+published by its lead developer Thomas Sødring:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+
+<p>It is with great pleasure that we can announce a new release of
+nikita. Version 0.6
+(<a href="https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core">https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core</a>). This
+release makes new record keeping functionality available. This really
+is a maturity release. Both in terms of functionality but also code.
+Considerable effort has gone into refactoring the codebase and
+simplifying the code. Notable changes for this release include:</p>
<ul>
- <li>Updated to Noark 5 versjon 5.0 API specification.
- <ul>

- <li>implemented conversion.</li>
- </ul></li>
- <li>Improved/implemented OData search and paging support for more entities.</li>
- <li>No longer exposes attribute Dokumentobjekt.referanseDokumentfil,
- one should use the relation in _links instead.</li>
- <li>Corrected relation keys under
- https://rel.arkivverket.no/noark5/v5/api/administrasjon/, replacing
- 'administrasjon' with 'admin'.</li>
- <li>Fixed several security and stability issues discovered by Coverity.</li>
- <li>Corrected handling ETag errors, now return code 409.</li>
- <li>Improved handling of Kryssreferanse.</li>
- <li>Changed internal database model to use UUID/SystemID as primary keys
- in tables.</li>
- <li>Changed internal database table names to use package prefix.</li>
- <li>Changed time zone handling for date and datetime attributes, to be
- more according to the new definition in the API specification.</li>
- <li>Change revoke-token to only drop token on POST requests, not GET.</li>
- <li>Updated to newer Spring version.</li>
- <li>Changed primary key and URL component for metadata code lists to
- use the 'kode' value instead of a SystemID.</li>
- <li>Corrected implementation of Part and Sakspart.</li>
- <li>Changed instance lists with subtypes (like .../registrering/ and
- .../mappe/) to include the attributes and _links entries for the
- subtype in the supertype lists.</li>
- <li>Adjusted _links relations to make it possible to figure out the
- entity of an instance using the self->href->relation key lookup
- method.</li>
- <li>Fixed several end points to make sure GET, PUT, POST and DELETE
- match each other.</li>
- <li>Updated DELETE endpoints to work with UUID based entity
- identifiers.</li>
- <li>Restructured code to use more common URL related constants in entry
- point values and replace @RequestMapping with method specific
- annotations.</li>
- <li>Added first unit test code.</li>
- <li>Updated web GUI to work with the updated API.</li>
- <li>Changed integer fields, enforce them as numeric.</li>
- <li>Rewrote and simplify metadata handling to use common service and
- controller code instead of duplicating for each type.</li>
- <li>Implemented the remaining metadata types.</li>
- <li>Changed Country list source from Wikipedia to Debian iso-codes and
- updated the list of Countries.</li>
- <li>Many many corrections and improvements.</li>
+ <li>Significantly improved OData parsing</li>
+ <li>Support for business specific metadata and national identifiers</li>
+ <li>Continued implementation of domain model and endpoints</li>
+ <li>Improved testing</li>
+ <li>Ability to export and import from arkivstruktur.xml</li>
</ul>
+<p>We are currently in the process of reaching an agreement with an
+archive institution to publish their picture archive using nikita with
+business specific metadata and we hope that we can share this with you
+soon. This is an interesting project as it allows the organisation to
+bring an older picture archive back to life while using the original
+metadata values stored as business specific metadata. Combined with
+OData means the scope and use of the archive is significantly
+increased and will showcase both the flexibility and power of
+Noark.</p>
+
+<p>I really think we are approaching a version 1.0 of nikita, even
+though there is still a lot of work to be done. The notable work at
+the moment is to implement access-control and full text indexing of
+documents.</p>
+
+<p>My sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to this
+release!</p>

+ <title>VLC bittorrent plugin in Bullseye, saved by the bell?</title>
+ <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/VLC_bittorrent_plugin_in_Bullseye__saved_by_the_bell_.html</link>

+ <description><p>Yesterday morning I got a warning call from the Debian quality
+control system that
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent">the VLC
+bittorrent plugin</a> was due to be removed because of a release
+critical bug in one of its dependencies. As you might remember, this
+plugin make VLC able to stream videos directly from a bittorrent
+source using both torrent files and magnet links, similar to using a
+HTTP source. I believe such protocol support is a vital feature in
+VLC, allowing efficient streaming from sources such at the almost 7
+million movies in <a href="https://archive.org/">the Internet
+Archive</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The dependency was the unmaintained
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libtorrent-rasterbar">libtorrent-rasterbar</a>
+package, and <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/987306">the bug in
+question</a> blocked its python library from working properly. As I
+did not want Bullseye to release without bittorrent support in VLC, I
+set out to check out the status, and track down a fix for the problem.
+Luckily the issue had already been identified and fixed upstream,
+providing everything needed. All I needed to do was to fetch the
+Debian git repository, extract and trim the patch from upstream and
+apply it to the Debian package for upload.</p>
+
+<p>The fixed library was uploaded yesterday evening. But that is not
+enough to get it into Bullseye, as Debian is currently in package
+freeze to prepare for a new next stable release. Only non-critical
+packages with
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/autopkgtest">autopkgtest
+setup</a> included, in other words able to validate automatically that
+the package is working, are allowed to migrate automatically into the
+next release at this stage. And the unmaintained libtorrent-rasterbar
+lack such testing, and thus needed a manual override. I am happy to
+report that such manual override was approved a few minutes ago, thus
+increasing significantly the chance of VLC bittorrent streaming being
+available out of the box also for Debian/Buster users. A bit too
+close shave for my liking, as the Bullseye release is most likely just
+a few days away, and this did feel like the package was saved by the
+bell. I am so glad the warning email showed up in time for me to
+handle the issue, and a big thanks go to the Debian Release team for
+the quick feedback on
+<a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-release">#debian-release</a>
+and their <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/987865">swift
+unblocking</a>.</p>

- <description><p>Arbeidet med å lage et godt, fritt og åpent standardisert maskinelt
-grensesnitt for arkivering, med tilhørende fri
-programvareimplementasjon fortsetter. Jeg snakker om
-<a href="https://github.com/arkivverket/noark5-tjenestegrensesnitt-standard">Noark
-5 Tjenestegrensesnitt</a> og
-<a href="https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/">Nikita</a>.
-Siste nytt etter
-<a href="https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20200127-noark-seminar/">seminaret
-for noen dager siden</a>, er vi i Nikita-prosjektet har fått beskjed
-fra Arkivverket at det blir satt ned en redaksjon for å videreutvikle
-spesifikasjonen. Redaksjonen består av Mona Danielsen og Anne Sofie
-Knutsen ved arkivverket, Thomas Sødring ved OsloMet, og meg selv fra
-NUUG. De to sistenevnte tar seg av de åpenbare forbedringene, mens
-hele redaksjonen diskuterer tvilstilfeller. Jeg håper dette vil bidra
-til at vi lykkes i å gjøre denne protokollspesifikasjonen så entydig
-og klar at den vil bidra til et velfungerende marked for
-arkivsystemer, og sikre at programmer som trenger å snakke med
-arkivsystemet kan snakke med enhver implementasjon av
-API-spesifikasjonen. Nikita er den første implementasjonen, men det
-bør blir flere.</p>
-
-<p>Det gjenstår riktig nok endel før vi er i mål, selv om svært mye
-allerede er på plass. Med innspill og forslag til forbedringer fra
-alle som vil ha et leverandøruavhengig og fullstendig
-datamaskinlesbart grensesnitt til arkivet, så tror jeg vi vil
-lykkes.</p>

+ <description><p>I have neglected the Valutakrambod library for a while, but decided
+this weekend to give it a face lift. I fixed a few minor glitches in
+several of the service drivers, where the API had changed since I last
+looked at the code. I also added support for fetching the order book
+from the newcomer Norwegian Bitcoin Exchange.</p>
+
+<p>I also decided to migrate the project from github to gitlab in the
+process. If you want a python library for talking to various currency
+exchanges, check out

-Det er basert på

+ <description><p>Etter intenst arbeid over mange måneder er endelig den norske
+utgaven av «Hvordan knuse overvåkningskapitalismen» av Cory Doctorow
+ferdig og klar til å glede millioner av lesere over hele verden.
+Følgende pressemelding ble nettopp sendt ut til norske redaksjoner:
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p><strong>Hva gjør stordata med oss, og hvordan gjør algoritmene
+«fake news» til realiter?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Nå foreligger en viktig bok om temaet også på norsk. Boken klargjør
+og foreslår hvordan vi selv som enkeltpersoner, men også nasjonalt og
+internasjonalt kan bekjempe stordatakonsentrasjonene;
+«overvåkingskapitalismen». Boken er «Hvordan knuse
+overvåkingskapitalismen» av dr. Cory Doctorow. Den engelske
+bokutgivelsen kom for noen dager siden og lanseres med et Webinar
+torsdag 2021-01-28. Doctorow besøkte Norge og NUUG i desember med sin
+presentasjon Monopoly, Not Mind Control: What's Really Happening With
+"Surveillance Capitalism".</p>
+
+<p>I funn etter funn, eksempel etter eksempel, gjennomgår og
+analyserer dr. Doctorow de utfordringer vi møter i større og større
+omfang. Ikke bare i USA, men også her hjemme.</p>
+
+<p>Cory Doctorow er en britisk-kanadisk forfatter, journalist og
+aktivist, kjent for sine science fiction-romaner, for arbeidet for
+Creative Commons-bevegelsen, og for sine bidrag til reform av
+opphavsretten. Han er både æresdoktor og gjesteforeleser i
+datavitenskap ved Open University i UK, konsulent for Electronic
+Frontier Foundation, og godt kjent for innsiktsfullt å kommentere og
+skrive om digital utvikling.</p>
+
+<p>Boken lanseres nå på norsk, både som ebok og på papir, oversatt av
+en dugnadsgjeng ledet av Petter Reinholdtsen.</p>
+
+<p>Boken reiser noen helt grunnleggende og samfunnskritiske spørsmål:
+Hva fører det til når store deler av Internettet domineres av få store
+aktører og deres styringsverktøy og algoritmer?</p>
+
+<p>Som individer bør vi være opptatt at grenser blir satt og håndhevet
+- grenser for overvåkning av individet, for utøvelse av kommersiell
+og politisk påvirkning, og for monopoldannelser i
+dataverdenen. Slik grensesetting styrker personvernet.</p>
+
+<p>Konkurransetilsynet har ansvaret for at konkurranselovens § 11 skal
+forby «et dominerende foretak for utilbørlig å utnytte og misbruke
+sin dominerende stilling». Et tilsvarende forbud omfattes også av
+EØS-avtalens artikkel 54. Boken går i detalj om serien av
+innskrenkninger vi møter i valgfriheten, innskrenkninger som denne
+lovgivningen nettopp skal forhindre. Håndhevelse av en slik lovgivning
+er også til fordel for mindre næringsdrivende som uten dette får
+begrenset sine faktiske eller potensielle muligheter for vekst og
+etablering. «Slik atferd kan utgjøre et misbruk og kan ta ulike
+former», skriver Konkurransetilsynet.</p>
+
+<p>Cory Doctorow går i sin bok lengre enn det med sine mange eksempler
+på forhold det burde vært grepet inn mot.</p>
+
+<p>«Boken bør bidra til et sterkere engasjemen fra voktere av
+Internettet nasjonalt og internasjonalt - EU medregnet» sier
+oversetter Ole-Erik Yrvin og fortsetter: «Vi har derfor
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2021-01-26-knus-overvaakningskapitalismen-helleland.pdf">allerede
+tatt opp bokens forslag</a> direkte med Distrikts- og
+digitaliseringsminister Linda Hofstad Helleland (H) og
+Konkurransetilsynet slik at de kan følges opp.»</p>
+
+<p>«Også Norge bør innta en pådriverrolle i denne utviklingen», sier
+Petter Reinholdtsen. «Tiden er knapp, og tilsynsmyndighetene må få
+de verktøy og de ressurser de trenger for at vi her hjemme skal oppnå
+nødvendige resultater. Dette gjelder ikke bare vår egen generasjon;
+det gjelder alle generasjoner fremover», avslutter Petter
+Reinholdsen.</p>

- <description><p>En historie som har betydd endel for meg, og som jeg av og til
-tenker på når hverdagen tynger, ble så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut,
-skrevet av <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loren_Eiseley">Loren
-Eiseley</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_Thrower">i
-flere ulike varianter</a>. På norsk tror jeg den går under navnet
-«Gutten og sjøstjernen», og jeg fant en oversettelse av en utgave av den
-hos
-<a href="https://no.quora.com/Hva-er-din-favoritthistorie">Quora</a>.
-Fant også <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qClChUdlfI">en
-filmatisering</a>, men den versjonen jeg liker best fant jeg
-<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/56782.Loren_Eiseley">hos
-Goodreads</a>. Jeg oversatte den utgaven til norsk i går, og har lyst
-til å dele den med deg:
-
-<blockquote><p>Mens jeg tok en pause fra skrivingen og vandret på en
-øde strand ved daggry, så jeg en gutt i det fjerne bøye seg ned og
-kaste noe mens han vandret mot meg over den endeløse stranden. Da han
-kom nærmere, kunne jeg se at han kastet sjøstjerner, som var etterlatt
-i sanden av tidevannet, tilbake i havet. Da han var nær nok spurte jeg
-ham hvorfor han jobbet så hardt på denne merkelige oppgaven. Han sa at
-solen snart ville stå opp og tørke sjøstjernene slik at de ville
-dø.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg sa til ham at dette var helt meningsløst. Det var kilometer på
-kilometer med strand, og det lå sjøstjerner hele veien. En person
-alene kunne ikke gjøre noen forskjell. Han smilte da han plukket opp
-neste sjøstjerne. Mens han kastet den så langt ut i havet som han
-klarte sa han, «for denne gjør det en forskjell». Jeg droppet
-skrivingen og tilbrakte resten av morgenen med å kaste
-sjøstjerner.</p>

+ <description><p>After a lot of hard work by its maintainer Alexandre Viau and
+others, the decentralized communication platform
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jami_(software)">Jami</a>
+(earlier known as Ring), managed to get
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ring">its latest version</a>
+into Debian Testing. Several of its dependencies has caused build and
+propagation problems, which all seem to be solved now.</p>
+
+<p>In addition to the fact that Jami is decentralized, similar to how
+bittorrent is decentralized, I first of all like how it is not
+connected to external IDs like phone numbers. This allow me to set up
+computers to send me notifications using Jami without having to find
+get a phone number for each computer. Automatic notification via Jami
+is also made trivial thanks to the provided client side API (as a DBus
+service). Here is my bourne shell script demonstrating how to let any
+system send a message to any Jami address. It will create a new
+identity before sending the message, if no Jami identity exist
+already:</p>

+ <description><p>Endelig er den norske utgaven av «Made with Creative Commons»
+ferdig og publisert. Følgende pressemelding ble nettopp sendt ut:
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p><strong>Boken «Made with Creative Commons» lanseres på norsk</strong></p>
+
+<p>«Gjort med Creative Commons» er en bok om gjenbruk, deling og den
+digitale allmenningen. Boken omhandler å bygge en forretningsmodell på
+åpne verdier, endringene i tankesett og filosofi, og fordelene og
+praksisen som kommer med å være «åpen».</p>
+
+<p>Forfatterne Paul Stacey og Sarah Hinchliff Pearson tar oss med inn
+i samtaler med 24 mennesker, prosjekter og organisasjoner som på ulike
+måter generere inntekter gjennom deling av sine verk. Som leser får
+man innsikt i hvordan alt fra forskere, forfattere, kunstnere og
+filmskapere tjener penger basert på åpne forretningsmodeller. En av
+referansestudiene i denne boken viser hvordan Blender Animation Studio
+lager vakre animasjonsfilmer som de publiserer under en fri lisens,
+basert på en plattform som er fri programvare.</p>
+
+<p>Utover praktiske eksempler på forskjellige forretningsmodeller berører
+også boken forskjellen mellom tradisjonelle kommersielle virksomheter og
+de som tar utgangspunkt i den globale delingskulturen.</p>
+
+<p>«Hvis du ønsker å lære mer om digital delingskultur og Creative Commons
+er dette en bok som både vil inspirere og gi grunnleggende innsikt» sier
+leder av Creative Commons Norge, Christer Solheim Gundersen. «De siste
+årene har denne globale bevegelsen sett en betydelig vekst med totalt
+over 1,6 milliarder verk med CC-lisens tilgjengelig på nett.»
+
+Nå er den tilgjengelig på norsk takket være liten gruppe frivillige
+entusiaster ledet av Petter Reinholdtsen. «På vegne av Creative Commons
+Norge vil jeg takke hver enkelt bidragsyter. Dette prosjektet er i seg
+selv et inspirerende eksempel på at delingskulturen også har godt
+fotfeste her i Norge.», avslutter Gundersen.</p>
+
+<p>Boken er selvsagt fritt tilgjengelig under en Creative Commons lisens,
+og kan også kjøpes som ebok og papirutgave på blant annet Lulu.com og
+Amazon.</p>

-tried a new approach. I sent the following email (removing the
-specifics, as I am not out to take the specific service in question)
-to the service provider I decided to not use, to at least give them
-one data point on how many users are unhappy with their terms:</p>

-<br>Date: Sat, 07 Dec 2019 16:30:56 +0100
-
-<p>Dear [Site Owner],</p>
-
-<p>I was eager to test the system, as it seemed like a fun and
-interesting application of [some] technology, but after reading the
-terms of use and privacy policy on &lt;URL:
-https://www.[some.site]/terms-of-use &gt; and &lt;URL:
-https://www.[some.site]/privacy-policy &gt; I want you to know that I

+<p>I am happy to report that we finally made it! Norwegian Bokmål
+became the first translation published on paper of the new Buster
+based edition of "<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/">The Debian
+Administrator's Handbook</a>". The print proof reading copy arrived
+some days ago, and it looked good, so now the book is approved for

+
+<p>I am very happy to wrap up this Creative Common licensed project,
+which concludes several months of work by several volunteers. The
+number of Linux related books published in Norwegian are few, and I

-Norway</a>, and came up with NOK 2.1 million / EUR 250 000 for the
-year 2013. It is time to repeat the calculation using updated
-numbers. The calculation is based on how much data storage is needed
-for each minute of audio, how many minutes all the calls in Norway
-sums up to, multiplied by the cost of data storage.</p>
-
-<p>The number of phone call minutes for 2018 was fetched from
-<a href="https://ekomstatistikken.nkom.no/">the NKOM statistics
-site</a>, and for 2018, land line calls are listed as 434 238 000
-minutes, while mobile phone calls are listed with 7 542 006 000
-minutes. The total number of minutes is thus 7 976 244 000. For
-simplicity, I decided to ignore any advantages in audio compression the
-last four years, and continue to assume 60 Kbytes/min as the last
-time.</p>
-
-<p>Storage prices still varies a lot, but as last time, I decide to
-take a reasonable big and cheap hard drive, and double its price to
-include the surrounding costs into account. A 10 TB disk cost less
-than 4500 NOK / 450 EUR these days, and doubling it give 9000 NOK per
-10 TB.</p>
-
-<p>So, with the parameters in place, lets update the old table
-estimating cost for calls in a given year:</p>
-
-<table border="1">
-<tr><th>Year</th><th>Call minutes</th><th>Size</th><th>Price in NOK / EUR</th></tr>
-<tr><td>2005</td><td align="right">24 000 000 000</td><td align="right">1.3 PiB</td><td align="right">1 170 000 / 117 000</td></tr>
-
-<tr><td>2012</td><td align="right">18 000 000 000</td><td align="right">1.0 PiB</td><td align="right">900 000 / 90 000</td></tr>
-
-<tr><td>2013</td><td align="right">17 000 000 000</td><td align="right">950 TiB</td><td align="right">855 000 / 85 500</td></tr>
-
-<tr><td>2018</td><td align="right">7 976 244 000</td><td align="right">445 TiB</td><td align="right">401 100 / 40 110</td></tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>Both the cost of storage and the number of phone call minutes have
-dropped since the last time, bringing the cost down to a level where I
-guess even small organizations can afford to store the audio recording
-from every phone call taken in a year in Norway. Of course, this is
-just the cost of buying the storage equipment. Maintenance, need to
-be included as well, but the volume of a single year is about a single
-rack of hard drives, so it is not much more than I could fit in my own
-home. Wonder how much the electricity bill would raise if I had that
-kind of storage? I doubt it would be more than a few tens of thousand
-NOK per year.</p>

- <description><p>While working on identifying and counting movies that can be
-legally shared on the Internet, I also looked at the Norwegian movies
-listed in IMDb. So far I have identified 54 candidates published
-before 1940 that might no longer be protected by norwegian copyright
-law. Of these, only 29 are available at least in part from the
-Norwegian National Library. It can be assumed that the remaining 25
-movies are lost. It seem most useful to identify the copyright status
-of movies that are not lost. To verify that the movie is really no
-longer protected, one need to verify the list of copyright holders and
-figure out if and when they died. I've been able to identify some of
-them, but for some it is hard to figure out when they died.</p>
-
-</p>This is the list of 29 movies both available from the library and
-possibly no longer protected by copyright law. The year range
-(1909-1979 on the first line) is year of publication and last year
-with copyright protection.</p>

-
-To be sure which one of these can be legally shared on the Internet,
-in addition to verifying the right holders list is complete, one need

-
-<p>Perhaps you can help me figuring death year of those missing it, or
-right holders if some are missing in IMDb? It would be nice to have a

-<p>Several of these movies completely lack right holder information in
-IMDb and elsewhere. Without access to a copy of the movie, it is
-often impossible to get the list of people involved in making the
-movie, making it impossible to figure out the correct copyright
-status.</p>
-
-<p>Not listed here are the movies still protected by copyright law.
-Their copyright terms varies from 79 to 144 years, according to the
-information I have available so far. One of the non-lost movies might
-change status next year,
-<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1008007/">Mustads Mono from 1920</a>.

-inspired me to update the scripts I use to track down movies that are

+ <description><p>As a member of the <a href="https://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix
+User Group</a>, I have the pleasure of receiving the
+<a href="https://www.usenix.org/">USENIX</a> magazine
+<a href="https://www.usenix.org/publications/login/">;login:</a>
+several times a year. I rarely have time to read all the articles,
+but try to at least skim through them all as there is a lot of nice
+knowledge passed on there. I even carry the latest issue with me most
+of the time to try to get through all the articles when I have a few
+spare minutes.</p>
+
+<p>The other day I came across a nice article titled
+"<a href="https://www.usenix.org/publications/login/winter2018/oneill">The
+Secure Socket API: TLS as an Operating System Service</a>" with a
+marvellous idea I hope can make it all the way into the POSIX standard.
+The idea is as simple as it is powerful. By introducing a new
+socket() option IPPROTO_TLS to use TLS, and a system wide service to
+handle setting up TLS connections, one both make it trivial to add TLS
+support to any program currently using the POSIX socket API, and gain
+system wide control over certificates, TLS versions and encryption
+systems used. Instead of doing this:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+int socket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+<p>the program code would be doing this:<p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+int socket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TLS);
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+<p>According to the ;login: article, converting a C program to use TLS
+would normally modify only 5-10 lines in the code, which is amazing
+when compared to using for example the OpenSSL API.</p>
+
+<p>The project has set up the
+<a href="https://securesocketapi.org/">https://securesocketapi.org/</a>
+web site to spread the idea, and the code for a kernel module and the
+associated system daemon is available from two github repositories:
+<a href="https://github.com/markoneill/ssa">ssa</a> and
+<a href="https://github.com/markoneill/ssa-daemon">ssa-daemon</a>.
+Unfortunately there is no explicit license information with the code,
+so its copyright status is unclear. A
+<a href="https://github.com/markoneill/ssa/issues/2">request to solve
+this</a> about it has been unsolved since 2018-08-17.</p>
+
+<p>I love the idea of extending socket() to gain TLS support, and
+understand why it is an advantage to implement this as a kernel module
+and system wide service daemon, but can not help to think that it
+would be a lot easier to get projects to move to this way of setting
+up TLS if it was done with a user space approach where programs
+wanting to use this API approach could just link with a wrapper
+library.</p>
+
+<p>I recommend you check out this simple and powerful approach to more
+secure network connections. :)</p>
