  32         <p>I fjor sommer lagde jeg en
  33 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/SQL_database_med_anbud_publisert_p__Doffin.html">offentlig
  34 tilgjengelig SQL-database over offentlig anbud</a> basert på skraping
  35 av HTML-data fra Doffin.  Den har stått og gått siden da, og har nå
  36 ca. 28000 oppføringer.  Jeg oppdaget da jeg tittet innom at noen
  37 oppføringer var ikke blitt med, antagelig på grunn av at de fikk
  38 tildelt sekvensnummer i Doffin en godt stund før de ble publisert,
  39 slik at min nettsideskraper som fortsatte skrapingen der den slapp
  40 sist ikke fikk dem med seg.  Jeg har fikset litt slik at skraperen nå
  41 ser litt tilbake i tid for å se om den har gått glipp av noen
  42 oppføringer, og har skrapet på nytt fra midten av september 2013 og
  43 fremover.  Det bør dermed bli en mer komplett database for kommende
  44 måneder.  Hvis jeg får tid skal jeg forsøke å skrape "glemte" data fra
  45 før midten av september 2013, men tør ikke garantere at det blir
  46 prioritert med det første. </p>
  47
  48 <p>Men målet med denne bloggposten er å vise hvordan denne
  49 Doffin-databasen kan brukes og integreres med en RSS-leser, slik at en
  50 kan la datamaskinen holde et øye med Doffin-annonseringer etter
  51 nøkkelord.  En kan lage sitt eget søk ved å besøke
  52 <ahref="https://classic.scraperwiki.com/docs/api?name=norwegian-doffin#sqlite">API-et
  53 hos Scraperwiki</a>, velge format rss2 og så legge inn noe ala dette i
  54 "query in SQL":</p>
  55
  56 <p><pre>
  57 select title, scrapedurl as link, abstract as description,
  58        publishdate as pubDate from 'swdata'
  59    where abstract like '%linux%' or title like '%linux%'
  60    order by seq desc limit 20
  61 </pre></p>
  62
  63 <p>Dette vil søke opp alle anbud med ordet linux i oppsummering eller
  64 tittel.  En kan lage mer avanserte søk hvis en ønsker det.  URL-en som
  65 dukker opp nederst på siden kan en så gi til sin RSS-leser (jeg bruker
  66 akregator selv), og så automatisk få beskjed hvis det dukker opp anbud
  67 med det aktuelle nøkkelordet i teksten.  Merk at kapasiteten hos
  68 Scraperwiki er begrenset, så be RSS-leseren kun hente ned en gang hver
  69 dag eller noe slikt.</p>
  70
  71 <p>Du lurer kanskje på hva slags informasjon en kan få ut fra denne
  72 databasen.  Her er to RSS-kilder, med søkeordet
  73 "<a href="https://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/sqlite?format=rss2&name=norwegian-doffin&query=select%20title%2C%20scrapedurl%20as%20link%2C%20abstract%20as%20description%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20publishdate%20as%20pubDate%20from%20'swdata'%0A%20%20%20where%20abstract%20like%20'%25linux%25'%20or%20title%20like%20'%25linux%25'%0A%20%20%20order%20by%20seq%20desc%20limit%2020">linux</a>",

  77 og søkeordet
  78 "<a href="https://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/sqlite?format=rss2&name=norwegian-doffin&query=select%20title%2C%20scrapedurl%20as%20link%2C%20abstract%20as%20description%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20publishdate%20as%20pubDate%20from%20'swdata'%0A%20%20%20where%20abstract%20like%20'%25odf%25'%20or%20title%20like%20'%25odf%25'%0A%20%20%20order%20by%20seq%20desc%20limit%2020">odf</a>".
  79 Det er bare å søke på det en er interessert i.  Kopier gjerne
  80 datasettet og sett opp din egen tjeneste hvis du vil gjøre mer
  81 avanserte søk.  SQLite-filen med Doffin-oppføringer kan lastes med fra
  82 Scraperwiki for de som vil grave dypere.</p>

 103       <div class="body">
 104         Drones, flying robots, are getting more and more popular.  The most
 105 know ones are the killer drones used by some government to murder
 106 people they do not like without giving them the chance of a fair
 107 trial, but the technology have many good uses too, from mapping and
 108 forest maintenance to photography and search and rescue.  I am sure it
 109 is just a question of time before "bad drones" are in the hands of
 110 private enterprises and not only state criminals but petty criminals
 111 too.  The drone technology is very useful and very dangerous.  To have
 112 some control over the use of drones, I agree with Daniel Suarez in his
 113 TED talk
 114 "<a href="https://archive.org/details/DanielSuarez_2013G">The kill
 115 decision shouldn't belong to a robot</a>", where he suggested this
 116 little gem to keep the good while limiting the bad use of drones:</p>
 117
 118 <blockquote>
 119
 120 <p>Each robot and drone should have a cryptographically signed
 121 I.D. burned in at the factory that can be used to track its movement
 122 through public spaces. We have license plates on cars, tail numbers on
 123 aircraft. This is no different. And every citizen should be able to
 124 download an app that shows the population of drones and autonomous
 125 vehicles moving through public spaces around them, both right now and
 126 historically. And civic leaders should deploy sensors and civic drones
 127 to detect rogue drones, and instead of sending killer drones of their
 128 own up to shoot them down, they should notify humans to their
 129 presence. And in certain very high-security areas, perhaps civic
 130 drones would snare them and drag them off to a bomb disposal facility.</p>
 131
 132 <p>But notice, this is more an immune system than a weapons system. It
 133 would allow us to avail ourselves of the use of autonomous vehicles
 134 and drones while still preserving our open, civil society.</p>
 135
 136 </blockquote>
 137
 138 <p>The key is that <em>every citizen</em> should be able to read the
 139 radio beacons sent from the drones in the area, to be able to check
 140 both the government and others use of drones.  For such control to be
 141 effective, everyone must be able to do it.  What should such beacon
 142 contain?  At least formal owner, purpose, contact information and GPS
 143 location.  Probably also the origin and target position of the current
 144 flight.  And perhaps some registration number to be able to look up
 145 the drone in a central database tracking their movement.  Robots
 146 should not have privacy.  It is people who need privacy.</p>

 200         <p>Continuing my research into mesh networking, I was recommended to
 201 use TP-Link 3040 and 3600 access points as mesh nodes, and the pair I
 202 bought arrived on Friday.  Here are my notes on how to set up the
 203 MR3040 as a mesh node using
 204 <a href="http://www.openwrt.org/">OpenWrt</a>.</p>
 205
 206 <p>I started by following the instructions on the OpenWRT wiki for
 207 <a href="http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3040">TL-MR3040</a>,
 208 and downloaded
 209 <a href="http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin">the
 210 recommended firmware image</a>
 211 (openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin) and
 212 uploaded it into the original web interface.  The flashing went fine,
 213 and the machine was available via telnet on the ethernet port.  After
 214 logging in and setting the root password, ssh was available and I
 215 could start to set it up as a batman-adv mesh node.</p>
 216
 217 <p>I started off by reading the instructions from
 218 <a href="http://wirelessafrica.meraka.org.za/wiki/index.php?title=Antoine's_Research">Wireless
 219 Africa</a>, which had quite a lot of useful information, but
 220 eventually I followed the recipe from the Open Mesh wiki for
 221 <a href="http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Batman-adv-openwrt-config">using
 222 batman-adv on OpenWrt</a>.  A small snag was the fact that the
 223 <tt>opkg install kmod-batman-adv</tt> command did not work as it
 224 should.  The batman-adv kernel module would fail to load because its
 225 dependency crc16 was not already loaded.  I
 226 <a href="https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/14452">reported the bug</a> to
 227 the openwrt project and hope it will be fixed soon.  But the problem
 228 only seem to affect initial testing of batman-adv, as configuration
 229 seem to work when booting from scratch.</p>
 230
 231 <p>The setup is done using files in /etc/config/.  I did not bridge
 232 the Ethernet and mesh interfaces this time, to be able to hook up the
 233 box on my local network and log into it for configuration updates.
 234 The following files were changed and look like this after modifying
 235 them:</p>

 362 <p>Pretty minimalistic to me... For the record, the original sysv-rc
 363 script was 137 lines, and the above is just 15 lines, most of it meta
 364 info/comments.</p>
 365
 366 <p>How to do this, you ask?  Well, one create a new script
 367 /lib/init/init-d-script looking something like this:

 519 <p>It is based on /etc/init.d/skeleton, and could be improved quite a
 520 lot.  I did not really polish the approach, so it might not always
 521 work out of the box, but you get the idea.  I did not try very hard to
 522 optimize it nor make it more robust either.</p>
 523
 524 <p>A better argument for switching init system in Debian than reducing
 525 the size of init scripts (which is a good thing to do anyway), is to
 526 get boot system that is able to handle the kernel events sensibly and
 527 robustly, and do not depend on the boot to run sequentially.  The boot
 528 and the kernel have not behaved sequentially in years.</p>

 550 remote display access is the preferred solution with oVirt and RedHat
 551 Enterprise Virtualization, and I was sad to discover the other day
 552 that the browser plugin needed to use these systems seamlessly was
 553 missing in Debian.  The <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/668284">request
 554 for a package</a> was from 2012-04-10 with no progress since
 555 2013-04-01, so I decided to wrap up a package based on the great work
 556 from Cajus Pollmeier and put it in a collab-maint maintained git
 557 repository to get a package I could use.  I would very much like
 558 others to help me maintain the package (or just take over, I do not
 559 mind), but as no-one had volunteered so far, I just uploaded it to
 560 NEW.  I hope it will be available in Debian in a few days.</p>
