foscam dvr and camera web plugins blocked by flash

In Firefox 52 (? I think) the flash execution is blocked by default.  There is no key present to disable the blocker in the Firefox config.  Instructions from Foscam support shows what to do go go round it.

If you are vulnerable to exploits this may allow malware to run flash exploits, so any PC this is installed on should be evaluated for public or even local exposure to malware.  Suggest no email, no browsing, limited lan exposure, or even private router natted if you are really paranoid.

****************
Firefox has just released new version 52.0, in this version it has disabled support for NPAPI plugin which Foscam and other manufactures are using.

With this update, Foscam plugin can no longer run properly.
 But you can still setup Firefox following below steps to get your Foscam devices work again on Firefox 52.

Step1: Input about:config in Firefox address bar, hit enter

You’ll see warning message below, please click ‘I accept the risk’.

Step2: Right click and choose New, then Boolean
Please input name plugin.load_flash_only
Then click OK, choose false and click OK again.
Step3: Please restart Firefox and try again.

Openmediavault notes

Openmediavault is an opensource nas system that supports intel and arm.

Most notes here will be related to the Friendlyarm Nanopi Neo and Nanopi Neo2

First tests with v1.0 media dock had some problems.  The USB port on the dock board worked, but the original attempt to use a Seagate 2tb drive didn't work.

After much help from Friendlyarm and debugging the kernel, it appeared that there was a probably known bug manifested for the drive in this case.  Will be testing later with other drives and also new builds of the kernel as well to see if that problem works out.

Great support from Friendlyarm in working on this.

V1.0 JM20329 SATA -> USB bridge.  The board has a 12V supply which runs both the SATA drive and the NEO or NEO2 board.

Updates for V1.2 to follow.

The Friendlyarm NEO and NEO2 both have debian builds with openmediavault already built.  Most of the instructions for installing the OMV on the Intel or generic build up install can be ignored, because as supplied, the Friendlyarm images have been installed with generic settings, then the SD images saved.

The instructions below have instructions on a "from bare metal" install on Intel and perhaps others, and the info for configuring the Openmediavault post install from the web interface is the reason for including the links or information here.

c# json. Converting json to c#; convert xml to c#

1down vote

For those who land here from google searching for the reverse (generate the C# class from JSON) - I use those fine online tools: JSON: http://json2csharp.com/ (Source: http://jsonclassgenerator.codeplex.com/) XML: http://xmltocsharp.azurewebsites.net/ (Source: https://github.com/msyoung/XmlToCSharp) From reverse jsonclassgenerator tool is great. Another simple option is to use Edit->Paste Special-> Paste JSON as Classes in Visual Studio. This creates a class too! Quite handy sometimes. – sandiejat Mar 16 at 5:25 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15782982/generating-json-schema-from-c-sharp-class Json <--> csharp part1: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/890283/JSON-version-to-Csharp-Objects-and-Back-Part part2 https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/890353/JSON-version-to-Csharp-Objects-and-Back-Part

Ebay history download tool

Ebay doesn't let you download your buy history.  This tool exports it in various formats.

The most useful being xml.  However the XML is actually exported as a multivalue format,
and generic parsers do not get it right.

schema is:

<order>
  <items>
     <item></item>
     <item></item>
  </items>
  <items>
    ...
</order>

within each <items> object there are multiple <item> objects each representing a separate transaction with the vendor of <items> object.  So a multi-valued database would have no problem.  However
linear xml parsing results in a mess if translating later to such as an XML or flat file.

however beats nothing as an export tool

There is a chrome plugin called "ebay purchase history report". This is the best I have found so far. Only problem is it does not show the tracking# of the ordered item.

Issue is how to reply to messages.  

IXC208I THE RESPONSE TO MESSAGE IXC420D IS INCORRECT: IS NOT A VALID ACTION
IXC420D REPLY I TO INITIALIZE SYSPLEX ADCDPL, OR R TO REINITIALIZE XCF.
REPLYING I WILL IMPACT OTHER ACTIVE SYSTEMS.
I
IEE282A REPLY 00 EXPECTED; NO OTHER COMMANDS ACCEPTED. SPECIFY
REPLY 00.

All replies to messages in z/OS (and other versions of MVS) are done with
the reply command. The command is issued as "R <id>,<text>", where <id> is
the reply ID printed next to the message and <text> is the text of the
reply. There's no reply ID shown next to this message because the reply ID
at NIP time (before the full console display is redrawn) is always 00. That
means you need to enter the command as "R 00,'I'" (without the "").
