- <div class="date">27th April 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>I disse dager, med frist 1. mai, har Riksarkivaren ute en høring på
-sin forskrift. Som en kan se er det ikke mye tid igjen før fristen
-som går ut på søndag. Denne forskriften er det som lister opp hvilke
-formater det er greit å arkivere i
-<a href="http://www.arkivverket.no/arkivverket/Offentleg-forvalting/Noark/Noark-5">Noark
-5-løsninger</a> i Norge.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg fant høringsdokumentene hos
-<a href="https://www.arkivrad.no/aktuelt/riksarkivarens-forskrift-pa-horing">Norsk
-Arkivråd</a> etter å ha blitt tipset på epostlisten til
-<a href="https://github.com/hiOA-ABI/nikita-noark5-core">fri
-programvareprosjektet Nikita Noark5-Core</a>, som lager et Noark 5
-Tjenestegresesnitt. Jeg er involvert i Nikita-prosjektet og takket
-være min interesse for tjenestegrensesnittsprosjektet har jeg lest en
-god del Noark 5-relaterte dokumenter, og til min overraskelse oppdaget
-at standard epost ikke er på listen over godkjente formater som kan
-arkiveres. Høringen med frist søndag er en glimrende mulighet til å
-forsøke å gjøre noe med det. Jeg holder på med
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/blob/master/docs/hoering-arkivforskrift.tex">egen
-høringsuttalelse</a>, og lurer på om andre er interessert i å støtte
-forslaget om å tillate arkivering av epost som epost i arkivet.</p>
-
-<p>Er du igang med å skrive egen høringsuttalelse allerede? I så fall
-kan du jo vurdere å ta med en formulering om epost-lagring. Jeg tror
-ikke det trengs så mye. Her et kort forslag til tekst:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-
- <p>Viser til høring sendt ut 2017-02-17 (Riksarkivarens referanse
- 2016/9840 HELHJO), og tillater oss å sende inn noen innspill om
- revisjon av Forskrift om utfyllende tekniske og arkivfaglige
- bestemmelser om behandling av offentlige arkiver (Riksarkivarens
- forskrift).</p>
-
- <p>Svært mye av vår kommuikasjon foregår i dag på e-post. Vi
- foreslår derfor at Internett-e-post, slik det er beskrevet i IETF
- RFC 5322,
- <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322">https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322</a>. bør
- inn som godkjent dokumentformat. Vi foreslår at forskriftens
- oversikt over godkjente dokumentformater ved innlevering i § 5-16
- endres til å ta med Internett-e-post.</p>
-
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Som del av arbeidet med tjenestegrensesnitt har vi testet hvordan
-epost kan lagres i en Noark 5-struktur, og holder på å skrive et
-forslag om hvordan dette kan gjøres som vil bli sendt over til
-arkivverket så snart det er ferdig. De som er interesserte kan
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/blob/master/docs/epostlagring.md">følge
-fremdriften på web</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Oppdatering 2017-04-28: I dag ble høringuttalelsen jeg skrev
- <a href="https://www.nuug.no/news/NUUGs_h_ringuttalelse_til_Riksarkivarens_forskrift.shtml">sendt

- <div class="body"><p>Jeg oppdaget i dag at <a href="https://www.oep.no/">nettstedet som
-publiserer offentlige postjournaler fra statlige etater</a>, OEP, har
-begynt å blokkerer enkelte typer webklienter fra å få tilgang. Vet
-ikke hvor mange det gjelder, men det gjelder i hvert fall libwww-perl
-og curl. For å teste selv, kjør følgende:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% curl -v -s https://www.oep.no/pub/report.xhtml?reportId=3 2>&1 |grep '< HTTP'
-< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Her kan en se at tjenesten gir «404 Not Found» for curl i
-standardoppsettet, mens den gir «200 OK» hvis curl hevder å være Opera
-versjon 12.0. Offentlig elektronisk postjournal startet blokkeringen
-2017-03-02.</p>
-
-<p>Blokkeringen vil gjøre det litt vanskeligere å maskinelt hente

-Offentlighetsutvalg gjorde for å dokumentere hvordan departementene

-
-<p>Finnes det juridisk grunnlag for det offentlige å diskriminere

+ <div class="date">26th June 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>My movie playing setup involve <a href="https://kodi.tv/">Kodi</a>,
+<a href="https://openelec.tv">OpenELEC</a> (probably soon to be
+replaced with <a href="https://libreelec.tv/">LibreELEC</a>) and an
+Infocus IN76 video projector. My projector can be controlled via both
+a infrared remote controller, and a RS-232 serial line. The vendor of
+my projector, <a href="https://www.infocus.com/">InFocus</a>, had been
+sensible enough to document the serial protocol in its user manual, so
+it is easily available, and I used it some years ago to write
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/infocus-projector-control">a
+small script to control the projector</a>. For a while now, I longed
+for a setup where the projector was controlled by Kodi, for example in
+such a way that when the screen saver went on, the projector was
+turned off, and when the screen saver exited, the projector was turned
+on again.</p>
+
+<p>A few days ago, with very good help from parts of my family, I
+managed to find a Kodi Add-on for controlling a Epson projector, and
+got in touch with its author to see if we could join forces and make a
+Add-on with support for several projectors. To my pleasure, he was
+positive to the idea, and we set out to add InFocus support to his
+add-on, and make the add-on suitable for the official Kodi add-on
+repository.</p>
+
+<p>The Add-on is now working (for me, at least), with a few minor
+adjustments. The most important change I do relative to the master
+branch in the github repository is embedding the
+<a href="https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial">pyserial module</a> in
+the add-on. The long term solution is to make a "script" type
+pyserial module for Kodi, that can be pulled in as a dependency in
+Kodi. But until that in place, I embed it.</p>
+
+<p>The add-on can be configured to turn on the projector when Kodi
+starts, off when Kodi stops as well as turn the projector off when the
+screensaver start and on when the screesaver stops. It can also be
+told to set the projector source when turning on the projector.
+
+<p>If this sound interesting to you, check out
+<a href="https://github.com/fredrik-eriksson/kodi_projcontrol">the
+project github repository</a>. Perhaps you can send patches to
+support your projector too? As soon as we find time to wrap up the
+latest changes, it should be available for easy installation using any
+Kodi instance.</p>
+
+<p>For future improvements, I would like to add projector model
+detection and the ability to adjust the brightness level of the
+projector from within Kodi. We also need to figure out how to handle
+the cooling period of the projector. My projector refuses to turn on
+for 60 seconds after it was turned off. This is not handled well by
+the add-on at the moment.</p>
+
+<p>As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
+activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address

- <div class="date">19th March 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>The <a href="https://github.com/hiOA-ABI/nikita-noark5-core">Nikita
-Noark 5 core project</a> is implementing the Norwegian standard for
-keeping an electronic archive of government documents.
-<a href="http://www.arkivverket.no/arkivverket/Offentlig-forvaltning/Noark/Noark-5/English-version">The
-Noark 5 standard</a> document the requirement for data systems used by
-the archives in the Norwegian government, and the Noark 5 web interface
-specification document a REST web service for storing, searching and
-retrieving documents and metadata in such archive. I've been involved
-in the project since a few weeks before Christmas, when the Norwegian
-Unix User Group
-<a href="https://www.nuug.no/news/NOARK5_kjerne_som_fri_programvare_f_r_epostliste_hos_NUUG.shtml">announced
-it supported the project</a>. I believe this is an important project,
-and hope it can make it possible for the government archives in the
-future to use free software to keep the archives we citizens depend
-on. But as I do not hold such archive myself, personally my first use
-case is to store and analyse public mail journal metadata published
-from the government. I find it useful to have a clear use case in
-mind when developing, to make sure the system scratches one of my
-itches.</p>
-
-<p>If you would like to help make sure there is a free software
-alternatives for the archives, please join our IRC channel
-(<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23nikita"">#nikita on
-irc.freenode.net</a>) and
-<a href="https://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/nikita-noark">the
-project mailing list</a>.</p>
-
-<p>When I got involved, the web service could store metadata about
-documents. But a few weeks ago, a new milestone was reached when it
-became possible to store full text documents too. Yesterday, I
-completed an implementation of a command line tool
-<tt>archive-pdf</tt> to upload a PDF file to the archive using this
-API. The tool is very simple at the moment, and find existing
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonds">fonds</a>, series and
-files while asking the user to select which one to use if more than
-one exist. Once a file is identified, the PDF is associated with the
-file and uploaded, using the title extracted from the PDF itself. The
-process is fairly similar to visiting the archive, opening a cabinet,
-locating a file and storing a piece of paper in the archive. Here is
-a test run directly after populating the database with test data using
-our API tester:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-~/src//noark5-tester$ ./archive-pdf mangelmelding/mangler.pdf
-using arkiv: Title of the test fonds created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446

-~/src//noark5-tester$
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>You can see here how the fonds (arkiv) and serie (arkivdel) only had
-one option, while the user need to choose which file (mappe) to use
-among the two created by the API tester. The <tt>archive-pdf</tt>
-tool can be found in the git repository for the API tester.</p>
-
-<p>In the project, I have been mostly working on
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester">the API
-tester</a> so far, while getting to know the code base. The API
-tester currently use
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS">the HATEOAS links</a>
-to traverse the entire exposed service API and verify that the exposed
-operations and objects match the specification, as well as trying to
-create objects holding metadata and uploading a simple XML file to
-store. The tester has proved very useful for finding flaws in our
-implementation, as well as flaws in the reference site and the
-specification.</p>
-
-<p>The test document I uploaded is a summary of all the specification
-defects we have collected so far while implementing the web service.
-There are several unclear and conflicting parts of the specification,
-and we have
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/tree/master/mangelmelding">started
-writing down</a> the questions we get from implementing it. We use a
-format inspired by how <a href="http://www.opengroup.org/austin/">The
-Austin Group</a> collect defect reports for the POSIX standard with
-<a href="http://www.opengroup.org/austin/mantis.html">their
-instructions for the MANTIS defect tracker system</a>, in lack of an official way to structure defect reports for Noark 5 (our first submitted defect report was a <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/blob/master/mangelmelding/sendt/2017-03-15-mangel-prosess.md">request for a procedure for submitting defect reports</a> :).
-
-<p>The Nikita project is implemented using Java and Spring, and is
-fairly easy to get up and running using Docker containers for those
-that want to test the current code base. The API tester is
-implemented in Python.</p>

+tid var det rett frem å ta vare på et TV-program en ønsket å kunne se
+senere, uten å være avhengig av at programmet ble sendt på nytt.
+Kanskje ønsket en å se programmet på hytten der det ikke var
+TV-signal, eller av andre grunner ha det tilgjengelig for fremtidig
+fornøyelse. Dette er blitt vanskeligere med introduksjon av
+digital-TV og webstreaming, der opptak til harddisk er utenfor de
+flestes kontroll hvis de bruker ufri programvare og bokser kontrollert
+av andre. Men for NRK her i Norge, finnes det heldigvis flere fri
+programvare-alternativer, som jeg har
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK.html">skrevet</a>
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK_med_den__nye__l_sningen.html">om</a>
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Nedlasting_fra_NRK__som_Matroska_med_undertekster.html">før</a>.
+Så lenge kilden for nedlastingen er lovlig lagt ut på nett (hvilket
+jeg antar NRK gjør), så er slik lagring til privat bruk også lovlig i
+Norge.</p>
+
+<p>Sist jeg så på saken, i 2016, nevnte jeg at
+<a href="https://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/">youtube-dl</a> ikke kunne
+bake undertekster fra NRK inn i videofilene, og at jeg derfor
+foretrakk andre alternativer. Nylig oppdaget jeg at dette har endret
+seg. Fordelen med youtube-dl er at den er tilgjengelig direkte fra
+Linux-distribusjoner som <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>
+og <a href="https://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a>, slik at en slipper å
+finne ut selv hvordan en skal få dem til å virke.</p>
+
+<p>For å laste ned et NRK-innslag med undertekster, og få den norske
+underteksten pakket inn i videofilen, så kan følgende kommando
+brukes:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format ttml \
+ --convert-subtitles srt --embed-subs \
+ https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ramm-ferdig-gaa/MUHU11000316/27-04-2018
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>URL-eksemplet er dagens toppsak på tv.nrk.no. Resultatet er en
+MP4-fil med filmen og undertekster som kan spilles av med VLC. Merk
+at VLC ikke viser frem undertekster før du aktiverer dem. For å gjøre
+det, høyreklikk med musa i fremviservinduet, velg menyvalget for
+undertekst og så norsk språk. Jeg testet også '--write-auto-sub',
+men det kommandolinjeargumentet ser ikke ut til å fungere, så jeg
+endte opp med settet med argumentlisten over, som jeg fant i en
+feilrapport i youtube-dl-prosjektets samling over feilrapporter.</p>
+
+<p>Denne støtten i youtube-dl gjør det svært enkelt å lagre
+NRK-innslag, det være seg nyheter, filmer, serier eller dokumentater,
+for å ha dem tilgjengelig for fremtidig referanse og bruk, uavhengig
+av hvor lenge innslagene ligger tilgjengelig hos NRK. Så får det ikke
+hjelpe at NRKs jurister mener at det er
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Best___ikke_fortelle_noen_at_streaming_er_nedlasting___.html">vesensforskjellig
+å legge tilgjengelig for nedlasting og for streaming</a>, når det rent
+teknisk er samme sak.</p>
+
+<p>Programmet youtube-dl støtter også en rekke andre nettsteder, se
+prosjektoversikten for
+<a href="http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html">en

- <div class="date"> 9th March 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Over the years, administrating thousand of NFS mounting linux
-computers at the time, I often needed a way to detect if the machine
-was experiencing NFS hang. If you try to use <tt>df</tt> or look at a
-file or directory affected by the hang, the process (and possibly the
-shell) will hang too. So you want to be able to detect this without
-risking the detection process getting stuck too. It has not been
-obvious how to do this. When the hang has lasted a while, it is
-possible to find messages like these in dmesg:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-nfs: server nfsserver not responding, still trying
-<br>nfs: server nfsserver OK
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>It is hard to know if the hang is still going on, and it is hard to
-be sure looking in dmesg is going to work. If there are lots of other
-messages in dmesg the lines might have rotated out of site before they
-are noticed.</p>
-
-<p>While reading through the nfs client implementation in linux kernel
-code, I came across some statistics that seem to give a way to detect
-it. The om_timeouts sunrpc value in the kernel will increase every
-time the above log entry is inserted into dmesg. And after digging a
-bit further, I discovered that this value show up in
-/proc/self/mountstats on Linux.</p>
-
-<p>The mountstats content seem to be shared between files using the
-same file system context, so it is enough to check one of the
-mountstats files to get the state of the mount point for the machine.
-I assume this will not show lazy umounted NFS points, nor NFS mount
-points in a different process context (ie with a different filesystem
-view), but that does not worry me.</p>
-
-<p>The content for a NFS mount point look similar to this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>

-<p>The key number to look at is the third number in the per-op list.
-It is the number of NFS timeouts experiences per file system
-operation. Here 22 write timeouts and 5 access timeouts. If these
-numbers are increasing, I believe the machine is experiencing NFS
-hang. Unfortunately the timeout value do not start to increase right
-away. The NFS operations need to time out first, and this can take a
-while. The exact timeout value depend on the setup. For example the
-defaults for TCP and UDP mount points are quite different, and the
-timeout value is affected by the soft, hard, timeo and retrans NFS
-mount options.</p>
-
-<p>The only way I have been able to get working on Debian and RedHat
-Enterprise Linux for getting the timeout count is to peek in /proc/.
-But according to
-<ahref="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-4555/netmonitor-12/index.html">Solaris
-10 System Administration Guide: Network Services</a>, the 'nfsstat -c'
-command can be used to get these timeout values. But this do not work
-on Linux, as far as I can tell. I
-<ahref="http://bugs.debian.org/857043">asked Debian about this</a>,
-but have not seen any replies yet.</p>
-
-<p>Is there a better way to figure out if a Linux NFS client is
-experiencing NFS hangs? Is there a way to detect which processes are
-affected? Is there a way to get the NFS mount going quickly once the
-network problem causing the NFS hang has been cleared? I would very
-much welcome some clues, as we regularly run into NFS hangs.</p>

+melder i dag at flertallet i Familie- og kulturkomiteen på Stortinget
+har bestemt seg for å introdusere en ny sensurinfrastruktur i Norge.
+Fra før har Norge en «frivillig» sensurinfrastruktur basert på
+DNS-navn, der de største ISP-ene basert på en liste med DNS-navn
+forgifter DNS-svar og omdirigerer til et annet IP-nummer enn det som
+ligger i DNS. Nå kommer altså IP-basert omdirigering i tillegg. Når
+infrastrukturen er på plass, er sensur av IP-adresser redusert et
+spørsmål om hvilke IP-nummer som skal blokkeres. Listen over
+IP-adresser vil naturligvis endre seg etter hvert som myndighetene
+endrer seg. Det er ingen betryggende tanke.</p>

-surprised to discover that he was wiretapped during the election
-before he was elected president. He even claim this must be illegal.
-Well, doh, if it is one thing the confirmations from Snowden
-documented, it is that the entire population in USA is wiretapped, one
-way or another. Of course the president candidates were wiretapped,
-alongside the senators, judges and the rest of the people in USA.</p>
-
-<p>Next, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ask the Department of
-Justice to go public rejecting the claims that Donald Trump was
-wiretapped illegally. I fail to see the relevance, given that I am
-sure the surveillance industry in USA believe they have all the legal
-backing they need to conduct mass surveillance on the entire

-
-<p>There is even the director of the FBI stating that he never saw an
-order requesting wiretapping of Donald Trump. That is not very
-surprising, given how the FISA court work, with all its activity being
-secret. Perhaps he only heard about it?</p>

- <div class="date"> 1st March 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>A few days ago I ordered a small batch of
-<a href="http://altusmetrum.org/ChaosKey/">the ChaosKey</a>, a small
-USB dongle for generating entropy created by Bdale Garbee and Keith
-Packard. Yesterday it arrived, and I am very happy to report that it
-work great! According to its designers, to get it to work out of the
-box, you need the Linux kernel version 4.1 or later. I tested on a
-Debian Stretch machine (kernel version 4.9), and there it worked just
-fine, increasing the available entropy very quickly. I wrote a small
-test oneliner to test. It first print the current entropy level,
-drain /dev/random, and then print the entropy level for five seconds.
-Here is the situation without the ChaosKey inserted:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
- dd bs=1M if=/dev/random of=/dev/null count=1; \
- for n in $(seq 1 5); do \
- cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
- sleep 1; \
- done

-
-<p>The entropy level increases by 3-4 every second. In such case any
-application requiring random bits (like a HTTPS enabled web server)
-will halt and wait for more entrpy. And here is the situation with
-the ChaosKey inserted:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
- dd bs=1M if=/dev/random of=/dev/null count=1; \

-
-<p>Quite the difference. :) I bought a few more than I need, in case

+ <div class="date">21st March 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Personally, I would recommend to completely remove your Facebook
+account, and take back some control of your personal information.
+<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/19/how-to-protect-your-facebook-privacy-or-delete-yourself-completely">According
+to The Guardian</a>, it is a bit hard to find out how to request
+account removal (and not just 'disabling'). You need to
+<a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content">visit
+a specific Facebook page</a> and click on 'let us know' on that page
+to get to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account">the
+real account deletion screen</a>. 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.</p>
+
+<p>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 <a href="">NUUG</a> last april about
+<a href="https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20170404-big-data-psychometric/">
+Data collection, psychometric profiling and their impact on
+politics</a>.</p>
+
+<p>And if you want to communicate with your friends and loved ones,
+use some end-to-end encrypted method like
+<a href="https://www.signal.org/">Signal</a> or
+<a href="https://ring.cx/">Ring</a>, and stop sharing your private
+messages with strangers like Facebook and Google.</p>

+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

+
+<p>Det er flere historier om hvordan innsamlet biologisk materiale har

+<p>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
+<a href="https://www.fhi.no/arkiv/publikasjoner/for-pasienter-skjema-for-reservasjo/">folkehelseinstituttets
+websider</a>, 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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
+det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner

- <div class="body"><p>A few days ago, we received the ruling from
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_day_in_court_challenging_seizure_of_popcorn_time_no_for__domstolkontroll.html">my
-day in court</a>. The case in question is a challenge of the seizure
-of the DNS domain popcorn-time.no. The ruling simply did not mention
-most of our arguments, and seemed to take everything ØKOKRIM said at
-face value, ignoring our demonstration and explanations. But it is
-hard to tell for sure, as we still have not seen most of the documents
-in the case and thus were unprepared and unable to contradict several
-of the claims made in court by the opposition. We are considering an
-appeal, but it is partly a question of funding, as it is costing us
-quite a bit to pay for our lawyer. If you want to help, please
-<a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">donate to the
-NUUG defense fund</a>.</p>
-
-<p>The details of the case, as far as we know it, is available in
-Norwegian from
-<a href="https://www.nuug.no/news/tags/dns-domenebeslag/">the NUUG
-blog</a>. This also include

+ <div class="date">13th March 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Yesterday, after many months of hard work by several volunteer
+translators, the first draft of a Norwegian Bokmål edition of the book
+<a href="https://madewith.cc">Made with Creative Commons from 2017</a>
+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.</p>
+
+<p>The whole book project started when
+<a href="http://gwolf.org/node/4102">Gunnar Wolf announced</a> 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
+<a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">Free
+Culture</a> and
+<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/get/#norwegian">The Debian
+Administrator's Handbook</a> 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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>The translation is conducted using
+<a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/madewithcc/translation/">the
+Weblate web based translation system</a>. Please have a look there
+and get in touch if you would like to help out with proof
+reading. :)</p>

-
-<p>On Wednesday, I spent the entire day in court in Follo Tingrett
-representing <a href="https://www.nuug.no/">the member association
-NUUG</a>, alongside <a href="https://www.efn.no/">the member
-association EFN</a> and <a href="http://www.imc.no">the DNS registrar
-IMC</a>, challenging the seizure of the DNS name popcorn-time.no. It
-was interesting to sit in a court of law for the first time in my
-life. Our team can be seen in the picture above: attorney Ola
-Tellesbø, EFN board member Tom Fredrik Blenning, IMC CEO Morten Emil
-Eriksen and NUUG board member Petter Reinholdtsen.</p>
-
-<p><a href="http://www.domstol.no/no/Enkelt-domstol/follo-tingrett/Nar-gar-rettssaken/Beramming/?cid=AAAA1701301512081262234UJFBVEZZZZZEJBAvtale">The
-case at hand</a> is that the Norwegian National Authority for
-Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (aka
-Økokrim) decided on their own, to seize a DNS domain early last
-year, without following
-<a href="https://www.norid.no/no/regelverk/navnepolitikk/#link12">the
-official policy of the Norwegian DNS authority</a> which require a
-court decision. The web site in question was a site covering Popcorn
-Time. And Popcorn Time is the name of a technology with both legal
-and illegal applications. Popcorn Time is a client combining
-searching a Bittorrent directory available on the Internet with
-downloading/distribute content via Bittorrent and playing the
-downloaded content on screen. It can be used illegally if it is used
-to distribute content against the will of the right holder, but it can
-also be used legally to play a lot of content, for example the
-millions of movies
-<a href="https://archive.org/details/movies">available from the
-Internet Archive</a> or the collection
-<a href="http://vodo.net/films/">available from Vodo</a>. We created
-<a href="magnet:?xt=urn:btih:86c1802af5a667ca56d3918aecb7d3c0f7173084&dn=PresentasjonFolloTingrett.mov&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fpublic.popcorn-tracker.org%3A6969%2Fannounce">a
-video demonstrating legally use of Popcorn Time</a> and played it in
-Court. It can of course be downloaded using Bittorrent.</p>
-
-<p>I did not quite know what to expect from a day in court. The
-government held on to their version of the story and we held on to
-ours, and I hope the judge is able to make sense of it all. We will
-know in two weeks time. Unfortunately I do not have high hopes, as
-the Government have the upper hand here with more knowledge about the
-case, better training in handling criminal law and in general higher
-standing in the courts than fairly unknown DNS registrar and member
-associations. It is expensive to be right also in Norway. So far the
-case have cost more than NOK 70 000,-. To help fund the case, NUUG
-and EFN have asked for donations, and managed to collect around NOK 25
-000,- so far. Given the presentation from the Government, I expect
-the government to appeal if the case go our way. And if the case do
-not go our way, I hope we have enough funding to appeal.</p>
-
-<p>From the other side came two people from Økokrim. On the benches,
-appearing to be part of the group from the government were two people
-from the Simonsen Vogt Wiik lawyer office, and three others I am not
-quite sure who was. Økokrim had proposed to present two witnesses
-from The Motion Picture Association, but this was rejected because
-they did not speak Norwegian and it was a bit late to bring in a
-translator, but perhaps the two from MPA were present anyway. All
-seven appeared to know each other. Good to see the case is take
-seriously.</p>
-
-<p>If you, like me, believe the courts should be involved before a DNS
-domain is hijacked by the government, or you believe the Popcorn Time
-technology have a lot of useful and legal applications, I suggest you
-too <a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">donate to
-the NUUG defense fund</a>. Both Bitcoin and bank transfer are
-available. If NUUG get more than we need for the legal action (very
-unlikely), the rest will be spend promoting free software, open
-standards and unix-like operating systems in Norway, so no matter what
-happens the money will be put to good use.</p>
-
-<p>If you want to lean more about the case, I recommend you check out
-<a href="https://www.nuug.no/news/tags/dns-domenebeslag/">the blog
-posts from NUUG covering the case</a>. They cover the legal arguments
-on both sides.</p>

+ <div class="date"> 2nd March 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>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:
+
+<p align="center"><a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2018-03-02-ruter-debian-lenny.jpeg"><img align="center" width="40%" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2018-03-02-ruter-debian-lenny.jpeg" alt="[photo of subway info screen]"></a></p>
+
+<p>While I am happy to see Debian used more places, some details of the
+content on the screen worries me.</p>
+
+<p>The image show the version booting is 'Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid',
+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
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history">a Debian
+version history on Wikpedia</a>. This mean the system is running
+around 10 year old code, with no security fixes from the vendor for
+many years.</p>
+
+<p>This is not the first time I discover the Oslo subway company,
+Ruter, running outdated software. In 2012,
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Er_billettautomatene_til_kollektivtrafikken_i_Oslo_uten_sikkerhetsoppdateringer_.html">I
+discovered the ticket vending machines were running Windows 2000</a>,
+and this was
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fortsatt_ingen_sikkerhetsoppdateringer_for_billettautomatene_til_kollektivtrafikken_i_Oslo_.html">still
+the case in 2016</a>. 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.</p>
