Netgear stopped shipping software updates in 2017, and as of 2022 the common web browsers only accept TLS 1.3 connections. Fortunately, I was able to put Firefox into backwards-compatibility mode using about:config - and connect to the unit again that way (whew!) Just the same, I'm stuck with a unit that has usable life, but that today's browsers won't connect to easily!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I did some searching on the Internet and found <a href="https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/upgrade-for-my-Ultra-2-Plus/td-p/2160134" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this discussion</a> for upgrading from ReadyNAS 4.x to 6.0, which should include TLS 1.3 support. The first step is to upgrade the unit's DDR3 memory from 1 GB to 2 GB (the maximum it will support.)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I found a used <a href="https://www.newegg.com/p/0RM-0016-00095?Description=MT8JSF25664HZ-1G&cm_re=MT8JSF25664HZ-1G-_-9SIAE9A7KC0612-_-Product&quicklink=true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Micron 2GB DDR3 PC3-8500S Single-Rank</a> module on Newegg and I ordered it with crossed-fingers.

There were some challenges getting my favorite tools on-board but I ultimately got them all resolved and the system has been working great!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This past couple of days, however, the system has started taking spontaneous panics occasionally ๐ I can't be sure, but it seems like it may be related to the recently distributed XCode 12.5.1 update.

Ha ha, not to be!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Ruckus Tech Support was helpful, they told me to delete each AP from the ZD1100 and then "Approve" them for addition on the ZD1200. Unfortunately, they didn't compatibility check the firmware revisions between the ZD1100 and 1200 - and it turned out they were sufficiently distant as to cause the r700 access points to enter an "Upgrading Firmware" endless loop, prohibiting them from coming online into the desired "Connected" status๐</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I spent a lot of time trying to resolve the issue and eventually found <a href="https://www.yodernetwork.com/ruckus-r700-stuck-in-upgrading-firmware-loop" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this helpful post</a> by Ryan Yoder on the Yoder Network site. But even better, I was fortunate to secure two-hours of assistance from a Ruckus tech support engineer. He recommended downgrading the firmware on the new ZD to a compatible version for the old ZD - then moving the access points and config over to the new ZD and upgrading the firmware there! This has the added benefit of preserving all your wireless network configurations while upgrading all the APs at once, too. There are some rubs, however. If there's enough difference between the old ZD rev and the new ZD's latest rev, it may be necessary to do several incremental upgrades to avoid issues.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I am frankly amazed that Ruckus hasn't made the migration process more comprehensive and easier to perform! But once it's done, it's done - and with a big sigh of relief, too!๐โ</span></p>sqaviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09062892191092108105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162582662230986498.post-13505423970231510752020-11-18T22:33:00.001-08:002020-11-18T22:49:19.971-08:00Update Raspbian OS on the Raspberry Pi<div><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I have an early Raspberry Pi model running the Raspbian OS "jessie" release (which lacks Python 3.6 and its useful "f-string" format syntax.) So, I wanted to upgrade to the contemporary "buster" release to resolve that issue. Here's what worked:</span></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Follow <a href="https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/raspberry-pi-update-raspbian-os/#update-raspbian-to-the-latest-version" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these excellent instructions</a> (Use the section "Update Raspbian to the Latest Version") to manually update OS releases sequentially. So, in my case, I upgraded from "jessie" to "stretch" and then from "stretch" to "buster."</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">You'll likely want to upgrade the Docker packages, too. To do it, refer to the following steps:<a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#install-using-the-convenience-script" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><br /></a></span></li><ul><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Remove the existing Docker installation (See "<a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#os-requirements" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Uninstall old versions</a>.")<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Download and run the "Convenience Script" (See "<a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/#install-using-the-convenience-script" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Install using the convenience script</a>") to do the upgrade installation.</span></li></ul></ol></div><span style="font-family: arial;">Now, "You're Good to Go" with the latest release ("buster" in this example!)

It's short and to the point, distilling what could be a confusing consideration of ethics into a few simple approaches, which will make a big difference for any applied project. Starting with the obvious, pledges and creeds, it quickly shows why they're inadequate. Then, the authors discuss the checklist approach, which is applied, systematic, and reproducible. The book gives practical examples of ethical challenges, showing how easily unexamined projects with noble intentions can go awry! Just raising awareness is a big take-away from the book - and if teams develop and apply the checklist approach, it's far more likely they'll deliver solutions that actually "Walk the Talk" of consumer privacy and responsible data management.</span>sqaviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09062892191092108105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162582662230986498.post-13611085928427494402018-12-24T17:36:00.001-08:002018-12-24T17:36:40.017-08:00Off to Mars we go!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/elon-musk-shows-off-mars-starship-prototype-rocket-under-construction/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">an amazing summary</a> from C|Net of the massive <b>SpaceX Starship</b>, which is envisioned to take up to 100 humans to Mars ahead.

Navigating the frequent and massive Windows 10 Updates is simply "burdensome". And the new features aren't that compelling. Time to re-think the strategy, MSFT!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another interesting insight from the article, "<span style="background-color: white; color: #080e14;">it's widely known that</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #080e14;"> </span><a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-layoffs-operating-systems-group-chief-myersons-memo-to-the-troops/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1174c7; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Microsoft let go a bunch of its Windows testers back in 2014</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #080e14;">, substituting flighting and new unit testing procedures in their stead. I don't think Microsoft will reverse this course and bring back testing as a separate discipline. But they could improve their testing procedures and supporting infrastructure as part of a return to a focus on fundamentals."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #080e14;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #080e14;">I've worked at large companies that effectively eliminated QA engineers on behalf of "Agile Stretch". It generally doesn't work well! Developers have a different mindset and focus than Testers, and the end quality often reflects that. You really don't want to go there! ๐ฎ</span></span>sqaviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09062892191092108105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162582662230986498.post-69106881226765155332018-06-26T19:30:00.000-07:002018-06-26T19:30:18.689-07:00WPA3 Me!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/6/26/17501594/wpa3-wifi-security-certification" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">WPA3</a> is on the way, cool!</span>sqaviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09062892191092108105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162582662230986498.post-32642909128888105282018-04-15T07:33:00.000-07:002018-04-15T07:34:16.282-07:00Semantic search example<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A fascinating example of <a href="https://books.google.com/talktobooks/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">semantic search</a> from Google.</span>sqaviewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09062892191092108105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162582662230986498.post-40500424575133709932018-01-16T21:48:00.000-08:002018-01-16T21:48:27.633-08:00It's not a Bullet, it's a Black Hole!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/01/16/cost-climbs-by-2-8-billion-for-california-bullet-train/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">$67 Billion end-to-end</a>?
