-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The leaders of the worlds have started to congratulate the
-re-elected Russian head of state, and this causes some criticism.  I
-am though a little fascinated by a comment from USA senator John McCain,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/379339-mccain-rips-trumps-congratulatory-call-to-putin-as-insult-to-russian-people&quot;&gt;sited
-by The Hill and others&lt;/a&gt;:
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;&quot;An American president does not lead the Free World by
-congratulating dictators on winning sham elections.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;While I totally agree with the senator here, the way the quote is
-phrased make me suspect that he is unaware of the simple fact that USA
-have not lead the Free World since at least before its government
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar&quot;&gt;kidnapped a
-completely innocent Canadian citizen in transit on his way home to

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The layered video playout server created by Sveriges Television,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://casparcg.com/&quot;&gt;CasparCG Server&lt;/a&gt;, entered Debian
+today.  This completes many months of work to get the source ready to
+go into Debian.  The first upload to the Debian NEW queue happened a
+month ago, but the work upstream to prepare it for Debian started more
+than two and a half month ago.  So far
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/casparcg-server&quot;&gt;the
+casparcg-server package&lt;/a&gt; is only available for amd64, but I hope
+this can be improved.  The package is in contrib because it depend on
+the &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fdk-aac&quot;&gt;non-free fdk-aac
+library&lt;/a&gt;.  The Debian package lack support for streaming web pages
+because Debian is missing CEF, Chromium Embedded Framework.  CEF is
+wanted by several packages in Debian.  But because the Chromium source
+is &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/893448&quot;&gt;not available as a build
+dependency&lt;/a&gt;, it is not yet possible to upload CEF to Debian.  I
+hope this will change in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The reason I got involved is that
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;the Norwegian open channel
+Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt; is starting to use CasparCG for our HD playout, and I
+would like to have all the free software tools we use to run the TV
+channel available as packages from the Debian project.  The last
+remaining piece in the puzzle is Open Broadcast Encoder, but it depend
+on quite a lot of patched libraries which would have to be included in
+Debian first.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Sat, 15 Dec 2018 15:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;A fun way to learn how to program
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.python.org/&quot;&gt;Python&lt;/a&gt; is to follow the
+instructions in the book
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://nostarch.com/programwithminecraft&quot;&gt;Learn to program
+with Minecraft&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, which introduces programming in Python to people
+who like to play with Minecraft.  The book uses a Python library to
+talk to a TCP/IP socket with an API accepting build instructions and
+providing information about the current players in a Minecraft world.
+The TCP/IP API was first created for the Minecraft implementation for
+Raspberry Pi, and has since been ported to some server versions of
+Minecraft.  The book contain recipes for those using Windows, MacOSX
+and Raspian.  But a little known fact is that you can follow the same
+recipes using the free software construction game
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://minetest.net/&quot;&gt;Minetest&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There is &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/sprintingkiwi/pycraft_mod&quot;&gt;a
+Minetest module implementing the same API&lt;/a&gt;, making it possible to
+use the Python programs coded to talk to Minecraft with Minetest too.
+I
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/minetest-mod-pycraft_0.20%2Bgit20180331.0376a0a%2Bdfsg-1.html&quot;&gt;uploaded
+this module&lt;/a&gt; to Debian two weeks ago, and as soon as it clears the
+FTP masters NEW queue, learning to program Python with Minetest on
+Debian will be a simple &#39;apt install&#39; away.  The Debian package is
+maintained as part of the Debian Games team, and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/unfinished/minetest-mod-pycraft&quot;&gt;the
+packaging rules&lt;/a&gt; are currently located under &#39;unfinished&#39; on
+Salsa.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;You will most likely need to install several of the Minetest
+modules in Debian for the examples included with the library to work
+well, as there are several blocks used by the example scripts that are
+provided via modules in Minetest.  Without the required blocks, a
+simple stone block is used instead.  My initial testing with a analog
+clock did not get gold arms as instructed in the python library, but
+instead used stone arms.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I tried to find a way to add the API to the desktop version of
+Minecraft, but were unable to find any working recipes.  The
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.epiphanydigest.com/tag/minecraft-python-api/&quot;&gt;recipes&lt;/a&gt;
+I &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/kbsriram/mcpiapi&quot;&gt;found&lt;/a&gt; are only
+working with a standalone Minecraft server setup.  Are there any
+options to use with the normal desktop version?&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;USA might be running ahead, but the path they are taking is not the
-one taken by any Free World.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Facebooks_ability_to_sell_your_personal_information_is_the_real_Cambridge_Analytica_scandal.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Wed, 21 Mar 2018 16:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;So, Cambridge Analytica is getting some well deserved criticism for
-(mis)using information it got from Facebook about 50 million people,
-mostly in the USA.  What I find a bit surprising, is how little
-criticism Facebook is getting for handing the information over to
-Cambridge Analytica and others in the first place.  And what about the
-people handing their private and personal information to Facebook?
-And last, but not least, what about the government offices who are
-handing information about the visitors of their web pages to Facebook?
-No-one who looked at the terms of use of Facebook should be surprised
-that information about peoples interests, political views, personal
-lifes and whereabouts would be sold by Facebook.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;What I find to be the real scandal is the fact that Facebook is
-selling your personal information, not that one of the buyers used it
-in a way Facebook did not approve when exposed.  It is well known that
-Facebook is selling out their users privacy, but a scandal
-nevertheless.  Of course the information provided to them by Facebook
-would be misused by one of the parties given access to personal
-information about the millions of Facebook users.  Collected
-information will be misused sooner or later.  The only way to avoid
-such misuse, is to not collect the information in the first place.  If
-you do not want Facebook to hand out information about yourself for
-the use and misuse of its customers, do not give Facebook the
-information.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Personally, I would recommend to completely remove your Facebook
-account, and take back some control of your personal information.
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/19/how-to-protect-your-facebook-privacy-or-delete-yourself-completely&quot;&gt;According
-to The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;, it is a bit hard to find out how to request
-account removal (and not just &#39;disabling&#39;).  You need to
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content&quot;&gt;visit
-a specific Facebook page&lt;/a&gt; and click on &#39;let us know&#39; on that page
-to get to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account&quot;&gt;the
-real account deletion screen&lt;/a&gt;.  Perhaps something to consider?  I
-would not trust the information to really be deleted (who knows,
-perhaps NSA, GCHQ and FRA already got a copy), but it might reduce the
-exposure a bit.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to learn more about the capabilities of Cambridge
-Analytica, I recommend to see the video recording of the one hour talk
-Paul-Olivier Dehaye gave to &lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt; last april about
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20170404-big-data-psychometric/&quot;&gt;
-Data collection, psychometric profiling and their impact on
-politics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;And if you want to communicate with your friends and loved ones,
-use some end-to-end encrypted method like
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.signal.org/&quot;&gt;Signal&lt;/a&gt; or
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://ring.cx/&quot;&gt;Ring&lt;/a&gt;, and stop sharing your private
-messages with strangers like Facebook and Google.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Wed, 12 Dec 2018 07:20:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few hours ago, a new and improved version (2.4) of
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent&quot;&gt;the VLC
+bittorrent plugin&lt;/a&gt; was uploaded to Debian.  This new version
+include a complete rewrite of the bittorrent related code, which seem
+to make the plugin non-blocking.  This mean you can actually exit VLC
+even when the plugin seem to be unable to get the bittorrent streaming
+started.  The new version also include support for filtering playlist
+by file extension using command line options, if you want to avoid
+processing audio, video or images.  The package is currently in Debian
+unstable, but should be available in Debian testing in two days.  To
+test it, simply install it like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+apt install vlc-plugin-bittorrent
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;After it is installed, you can try to use it to play a file
+downloaded live via bittorrent like this:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+vlc https://archive.org/download/Glass_201703/Glass_201703_archive.torrent

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I går kom det nok et argument for å holde seg unna det norske
-helsevesenet.  Da annonserte et stortingsflertall, bestående av Høyre,
-Arbeiderpartiet, Fremskrittspartiet og Venstre, at de går inn for å
-samle inn og lagre DNA-prøver fra hele befolkningen i Norge til evig
-tid.  Endringen gjelder innsamlede blodprøver fra nyfødte i Norge.
-Det vil dermed ta litt tid før en har hele befolkningen, men det er
-dit vi havner gitt nok tid.  I dag er det nesten hundre prosent
-oppslutning om undersøkelsen som gjøres like etter fødselen, på
-bakgrunn av blodprøven det er snakk om å lagre, for å oppdage endel
-medfødte sykdommer.  Blodprøven lagres i dag i inntil seks år.
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Publikasjoner/Innstillinger/Stortinget/2017-2018/inns-201718-182l/?all=true&quot;&gt;Stortingets
-flertallsinnstilling&lt;/a&gt; er at tidsbegrensingen skal fjernes, og mener
-at tidsubegrenset lagring ikke vil påvirke oppslutningen om
-undersøkelsen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Datatilsynet har ikke akkurat applaudert forslaget:&lt;/p&gt;
+               <title>Retten til kontant betaling er en rettighet som må brukes for å beholdes</title>
+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Retten_til_kontant_betaling_er_en_rettighet_som_m__brukes_for___beholdes.html</link>

+                <pubDate>Tue, 11 Dec 2018 10:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fn.no/Om-FN/Avtaler/Menneskerettigheter/FNs-verdenserklaering-om-menneskerettigheter&quot;&gt;FNs
+menneskerettighetserklæring&lt;/a&gt; artikkel 13 første punkt lyder som
+følger:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

-
-  &lt;p&gt;«Datatilsynet mener forslaget ikke i tilstrekkelig grad
-  synliggjør hvilke etiske og personvernmessige utfordringer som må
-  diskuteres før en etablerer en nasjonal biobank med blodprøver fra
-  hele befolkningen.»&lt;/p&gt;
-  
+Enhver har rett til å bevege seg fritt og til fritt å velge
+oppholdssted innenfor en stats grenser.

 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Det er flere historier om hvordan innsamlet biologisk materiale har
-blitt brukt til andre formål enn de ble innsamlet til, og historien om
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/Ql0WR/Na-ma-Folkehelsa-slette-uskyldiges-DNA-info&quot;&gt;folkehelseinstituttets
-lagring på vegne av politiet (Kripos) av innsamlet biologisk materiale
-og DNA-informasjon i strid med loven&lt;/a&gt; viser at en ikke kan være
-trygg på at lover og intensjoner beskytter de som blir berørt mot
-misbruk av slik privat og personlig informasjon.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er verdt å merke seg at det kan forskes på de innsamlede
-blodprøvene uten samtykke fra den det gjelder (eller foreldre når det
-gjelder barn), etter en lovendring for en stund tilbake, med mindre
-det er sendt inn skjema der en reserverer seg mot forskning uten
-samtykke.  Skjemaet er tilgjengelig fra
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fhi.no/arkiv/publikasjoner/for-pasienter-skjema-for-reservasjo/&quot;&gt;folkehelseinstituttets
-websider&lt;/a&gt;, og jeg anbefaler, uavhengig av denne saken, varmt alle å
-sende inn skjemaet for å dokumentere hvor mange som ikke synes det er
-greit å fjerne krav om samtykke.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I tillegg bør en kreve destruering av alt biologisk materiale som
-er samlet inn om en selv, for å redusere eventuelle negative
-konsekvenser i fremtiden når materialet kommer på avveie eller blir
-brukt uten samtykke, men det er så vidt jeg vet ikke noe system for
-dette i dag.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Det er altså en menneskerett å kunne bevege seg fritt i landet.
+For å bevege seg fritt i landet, så må en kunne bevege seg uten å bli
+sporet.  Det vil i dagens samfunn innebære å bevege seg uten å legge
+igjen digitale spor og uten å være radiomerket.  Hvis en vet at ens
+bevegelser, hvor en befinner seg når, og hvem som befinner seg i
+nærheten, blir samlet inn og gjort tilgjengelig for fremmede, det være
+seg myndighetene eller private organisasjoner, så kan en ikke lenger
+bevege seg fritt.  Dette gjør at det er en forutsetning for å ha glede
+av retten til å bevege seg fritt i landet at en motstår fristelsen til
+å legge igjen digitale spor når en betaler for seg.  Rettigheter som
+ikke blir brukt, blir fjernet.  Den eneste måten i dag å unngå å legge
+igjen digitale spor når en betaler for seg, er å betale med kontanter,
+samt takke nei til å legge igjen navn og adresse (slik f.eks. Elkjøp
+ber om &amp;mdash; jeg sier de kan legge inn «anonym anonym» når
+datasystemet deres trenger et navn).  Personlig anbefaler jeg å
+konsekvent bruke kontant betaling når man beveger seg rundt, for å
+bidra til forsvaret av menneskerettighetene i Norge.  Kanskje noe også
+for deg?  Merk at det ikke er tilstrekkelig for å unngå sporing å
+betale med kontanter, men det er et lite steg i riktig retning.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Det er flere andre argumenter i tillegg til
+menneskerettighetsargumentet for å bruke kontanter.  I går hadde
+Dagbladet en utmerket kommentar av sin journalist John Olav Egeland om
+hvilket
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/kontantlost-diktatur/70543434&quot;&gt;kontantløst
+diktatur&lt;/a&gt; som venter oss hvis mange nok slutter å insistere på å
+betale med kontanter.  Jeg anbefaler deg å lese den.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I am working on publishing yet another book related to Creative
-Commons.  This time it is a book filled with interviews and histories
-from those around the globe making a living using Creative
-Commons.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, after many months of hard work by several volunteer
-translators, the first draft of a Norwegian Bokmål edition of the book
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://madewith.cc&quot;&gt;Made with Creative Commons from 2017&lt;/a&gt;
-was complete.  The Spanish translation is also complete, while the
-Dutch, Polish, German and Ukraine edition need a lot of work.  Get in
-touch if you want to help make those happen, or would like to
-translate into your mother tongue.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The whole book project started when
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://gwolf.org/node/4102&quot;&gt;Gunnar Wolf announced&lt;/a&gt; that he
-was going to make a Spanish edition of the book.  I noticed, and
-offered some input on how to make a book, based on my experience with
-translating the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html&quot;&gt;Free
-Culture&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/get/#norwegian&quot;&gt;The Debian
-Administrator&#39;s Handbook&lt;/a&gt; books to Norwegian Bokmål.  To make a
-long story short, we ended up working on a Bokmål edition, and now the
-first rough translation is complete, thanks to the hard work of
-Ole-Erik Yrvin, Ingrid Yrvin, Allan Nordhøy and myself.  The first
-proof reading is almost done, and only the second and third proof
-reading remains.  We will also need to translate the 14 figures and
-create a book cover.  Once it is done we will publish the book on
-paper, as well as in PDF, ePub and possibly Mobi formats.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The book itself originates as a manuscript on Google Docs, is
-downloaded as ODT from there and converted to Markdown using pandoc.
-The Markdown is modified by a script before is converted to DocBook
-using pandoc.  The DocBook is modified again using a script before it
-is used to create a Gettext POT file for translators.  The translated
-PO file is then combined with the earlier mentioned DocBook file to
-create a translated DocBook file, which finally is given to dblatex to
-create the final PDF.  The end result is a set of editions of the
-manuscript, one English and one for each of the translations.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The translation is conducted using
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/madewithcc/translation/&quot;&gt;the
-Weblate web based translation system&lt;/a&gt;.  Please have a look there
-and get in touch if you would like to help out with proof
-reading. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, I had the pleasure of watching on Frikanalen the OWASP
+talk by Scott Helme titled
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://frikanalen.no/video/626080/&quot;&gt;What We’ve Learned From
+Billions of Security Reports&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.  I had not heard of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Security_Policy&quot;&gt;Content
+Security Policy standard&lt;/a&gt; nor its ability to &quot;call home&quot; when a
+browser detect a policy breach (I do not follow web page design
+development much these days), and found the talk very illuminating.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The mechanism allow a web site owner to use HTTP headers to tell
+visitors web browser which sources (internal and external) are allowed to
+be used on the web site.  Thus it become possible to enforce a &quot;only
+local content&quot; policy despite web designers urge to fetch programs
+from random sites on the Internet, like the one
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/68966/hacking/browsealoud-plugin-hack.html&quot;&gt;enabling
+the attack&lt;/a&gt; reported by Scott Helme earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Using CSP seem like an obvious thing for a site admin to implement
+to take some control over the information leak that occur when
+external sources are used to render web pages, it is a mystery more
+sites are not using CSP?  It is being
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.w3.org/TR/CSP/&quot;&gt;standardized under W3C&lt;/a&gt; these
+days, and is supposed by most web browsers&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I managed to find &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mozilla/django-csp&quot;&gt;a
+Django middleware for implementing CSP&lt;/a&gt; and was happy to discover
+it was already in Debian.  I plan to use it to add CSP support to the
+Frikanalen web site soon.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I was pleasantly surprised to discover my operating system of
-choice, Debian, was used in the info screens on the subway stations.
-While passing Nydalen subway station in Oslo, Norway, I discovered the
-info screen booting with some text scrolling.  I was not quick enough
-with my camera to be able to record a video of the scrolling boot
-screen, but I did get a photo from when the boot got stuck with a
-corrupt file system:
-
-&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2018-03-02-ruter-debian-lenny.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;center&quot; width=&quot;40%&quot; src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2018-03-02-ruter-debian-lenny.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;[photo of subway info screen]&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;While I am happy to see Debian used more places, some details of the
-content on the screen worries me.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The image show the version booting is &#39;Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid&#39;,
-indicating that this is based on code taken from Debian Unstable/Sid
-after Debian Etch (version 4) was released 2007-04-08 and before
-Debian Lenny (version 5) was released 2009-02-14.  Since Lenny Debian
-has released version 6 (Squeeze) 2011-02-06, 7 (Wheezy) 2013-05-04, 8
-(Jessie) 2015-04-25 and 9 (Stretch) 2017-06-15, according to
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history&quot;&gt;a Debian
-version history on Wikpedia&lt;/a&gt;.  This mean the system is running
-around 10 year old code, with no security fixes from the vendor for
-many years.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is not the first time I discover the Oslo subway company,
-Ruter, running outdated software.  In 2012,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Er_billettautomatene_til_kollektivtrafikken_i_Oslo_uten_sikkerhetsoppdateringer_.html&quot;&gt;I
-discovered the ticket vending machines were running Windows 2000&lt;/a&gt;,
-and this was
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fortsatt_ingen_sikkerhetsoppdateringer_for_billettautomatene_til_kollektivtrafikken_i_Oslo_.html&quot;&gt;still
-the case in 2016&lt;/a&gt;.  Given the response from the responsible people
-in 2016, I would assume the machines are still running unpatched
-Windows 2000.  Thus, an unpatched Debian setup come as no surprise.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;If you read my blog regularly, you probably know I am involved in
+running and developing the &lt;a href=&quot;https://frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Norwegian
+TV channel Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;.  It is an open channel, allowing everyone
+in Norway to publish videos on a TV channel with national coverage.
+You can think of it as Youtube for national television.
+In addition to distribution on RiksTV and Uninett, Frikanalen is also
+available as a Kodi addon.  The last few days I have updated the code
+to add more features.  A
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://kodi.tv/addon/plugins-video-add-ons/frikanalen-nett-tv&quot;&gt;new
+and improved version 0.0.3 Frikanalen addon&lt;/a&gt; was just made
+available via the Kodi repositories.  This new version include a
+option to browse videos by category, as well as free text search
+in the video archive.  It will now also show the video duration in the
+video lists, which were missing earlier.  A new and experimental
+link to the HD video stream currently being worked on is provided, for
+those that want to see what the &lt;a href=&quot;https://casparcg.com/&quot;&gt;CasparCG&lt;/a&gt;
+output look like.  The alternative is the SD video stream, generated
+using MLT.  CasparCG is controlled by our
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Frikanalen/mltplayout/&quot;&gt;mltplayout
+server&lt;/a&gt; which instead of talking to mlt is giving PLAY instructions
+to the CasparCG server when it is time to start a new program.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;By now, you are probably wondering what kind of content is being
+played on the channel.  These days, it is filled with technical
+presentations like those from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debconf.org/&quot;&gt;Debconf&lt;/a&gt;, Makercon, and TED,
+but there are also some periods with
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.empo.no/&quot;&gt;EMPT TV&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.p7.no/&quot;&gt;P7&lt;/a&gt;.

-traditional Sys V init system, and there probably will be until
-systemd start working on Hurd and FreeBSD.
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit&quot;&gt;The upstream
-project still exist&lt;/a&gt;, though, and up until today, the upstream
-source was available from Savannah via subversion.  I am happy to
-report that this just changed.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The upstream source is now in Git, and consist of three
-repositories:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/sysvinit.git&quot;&gt;sysvinit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I do not really spend much time on the project these days, and I
-has mostly retired, but found it best to migrate the source to a good
-version control system to help those willing to move it forward.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;As part of my involvement in
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core&quot;&gt;the Nikita
+archive API project&lt;/a&gt;, I&#39;ve been importing a fairly large lump of
+emails into a test instance of the archive to see how well this would
+go.  I picked a subset of &lt;a href=&quot;https://notmuchmail.org/&quot;&gt;my
+notmuch email database&lt;/a&gt;, all public emails sent to me via
+@lists.debian.org, giving me a set of around 216 000 emails to import.
+In the process, I had a look at the various attachments included in
+these emails, to figure out what to do with attachments, and noticed
+that one of the most common attachment formats do not have
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml&quot;&gt;an
+official MIME type&lt;/a&gt; registered with IANA/IETF.  The output from
+diff, ie the input for patch, is on the top 10 list of formats
+included in these emails.  At the moment people seem to use either
+text/x-patch or text/x-diff, but neither is officially registered.  It
+would be better if one official MIME type were registered and used
+everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To try to get one official MIME type for these files, I&#39;ve brought
+up the topic on
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/media-types&quot;&gt;the

+making software using a MIME type for patches, perhaps you would like
+to join the discussion?&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, a new major version of
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.videolan.org/&quot;&gt;VLC&lt;/a&gt; was announced, and I
-decided to check out if it now supported streaming over
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bittorrent.org/&quot;&gt;bittorrent&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://webtorrent.io&quot;&gt;webtorrent&lt;/a&gt;.  Bittorrent is one of
-the most efficient ways to distribute large files on the Internet, and
-Webtorrent is a variant of Bittorrent using
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://webrtc.org&quot;&gt;WebRTC&lt;/a&gt; as its transport channel,
-allowing web pages to stream and share files using the same technique.
-The network protocols are similar but not identical, so a client
-supporting one of them can not talk to a client supporting the other.
-I was a bit surprised with what I discovered when I started to look.
-Looking at
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.videolan.org/vlc/releases/3.0.0.html&quot;&gt;the release
-notes&lt;/a&gt; did not help answering this question, so I started searching
-the web.  I found several news articles from 2013, most of them
-tracing the news from Torrentfreak
-(&quot;&lt;a href=https://torrentfreak.com/open-source-giant-vlc-mulls-bittorrent-support-130211/&quot;&gt;Open
-Source Giant VLC Mulls BitTorrent Streaming Support&lt;/a&gt;&quot;), about a
-initiative to pay someone to create a VLC patch for bittorrent
-support.  To figure out what happend with this initiative, I headed
-over to the #videolan IRC channel and asked if there were some bug or
-feature request tickets tracking such feature.  I got an answer from
-lead developer Jean-Babtiste Kempf, telling me that there was a patch
-but neither he nor anyone else knew where it was.  So I searched a bit
-more, and came across an independent
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/johang/vlc-bittorrent&quot;&gt;VLC plugin to add
-bittorrent support&lt;/a&gt;, created by Johan Gunnarsson in 2016/2017.
-Again according to Jean-Babtiste, this is not the patch he was talking
-about.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Anyway, to test the plugin, I made a working Debian package from
-the git repository, with some modifications.  After installing this
-package, I could stream videos from
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.archive.org/&quot;&gt;The Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt; using VLC
-commands like this:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-vlc https://archive.org/download/LoveNest/LoveNest_archive.torrent
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The plugin is supposed to handle magnet links too, but since The
-Internet Archive do not have magnet links and I did not want to spend
-time tracking down another source, I have not tested it.  It can take
-quite a while before the video start playing without any indication of
-what is going on from VLC.  It took 10-20 seconds when I measured it.
-Some times the plugin seem unable to find the correct video file to
-play, and show the metadata XML file name in the VLC status line.  I
-have no idea why.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I have created a &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/890360&quot;&gt;request for
-a new package in Debian (RFP)&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/johang/vlc-bittorrent/issues/1&quot;&gt;asked if
-the upstream author is willing to help make this happen&lt;/a&gt;.  Now we
-wait to see what come out of this.  I do not want to maintain a
-package that is not maintained upstream, nor do I really have time to
-maintain more packages myself, so I might leave it at this.  But I
-really hope someone step up to do the packaging, and hope upstream is
-still maintaining the source.  If you want to help, please update the
-RFP request or the upstream issue.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I have not found any traces of webtorrent support for VLC.&lt;/p&gt;

+
+&lt;p&gt;My current home stereo is a patchwork of various pieces I got on
+flee markeds over the years.  It is amazing what kind of equipment
+show up there.  I&#39;ve been wondering for a while if it was possible to
+measure how well this equipment is working together, and decided to
+see how far I could get using free software.  After trawling the web I
+came across an article from DIY Audio and Video on
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/Tutorial/SpeakerResponseTesting/&quot;&gt;Speaker
+Testing and Analysis&lt;/a&gt; describing how to test speakers, and it listing
+several software options, among them
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/projects/audmes/&quot;&gt;AUDio MEasurement
+System (AUDMES)&lt;/a&gt;.  It is the only free software system I could find
+focusing on measuring speakers and audio frequency response.  In the
+process I also found an interesting article from NOVO on
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://novo.press/understanding-speaker-specifications-and-frequency-response/&quot;&gt;Understanding
+Speaker Specifications and Frequency Response&lt;/a&gt; and an article from
+ecoustics on
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ecoustics.com/articles/understanding-speaker-frequency-response/&quot;&gt;Understanding
+Speaker Frequency Response&lt;/a&gt;, with a lot of information on what to
+look for and how to interpret the graphs.  Armed with this knowledge,
+I set out to measure the state of my speakers.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The first hurdle was that AUDMES hadn&#39;t seen a commit for 10 years
+and did not build with current compilers and libraries.  I got in
+touch with its author, who no longer was spending time on the program
+but gave me write access to the subversion repository on Sourceforge.
+The end result is that now the code build on Linux and is capable of
+saving and loading the collected frequency response data in CSV
+format.  The application is quite nice and flexible, and I was able to
+select the input and output audio interfaces independently.  This made
+it possible to use a USB mixer as the input source, while sending
+output via my laptop headphone connection.  I lacked the hardware and
+cabling to figure out a different way to get independent cabling to
+speakers and microphone.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Using this setup I could see how a large range of high frequencies
+apparently were not making it out of my speakers.  The picture show
+the frequency response measurement of one of the speakers.  Note the
+frequency lines seem to be slightly misaligned, compared to the CSV
+output from the program.  I can not hear several of these are high
+frequencies, according to measurement from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://freehearingtestsoftware.com&quot;&gt;Free Hearing Test
+Software&lt;/a&gt;, an freeware system to measure your hearing (still
+looking for a free software alternative), so I do not know if they are
+coming out out the speakers.  I thus do not quite know how to figure
+out if the missing frequencies is a problem with the microphone, the
+amplifier or the speakers, but I managed to rule out the audio card in my
+PC by measuring my Bose noise canceling headset using its own
+microphone.  This setup was able to see the high frequency tones, so
+the problem with my stereo had to be in the amplifier or speakers.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Anyway, to try to role out one factor I ended up picking up a new
+set of speakers at a flee marked, and these work a lot better than the
+old speakers, so I guess the microphone and amplifier is OK.  If you
+need to measure your own speakers, check out AUDMES.  If more people
+get involved, perhaps the project could become good enough to
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/910876&quot;&gt;include in Debian&lt;/a&gt;?  And if
+you know of some other free software to measure speakers and amplifier
+performance, please let me know.  I am aware of the freeware option
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.roomeqwizard.com/&quot;&gt;REW&lt;/a&gt;, but I want something
+that can be developed also when the vendor looses interest.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Bittorrent is as far as I know, currently the most efficient way to
+distribute content on the Internet.  It is used all by all sorts of
+content providers, from national TV stations like
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nrk.no/&quot;&gt;NRK&lt;/a&gt;, Linux distributors like
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ubuntu.com/&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;, and of course the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/&quot;&gt;Internet archive&lt;/A&gt;.
+
+&lt;p&gt;Almost a month ago
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent&quot;&gt;a new
+package adding Bittorrent support to VLC&lt;/a&gt; became available in
+Debian testing and unstable.  To test it, simply install it like
+this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+apt install vlc-plugin-bittorrent
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Since the plugin was made available for the first time in Debian,
+several improvements have been made to it.  In version 2.2-4, now
+available in both testing and unstable, a desktop file is provided to
+teach browsers to start VLC when the user click on torrent files or
+magnet links.  The last part is thanks to me finally understanding
+what the strange x-scheme-handler style MIME types in desktop files
+are used for.  By adding x-scheme-handler/magnet to the MimeType entry
+in the desktop file, at least the browsers Firefox and Chromium will
+suggest to start VLC when selecting a magnet URI on a web page.  The
+end result is that now, with the plugin installed in Buster and Sid,
+one can visit any
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/CopyingIsNotTheft1080p&quot;&gt;Internet
+Archive page with movies&lt;/a&gt; using a web browser and click on the
+torrent link to start streaming the movie.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Note, there is still some misfeatures in the plugin.  One is the
+fact that it will hang and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/johang/vlc-bittorrent/issues/13&quot;&gt;block VLC
+from exiting until the torrent streaming starts&lt;/a&gt;.  Another is the
+fact that it
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/johang/vlc-bittorrent/issues/9&quot;&gt;will pick
+and play a random file in a multi file torrent&lt;/a&gt;.  This is not
+always the video file you want.  Combined with the first it can be a
+bit hard to get the video streaming going.  But when it work, it seem
+to do a good job.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For the Debian packaging, I would love to find a good way to test
+if the plugin work with VLC using autopkgtest.  I tried, but do not
+know enough of the inner workings of VLC to get it working.  For now
+the autopkgtest script is only checking if the .so file was
+successfully loaded by VLC.  If you have any suggestions, please
+submit a patch to the Debian bug tracking system.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;«I den sørvestlige byen Kashgar nærmere grensa til
-Sentral-Asia meldes det nå at 120.000 uigurer er internert i såkalte
-omskoleringsleirer. Samtidig er det innført et omfattende
-helsesjekk-program med innsamling og lagring av DNA-prøver fra
-absolutt alle innbyggerne. De mest avanserte overvåkingsmetodene
-testes ut her. Programmer for å gjenkjenne ansikter og stemmer er på
-plass i regionen. Der har de lokale myndighetene begynt å installere
-GPS-systemer i alle kjøretøy og egne sporingsapper i

-
-&lt;p&gt;I Norge har jo situasjonen rundt Folkehelseinstituttets lagring av
-DNA-informasjon på vegne av politiet, der de nektet å slette
-informasjon politiet ikke hadde lov til å ta vare på, gjort det klart
-at DNA tar vare på ganske lenge.  I tillegg finnes det utallige
-biobanker som lagres til evig tid, og det er planer om å innføre
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/75E9/4-av-10-mener-staten-bor-lagre-DNA-profiler-pa-alle-nyfodte&quot;&gt;evig
-lagring av DNA-materiale fra alle spebarn som fødes&lt;/a&gt; (med mulighet
-for å be om sletting).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I Norge er det system på plass for ansiktsgjenkjenning, som
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nrk.no/norge/kun-gardermoen-har-teknologi-for-ansiktsgjenkjenning-i-norge-1.12719461&quot;&gt;en

-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/inntil-27-000-bor-i-norge-under-falsk-id/60500781&quot;&gt;brukes
-til å analysere bilder innsamlet av myndighetene&lt;/a&gt;.  Brukes det også
-flere plasser?  Det er tett med overvåkningskamera kontrollert av
-politi og andre myndigheter i for eksempel Oslo sentrum.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg er ikke kjent med at Norge har noe system for identifisering av
-personer ved hjelp av stemmegjenkjenning.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Posisjons-sporing av mobiltelefoner er ruinemessig tilgjengelig for
-blant annet politi, NAV og Finanstilsynet, i tråd med krav i
-telefonselskapenes konsesjon.  I tillegg rapporterer smarttelefoner
-sin posisjon til utviklerne av utallige mobil-apper, der myndigheter
-og andre kan hente ut informasjon ved behov.  Det er intet behov for
-noen egen app for dette.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Posisjons-sporing av biler er rutinemessig tilgjengelig via et tett
-nett av målepunkter på veiene (automatiske bomstasjoner,
-køfribrikke-registrering, automatiske fartsmålere og andre veikamera).
-Det er i tillegg vedtatt at alle nye biler skal selges med utstyr for
-GPS-sporing (eCall).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er jammen godt vi lever i et liberalt demokrati, og ikke en
-overvåkningsstat, eller?&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The changes and improvements are extensive.  Running diffstat on
+the changes between git tab 0.1.1 and 0.2 show 1098 files changed,

-&lt;p&gt;We write 2018, and it is 30 years since Unicode was introduced.
-Most of us in Norway have come to expect the use of our alphabet to
-just work with any computer system.  But it is apparently beyond reach
-of the computers printing recites at a restaurant.  Recently I visited
-a Peppes pizza resturant, and noticed a few details on the recite.
-Notice how &#39;ø&#39; and &#39;å&#39; are replaced with strange symbols in
-&#39;Servitør&#39;, &#39;Å BETALE&#39;, &#39;Beløp pr. gjest&#39;, &#39;Takk for besøket.&#39; and &#39;Vi
