-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I 2011 raderte et stortingsflertall bestående av Høyre og
-Arbeiderpartiet vekk en betydelig del av privatsfæren til det norske
-folk.  Det ble vedtatt at det skulle registreres og lagres i et halvt
-år hvor alle som bærer på en mobiltelefon befinner seg, hvem de
-snakker med og hvor lenge de snakket sammen.  Det skal også
-registreres hvem de sendte SMS-meldinger til, hvem en har sendt epost
-til, og hvilke nett-tjenere en besøkte.  Saken er kjent som
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Datalagringsdirektivet
-(DLD)&lt;/a&gt;, og innebærer at alle innbyggerne og andre innenfor Norges
-grenser overvåkes døgnet rundt.  Det ble i praksis innført brev og
-besøkskontroll av hele befolkningen.  Rapporter fra de landene som
-allerede har innført slik total lagring av borgernes
-kommunikasjonsmønstre forteller at det ikke hjelper i
-kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.  Den norske prislappen blir mange hundre
-millioner, uten at det ser ut til å bidra positivt til politiets
-arbeide.  Jeg synes flere hundre millioner i stedet burde vært brukt
-på noe som kan dokumenteres å ha effekt i kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.
-Se mer på
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;
-og &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84&quot;&gt;Jon Wessel-Aas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hva er problemet, tenkter du kanskje?  Et åpenbart problem er at
-medienes kildevern i praksis blir radert ut.  Den innsamlede
-informasjonen gjør det mulig å finne ut hvem som har snakket med
-journalister på telefon, SMS og epost, og hvem som har vært i nærheten
-av journalister så sant begge bar med seg en telefon.  Et annet er at
-advokatvernet blir sterkt redusert, der politiet kan finne ut hvem
-som har snakket med en advokat når, eller vært i møter en med advokat.
-Et tredje er at svært personlig informasjon kan avledes fra hvilke
-nettsteder en har besøkt.  Har en besøkt hivnorge.no,
-swingersnorge.com eller andre sider som kan brukes til avlede
-interesser som hører til privatsfæren, vil denne informasjonen være
-tilgjengelig takket være datalagringsdirektivet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;De fleste partiene var mot, kun to partier stemte for.  Høyre og
-Arbeiderpartiet.  Og både Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet i Oslo har
-DLD-forkjempere på toppen av sine lister (har ikke sjekket de andre
-fylkene).  Det er dermed helt uaktuelt for meg å stemme på disse
-partiene.  Her er oversikten over partienes valglister i Oslo, med
-informasjon om hvem som stemte hva i første DLD-votering i Stortinget,
-basert på informasjon fra mine venner i 
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/votes/1301946411e&quot;&gt;Holder de
-Ord&lt;/a&gt; samt &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stortinget.no/&quot;&gt;data.stortinget.no&lt;/a&gt;.

-&lt;p&gt;Hvilket parti får så min stemme i år.  Jeg tror det blir

-til at det kommer noen inn på Stortinget med teknisk peiling, så får
-kanskje ikke overvåkningsgalskapen like fritt spillerom som det har
-hatt så langt.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Sat, 2 Nov 2013 22:40:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;If one of the points of switching to a new init system in Debian is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://thomas.goirand.fr/blog/?p=147&quot;&gt;to get rid of huge
+init.d scripts&lt;/a&gt;, I doubt we need to switch away from sysvinit and
+init.d scripts at all.  Here is an example init.d script, ie a rewrite
+of /etc/init.d/rsyslog:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+#!/lib/init/init-d-script
+### BEGIN INIT INFO
+# Provides:          rsyslog
+# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $time
+# Required-Stop:     umountnfs $time
+# X-Stop-After:      sendsigs
+# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
+# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
+# Short-Description: enhanced syslogd
+# Description:       Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd.
+#                    It is quite compatible to stock sysklogd and can be 
+#                    used as a drop-in replacement.
+### END INIT INFO
+DESC=&quot;enhanced syslogd&quot;
+DAEMON=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Pretty minimalistic to me... For the record, the original sysv-rc
+script was 137 lines, and the above is just 15 lines, most of it meta
+info/comments.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;How to do this, you ask?  Well, one create a new script
+/lib/init/init-d-script looking something like this:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+#!/bin/sh
+
+# Define LSB log_* functions.
+# Depend on lsb-base (&gt;= 3.2-14) to ensure that this file is present
+# and status_of_proc is working.
+. /lib/lsb/init-functions
+
+#
+# Function that starts the daemon/service
+
+#
+do_start()
+{
+       # Return
+       #   0 if daemon has been started
+       #   1 if daemon was already running
+       #   2 if daemon could not be started
+       start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON --test &gt; /dev/null \
+               || return 1
+       start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- \
+               $DAEMON_ARGS \
+               || return 2
+       # Add code here, if necessary, that waits for the process to be ready
+       # to handle requests from services started subsequently which depend
+       # on this one.  As a last resort, sleep for some time.
+}
+
+#
+# Function that stops the daemon/service
+#
+do_stop()
+{
+       # Return
+       #   0 if daemon has been stopped
+       #   1 if daemon was already stopped
+       #   2 if daemon could not be stopped
+       #   other if a failure occurred
+       start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --retry=TERM/30/KILL/5 --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME
+       RETVAL=&quot;$?&quot;
+       [ &quot;$RETVAL&quot; = 2 ] &amp;&amp; return 2
+       # Wait for children to finish too if this is a daemon that forks

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

-                <pubDate>Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The second wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
-today, slightly delayed because of some bugs in the initial Windows
-integration fixes .  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b1 released 2013-08-22&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-7.1+edu0~b1, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
-Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
-out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
-network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
-services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
-and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
-environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
-the main server from CD or USB stick all other machines can be
-installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
-database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
-directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
-desktop contains
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
-than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
-the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
-and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is the sixth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this
-is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze
-release.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
-versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
-release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
-deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
-gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/08/msg00127.html&quot;&gt;on
-the mailing list&lt;/a&gt;. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and
-replace both contained admin password placeholders with the password
-hashes found in the old one (backup copy!). In both cases every user
-need to change their their password to make sure a password is set for
-CIFS access to their home directory.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Added ssh askpass packages to default installation, to ensure ssh
-    work also without a attached tty.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Add the command-not-found package to the default installation to
-    make it easier to figure out where to find missing command line
-    tools. Please note, that the command &#39;update-command-not-found&#39;
-    has to be run as root to actually make it useful (internet access
-    required).&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Adjusted the USB stick ISO image build to include every tool
-needed for desktop=xfce installations.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Adjust thin-client-server task to work when installing from USB
-stick ISO image.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Made new grub artwork (changed png from indexed to RGB format).&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Minor cleanup in the CUPS setup.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Make sure that bootstrapping of the Samba domain really happens
-    during installation of the main server and adjust SID handling to
-    cope with this.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Make Samba passwords changeable (again) via GOsa².&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Fix generation of LM and NT password hashes via GOsa² to avoid
-    empty password hashes.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Adapted Samba machine domain joining to latest change in the
-    smbldap-tools Perl package, fixing bugs blocking Windows machines
-    from joining the Samba domain.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;KDE fails to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
-    not use the http proxy as it should.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Chromium also fails to use the proxy when using the KDE desktop
-    (using the KDE configuration).&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

+remote display access is the preferred solution with oVirt and RedHat
+Enterprise Virtualization, and I was sad to discover the other day
+that the browser plugin needed to use these systems seamlessly was
+missing in Debian.  The &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/668284&quot;&gt;request
+for a package&lt;/a&gt; was from 2012-04-10 with no progress since
+2013-04-01, so I decided to wrap up a package based on the great work
+from Cajus Pollmeier and put it in a collab-maint maintained git
+repository to get a package I could use.  I would very much like
+others to help me maintain the package (or just take over, I do not
+mind), but as no-one had volunteered so far, I just uploaded it to
+NEW.  I hope it will be available in Debian in a few days.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The source is now available from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/spice-xpi.git;a=summary&quot;&gt;http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/spice-xpi.git;a=summary&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Sun, 18 Aug 2013 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Earlier, I reported about
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html&quot;&gt;my
-problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk&lt;/a&gt;.  Friday I was
-told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away.  And as
-there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
-today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
-currently on the disk.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&amp;ProdId=3472&amp;DwnldID=18363&amp;ProductFamily=Solid-State+Drives+and+Caching&amp;ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+High+Performance+Solid-State+Drive&amp;ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+SSD+520+Series+(180GB%2c+2.5in+SATA+6Gb%2fs%2c+25nm%2c+MLC)&amp;lang=eng&quot;&gt;issdfut_2.0.4.iso&lt;/a&gt;
-(aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
-according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
-disks.  I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
-booted the ISO from a USB stick.  The disk was recognized, but the
-program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
-to insert any Intel firmware.  So no change, and the disk is still
-unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
-working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware.  No idea how likely
-that is.  Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness.  I
-got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
-the broken disks.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Teaching_vmdebootstrap_to_create_Raspberry_Pi_SD_card_images.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Sun, 27 Oct 2013 17:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/v/vmdebootstrap.html&quot;&gt;vmdebootstrap&lt;/a&gt;
+program is a a very nice system to create virtual machine images.  It
+create a image file, add a partition table, mount it and run
+debootstrap in the mounted directory to create a Debian system on a
+stick.  Yesterday, I decided to try to teach it how to make images for
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi&quot;&gt;Raspberry Pi&lt;/a&gt;, as part
+of a plan to simplify the build system for
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox&quot;&gt;the FreedomBox
+project&lt;/a&gt;.  The FreedomBox project already uses vmdebootstrap for
+the virtualbox images, but its current build system made multistrap
+based system for Dreamplug images, and it is lacking support for
+Raspberry Pi.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Armed with the knowledge on how to build &quot;foreign&quot; (aka non-native
+architecture) chroots for Raspberry Pi, I dived into the vmdebootstrap
+code and adjusted it to be able to build armel images on my amd64
+Debian laptop.  I ended up giving vmdebootstrap five new options,
+allowing me to replicate the image creation process I use to make
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_Raspberry_Pi_based_batman_adv_Mesh_network_node.html&quot;&gt;Debian
+Jessie based mesh node images for the Raspberry Pi&lt;/a&gt;.  First, the
+&lt;tt&gt;--foreign /path/to/binfm_handler&lt;/tt&gt; option tell vmdebootstrap to
+call debootstrap with --foreign and to copy the handler into the
+generated chroot before running the second stage.  This allow
+vmdebootstrap to create armel images on an amd64 host.  Next I added
+two new options &lt;tt&gt;--bootsize size&lt;/tt&gt; and &lt;tt&gt;--boottype
+fstype&lt;/tt&gt; to teach it to create a separate /boot/ partition with the
+given file system type, allowing me to create an image with a vfat
+partition for the /boot/ stuff.  I also added a &lt;tt&gt;--variant
+variant&lt;/tt&gt; option to allow me to create smaller images without the
+Debian base system packages installed.  Finally, I added an option
+&lt;tt&gt;--no-extlinux&lt;/tt&gt; to tell vmdebootstrap to not install extlinux
+as a boot loader.  It is not needed on the Raspberry Pi and probably
+most other non-x86 architectures.  The changes were accepted by the
+upstream author of vmdebootstrap yesterday and today, and is now
+available from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://git.liw.fi/cgi-bin/cgit/cgit.cgi/vmdebootstrap/&quot;&gt;the
+upstream project page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To use it to build a Raspberry Pi image using Debian Jessie, first
+create a small script (the customize script) to add the non-free
+binary blob needed to boot the Raspberry Pi and the APT source
+list:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+#!/bin/sh
+set -e # Exit on first error
+rootdir=&quot;$1&quot;
+cd &quot;$rootdir&quot;
+cat &amp;lt;&amp;lt;EOF &gt; etc/apt/sources.list
+deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
+EOF
+# Install non-free binary blob needed to boot Raspberry Pi.  This
+# install a kernel somewhere too.
+wget https://raw.github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/master/rpi-update \
+    -O $rootdir/usr/bin/rpi-update
+chmod a+x $rootdir/usr/bin/rpi-update
+mkdir -p $rootdir/lib/modules
+touch $rootdir/boot/start.elf
+chroot $rootdir rpi-update
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Next, fetch the latest vmdebootstrap script and call it like this
+to build the image:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+sudo ./vmdebootstrap \
+    --variant minbase \
+    --arch armel \
+    --distribution jessie \
+    --mirror http://http.debian.net/debian \
+    --image test.img \
+    --size 600M \
+    --bootsize 64M \
+    --boottype vfat \
+    --log-level debug \
+    --verbose \
+    --no-kernel \
+    --no-extlinux \
+    --root-password raspberry \
+    --hostname raspberrypi \
+    --foreign /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static \
+    --customize `pwd`/customize \
+    --package netbase \
+    --package git-core \
+    --package binutils \
+    --package ca-certificates \
+    --package wget \
+    --package kmod
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The list of packages being installed are the ones needed by
+rpi-update to make the image bootable on the Raspberry Pi, with the
+exception of netbase, which is needed by debootstrap to find
+/etc/hosts with the minbase variant.  I really wish there was a way to
+set up an Raspberry Pi using only packages in the Debian archive, but
+that is not possible as far as I know, because it boots from the GPU
+using a non-free binary blob.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The build host need debootstrap, kpartx and qemu-user-static and
+probably a few others installed.  I have not checked the complete
+build dependency list.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The resulting image will not use the hardware floating point unit
+on the Raspberry PI, because the armel architecture in Debian is not
+optimized for that use.  So the images created will be a bit slower
+than &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.raspbian.org/&quot;&gt;Raspbian&lt;/a&gt; based images.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Fri, 2 Aug 2013 10:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
-have worked on a Norwegian
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
-to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
-law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
-number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
-not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
-I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
-first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
-progress of the translation:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
-proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
-drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
-missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
-index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
-English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
-page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
-done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
-of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
-docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
-Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;There is still need for translators and people with docbook
-knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
-with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
-translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
-redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
-around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
-If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
-project files currently available from
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
-the updated
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
-and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true&quot;&gt;EPUB&lt;/a&gt;
-are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
-github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
-saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;De siste måneders eksponering av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/uriks/Her-er-Edvard-Snowdens-mest-omtalte-avsloringer-7351734.html&quot;&gt;den
+totale overvåkningen som foregår i den vestlige verden dokumenterer
+hvor sårbare vi er&lt;/a&gt;.  Men det slår meg at de som er mest sårbare
+for dette, myndighetspersoner på alle nivåer, neppe har innsett at de
+selv er de mest interessante personene å lage profiler på, for å kunne
+påvirke dem.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For å ta et lite eksempel: Stortingets nettsted,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/&quot;&gt;www.stortinget.no&lt;/a&gt; (og
+forsåvidt også
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stortinget.no/&quot;&gt;data.stortinget.no&lt;/a&gt;),
+inneholder informasjon om det som foregår på Stortinget, og jeg antar
+de største brukerne av informasjonen der er representanter og
+rådgivere på Stortinget.  Intet overraskende med det.  Det som derimot
+er mer skjult er at Stortingets nettsted bruker
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Analytics&quot;&gt;Google
+Analytics&lt;/a&gt;, hvilket gjør at enhver som besøker nettsidene der også
+rapporterer om besøket via Internett-linjer som passerer Sverige,
+England og videre til USA.  Det betyr at informasjon om ethvert besøk
+på stortingets nettsider kan snappes opp av svensk, britisk og USAs
+etterretningsvesen.  De kan dermed holde et øye med hvilke
+Stortingssaker stortingsrepresentantene synes er interessante å sjekke
+ut, og hvilke sider rådgivere og andre på stortinget synes er
+interessant å besøke, når de gjør det og hvilke andre representanter
+som sjekker de samme sidene omtrent samtidig.  Stortingets bruk av
+Google Analytics gjør det dermed enkelt for utenlands etteretning å
+spore representantenes aktivitet og interesse.  Hvis noen av
+representantene bruker Google Mail eller noen andre tjenestene som
+krever innlogging, så vil det være enda enklere å finne ut nøyaktig
+hvilke personer som bruker hvilke nettlesere og dermed knytte
+informasjonen opp til enkeltpersoner på Stortinget.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Og jo flere nettsteder som bruker Google Analytics, jo bedre
+oversikt over stortingsrepresentantenes lesevaner og interesse blir
+tilgjengelig for svensk, britisk og USAs etterretning.  Hva de kan
+bruke den informasjonen til overlater jeg til leseren å undres
+over.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Sat, 27 Jul 2013 20:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The first wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
-today.  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b0 released
-2013-07-27&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-7.1+edu0~b0, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
-Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
-out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
-network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
-services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
-and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
-environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
-the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
-installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
-database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
-directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
-desktop contains
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
-than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
-the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
-and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is the fifth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
-this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
-Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
-versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
-release.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Switched roaming workstation profiles from wicd to network-manager
-   for network configuration, as wicd didn&#39;t work any more.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Changed version numbers of patched gosa and libpam-mklocaluser
-   packages to make sure our locally patched versions will be replaced
-   by the official packages when they are released from Debian. Those
-   installing alpha version need to reinstall or manually downgrade gosa
-   and libpam-mklocaluser.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Added bluetooth tools to the default desktop (bluedevil, blueman).&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Added tools for sharing the desktop on KDE (krdc, krfb).&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Added valgrind to the default installation for easier debugging of
-   crash bugs.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Fixed artwork package to work with gnome, no longer break
-   desktop=gnome installations.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Adjusted installer to now work when forced to use a proxy with the
-   netinst CD.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Fixed code detecting and setting/loading hardware specific
-   setup/firmware to work more robust out of the box.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Adjusted Kerberos setup to detect realm and server settings at
-   install time instead of dynamically at run time. This avoid a crash
-   with krb5-auth-dialog on diskless workstations without a DNS name.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Worked around misfeature in network-manager not calling the dhclient
-   exit hooks, causing automatic proxy configuration and automatic host
-   name setting at run time to work again.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Fixed feature setting the default Iceweasel start page from URL
-   fetched from LDAP, to allow schools to set the global default by
-   updating the dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no LDAP object.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Changed default host name on all networked machines to be unique
-   (generated from MAC or reverse DNS) after boot.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Adjusted partition sizes to make sure they are big enough.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Grub is missing the new artwork.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;KDE fail to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
-    not use the http proxy as it should.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;Chromium also fail to use the proxy.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_Raspberry_Pi_based_batman_adv_Mesh_network_node.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_Raspberry_Pi_based_batman_adv_Mesh_network_node.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The last few days I have been experimenting with
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki&quot;&gt;the
+batman-adv mesh technology&lt;/a&gt;.  I want to gain some experience to see
+if it will fit &lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox&quot;&gt;the
+Freedombox project&lt;/a&gt;, and together with my neighbors try to build a
+mesh network around the park where I live.  Batman-adv is a layer 2
+mesh system (&quot;ethernet&quot; in other words), where the mesh network appear
+as if all the mesh clients are connected to the same switch.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My hardware of choice was the Linksys WRT54GL routers I had lying
+around, but I&#39;ve been unable to get them working with batman-adv.  So
+instead, I started playing with a
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.raspberrypi.org/&quot;&gt;Raspberry Pi&lt;/a&gt;, and tried to
+get it working as a mesh node.  My idea is to use it to create a mesh
+node which function as a switch port, where everything connected to
+the Raspberry Pi ethernet plug is connected (bridged) to the mesh
+network.  This allow me to hook a wifi base station like the Linksys
+WRT54GL to the mesh by plugging it into a Raspberry Pi, and allow
+non-mesh clients to hook up to the mesh.  This in turn is useful for
+Android phones using &lt;a href=&quot;http://servalproject.org/&quot;&gt;the Serval
+Project&lt;/a&gt; voip client, allowing every one around the playground to
+phone and message each other for free.  The reason is that Android
+phones do not see ad-hoc wifi networks (they are filtered away from
+the GUI view), and can not join the mesh without being rooted.  But if
+they are connected using a normal wifi base station, they can talk to
+every client on the local network.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To get this working, I&#39;ve created a debian package
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/meshfx-node&quot;&gt;meshfx-node&lt;/a&gt;
+and a script
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/meshfx-node/blob/master/build-rpi-mesh-node&quot;&gt;build-rpi-mesh-node&lt;/a&gt;
+to create the Raspberry Pi boot image.  I&#39;m using Debian Jessie (and
+not Raspbian), to get more control over the packages available.
+Unfortunately a huge binary blob need to be inserted into the boot
+image to get it booting, but I&#39;ll ignore that for now.  Also, as
+Debian lack support for the CPU features available in the Raspberry
+Pi, the system do not use the hardware floating point unit.  I hope
+the routing performance isn&#39;t affected by the lack of hardware FPU
+support.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To create an image, run the following with a sudo enabled user
+after inserting the target SD card into the build machine:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% wget -O build-rpi-mesh-node \
+    https://raw.github.com/petterreinholdtsen/meshfx-node/master/build-rpi-mesh-node
+% sudo bash -x ./build-rpi-mesh-node &gt; build.log 2&gt;&amp;1
+% dd if=/root/rpi/rpi_basic_jessie_$(date +%Y%m%d).img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Booting with the resulting SD card on a Raspberry PI with a USB
+wifi card inserted should give you a mesh node.  At least it does for
+me with a the wifi card I am using. The default mesh settings are the
+ones used by the Oslo mesh project at Hackeriet, as I mentioned in
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Oslo_community_mesh_network___with_NUUG_and_Hackeriet_at_Hausmania.html&quot;&gt;an
+earlier blog post about this mesh testing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The mesh node was not horribly expensive either.  I bought
+everything over the counter in shops nearby.  If I had ordered online
+from the lowest bidder, the price should be significantly lower:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;table&gt;
+
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Supplier&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Model&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;NOK&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Teknikkmagasinet&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Raspberry Pi model B&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;349.90&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Teknikkmagasinet&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Raspberry Pi type B case&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;99.90&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Lefdal&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Jensen Air:Link 25150&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;295.-&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Clas Ohlson&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Kingston 16 GB SD card&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;199.-&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Total cost&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;943.80&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+
+&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Now my mesh network at home consist of one laptop in the basement
+connected to my production network, one Raspberry Pi node on the 1th
+floor that can be seen by my neighbor across the park, and one
+play-node I use to develop the image building script.  And some times
+I hook up my work horse laptop to the mesh to test it.  I look forward
+to figuring out what kind of latency the batman-adv setup will give,
+and how much packet loss we will experience around the park. :)&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I switched to
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html&quot;&gt;my
-new laptop&lt;/a&gt;.  I&#39;ve previously written about the problems I had with
-my new Thinkpad X230, which was delivered with an
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_SSD_520_Series_180_GB_with_Lenovo_firmware_still_lock_up_from_sustained_writes.html&quot;&gt;180
-GB Intel SSD disk with Lenovo firmware&lt;/a&gt; that did not handle
-sustained writes.  My hardware supplier have been very forthcoming in
-trying to find a solution, and after first trying with another
-identical 180 GB disks they decided to send me a 256 GB Samsung SSD
-disk instead to fix it once and for all.  The Samsung disk survived
-the installation of Debian with encrypted disks (filling the disk with
-random data during installation killed the first two), and I thus
-decided to trust it with my data.  I have installed it as a Debian Edu
-Wheezy roaming workstation hooked up with my Debian Edu Squeeze main
-server at home using Kerberos and LDAP, and will use it as my work
-station from now on.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;As this is a solid state disk with no moving parts, I believe the
-Debian Wheezy default installation need to be tuned a bit to increase
-performance and increase life time of the disk.  The Linux kernel and
-user space applications do not yet adjust automatically to such
-environment.  To make it easier for my self, I created a draft Debian
-package &lt;tt&gt;ssd-setup&lt;/tt&gt; to handle this tuning.  The
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ssd-setup.git&quot;&gt;source
-for the ssd-setup package&lt;/a&gt; is available from collab-maint, and it
-is set up to adjust the setup of the machine by just installing the
-package.  If there is any non-SSD disk in the machine, the package
-will refuse to install, as I did not try to write any logic to sort
-file systems in SSD and non-SSD file systems.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I consider the package a draft, as I am a bit unsure how to best
-set up Debian Wheezy with an SSD.  It is adjusted to my use case,
-where I set up the machine with one large encrypted partition (in
-addition to /boot), put LVM on top of this and set up partitions on
-top of this again.  See the README file in the package source for the
-references I used to pick the settings.  At the moment these
-parameters are tuned:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Set up cryptsetup to pass TRIM commands to the physical disk
-    (adding discard to /etc/crypttab)&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Set up LVM to pass on TRIM commands to the underlying device (in
-    this case a cryptsetup partition) by changing issue_discards from
-    0 to 1 in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Set relatime as a file system option for ext3 and ext4 file
-    systems.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Tell swap to use TRIM commands by adding &#39;discard&#39; to
-    /etc/fstab.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Change I/O scheduler from cfq to deadline using a udev rule.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Run fstrim on every ext3 and ext4 file system every night (from
-    cron.daily).&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Adjust sysctl values vm.swappiness to 1 and vm.vfs_cache_pressure
-    to 50 to reduce the kernel eagerness to swap out processes.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;During installation, I cancelled the part where the installer fill
-the disk with random data, as this would kill the SSD performance for
-little gain.  My goal with the encrypted file system is to ensure
-those stealing my laptop end up with a brick and not a working
-computer.  I have no hope in keeping the really resourceful people
-from getting the data on the disk (see
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://xkcd.com/538/&quot;&gt;XKCD #538&lt;/a&gt; for an explanation why).
-Thus I concluded that adding the discard option to crypttab is the
-right thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I considered using the noop I/O scheduler, as several recommended
-it for SSD, but others recommended deadline and a benchmark I found
-indicated that deadline might be better for interactive use.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I also considered using the &#39;discard&#39; file system option for ext3
-and ext4, but read that it would give a performance hit ever time a
-file is removed, and thought it best to that that slowdown once a day
-instead of during my work.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My package do not set up tmpfs on /var/run, /var/lock and /tmp, as
-this is already done by Debian Edu.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I have not yet started on the user space tuning.  I expect
-iceweasel need some tuning, and perhaps other applications too, but
-have not yet had time to investigate those parts.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The package should work on Ubuntu too, but I have not yet tested it
-there.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;As for the answer to the question in the title of this blog post,
-as far as I know, the only solution I know about is to replace the
-disk.  It might be possible to flash it with Intel firmware instead of
-the Lenovo firmware.  But I have not tried and did not want to do so
-without approval from Lenovo as I wanted to keep the warranty on the
-disk until a solution was found and they wanted the broken disks
-back.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, I wrote about
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html&quot;&gt;the
-problems I experienced with my new X230 and its SSD disk&lt;/a&gt;, which
-was dying during installation because it is unable to cope with
-sustained write.  My supplier is in contact with
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lenovo.com/&quot;&gt;Lenovo&lt;/a&gt;, and they wanted to send a
-replacement disk to try to fix the problem.  They decided to send an
-identical model, so my hopes for a permanent fix was slim.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Anyway, today I got the replacement disk and tried to install
-Debian Edu Wheezy with encrypted disk on it.  The new disk have the
-same firmware version as the original.  This time my hope raised
-slightly as the installation progressed, as the original disk used to
-die after 4-7% of the disk was written to, while this time it kept
-going past 10%, 20%, 40% and even past 50%.  But around 60%, the disk
-died again and I was back on square one.  I still do not have a new
-laptop with a disk I can trust.  I can not live with a disk that might
-lock up when I download a new
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; ISO or
-other large files.  I look forward to hearing from my supplier with
-the next proposal from Lenovo.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The original disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The last few days I came across a few good causes that should get
+wider attention.  I recommend signing and donating to each one of
+these. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Via &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2013/18/&quot;&gt;Debian
+Project News for 2013-10-14&lt;/a&gt; I came across the Outreach Program for
+Women program which is a Google Summer of Code like initiative to get

+to match &lt;a href=&quot;http://debian.ch/opw2013&quot;&gt;any donation done to Debian
+earmarked&lt;/a&gt; for this initiative.  I donated a few minutes ago, and
+hope you will to. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;And the Electronic Frontier Foundation just announced plans to
+create &lt;a href=&quot;https://supporters.eff.org/donate/nsa-videos&quot;&gt;video
+documentaries about the excessive spying&lt;/a&gt; on every Internet user that
+take place these days, and their need to fund the work.  I&#39;ve already
+donated.  Are you next?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For my Norwegian audience, the organisation Studentenes og
+Akademikernes Internasjonale Hjelpefond is collecting signatures for a
+statement under the heading
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://saih.no/Bloggers_United/&quot;&gt;Bloggers United for Open
+Access&lt;/a&gt; for those of us asking for more focus on open access in the
+Norwegian government.  So far 499 signatures.  I hope you will sign it
+too.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The upcoming Saturday, 2013-07-13, we are organising a combined
-Debian Edu developer gathering and Debian and Ubuntu bug squashing
-party in Oslo.  It is organised by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the
-member assosiation NUUG&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;the Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-project&lt;/a&gt; together with &lt;a href=&quot;http://bitraf.no/&quot;&gt;the hack space
-Bitraf&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;It starts 10:00 and continue until late evening.  Everyone is
-welcome, and there is no fee to participate.  There is on the other
-hand limited space, and only room for 30 people.  Please put your name
-on &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2013/07/13/no/Oslo&quot;&gt;the event

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Wireless mesh networks are self organising and self healing
+networks that can be used to connect computers across small and large
+areas, depending on the radio technology used.  Normal wifi equipment
+can be used to create home made radio networks, and there are several
+successful examples like
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freifunk.net/&quot;&gt;Freifunk&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.awmn.net/&quot;&gt;Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network&lt;/a&gt;
+(see
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_community_networks_by_region#Greece&quot;&gt;wikipedia
+for a large list&lt;/a&gt;) around the globe.  To give you an idea how it
+work, check out the nice overview of the Kiel Freifunk community which
+can be seen from their
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://freifunk.in-kiel.de/ffmap/nodes.html&quot;&gt;dynamically
+updated node graph and map&lt;/a&gt;, where one can see how the mesh nodes
+automatically handle routing and recover from nodes disappearing.
+There is also a small community mesh network group in Oslo, Norway,
+and that is the main topic of this blog post.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve wanted to check out mesh networks for a while now, and hoped
+to do it as part of my involvement with the &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG member organisation&lt;/a&gt; community, and
+my recent involvement in
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox&quot;&gt;the Freedombox project&lt;/a&gt;
+finally lead me to give mesh networks some priority, as I suspect a
+Freedombox should use mesh networks to connect neighbours and family
+when possible, given that most communication between people are
+between those nearby (as shown for example by research on Facebook
+communication patterns).  It also allow people to communicate without
+any central hub to tap into for those that want to listen in on the
+private communication of citizens, which have become more and more
+important over the years.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So far I have only been able to find one group of people in Oslo
+working on community mesh networks, over at the hack space
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://hackeriet.no/&quot;&gt;Hackeriet&lt;/a&gt; at Husmania.  They seem to
+have started with some Freifunk based effort using OLSR, called
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://oslo.freifunk.net/index.php?title=Main_Page&quot;&gt;the Oslo
+Freifunk project&lt;/a&gt;, but that effort is now dead and the people
+behind it have moved on to a batman-adv based system called
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://meshfx.org/trac&quot;&gt;meshfx&lt;/a&gt;.  Unfortunately the wiki
+site for the Oslo Freifunk project is no longer possible to update to
+reflect this fact, so the old project page can&#39;t be updated to point to
+the new project.  A while back, the people at Hackeriet invited people
+from the Freifunk community to Oslo to talk about mesh networks.  I
+came across this video where Hans Jørgen Lysglimt interview the
+speakers about this talk (from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Kd7CLkhSY&quot;&gt;youtube&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/N2Kd7CLkhSY&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I mentioned OLSR and batman-adv, which are mesh routing protocols.
+There are heaps of different protocols, and I am still struggling to
+figure out which one would be &quot;best&quot; for some definitions of best, but
+given that the community mesh group in Oslo is so small, I believe it
+is best to hook up with the existing one instead of trying to create a
+completely different setup, and thus I have decided to focus on
+batman-adv for now.  It sure help me to  know that the very cool
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.servalproject.org/&quot;&gt;Serval project in Australia&lt;/a&gt;
+is using batman-adv as their meshing technology when it create a self
+organizing and self healing telephony system for disaster areas and
+less industrialized communities.  Check out this cool video presenting
+that project (from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30qNfzJCQOA&quot;&gt;youtube&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/30qNfzJCQOA&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;According to the wikipedia page on
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network&quot;&gt;Wireless
+mesh network&lt;/a&gt; there are around 70 competing schemes for routing
+packets across mesh networks, and OLSR, B.A.T.M.A.N. and
+B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced are protocols used by several free software
+based community mesh networks.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The batman-adv protocol is a bit special, as it provide layer 2
+(as in ethernet ) routing, allowing ipv4 and ipv6 to work on the same
+network.  One way to think about it is that it provide a mesh based
+vlan you can bridge to or handle like any other vlan connected to your
+computer.  The required drivers are already in the Linux kernel at
+least since Debian Wheezy, and it is fairly easy to set up.  A
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide&quot;&gt;good
+introduction&lt;/a&gt; is available from the Open Mesh project.  These are
+the key settings needed to join the Oslo meshfx network:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;table&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Setting&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Value&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Protocol / kernel module&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;batman-adv&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;ESSID&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;meshfx@hackeriet&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;td&gt;Channel / Frequency&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;11 / 2462&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;td&gt;Cell ID&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;02:BA:00:00:00:01&lt;/td&gt;
+&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The reason for setting ad-hoc wifi Cell ID is to work around bugs
+in firmware used in wifi card and wifi drivers.  (See a nice post from
+VillageTelco about
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tiebing.blogspot.no/2009/12/ad-hoc-cell-splitting-re-post-original.html&quot;&gt;Information
+about cell-id splitting, stuck beacons, and failed IBSS merges!&lt;/a&gt;
+for details.)  When these settings are activated and you have some
+other mesh node nearby, your computer will be connected to the mesh
+network and can communicate with any mesh node that is connected to
+any of the nodes in your network of nodes. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My initial plan was to reuse my old Linksys WRT54GL as a mesh node,
+but that seem to be very hard, as I have not been able to locate a
+firmware supporting batman-adv.  If anyone know how to use that old
+wifi access point with batman-adv these days, please let me know.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you find this project interesting and want to join, please join
+us on IRC, either channel
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#oslohackerspace&quot;&gt;#oslohackerspace&lt;/a&gt;
+or &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#nuug&quot;&gt;#nuug&lt;/a&gt; on
+irc.freenode.net.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;While investigating mesh networks in Oslo, I came across an old
+research paper from the university of Stavanger and Telenor Research
+and Innovation called
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://folk.uio.no/paalee/publications/netrel-egeland-iswcs-2008.pdf&quot;&gt;The
+reliability of wireless backhaul mesh networks&lt;/a&gt; and elsewhere
+learned that Telenor have been experimenting with mesh networks at
+Grünerløkka in Oslo.  So mesh networks are also interesting for
+commercial companies, even though Telenor discovered that it was hard
+to figure out a good business plan for mesh networking and as far as I
+know have closed down the experiment.  Perhaps Telenor or others would
+be interested in a cooperation?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2013-10-12&lt;/strong&gt;: I was just
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2013-October/005900.html&quot;&gt;told
+by the Serval project developers&lt;/a&gt; that they no longer use
+batman-adv (but are compatible with it), but their own crypto based
+mesh system.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_thinkpad_x230&quot;&gt;Thinkpad X230&lt;/a&gt;
-with SSD disk (NZDAJMN).  I first test installed Debian Edu Wheezy as
-a roaming workstation, and it seemed to work flawlessly.  But my
-second installation with encrypted disk was not as successful.  More
-on that below.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most
-important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never
-listed in the feature list.  But I did get good help from the search
-feature at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prisjakt.no/&quot;&gt;Prisjakt&lt;/a&gt;, which
-allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other
-requirements.  A bit surprising that SSD disk are not disks according
-to that search interface, so I had to drop specifying the number of
-disks from my search parameters.  I also asked around among friends to
-get their impression on keyboards and robustness.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So the new laptop arrived, and it is quite a lot wider than the
-X41.  I am not quite convinced about the keyboard, as it is
-significantly wider than my old keyboard, and I have to stretch my
-hand a lot more to reach the edges.  But the key response is fairly
-good and the individual key shape is fairly easy to handle, so I hope
-I will get used to it.  My old X40 was starting to fail, and I really
-needed a new laptop now. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Turning off the touch pad was simple.  All it took was a quick
-visit to the BIOS during boot it disable it.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But there is a fatal problem with the laptop.  The 180 GB SSD disk
-lock up during load.  And this happen when installing Debian Wheezy
-with encrypted disk, while the disk is being filled with random data.
-I also tested to install Ubuntu Raring, and it happen there too if I
-reenable the code to fill the disk with random data (it is disabled by
-default in Ubuntu).  And the bug with is already known.  It was
-reported to Debian as &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/691427&quot;&gt;BTS
-report #691427 2012-10-25&lt;/a&gt; (journal commit I/O error on brand-new
-Thinkpad T430s ext4 on lvm on SSD).  It is also reported to the Linux
-kernel developers as
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51861&quot;&gt;Kernel bugzilla
-report #51861 2012-12-20&lt;/a&gt; (Intel SSD 520 stops working under load
-(SSDSC2BW180A3L in Lenovo ThinkPad T430s)). It is also reported on the
-Lenovo forums, both for
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-Intel-SSD-520-180GB-issue/m-p/1070549&quot;&gt;T430
-2012-11-10&lt;/a&gt; and for
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x230-SATA-errors-with-180GB-Intel-520-SSD-under-heavy-write-load/m-p/1068147&quot;&gt;X230
-03-20-2013&lt;/a&gt;.  The problem do not only affect installation.  The
-reports state that the disk lock up during use if many writes are done
-on the disk, so it is much no use to work around the installation
-problem and end up with a computer that can lock up at any moment.
-There is even a
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://git.efficios.com/?p=test-ssd.git&quot;&gt;small C program
-available&lt;/a&gt; that will lock up the hard drive after running a few
-minutes by writing to a file.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve contacted my supplier and asked how to handle this, and after
-contacting PCHELP Norway (request 01D1FDP) which handle support
-requests for Lenovo, his first suggestion was to upgrade the disk
-firmware.  Unfortunately there is no newer firmware available from
-Lenovo, as my disk already have the most recent one (version LF1i).  I
-hope to hear more from him today and hope the problem can be
-fixed. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The other day I was pleased and surprised to discover that Marcelo
+Salvador had published a
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-GgpdqgLFc&quot;&gt;video on
+Youtube&lt;/a&gt; showing how to install the standalone Debian Edu /
+Skolelinux profile.  This is the profile intended for use at home or
+on laptops that should not be integrated into the provided network
+services (no central home directory, no Kerberos / LDAP directory etc,
+in other word a single user machine).  The result is 11 minutes long,
+and show some user applications (seem to be rather randomly picked).
+Missed a few of my favorites like celestia, planets and chromium
+showing the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zygotebody.com/&quot;&gt;Zygote Body 3D model
+of the human body&lt;/a&gt;, but I guess he did not know about those or find
+other programs more interesting. :) And the video do not show the
+advantages I believe is one of the most valuable featuers in Debian
+Edu, its central school server making it possible to run hundreds of
+computers without hard drives by installing one central
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ltsp.org/&quot;&gt;LTSP server&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Anyway, check out the video, embedded below and linked to above:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;iframe width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/w-GgpdqgLFc&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Are there other nice videos demonstrating Skolelinux?  Please let
+me know. :)&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Half a year ago, I reported that I had to find a replacement for my
-trusty old Thinkpad X41.  Unfortunately I did not have much time to
-spend on it, but today the replacement finally arrived.  I ended up
-picking a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_thinkpad_x230&quot;&gt;Thinkpad
-X230&lt;/a&gt; with SSD disk (NZDAJMN).  I first test installed Debian Edu
-Wheezy as a roaming workstation, and it worked flawlessly.  As I write
-this, it is installing what I hope will be a more final installation,
-with a encrypted hard drive to ensure any dope head stealing it end up
-with an expencive door stop.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most
-important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never
-listed in the feature list.  But I did get good help from the search

-allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other

-
-&lt;p&gt;I look forward to figuring out how to turn off the touch pad.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few hours ago, the announcement for the first stable release of
+Debian Edu Wheezy went out from the Debian publicity team.  The
+complete announcement text can be found at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20130928&quot;&gt;the Debian News
+section&lt;/a&gt;, translated to several languages.  Please check it out.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There is one minor known problem that we will fix very soon.  One
+can not install a amd64 Thin Client Server using PXE, as the /var/
+partition is too small.  A workaround is to extend the partition (use
+lvresize + resize2fs in tty 2 while installing).&lt;/p&gt;
