-               <description>&lt;p&gt;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 &lt;tt&gt;df&lt;/tt&gt; 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:&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;A while back, I was asked by a friend how to stream the desktop to
+my projector connected to Kodi.  I sadly had to admit that I had no
+idea, as it was a task I never had tried.  Since then, I have been
+looking for a way to do so, preferable without much extra software to
+install on either side.  Today I found a way that seem to kind of
+work.  Not great, but it is a start.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I had a look at several approaches, for example
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mfoetsch/dlna_live_streaming&quot;&gt;using uPnP
+DLNA as described in 2011&lt;/a&gt;, but it required a uPnP server, fuse and
+local storage enough to store the stream locally.  This is not going
+to work well for me, lacking enough free space, and it would
+impossible for my friend to get working.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Next, it occurred to me that perhaps I could use VLC to create a
+video stream that Kodi could play.  Preferably using
+broadcast/multicast, to avoid having to change any setup on the Kodi
+side when starting such stream.  Unfortunately, the only recipe I
+could find using multicast used the rtp protocol, and this protocol
+seem to not be supported by Kodi.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, the rtsp protocol is working!  Unfortunately I
+have to specify the IP address of the streaming machine in both the
+sending command and the file on the Kodi server.  But it is showing my
+desktop, and thus allow us to have a shared look on the big screen at
+the programs I work on.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I did not spend much time investigating codeces.  I combined the
+rtp and rtsp recipes from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Command_Line_Examples/&quot;&gt;the
+VLC Streaming HowTo/Command Line Examples&lt;/a&gt;, and was able to get
+this working on the desktop/streaming end.&lt;/p&gt;

-nfs: server nfsserver not responding, still trying
-&lt;br&gt;nfs: server nfsserver OK
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-  
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The content for a NFS mount point look similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+vlc screen:// --sout \
+  &#39;#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:rtp{dst=projector.local,port=1234,sdp=rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/test.sdp}&#39;
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I ssh-ed into my Kodi box and created a file like this with the
+same IP address:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+echo rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/test.sdp \
+  &gt; /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Note the 192.168.11.4 IP address is my desktops IP address.  As far
+as I can tell the IP must be hardcoded for this to work.  In other
+words, if someone elses machine is going to do the steaming, you have
+to update screenstream.m4u on the Kodi machine and adjust the vlc
+recipe.  To get started, locate the file in Kodi and select the m3u
+file while the VLC stream is running.  The desktop then show up in my
+big screen. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When using the same technique to stream a video file with audio,
+the audio quality is really bad.  No idea if the problem is package
+loss or bad parameters for the transcode.  I do not know VLC nor Kodi
+enough to tell.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2018-07-12&lt;/strong&gt;: Johannes Schauer send me a few
+succestions and reminded me about an important step.  The &quot;screen:&quot;
+input source is only available once the vlc-plugin-access-extra
+package is installed on Debian.  Without it, you will see this error
+message: &quot;VLC is unable to open the MRL &#39;screen://&#39;.  Check the log
+for details.&quot;  He further found that it is possible to drop some parts
+of the VLC command line to reduce the amount of hardcoded information.
+It is also useful to consider using cvlc to avoid having the VLC
+window in the desktop view.  In sum, this give us this command line on
+the source end
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+cvlc screen:// --sout \
+  &#39;#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8080/}&#39;
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;and this on the Kodi end&lt;p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+echo rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/ \
+  &gt; /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Still bad image quality, though.  But I did discover that streaming
+a DVD using dvdsimple:///dev/dvd as the source had excellent video and
+audio quality, so I guess the issue is in the input or transcoding
+parts, not the rtsp part.  I&#39;ve tried to change the vb and ab
+parameters to use more bandwidth, but it did not make a
+difference.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I further received a suggestion from Einar Haraldseid to try using
+gstreamer instead of VLC, and this proved to work great!  He also
+provided me with the trick to get Kodi to use a multicast stream as
+its source.  By using this monstrous oneliner, I can stream my desktop
+with good video quality in reasonable framerate to the 239.255.0.1
+multicast address on port 1234:
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+gst-launch-1.0 ximagesrc use-damage=0 ! video/x-raw,framerate=30/1 ! \
+  videoconvert ! queue2 ! \
+  x264enc bitrate=8000 speed-preset=superfast tune=zerolatency qp-min=30 \
+  key-int-max=15 bframes=2 ! video/x-h264,profile=high ! queue2 ! \
+  mpegtsmux alignment=7 name=mux ! rndbuffersize max=1316 min=1316 ! \
+  udpsink host=239.255.0.1 port=1234 ttl-mc=0 auto-multicast=1 sync=0 \
+  pulsesrc device=$(pactl list | grep -A2 &#39;Source #&#39; | \
+    grep &#39;Name: .*\.monitor$&#39; |  cut -d&quot; &quot; -f2|head -1) ! \
+  audioconvert ! queue2 ! avenc_aac ! queue2 ! mux.
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;and this on the Kodi end&lt;p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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
-&lt;ahref=&quot;http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-4555/netmonitor-12/index.html&quot;&gt;Solaris
-10 System Administration Guide: Network Services&lt;/a&gt;, the &#39;nfsstat -c&#39;
-command can be used to get these timeout values.  But this do not work
-on Linux, as far as I can tell.  I
-&lt;ahref=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/857043&quot;&gt;asked Debian about this&lt;/a&gt;,
-but have not seen any replies yet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+echo udp://@239.255.0.1:1234 \
+  &gt; /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Note the trick to pick a valid pulseaudio source.  It might not
+pick the one you need.  This approach will of course lead to trouble
+if more than one source uses the same multicast port and address.
+Note the ttl-mc=0 setting, which limit the multicast packages to the
+local network.  If the value is increased, your screen will be
+broadcasted further, one network &quot;hop&quot; for each increase (read up on
+multicast to learn more. :)!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Having cracked how to get Kodi to receive multicast streams, I
+could use this VLC command to stream to the same multicast address.
+The image quality is way better than the rtsp approach.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+cvlc screen:// --sout &#39;#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.0.1,port=1234,sdp=sap}&#39;
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;So the new president in the United States of America claim to be
-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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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
-world.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;What I find most sad in this story is how Norwegian journalists
-present it.  In a news reports the other day in the radio from the
-Norwegian National broadcasting Company (NRK), I heard the journalist
-claim that &#39;the FBI denies any wiretapping&#39;, while the reality is that
-&#39;the FBI denies any illegal wiretapping&#39;.  There is a fundamental and
-important difference, and it make me sad that the journalists are
-unable to grasp it.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2017-03-13:&lt;/strong&gt; Look like

+
+&lt;p&gt;It is interesting to see how image formats have passed text/plain
+as the most announced supported MIME type.  These days, thanks to the
+AppStream system, if you run into a file format you do not know, and
+want to figure out which packages support the format, you can find the
+MIME type of the file using &quot;file --mime &amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;&quot;, and then
+look up all packages announcing support for this format in their
+AppStream metadata (XML or .desktop file) using &quot;appstreamcli
+what-provides mimetype &amp;lt;mime-type&amp;gt;.  For example if you, like
+me, want to know which packages support inode/directory, you can get a
+list like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype inode/directory | grep Package: | sort
+Package: anjuta
+Package: audacious
+Package: baobab
+Package: cervisia
+Package: chirp
+Package: dolphin
+Package: doublecmd-common
+Package: easytag
+Package: enlightenment

+Package: pcmanfm
+Package: pcmanfm-qt
+Package: qweborf
+Package: ranger
+Package: sirikali
+Package: spacefm
+Package: spacefm
+Package: vifm
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Using the same method, I can quickly discover that the Sketchup file
+format is not yet supported by any package in Debian:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype  application/vnd.sketchup.skp
+Could not find component providing &#39;mimetype::application/vnd.sketchup.skp&#39;.
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I used it to figure out which packages support the STL 3D
+format:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype  application/sla|grep Package
+Package: cura
+Package: meshlab
+Package: printrun
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;PS: A new version of Cura was uploaded to Debian yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;For almost a year now, we have been working on making a Norwegian
-Bokmål edition of &lt;a href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/&quot;&gt;The Debian
-Administrator&#39;s Handbook&lt;/a&gt;.  Now, thanks to the tireless effort of
-Ole-Erik, Ingrid and Andreas, the initial translation is complete, and
-we are working on the proof reading to ensure consistent language and
-use of correct computer science terms.  The plan is to make the book
-available on paper, as well as in electronic form.  For that to
-happen, the proof reading must be completed and all the figures need
-to be translated.  If you want to help out, get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/debian-handbook/debian-handbook-nb-NO.pdf&quot;&gt;A
-
-fresh PDF edition&lt;/a&gt; in A4 format (the final book will have smaller
-pages) of the book created every morning is available for
-proofreading.  If you find any errors, please
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/debian-handbook/&quot;&gt;visit
-Weblate and correct the error&lt;/a&gt;.  The
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://l.github.io/debian-handbook/stat/nb-NO/index.html&quot;&gt;state
-of the translation including figures&lt;/a&gt; is a useful source for those
-provide Norwegian bokmål screen shots and figures.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_APT_upgrade_without_enough_free_space_on_the_disk___.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Sun, 8 Jul 2018 12:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Quite regularly, I let my Debian Sid/Unstable chroot stay untouch
+for a while, and when I need to update it there is not enough free
+space on the disk for apt to do a normal &#39;apt upgrade&#39;.  I normally
+would resolve the issue by doing &#39;apt install &amp;lt;somepackages&amp;gt;&#39; to
+upgrade only some of the packages in one batch, until the amount of
+packages to download fall below the amount of free space available.
+Today, I had about 500 packages to upgrade, and after a while I got
+tired of trying to install chunks of packages manually.  I concluded
+that I did not have the spare hours required to complete the task, and
+decided to see if I could automate it.  I came up with this small
+script which I call &#39;apt-in-chunks&#39;:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+#!/bin/sh
+#
+# Upgrade packages when the disk is too full to upgrade every
+# upgradable package in one lump.  Fetching packages to upgrade using
+# apt, and then installing using dpkg, to avoid changing the package
+# flag for manual/automatic.
+
+set -e
+
+ignore() {
+    if [ &quot;$1&quot; ]; then
+       grep -v &quot;$1&quot;
+    else
+       cat
+    fi
+}
+
+for p in $(apt list --upgradable | ignore &quot;$@&quot; |cut -d/ -f1 | grep -v &#39;^Listing...&#39;); do
+    echo &quot;Upgrading $p&quot;
+    apt clean
+    apt install --download-only -y $p
+    for f in /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb; do
+       if [ -e &quot;$f&quot; ]; then
+           dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
+           break
+       fi
+    done
+done
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The script will extract the list of packages to upgrade, try to
+download the packages needed to upgrade one package, install the
+downloaded packages using dpkg.  The idea is to upgrade packages
+without changing the APT mark for the package (ie the one recording of
+the package was manually requested or pulled in as a dependency).  To
+use it, simply run it as root from the command line.  If it fail, try
+&#39;apt install -f&#39; to clean up the mess and run the script again.  This
+might happen if the new packages conflict with one of the old
+packages.  dpkg is unable to remove, while apt can do this.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It take one option, a package to ignore in the list of packages to
+upgrade.  The option to ignore a package is there to be able to skip
+the packages that are simply too large to unpack.  Today this was
+&#39;ghc&#39;, but I have run into other large packages causing similar
+problems earlier (like TeX).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2018-07-08: Thanks to Paul Wise, I am aware of two
+alternative ways to handle this.  The &quot;unattended-upgrades
+--minimal-upgrade-steps&quot; option will try to calculate upgrade sets for
+each package to upgrade, and then upgrade them in order, smallest set
+first.  It might be a better option than my above mentioned script.
+Also, &quot;aptutude upgrade&quot; can upgrade single packages, thus avoiding
+the need for using &quot;dpkg -i&quot; in the script above.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Wed, 1 Mar 2017 20:50:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago I ordered a small batch of
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://altusmetrum.org/ChaosKey/&quot;&gt;the ChaosKey&lt;/a&gt;, 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:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% 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

-12
-17
-21
-%
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% 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; \

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;So far, at least hydro-electric power, coal power, wind power,
+solar power, and wood power are well known.  Until a few days ago, I
+had never heard of stone power.  Then I learn about a quarry in a
+mountain in
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremanger&quot;&gt;Bremanger&lt;/a&gt; i
+Norway, where
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/&quot;&gt;the
+Bremanger Quarry&lt;/a&gt; company is extracting stone and dumping the stone
+into a shaft leading to its shipping harbour.  This downward movement
+in this shaft is used to produce electricity.  In short, it is using
+falling rocks instead of falling water to produce electricity, and
+according to its own statements it is producing more power than it is
+using, and selling the surplus electricity to the Norwegian power
+grid.  I find the concept truly amazing.  Is this the worlds only
+stone power plant?&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Quite the difference. :) I bought a few more than I need, in case
-someone want to buy one here in Norway. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update: The dongle was presented at Debconf last year.  You might
-find &lt;a href=&quot;https://debconf16.debconf.org/talks/94/&quot;&gt;the talk
-recording illuminating&lt;/a&gt;.  It explains exactly what the source of
-randomness is, if you are unable to spot it from the schema drawing
-available from the ChaosKey web site linked at the start of this blog
-post.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm&quot;&gt;ECMA-376&lt;/a&gt;
-/ ISO/IEC 29500 (aka OOXML) as valid formats to put in long term

-
-&lt;p&gt;Is there any tool to detect if a OOXML document depend on such

-to have such tool available when considering to approve the use of
-OOXML.  I&#39;m aware of the

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;My movie playing setup involve &lt;a href=&quot;https://kodi.tv/&quot;&gt;Kodi&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://openelec.tv&quot;&gt;OpenELEC&lt;/a&gt; (probably soon to be
+replaced with &lt;a href=&quot;https://libreelec.tv/&quot;&gt;LibreELEC&lt;/a&gt;) 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, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.infocus.com/&quot;&gt;InFocus&lt;/a&gt;, 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
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/infocus-projector-control&quot;&gt;a
+small script to control the projector&lt;/a&gt;.  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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial&quot;&gt;pyserial module&lt;/a&gt; in
+the add-on.  The long term solution is to make a &quot;script&quot; type
+pyserial module for Kodi, that can be pulled in as a dependency in
+Kodi.  But until that in place, I embed it.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.
+
+&lt;p&gt;If this sound interesting to you, check out
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/fredrik-eriksson/kodi_projcontrol&quot;&gt;the
+project github repository&lt;/a&gt;.  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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, we received the ruling from

-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

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I &lt;a href=&quot;https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS&quot;&gt;VHS-kassettenes&lt;/a&gt;
+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
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK.html&quot;&gt;skrevet&lt;/a&gt;
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK_med_den__nye__l_sningen.html&quot;&gt;om&lt;/a&gt;
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Nedlasting_fra_NRK__som_Matroska_med_undertekster.html&quot;&gt;før&lt;/a&gt;.
+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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Sist jeg så på saken, i 2016, nevnte jeg at
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/&quot;&gt;youtube-dl&lt;/a&gt; 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 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;
+og &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ubuntu.com/&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;, slik at en slipper å
+finne ut selv hvordan en skal få dem til å virke.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For å laste ned et NRK-innslag med undertekster, og få den norske
+underteksten pakket inn i videofilen, så kan følgende kommando
+brukes:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format ttml \
+  --convert-subtitles srt --embed-subs \
+  https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ramm-ferdig-gaa/MUHU11000316/27-04-2018
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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 &#39;--write-auto-sub&#39;,
+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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Best___ikke_fortelle_noen_at_streaming_er_nedlasting___.html&quot;&gt;vesensforskjellig
+å legge tilgjengelig for nedlasting og for streaming&lt;/a&gt;, når det rent
+teknisk er samme sak.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Programmet youtube-dl støtter også en rekke andre nettsteder, se
+prosjektoversikten for
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html&quot;&gt;en
+komplett liste&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

-
-&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, I spent the entire day in court in Follo Tingrett
-representing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the member association
-NUUG&lt;/a&gt;, alongside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.efn.no/&quot;&gt;the member
-association EFN&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imc.no&quot;&gt;the DNS registrar
-IMC&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.domstol.no/no/Enkelt-domstol/follo-tingrett/Nar-gar-rettssaken/Beramming/?cid=AAAA1701301512081262234UJFBVEZZZZZEJBAvtale&quot;&gt;The
-case at hand&lt;/a&gt; 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
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.norid.no/no/regelverk/navnepolitikk/#link12&quot;&gt;the
-official policy of the Norwegian DNS authority&lt;/a&gt; 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
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/movies&quot;&gt;available from the
-Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt; or the collection
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://vodo.net/films/&quot;&gt;available from Vodo&lt;/a&gt;.  We created
-&lt;a href=&quot;magnet:?xt=urn:btih:86c1802af5a667ca56d3918aecb7d3c0f7173084&amp;dn=PresentasjonFolloTingrett.mov&amp;tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fpublic.popcorn-tracker.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&quot;&gt;a
-video demonstrating legally use of Popcorn Time&lt;/a&gt; and played it in
-Court.  It can of course be downloaded using Bittorrent.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml&quot;&gt;donate to
-the NUUG defense fund&lt;/a&gt;.  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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to lean more about the case, I recommend you check out
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/news/tags/dns-domenebeslag/&quot;&gt;the blog
-posts from NUUG covering the case&lt;/a&gt;.  They cover the legal arguments
-on both sides.&lt;/p&gt;

+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.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Thu, 12 Jan 2017 09:40:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I dag fikk jeg en skikkelig gladmelding.  Bakgrunnen er at før jul
-arrangerte Nasjonalbiblioteket
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nb.no/Bibliotekutvikling/Kunnskapsorganisering/Nasjonalt-verksregister/Seminar-om-verksregister&quot;&gt;et
-seminar om sitt knakende gode tiltak «verksregister»&lt;/a&gt;.  Eneste
-måten å melde seg på dette seminaret var å sende personopplysninger
-til Google via Google Skjemaer.  Dette syntes jeg var tvilsom praksis,
-da det bør være mulig å delta på seminarer arrangert av det offentlige
-uten å måtte dele sine interesser, posisjon og andre
-personopplysninger med Google.  Jeg ba derfor om innsyn via
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mimesbronn.no/&quot;&gt;Mimes brønn&lt;/a&gt; i
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mimesbronn.no/request/personopplysninger_til_google_sk&quot;&gt;avtaler
-og vurderinger Nasjonalbiblioteket hadde rundt dette&lt;/a&gt;.
-Personopplysningsloven legger klare rammer for hva som må være på
-plass før en kan be tredjeparter, spesielt i utlandet, behandle
-personopplysninger på sine vegne, så det burde eksistere grundig
-dokumentasjon før noe slikt kan bli lovlig.  To jurister hos
-Nasjonalbiblioteket mente først dette var helt i orden, og at Googles
-standardavtale kunne brukes som databehandlingsavtale.  Det syntes jeg
-var merkelig, men har ikke hatt kapasitet til å følge opp saken før
-for to dager siden.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Gladnyheten i dag, som kom etter at jeg tipset Nasjonalbiblioteket
-om at Datatilsynet underkjente Googles standardavtaler som
-databehandleravtaler i 2011, er at Nasjonalbiblioteket har bestemt seg
-for å avslutte bruken av Googles Skjemaer/Apps og gå i dialog med DIFI
-for å finne bedre måter å håndtere påmeldinger i tråd med
-personopplysningsloven.  Det er fantastisk å se at av og til hjelper
-det å spørre hva i alle dager det offentlige holder på med.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Brevpost er beskyttet av straffelovens bestemmelse som gjør det
+kriminelt å åpne andres brev.  Dette følger av (ny) straffelovs
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2005-05-20-28/§205&quot;&gt;§ 205
+(Krenkelse av retten til privat kommunikasjon)&lt;/a&gt;, som sier at «Med
+bot eller fengsel inntil 2 år straffes den som uberettiget ...  c)
+åpner brev eller annen lukket skriftlig meddelelse som er adressert
+til en annen, eller på annen måte skaffer seg uberettiget tilgang til
+innholdet.» Dette gjelder såvel postbud som alle andre som har
+befatning med brevet etter at avsender har befatning med et lukket
+brev. Tilsvarende står også tidligere utgaver av den norske
+straffeloven.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Når en registrerer seg på usikre digitale postkasseløsningene, som
+f.eks. Digipost og e-Boks, og slik tar disse i bruk, så gir en de som
+står bak løsningene tillatelse til å åpne sine brev.  Dette er
+nødvendig for at innholdet i digital post skal kunne vises frem til
+mottaker via tjenestens websider.  Dermed gjelder ikke straffelovens
+paragraf om forbud mot å åpne brev, da tilgangen ikke lenger er
+uberettiget.  En gir altså fremmede tilgang til å lese sin
+korrespondanse.  I tillegg vil bruk av slike usikre digitale
+postbokser føre til at det blir registrert når du leser brevene, hvor
+du befinner deg (vha. tilkoblingens IP-adresse), hvilket utstyr du
+bruker og en rekke annen personlig informasjon som ikke er
+tilgjengelig når papirpost brukes.  Jeg foretrekker at det er
+lovmessig beskyttelse av min korrespondanse, som jo inneholder privat
+og personlig informasjon.  Det bidrar til litt bedre vern av personlig
+integritet i dagens norske samfunn.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg leste med interesse en nyhetssak hos
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digi.no/artikler/nav-avslorer-trygdemisbruk-ved-a-spore-ip-adresser/367394&quot;&gt;digi.no&lt;/a&gt;
-og
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nrk.no/buskerud/trygdesvindlere-avslores-av-utenlandske-ip-adresser-1.13313461&quot;&gt;NRK&lt;/a&gt;
-om at det ikke bare er meg, men at også NAV bedriver geolokalisering
-av IP-adresser, og at det gjøres analyse av IP-adressene til de som
-sendes inn meldekort for å se om meldekortet sendes inn fra
-utenlandske IP-adresser.  Politiadvokat i Drammen, Hans Lyder Haare,
-er sitert i NRK på at «De to er jo blant annet avslørt av
-IP-adresser. At man ser at meldekortet kommer fra utlandet.»&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg synes det er fint at det blir bedre kjent at IP-adresser
-knyttes til enkeltpersoner og at innsamlet informasjon brukes til å
-stedsbestemme personer også av aktører her i Norge.  Jeg ser det som
-nok et argument for å bruke
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.torproject.org/&quot;&gt;Tor&lt;/a&gt; så mye som mulig for å
-gjøre gjøre IP-lokalisering vanskeligere, slik at en kan beskytte sin
-privatsfære og unngå å dele sin fysiske plassering med
-uvedkommede.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;P&gt;Men det er en ting som bekymrer meg rundt denne nyheten.  Jeg ble
-tipset (takk #nuug) om
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nav.no/no/NAV+og+samfunn/Kontakt+NAV/Teknisk+brukerstotte/Snarveier/personvernerkl%C3%A6ring-for-arbeids-og-velferdsetaten&quot;&gt;NAVs

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Self_appointed_leaders_of_the_Free_World.html</link>

+               <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;&lt;blockquote&gt;

-
-&lt;p&gt;«Når du besøker nav.no, etterlater du deg elektroniske spor. Sporene
-dannes fordi din nettleser automatisk sender en rekke opplysninger til
-NAVs tjener (server-maskin) hver gang du ber om å få vist en side. Det
-er eksempelvis opplysninger om hvilken nettleser og -versjon du
-bruker, og din internettadresse (ip-adresse). For hver side som vises,
-lagres følgende opplysninger:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;hvilken side du ser på&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;dato og tid&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;hvilken nettleser du bruker&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;din ip-adresse&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Ingen av opplysningene vil bli brukt til å identifisere
-enkeltpersoner. NAV bruker disse opplysningene til å generere en
-samlet statistikk som blant annet viser hvilke sider som er mest
-populære. Statistikken er et redskap til å forbedre våre
-tjenester.»&lt;/p&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;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Jeg klarer ikke helt å se hvordan analyse av de besøkendes
-IP-adresser for å se hvem som sender inn meldekort via web fra en
-IP-adresse i utlandet kan gjøres uten å komme i strid med påstanden om
-at «ingen av opplysningene vil bli brukt til å identifisere
-enkeltpersoner».  Det virker dermed for meg som at NAV bryter sine
-egen personvernerklæring, hvilket
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Er_lover_brutt_n_r_personvernpolicy_ikke_stemmer_med_praksis_.html&quot;&gt;Datatilsynet
-fortalte meg i starten av desember antagelig er brudd på
-personopplysningsloven&lt;/a&gt;.
-
-&lt;p&gt;I tillegg er personvernerklæringen ganske misvisende i og med at
-NAVs nettsider ikke bare forsyner NAV med personopplysninger, men i
-tillegg ber brukernes nettleser kontakte fem andre nettjenere
-(script.hotjar.com, static.hotjar.com, vars.hotjar.com,
-www.google-analytics.com og www.googletagmanager.com), slik at
-personopplysninger blir gjort tilgjengelig for selskapene Hotjar og
-Google , og alle som kan lytte på trafikken på veien (som FRA, GCHQ og
-NSA).  Jeg klarer heller ikke se hvordan slikt spredning av
-personopplysninger kan være i tråd med kravene i
-personopplysningloven, eller i tråd med NAVs personvernerklæring.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Kanskje NAV bør ta en nøye titt på sin personvernerklæring?  Eller
-kanskje Datatilsynet bør gjøre det?&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
+Canada via John F. Kennedy International Airport in September 2002 and
+sent him to be tortured in Syria for a year&lt;/a&gt;.&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;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Did you ever wonder where the web trafic really flow to reach the
-web servers, and who own the network equipment it is flowing through?
-It is possible to get a glimpse of this from using traceroute, but it
-is hard to find all the details.  Many years ago, I wrote a system to
-map the Norwegian Internet (trying to figure out if our plans for a
-network game service would get low enough latency, and who we needed
-to talk to about setting up game servers close to the users.  Back
-then I used traceroute output from many locations (I asked my friends
-to run a script and send me their traceroute output) to create the
-graph and the map.  The output from traceroute typically look like
-this:
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-traceroute to www.stortinget.no (85.88.67.10), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
- 1  uio-gw10.uio.no (129.240.202.1)  0.447 ms  0.486 ms  0.621 ms
- 2  uio-gw8.uio.no (129.240.24.229)  0.467 ms  0.578 ms  0.675 ms
- 3  oslo-gw1.uninett.no (128.39.65.17)  0.385 ms  0.373 ms  0.358 ms
- 4  te3-1-2.br1.fn3.as2116.net (193.156.90.3)  1.174 ms  1.172 ms  1.153 ms
- 5  he16-1-1.cr1.san110.as2116.net (195.0.244.234)  2.627 ms he16-1-1.cr2.oslosda310.as2116.net (195.0.244.48)  3.172 ms he16-1-1.cr1.san110.as2116.net (195.0.244.234)  2.857 ms
- 6  ae1.ar8.oslosda310.as2116.net (195.0.242.39)  0.662 ms  0.637 ms ae0.ar8.oslosda310.as2116.net (195.0.242.23)  0.622 ms
- 7  89.191.10.146 (89.191.10.146)  0.931 ms  0.917 ms  0.955 ms
- 8  * * *
- 9  * * *
-[...]
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This show the DNS names and IP addresses of (at least some of the)
-network equipment involved in getting the data traffic from me to the
-www.stortinget.no server, and how long it took in milliseconds for a
-package to reach the equipment and return to me.  Three packages are
-sent, and some times the packages do not follow the same path.  This
-is shown for hop 5, where three different IP addresses replied to the
-traceroute request.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;There are many ways to measure trace routes.  Other good traceroute
-implementations I use are traceroute (using ICMP packages) mtr (can do
-both ICMP, UDP and TCP) and scapy (python library with ICMP, UDP, TCP
-traceroute and a lot of other capabilities).  All of them are easily
-available in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This time around, I wanted to know the geographic location of
-different route points, to visualize how visiting a web page spread
-information about the visit to a lot of servers around the globe.  The
-background is that a web site today often will ask the browser to get
-from many servers the parts (for example HTML, JSON, fonts,
-JavaScript, CSS, video) required to display the content.  This will
-leak information about the visit to those controlling these servers
-and anyone able to peek at the data traffic passing by (like your ISP,
-the ISPs backbone provider, FRA, GCHQ, NSA and others).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Lets pick an example, the Norwegian parliament web site
-www.stortinget.no.  It is read daily by all members of parliament and
-their staff, as well as political journalists, activits and many other
-citizens of Norway.  A visit to the www.stortinget.no web site will
-ask your browser to contact 8 other servers: ajax.googleapis.com,
-insights.hotjar.com, script.hotjar.com, static.hotjar.com,
-stats.g.doubleclick.net, www.google-analytics.com,
-www.googletagmanager.com and www.netigate.se.  I extracted this by
-asking &lt;a href=&quot;http://phantomjs.org/&quot;&gt;PhantomJS&lt;/a&gt; to visit the
-Stortinget web page and tell me all the URLs PhantomJS downloaded to
-render the page (in HAR format using
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/blob/master/examples/netsniff.js&quot;&gt;their
-netsniff example&lt;/a&gt;.  I am very grateful to Gorm for showing me how
-to do this).  My goal is to visualize network traces to all IP
-addresses behind these DNS names, do show where visitors personal
-information is spread when visiting the page.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;www.stortinget.no-geoip.kml&quot;&gt;&lt;img
-src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-geoip-small.png&quot; alt=&quot;map of combined traces for URLs used by www.stortinget.no using GeoIP&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When I had a look around for options, I could not find any good
-free software tools to do this, and decided I needed my own traceroute
-wrapper outputting KML based on locations looked up using GeoIP.  KML
-is easy to work with and easy to generate, and understood by several
-of the GIS tools I have available.  I got good help from by NUUG
-colleague Anders Einar with this, and the result can be seen in
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/kmltraceroute&quot;&gt;my
-kmltraceroute git repository&lt;/a&gt;.  Unfortunately, the quality of the
-free GeoIP databases I could find (and the for-pay databases my
-friends had access to) is not up to the task.  The IP addresses of
-central Internet infrastructure would typically be placed near the
-controlling companies main office, and not where the router is really
-located, as you can see from &lt;a href=&quot;www.stortinget.no-geoip.kml&quot;&gt;the
-KML file I created&lt;/a&gt; using the GeoLite City dataset from MaxMind.

-
-&lt;p&gt;I also had a look at the visual traceroute graph created by
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/&quot;&gt;the scrapy project&lt;/a&gt;,
-showing IP network ownership (aka AS owner) for the IP address in
-question.
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-scapy.svg&quot;&gt;The
-graph display a lot of useful information about the traceroute in SVG
-format&lt;/a&gt;, and give a good indication on who control the network
-equipment involved, but it do not include geolocation.  This graph
-make it possible to see the information is made available at least for
-UNINETT, Catchcom, Stortinget, Nordunet, Google, Amazon, Telia, Level
-3 Communications and NetDNA.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://geotraceroute.com/index.php?node=4&amp;host=www.stortinget.no&quot;&gt;&lt;img
-src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-geotraceroute-small.png&quot; alt=&quot;example geotraceroute view for www.stortinget.no&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In the process, I came across the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://geotraceroute.com/&quot;&gt;web service GeoTraceroute&lt;/a&gt; by
-Salim Gasmi.  Its methology of combining guesses based on DNS names,
-various location databases and finally use latecy times to rule out
-candidate locations seemed to do a very good job of guessing correct
-geolocation.  But it could only do one trace at the time, did not have
-a sensor in Norway and did not make the geolocations easily available
-for postprocessing.  So I contacted the developer and asked if he
-would be willing to share the code (he refused until he had time to
-clean it up), but he was interested in providing the geolocations in a
-machine readable format, and willing to set up a sensor in Norway.  So
-since yesterday, it is possible to run traces from Norway in this
-service thanks to a sensor node set up by
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the NUUG assosiation&lt;/a&gt;, and get the
-trace in KML format for further processing.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-geotraceroute-kml-join.kml&quot;&gt;&lt;img
-src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-geotraceroute-kml-join.png&quot; alt=&quot;map of combined traces for URLs used by www.stortinget.no using geotraceroute&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Here we can see a lot of trafic passes Sweden on its way to
-Denmark, Germany, Holland and Ireland.  Plenty of places where the
-Snowden confirmations verified the traffic is read by various actors
-without your best interest as their top priority.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Combining KML files is trivial using a text editor, so I could loop
-over all the hosts behind the urls imported by www.stortinget.no and
-ask for the KML file from GeoTraceroute, and create a combined KML
-file with all the traces (unfortunately only one of the IP addresses
-behind the DNS name is traced this time.  To get them all, one would
-have to request traces using IP number instead of DNS names from
-GeoTraceroute).  That might be the next step in this project.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Armed with these tools, I find it a lot easier to figure out where
-the IP traffic moves and who control the boxes involved in moving it.
-And every time the link crosses for example the Swedish border, we can
-be sure Swedish Signal Intelligence (FRA) is listening, as GCHQ do in
-Britain and NSA in USA and cables around the globe.  (Hm, what should
-we tell them? :) Keep that in mind if you ever send anything
-unencrypted over the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;PS: KML files are drawn using
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://ivanrublev.me/kml/&quot;&gt;the KML viewer from Ivan
-Rublev&lt;a/&gt;, as it was less cluttered than the local Linux application
-Marble.  There are heaps of other options too.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <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;
