Playing with HTML5

 This is me going "Hey, let's open up VS Code and just mess around." Here is the website for this project.

 

Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager Pashmina looks confused at a bookshelf

Let's look at what I did!

 

 
    background-blend-mode: soft-light;

This will fade out the image to reflect the color of the background with the background-color property.

The hovering effect over the informative banners came from here. It's not new, I remember nth-child properties. Everyone of them has the same effect placed upon them.

Also old are marquees with loop counts -

marquee behavior="scroll" direction="right" loop="500"

I call it 'The Eternal Marquee'

Direction is new. I have seen text go up and down, and you can do it with images as well, but I stuck to right.

Something in my code is overriding the hover effects in my ps class (the scrolling images):

 CSS:

.ps :hover{
    opacity: 100%;
    background-blend-mode: multiply;  
  }

 HTML:

 <img src="l1.jpg" width="923" height="519" alt="Natural" class="ps" />

 

Putting everything between divs didn't work either;

 

<div class="ps"> 
        <img src="l1.jpg" width="923" height="519" alt="Natural" />
        /* omitted for brevity */
    </div> 

 

 

The hover effect works for links, so I'm not sure what.

a :hover {
    color: orange
}

 Let's look at the CSS for a marquee -

It's too much to put all here, and the details are for better control of webpage elements. This is particularly text based .

I did manage to put a temporary top to bottom marquee on the H1 element.


Let's focus on what I did learn - Responsive sizing.

So when you adjust the viewport, the informative banners will now adjust!

 

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">     <title>The Great Library</title>

 

    width: 100%;

 That soft light CSS filter above.

 

The animation effect to pop things up.

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an intruder, but it is a step. There are no devices associated with this new server; In an earlier lab (not shown), I attached them to 'H

Securing Terraform and You Part 1 -- rego, Tfsec, and Terrascan

9/20: The open source version of Terraform is now  OpenTofu     Sometimes, I write articles even when things don't work. It's about showing a learning process.  Using IaC means consistency, and one thing you don't want to do is have 5 open S3 buckets on AWS that anyone on the internet can reach.  That's where tools such as Terrascan and Tfsec come in, where we can make our own policies and rules to be checked against our code before we init.  As this was contract work, I can't show you the exact code used, but I can tell you that this blog post by Cesar Rodriguez of Cloud Security Musings was quite helpful, as well as this one by Chris Ayers . The issue is using Rego; I found a cool VS Code Extension; Terrascan Rego Editor , as well as several courses on Styra Academy; Policy Authoring and Policy Essentials . The big issue was figuring out how to tell Terrascan to follow a certain policy; I made it, put it in a directory, and ran the program while in that directory

Create a Simple Network (Packet Tracer) + A Walkthrough

Again; I've done this, but now there's so many new things, I'm doing it again. The truly new portions were...everything on the right side of this diagram; The cloud needed a coax connector and a copper Ethernet connector. It's all easy to install, turn off the cloud (Weird), install the modules. Getting the Cable section of Connections was an unusual struggle - The other drop down menu had nothing within. It required going into the Ethernet options and setting the Provider Network to 'cable', which is the next step AFTER the drop-downs. The rest was typical DHCP and DNS setups, mainly on the Cisco server down there. The post is rather short - How about adding a video to it? Find out what A Record means - This site says 'Maps a name to an IP address', which is DNS. So it's another name for DNS? You can change them (presumably in a local context) to associate an IP address to another name.
