- <description><p>Dear lazyweb. I'm planning to set up a small Raspberry Pi computer
-in my car, connected to
-<a href="http://www.dx.com/p/400a-4-0-tft-lcd-digital-monitor-for-vehicle-parking-reverse-camera-1440x272-12v-dc-57776">a
-small screen</a> next to the rear mirror. I plan to hook it up with a
-GPS and a USB wifi card too. The idea is to get my own
-"<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carputer">Carputer</a>". But I
-wonder if someone already created a good free software solution for
-such car computer.</p>
-
-<p>This is my current wish list for such system:</p>
-
-<ul>
-
- <li>Work on Raspberry Pi.</li>
-
- <li>Show current speed limit based on location, and warn if going too
- fast (for example using color codes yellow and red on the screen,
- or make a sound). This could be done either using either data from
- <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">Openstreetmap</a> or OCR
- info gathered from a dashboard camera.</li>

+ <description><p>Rundt omkring i Oslo og Østlandsområdet henger det bokser over
+veiene som jeg har lurt på hva gjør. De har ut fra plassering og
+vinkling sett ut som bokser som sniffer ut et eller annet fra
+forbipasserende trafikk, men det har vært uklart for meg hva det er de
+leser av. Her om dagen tok jeg bilde av en slik boks som henger under
+<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.no/?zoom=19&mlat=59.96396&mlon=10.34443&layers=B00000">ei
+skibru på Sollihøgda</a>:</p>
+
+<p align="center"><img width="60%" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2014-09-13-kapsch-sollihogda-crop.jpeg"></p>
+
+<p>Boksen er tydelig merket «Kapsch >>>», logoen til
+<a href="http://www.kapsch.net/">det sveitsiske selskapet Kapsch</a> som
+blant annet lager sensorsystemer for veitrafikk. Men de lager mye
+forskjellig, og jeg kjente ikke igjen boksen på utseendet etter en
+kjapp titt på produktlista til selskapet.</p>
+
+<p>I og med at boksen henger over veien E16, en riksvei vedlikeholdt
+av Statens Vegvesen, så antok jeg at det burde være mulig å bruke
+REST-API-et som gir tilgang til vegvesenets database over veier,
+skilter og annet veirelatert til å finne ut hva i alle dager dette
+kunne være. De har både
+<a href="https://www.vegvesen.no/nvdb/api/dokumentasjon/datakatalog">en
+datakatalog</a> og
+<a href="https://www.vegvesen.no/nvdb/api/dokumentasjon/sok">et
+søk</a>, der en kan søke etter ulike typer oppføringer innen for et
+gitt geografisk område. Jeg laget et enkelt shell-script for å hente
+ut antall av en gitt type innenfor området skibrua dekker, og listet
+opp navnet på typene som ble funnet. Orket ikke slå opp hvordan
+URL-koding av aktuelle strenger kunne gjøres mer generisk, og brukte
+en stygg sed-linje i stedet.</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+#!/bin/sh
+urlmap() {
+ sed \
+ -e 's/ / /g' -e 's/{/%7B/g' \
+ -e 's/}/%7D/g' -e 's/\[/%5B/g' \

+ -e 's/,/%2C/g' -e 's/\"/%22/g' \
+ -e 's/:/%3A/g'
+}
+
+lookup() {
+ url="$1"
+ curl -s -H 'Accept: application/vnd.vegvesen.nvdb-v1+xml' \
+ "https://www.vegvesen.no/nvdb/api$url" | xmllint --format -
+}
+
+for id in $(seq 1 874) ; do
+ search="{
+ lokasjon: {
+ bbox: \"10.34425,59.96386,10.34458,59.96409\",
+ srid: \"WGS84\"
+ },
+ objektTyper: [{
+ id: $id, antall: 10
+ }]
+}"
+
+ query=/sok?kriterie=$(echo $search | urlmap)
+ if lookup "$query" |
+ grep -q '&lt;totaltAntallReturnert>0&lt;'
+ then
+ :
+ else
+ echo $id
+ lookup "/datakatalog/objekttyper/$id" |grep '^ &lt;navn>'
+ fi
+done
+
+exit 0
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+Aktuelt ID-område 1-874 var riktig i datakatalogen da jeg laget
+scriptet. Det vil endre seg over tid. Skriptet listet så opp
+aktuelle typer i og rundt skibrua:
+

+
+<p>Av disse ser ID 775 og 862 mest relevant ut. ID 775 antar jeg
+refererer til fotoboksen som står like ved brua, mens
+«Reisetidsregistreringspunkt» kanskje kan være boksen som henger der.
+Hvordan finner jeg så ut hva dette kan være for noe. En titt på
+<a href="http://labs.vegdata.no/nvdb-datakatalog/862-Reisetidsregistreringspunkt/">datakatalogsiden
+for ID 862/Reisetidsregistreringspunkt</a> viser at det er finnes 53
+slike målere i Norge, og hvor de er plassert, men gir ellers få
+detaljer. Det er plassert 40 på østlandet og 13 i Trondheimsregionen.
+Men siden nevner «AutoPASS», og hvis en slår opp oppføringen på
+Sollihøgda nevner den «Ciber AS» som ID for eksternt system. (Kan det
+være snakk om
+<a href="http://www.proff.no/selskap/ciber-norge-as/oslo/internettdesign-og-programmering/Z0I3KMF4/">Ciber
+Norge AS</a>, et selskap eid av Ciber Europe Bv?) Et nettsøk på
+ «Ciber AS autopass» fører meg til en artikkel fra NRK Trøndelag i
+ 2013 med tittel
+«<a href="http://www.nrk.no/trondelag/sjekk-dette-hvis-du-vil-unnga-ko-1.11327947">Sjekk
+dette hvis du vil unngå kø</a>». Artikkelen henviser til vegvesenets
+nettside
+<a href="http://www.reisetider.no/reisetid/forside.html">reisetider.no</a>
+som har en
+<a href="http://www.reisetider.no/reisetid/omrade.html?omrade=5">kartside
+for Østlandet</a> som viser at det måles mellom Sandvika og Sollihøgda.
+Det kan dermed se ut til at jeg har funnet ut hva boksene gjør.</p>
+
+<p>Hvis det stemmer, så er dette bokser som leser av AutoPASS-ID-en
+til alle passerende biler med AutoPASS-brikke, og dermed gjør det mulig
+for de som kontrollerer boksene å holde rede på hvor en gitt bil er
+når den passerte et slikt målepunkt. NRK-artikkelen forteller at
+denne informasjonen i dag kun brukes til å koble to
+AutoPASS-brikkepasseringer passeringer sammen for å beregne
+reisetiden, og at bruken er godkjent av Datatilsynet. Det er desverre
+ikke mulig for en sjåfør som passerer under en slik boks å kontrollere
+at AutoPASS-ID-en kun brukes til dette i dag og i fremtiden.</p>
+
+<p>I tillegg til denne type AutoPASS-sniffere vet jeg at det også
+finnes mange automatiske stasjoner som tar betalt pr. passering (aka
+bomstasjoner), og der lagres informasjon om tid, sted og bilnummer i
+10 år. Finnes det andre slike sniffere plassert ut på veiene?</p>
+
+<p>Personlig har jeg valgt å ikke bruke AutoPASS-brikke, for å gjøre
+det vanskeligere og mer kostbart for de som vil invadere privatsfæren
+og holde rede på hvor bilen min beveger seg til enhver tid. Jeg håper
+flere vil gjøre det samme, selv om det gir litt høyere private
+utgifter (dyrere bompassering). Vern om privatsfæren koster i disse
+dager.</p>

+ <title>Speeding up the Debian installer using eatmydata and dpkg-divert</title>
+ <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Speeding_up_the_Debian_installer_using_eatmydata_and_dpkg_divert.html</link>
+ <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Speeding_up_the_Debian_installer_using_eatmydata_and_dpkg_divert.html</guid>
+ <pubDate>Tue, 16 Sep 2014 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
+ <description><p>The <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> installer could be
+a lot quicker. When we install more than 2000 packages in
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux / Debian Edu</a> using
+tasksel in the installer, unpacking the binary packages take forever.
+A part of the slow I/O issue was discussed in
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/613428">bug #613428</a> about too
+much file system sync-ing done by dpkg, which is the package
+responsible for unpacking the binary packages. Other parts (like code
+executed by postinst scripts) might also sync to disk during
+installation. All this sync-ing to disk do not really make sense to
+me. If the machine crash half-way through, I start over, I do not try
+to salvage the half installed system. So the failure sync-ing is
+supposed to protect against, hardware or system crash, is not really
+relevant while the installer is running.</p>
+
+<p>A few days ago, I thought of a way to get rid of all the file
+system sync()-ing in a fairly non-intrusive way, without the need to
+change the code in several packages. The idea is not new, but I have
+not heard anyone propose the approach using dpkg-divert before. It
+depend on the small and clever package
+<a href="https://packages.qa.debian.org/eatmydata">eatmydata</a>, which
+uses LD_PRELOAD to replace the system functions for syncing data to
+disk with functions doing nothing, thus allowing programs to live
+dangerous while speeding up disk I/O significantly. Instead of
+modifying the implementation of dpkg, apt and tasksel (which are the
+packages responsible for selecting, fetching and installing packages),
+it occurred to me that we could just divert the programs away, replace
+them with a simple shell wrapper calling
+"eatmydata&nbsp;$program&nbsp;$@", to get the same effect.
+Two days ago I decided to test the idea, and wrapped up a simple
+implementation for the Debian Edu udeb.</p>
+
+<p>The effect was stunning. In my first test it reduced the running
+time of the pkgsel step (installing tasks) from 64 to less than 44
+minutes (20 minutes shaved off the installation) on an old Dell
+Latitude D505 machine. I am not quite sure what the optimised time
+would have been, as I messed up the testing a bit, causing the debconf
+priority to get low enough for two questions to pop up during
+installation. As soon as I saw the questions I moved the installation
+along, but do not know how long the question were holding up the
+installation. I did some more measurements using Debian Edu Jessie,
+and got these results. The time measured is the time stamp in
+/var/log/syslog between the "pkgsel: starting tasksel" and the
+"pkgsel: finishing up" lines, if you want to do the same measurement
+yourself. In Debian Edu, the tasksel dialog do not show up, and the
+timing thus do not depend on how quickly the user handle the tasksel
+dialog.</p>

+</table></p>
- <li>Set up mesh network to talk to other cars with the same system,

+<p>The test is done using a netinst ISO on a USB stick, so some of the
+time is spent downloading packages. The connection to the Internet
+was 100Mbit/s during testing, so downloading should not be a
+significant factor in the measurement. Download typically took a few
+seconds to a few minutes, depending on the amount of packages being
+installed.</p>
+
+<p>The speedup is implemented by using two hooks in
+<a href="https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/">Debian
+Installer</a>, the pre-pkgsel.d hook to set up the diverts, and the
+finish-install.d hook to remove the divert at the end of the
+installation. I picked the pre-pkgsel.d hook instead of the
+post-base-installer.d hook because I test using an ISO without the
+eatmydata package included, and the post-base-installer.d hook in
+Debian Edu can only operate on packages included in the ISO. The
+negative effect of this is that I am unable to activate this
+optimization for the kernel installation step in d-i. If the code is
+moved to the post-base-installer.d hook, the speedup would be larger
+for the entire installation.</p>
+
+<p>I've implemented this in the
+<a href="https://packages.qa.debian.org/debian-edu-install">debian-edu-install</a>
+git repository, and plan to provide the optimization as part of the
+Debian Edu installation. If you want to test this yourself, you can
+create two files in the installer (or in an udeb). One shell script
+need do go into /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/, with content like this:</p>
- <li>Warn when approaching speed cameras and speed camera ranges
- (speed calculated between two cameras).</li>
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+#!/bin/sh
+set -e
+. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
+info() {
+ logger -t my-pkgsel "info: $*"

+ if [ -x /target/usr/bin/eatmydata ] ; then
+ for bin in dpkg apt-get aptitude tasksel ; do
+ file=/usr/bin/$bin
+ # Test that the file exist and have not been diverted already.
+ if [ -f /target$file ] ; then

- <description><p>I've been following <a href="http://www.getgnash.org/">the Gnash
-project</a> for quite a while now. It is a free software
-implementation of Adobe Flash, both a standalone player and a browser
-plugin. Gnash implement support for the AVM1 format (and not the
-newer AVM2 format - see
-<a href="http://lightspark.github.io/">Lightspark</a> for that one),
-allowing several flash based sites to work. Thanks to the friendly
-developers at Youtube, it also work with Youtube videos, because the
-Javascript code at Youtube detect Gnash and serve a AVM1 player to
-those users. :) Would be great if someone found time to implement AVM2
-support, but it has not happened yet. If you install both Lightspark
-and Gnash, Lightspark will invoke Gnash if it find a AVM1 flash file,
-so you can get both handled as free software. Unfortunately,
-Lightspark so far only implement a small subset of AVM2, and many
-sites do not work yet.</p>
-
-<p>A few months ago, I started looking at
-<a href="http://scan.coverity.com/">Coverity</a>, the static source
-checker used to find heaps and heaps of bugs in free software (thanks
-to the donation of a scanning service to free software projects by the
-company developing this non-free code checker), and Gnash was one of
-the projects I decided to check out. Coverity is able to find lock
-errors, memory errors, dead code and more. A few days ago they even
-extended it to also be able to find the heartbleed bug in OpenSSL.
-There are heaps of checks being done on the instrumented code, and the
-amount of bogus warnings is quite low compared to the other static
-code checkers I have tested over the years.</p>
-
-<p>Since a few weeks ago, I've been working with the other Gnash
-developers squashing bugs discovered by Coverity. I was quite happy
-today when I checked the current status and saw that of the 777 issues
-detected so far, 374 are marked as fixed. This make me confident that
-the next Gnash release will be more stable and more dependable than
-the previous one. Most of the reported issues were and are in the
-test suite, but it also found a few in the rest of the code.</p>
-
-<p>If you want to help out, you find us on
-<a href="https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev">the
-gnash-dev mailing list</a> and on
-<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#gnash">the #gnash channel on
-irc.freenode.net IRC server</a>.</p>
+<p>In Debian Edu, I placed both code fragments in a separate script
+edu-eatmydata-install and call it from the pre-pkgsel.d and
+finish-install.d scripts.</p>
+
+<p>By now you might ask if this change should get into the normal
+Debian installer too? I suspect it should, but am not sure the
+current debian-installer coordinators find it useful enough. It also
+depend on the side effects of the change. I'm not aware of any, but I
+guess we will see if the change is safe after some more testing.
+Perhaps there is some package in Debian depending on sync() and
+fsync() having effect? Perhaps it should go into its own udeb, to
+allow those of us wanting to enable it to do so without affecting
+everyone.</p>

- <description><p>It would be nice if it was easier in Debian to get all the hardware
-related packages relevant for the computer installed automatically.
-So I implemented one, using
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/isenkram">my Isenkram
-package</a>. To use it, install the tasksel and isenkram packages and
-run tasksel as user root. You should be presented with a new option,
-"Hardware specific packages (autodetected by isenkram)". When you
-select it, tasksel will install the packages isenkram claim is fit for
-the current hardware, hot pluggable or not.<p>
-
-<p>The implementation is in two files, one is the tasksel menu entry
-description, and the other is the script used to extract the list of
-packages to install. The first part is in
-<tt>/usr/share/tasksel/descs/isenkram.desc</tt> and look like
-this:</p>

+ <description><p>Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a talk with the
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User Group</a> about
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20140909-sks-keyservers/">the
+OpenPGP keyserver pool sks-keyservers.net</a>, and was very happy to
+learn that there is a large set of publicly available key servers to
+use when looking for peoples public key. So far I have used
+subkeys.pgp.net, and some times wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net when the former
+were misbehaving, but those days are ended. The servers I have used
+up until yesterday have been slow and some times unavailable. I hope
+those problems are gone now.</p>
+
+<p>Behind the round robin DNS entry of the
+<a href="https://sks-keyservers.net/">sks-keyservers.net</a> service
+there is a pool of more than 100 keyservers which are checked every
+day to ensure they are well connected and up to date. It must be
+better than what I have used so far. :)</p>
+
+<p>Yesterdays speaker told me that the service is the default
+keyserver provided by the default configuration in GnuPG, but this do
+not seem to be used in Debian. Perhaps it should?</p>
+
+<p>Anyway, I've updated my ~/.gnupg/options file to now include this
+line:</p>
<p><blockquote><pre>
-Task: isenkram
-Section: hardware
-Description: Hardware specific packages (autodetected by isenkram)
- Based on the detected hardware various hardware specific packages are
- proposed.
-Test-new-install: mark show
-Relevance: 8
-Packages: for-current-hardware
+keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net
</pre></blockquote></p>
-<p>The second part is in
-<tt>/usr/lib/tasksel/packages/for-current-hardware</tt> and look like
-this:</p>
+<p>With GnuPG version 2 one can also locate the keyserver using SRV
+entries in DNS. Just for fun, I did just that at work, so now every
+user of GnuPG at the University of Oslo should find a OpenGPG
+keyserver automatically should their need it:</p>
<p><blockquote><pre>
-#!/bin/sh
-#
-(
- isenkram-lookup
- isenkram-autoinstall-firmware -l
-) | sort -u
+% host -t srv _pgpkey-http._tcp.uio.no
+_pgpkey-http._tcp.uio.no has SRV record 0 100 11371 pool.sks-keyservers.net.
+%
</pre></blockquote></p>
-<p>All in all, a very short and simple implementation making it
-trivial to install the hardware dependent package we all may want to
-have installed on our machines. I've not been able to find a way to
-get tasksel to tell you exactly which packages it plan to install
-before doing the installation. So if you are curious or careful,
-check the output from the isenkram-* command line tools first.</p>
-
-<p>The information about which packages are handling which hardware is
-fetched either from the isenkram package itself in
-/usr/share/isenkram/, from git.debian.org or from the APT package
-database (using the Modaliases header). The APT package database
-parsing have caused a nasty resource leak in the isenkram daemon (bugs
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/719837">#719837</a> and
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/730704">#730704</a>). The cause is in
-the python-apt code (bug
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/745487">#745487</a>), but using a
-workaround I was able to get rid of the file descriptor leak and
-reduce the memory leak from ~30 MiB per hardware detection down to
-around 2 MiB per hardware detection. It should make the desktop
-daemon a lot more useful. The fix is in version 0.7 uploaded to
-unstable today.</p>
-
-<p>I believe the current way of mapping hardware to packages in
-Isenkram is is a good draft, but in the future I expect isenkram to
-use the AppStream data source for this. A proposal for getting proper
-AppStream support into Debian is floating around as
-<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DEP-11">DEP-11</a>, and
-<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2014/Projects#SummerOfCode2014.2FProjects.2FAppStreamDEP11Implementation.AppStream.2FDEP-11_for_the_Debian_Archive">GSoC
-project</a> will take place this summer to improve the situation. I
-look forward to seeing the result, and welcome patches for isenkram to
-start using the information when it is ready.</p>
-
-<p>If you want your package to map to some specific hardware, either
-add a "Xb-Modaliases" header to your control file like I did in
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/pymissile">the pymissile
-package</a> or submit a bug report with the details to the isenkram
-package. See also
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/tags/isenkram/">all my
-blog posts tagged isenkram</a> for details on the notation. I expect
-the information will be migrated to AppStream eventually, but for the
-moment I got no better place to store it.</p>
+<p>Now if only
+<a href="http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-shaw-openpgp-hkp/">the
+HKP lookup protocol</a> supported finding signature paths, I would be
+very happy. It can look up a given key or search for a user ID, but I
+normally do not want that, but to find a trust path from my key to
+another key. Given a user ID or key ID, I would like to find (and
+download) the keys representing a signature path from my key to the
+key in question, to be able to get a trust path between the two keys.
+This is as far as I can tell not possible today. Perhaps something
+for a future version of the protocol?</p>

- <title>FreedomBox milestone - all packages now in Debian Sid</title>

- <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/FreedomBox_milestone___all_packages_now_in_Debian_Sid.html</guid>

- <description><p>The <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">Freedombox
-project</a> is working on providing the software and hardware to make
-it easy for non-technical people to host their data and communication
-at home, and being able to communicate with their friends and family
-encrypted and away from prying eyes. It is still going strong, and
-today a major mile stone was reached.</p>
-
-<p>Today, the last of the packages currently used by the project to
-created the system images were accepted into Debian Unstable. It was
-the freedombox-setup package, which is used to configure the images
-during build and on the first boot. Now all one need to get going is
-the build code from the freedom-maker git repository and packages from
-Debian. And once the freedombox-setup package enter testing, we can
-build everything directly from Debian. :)</p>
-
-<p>Some key packages used by Freedombox are
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/freedombox-setup">freedombox-setup</a>,
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/plinth">plinth</a>,
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/pagekite">pagekite</a>,
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/tor">tor</a>,
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/privoxy">privoxy</a>,
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/owncloud">owncloud</a> and
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/dnsmasq">dnsmasq</a>. There
-are plans to integrate more packages into the setup. User
-documentation is maintained on the Debian wiki. Please
-<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual/Jessie">check out
-the manual</a> and help us improve it.</p>
-
-<p>To test for yourself and create boot images with the FreedomBox
-setup, run this on a Debian machine using a user with sudo rights to
-become root:</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-sudo apt-get install git vmdebootstrap mercurial python-docutils \
- mktorrent extlinux virtualbox qemu-user-static binfmt-support \
- u-boot-tools
-git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/freedombox/freedom-maker.git \
- freedom-maker
-make -C freedom-maker dreamplug-image raspberry-image virtualbox-image
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>Root access is needed to run debootstrap and mount loopback
-devices. See the README in the freedom-maker git repo for more
-details on the build. If you do not want all three images, trim the
-make line. Note that the virtualbox-image target is not really
-virtualbox specific. It create a x86 image usable in kvm, qemu,
-vmware and any other x86 virtual machine environment. You might need
-the version of vmdebootstrap in Jessie to get the build working, as it
-include fixes for a race condition with kpartx.</p>
-
-<p>If you instead want to install using a Debian CD and the preseed
-method, boot a Debian Wheezy ISO and use this boot argument to load
-the preseed values:</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-url=<a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat</a>
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>I have not tested it myself the last few weeks, so I do not know if
-it still work.</p>
-
-<p>If you wonder how to help, one task you could look at is using
-systemd as the boot system. It will become the default for Linux in
-Jessie, so we need to make sure it is usable on the Freedombox. I did
-a simple test a few weeks ago, and noticed dnsmasq failed to start
-during boot when using systemd. I suspect there are other problems
-too. :) To detect problems, there is a test suite included, which can
-be run from the plinth web interface.</p>
-
-<p>Give it a go and let us know how it goes on the mailing list, and help
-us get the new release published. :) Please join us on
-<a href="irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox">IRC (#freedombox on
-irc.debian.org)</a> and
-<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss">the
-mailing list</a> if you want to help make this vision come true.</p>

+ <description><p>Two years later, I am still not sure if it is legal here in Norway
+to use or publish a video in H.264 or MPEG4 format edited by the
+commercially licensed video editors, without limiting the use to
+create "personal" or "non-commercial" videos or get a license
+agreement with <a href="http://www.mpegla.com">MPEG LA</a>. If one
+want to publish and broadcast video in a non-personal or commercial
+setting, it might be that those tools can not be used, or that video
+format can not be used, without breaking their copyright license. I
+am not sure.
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Trenger_en_avtale_med_MPEG_LA_for___publisere_og_kringkaste_H_264_video_.html">Back
+then</a>, I found that the copyright license terms for Adobe Premiere
+and Apple Final Cut Pro both specified that one could not use the
+program to produce anything else without a patent license from MPEG
+LA. The issue is not limited to those two products, though. Other
+much used products like those from Avid and Sorenson Media have terms
+of use are similar to those from Adobe and Apple. The complicating
+factor making me unsure if those terms have effect in Norway or not is
+that the patents in question are not valid in Norway, but copyright

- <title>Språkkoder for POSIX locale i Norge</title>
- <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Spr_kkoder_for_POSIX_locale_i_Norge.html</link>
- <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Spr_kkoder_for_POSIX_locale_i_Norge.html</guid>
- <pubDate>Fri, 11 Apr 2014 21:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
- <description><p>For 12 år siden, skrev jeg et lite notat om
-<a href="http://i18n.skolelinux.no/localekoder.txt">bruk av språkkoder
-i Norge</a>. Jeg ble nettopp minnet på dette da jeg fikk spørsmål om
-notatet fortsatt var aktuelt, og tenkte det var greit å repetere hva
-som fortsatt gjelder. Det jeg skrev da er fortsatt like aktuelt.</p>
-
-<p>Når en velger språk i programmer på unix, så velger en blant mange
-språkkoder. For språk i Norge anbefales følgende språkkoder (anbefalt
-locale i parantes):</p>
-
-<p><dl>
-<dt>nb (nb_NO)</dt><dd>Bokmål i Norge</dd>
-<dt>nn (nn_NO)</dt><dd>Nynorsk i Norge</dd>
-<dt>se (se_NO)</dt><dd>Nordsamisk i Norge</dd>
-</dl></p>
-
-<p>Alle programmer som bruker andre koder bør endres.</p>
-
-<p>Språkkoden bør brukes når .po-filer navngis og installeres. Dette
-er ikke det samme som locale-koden. For Norsk Bokmål, så bør filene
-være navngitt nb.po, mens locale (LANG) bør være nb_NO.</p>
-
-<p>Hvis vi ikke får standardisert de kodene i alle programmene med
-norske oversettelser, så er det umulig å gi LANG-variablen ett innhold
-som fungerer for alle programmer.</p>
-
-<p>Språkkodene er de offisielle kodene fra ISO 639, og bruken av dem i
-forbindelse med POSIX localer er standardisert i RFC 3066 og ISO
-15897. Denne anbefalingen er i tråd med de angitte standardene.</p>
-
-<p>Følgende koder er eller har vært i bruk som locale-verdier for
-"norske" språk. Disse bør unngås, og erstattes når de oppdages:</p>
-
-<p><table>
-<tr><td>norwegian</td><td>-> nb_NO</td></tr>
-<tr><td>bokmål </td><td>-> nb_NO</td></tr>
-<tr><td>bokmal </td><td>-> nb_NO</td></tr>
-<tr><td>nynorsk </td><td>-> nn_NO</td></tr>
-<tr><td>no </td><td>-> nb_NO</td></tr>
-<tr><td>no_NO </td><td>-> nb_NO</td></tr>
-<tr><td>no_NY </td><td>-> nn_NO</td></tr>
-<tr><td>sme_NO </td><td>-> se_NO</td></tr>
-</table></p>
-
-<p>Merk at når det gjelder de samiske språkene, at se_NO i praksis
-henviser til nordsamisk i Norge, mens f.eks. smj_NO henviser til
-lulesamisk. Dette notatet er dog ikke ment å gi råd rundt samiske
-språkkoder, der gjør
-<a href="http://www.divvun.no/">Divvun-prosjektet</a> en bedre
-jobb.</p>

- <description><p>For a while now, I have been looking for a sensible offsite backup
-solution for use at home. My requirements are simple, it must be
-cheap and locally encrypted (in other words, I keep the encryption
-keys, the storage provider do not have access to my private files).
-One idea me and my friends had many years ago, before the cloud
-storage providers showed up, was to use Google mail as storage,
-writing a Linux block device storing blocks as emails in the mail
-service provided by Google, and thus get heaps of free space. On top
-of this one can add encryption, RAID and volume management to have
-lots of (fairly slow, I admit that) cheap and encrypted storage. But
-I never found time to implement such system. But the last few weeks I
-have looked at a system called
-<a href="https://bitbucket.org/nikratio/s3ql/">S3QL</a>, a locally
-mounted network backed file system with the features I need.</p>
-
-<p>S3QL is a fuse file system with a local cache and cloud storage,
-handling several different storage providers, any with Amazon S3,
-Google Drive or OpenStack API. There are heaps of such storage
-providers. S3QL can also use a local directory as storage, which
-combined with sshfs allow for file storage on any ssh server. S3QL
-include support for encryption, compression, de-duplication, snapshots
-and immutable file systems, allowing me to mount the remote storage as
-a local mount point, look at and use the files as if they were local,
-while the content is stored in the cloud as well. This allow me to
-have a backup that should survive fire. The file system can not be
-shared between several machines at the same time, as only one can
-mount it at the time, but any machine with the encryption key and
-access to the storage service can mount it if it is unmounted.</p>
-
-<p>It is simple to use. I'm using it on Debian Wheezy, where the
-package is included already. So to get started, run <tt>apt-get
-install s3ql</tt>. Next, pick a storage provider. I ended up picking
-Greenqloud, after reading their nice recipe on
-<a href="https://greenqloud.zendesk.com/entries/44611757-How-To-Use-S3QL-to-mount-a-StorageQloud-bucket-on-Debian-Wheezy">how
-to use S3QL with their Amazon S3 service</a>, because I trust the laws
-in Iceland more than those in USA when it come to keeping my personal
-data safe and private, and thus would rather spend money on a company
-in Iceland. Another nice recipe is available from the article
-<a href="http://www.admin-magazine.com/HPC/Articles/HPC-Cloud-Storage">S3QL
-Filesystem for HPC Storage</a> by Jeff Layton in the HPC section of
-Admin magazine. When the provider is picked, figure out how to get
-the API key needed to connect to the storage API. With Greencloud,
-the key did not show up until I had added payment details to my
-account.</p>
-
-<p>Armed with the API access details, it is time to create the file
-system. First, create a new bucket in the cloud. This bucket is the
-file system storage area. I picked a bucket name reflecting the
-machine that was going to store data there, but any name will do.
-I'll refer to it as <tt>bucket-name</tt> below. In addition, one need
-the API login and password, and a locally created password. Store it
-all in ~root/.s3ql/authinfo2 like this:

+ <description><p>The complete and free “out of the box” software solution for
+schools, <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu /
+Skolelinux</a>, is used quite a lot in Germany, and one of the people
+involved is Bernd Zeitzen, who show up on the project mailing lists
+from time to time with interesting questions and tips on how to adjust
+the setup. I managed to interview him this summer.</p>
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-[s3c]
-storage-url: s3c://s.greenqloud.com:443/bucket-name
-backend-login: API-login
-backend-password: API-password
-fs-passphrase: local-password
-</pre></blockquote></p>
+<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-<p>I create my local passphrase using <tt>pwget 50</tt> or similar,
-but any sensible way to create a fairly random password should do it.
-Armed with these details, it is now time to run mkfs, entering the API
-details and password to create it:</p>
+<p>My name is Bernd Zeitzen and I'm married with Hedda, a self
+employed physiotherapist. My former profession is tool maker, but I
+haven't worked for 30 years in this job. 30 years ago I started to
+support my wife and become her officeworker and a few years later the
+administrator for a small computer network, today based on Ubuntu
+Server (Samba, OpenVPN). For her daily work she has to use Windows
+Desktops because the software she needs to organize her business only
+works with Windows . :-(</p>
+
+<p>In 1988 we started with one PC and DOS, then I learned to use
+Windows 98, 2000, XP, …, 8, Ubuntu, MacOSX. Today we are running a
+Linux server with 6 Windows clients and 10 persons (teacher of
+children with special needs, speech therapist, occupational therapist,
+psychologist and officeworkers) using our Samba shares via OpenVPN to
+work with the documentations of our patients.</p>

+<p>Two years ago a friend of mine asked me, if I want to get a job in
+his school (<a href="http://www.gymnasium-harsewinkel.de/">Gymnasium
+Harsewinkel</a>). They started with Skolelinux / Debian Edu and they
+were looking for people to give support to the teachers using the
+software and the network and teaching the pupils increasing their
+computer skills in optional lessons. I'm spending 4-6 hours a week
+with this job.</p>
-<p>The file system is now ready for use. I use rsync to store my
-backups in it, and as the metadata used by rsync is downloaded at
-mount time, no network traffic (and storage cost) is triggered by
-running rsync. To unmount, one should not use the normal umount
-command, as this will not flush the cache to the cloud storage, but
-instead running the umount.s3ql command like this:
+<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-# umount.s3ql /s3ql
-#
-</pre></blockquote></p>
+<p>The independence.</p>
-<p>There is a fsck command available to check the file system and
-correct any problems detected. This can be used if the local server
-crashes while the file system is mounted, to reset the "already
-mounted" flag. This is what it look like when processing a working
-file system:</p>
+<p>First: Every person is allowed to use, share and develop the
+software. Even if you are poor, you are allowed to use the software
+included in Skolelinux/Debian Edu and all the other Free Software.</p>
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-# fsck.s3ql --force --ssl s3c://s.greenqloud.com:443/bucket-name
-Using cached metadata.

-#
-</pre></blockquote></p>
+<p>Second: The software runs on old machines and this gives us the
+possibility to recycle computers, weeded out from offices. The
+servers and desktops are running for more than two years and they are
+working reliable. </p>
-<p>Thanks to the cache, working on files that fit in the cache is very
-quick, about the same speed as local file access. Uploading large
-amount of data is to me limited by the bandwidth out of and into my
-house. Uploading 685 MiB with a 100 MiB cache gave me 305 kiB/s,
-which is very close to my upload speed, and downloading the same
-Debian installation ISO gave me 610 kiB/s, close to my download speed.
-Both were measured using <tt>dd</tt>. So for me, the bottleneck is my
-network, not the file system code. I do not know what a good cache
-size would be, but suspect that the cache should e larger than your
-working set.</p>
-
-<p>I mentioned that only one machine can mount the file system at the
-time. If another machine try, it is told that the file system is
-busy:</p>
+<p>We have two servers (one tjener and one terminal server), 45
+workstations in three classrooms and seven laptops as a mobile
+solution for all classrooms. These machines are all booting from the
+terminal server. In the moment we are installing 30 laptops as mobile
+workstations. Then the pupils have the possibility to work with these
+machines in their classrooms. Internet access is realized by a WLAN
+router, connected to the schools network. This is all done without a
+dedicated system administrator or a computer science teacher.</p>
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-# mount.s3ql --cachedir /var/lib/s3ql-cache --authfile /root/.s3ql/authinfo2 \
- --ssl --allow-root s3c://s.greenqloud.com:443/bucket-name /s3ql
-Using 8 upload threads.
-Backend reports that fs is still mounted elsewhere, aborting.
-#
-</pre></blockquote></p>
+<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
-<p>The file content is uploaded when the cache is full, while the
-metadata is uploaded once every 24 hour by default. To ensure the
-file system content is flushed to the cloud, one can either umount the
-file system, or ask S3QL to flush the cache and metadata using
-s3qlctrl:
+<p>Teachers and pupils are Windows users. &lt;Irony on&gt; And Linux
+isn't cool. It's software for freaks using the command line. &lt;Irony
+off&gt; They don't realize the stability of the system. </p>
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-# s3qlctrl upload-meta /s3ql
-# s3qlctrl flushcache /s3ql
-#
-</pre></blockquote></p>
+<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
-<p>If you are curious about how much space your data uses in the
-cloud, and how much compression and deduplication cut down on the
-storage usage, you can use s3qlstat on the mounted file system to get
-a report:</p>
+<p>Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Ubuntu Server 12.04 (Samba,
+Apache, MySQL, Joomla!, … and Skolelinux / Debian Edu)</p>
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-# s3qlstat /s3ql
-Directory entries: 9141
-Inodes: 9143
-Data blocks: 8851
-Total data size: 22049.38 MB
-After de-duplication: 21955.46 MB (99.57% of total)
-After compression: 21877.28 MB (99.22% of total, 99.64% of de-duplicated)
-Database size: 2.39 MB (uncompressed)
-(some values do not take into account not-yet-uploaded dirty blocks in cache)
-#
-</pre></blockquote></p>
+<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
-<p>I mentioned earlier that there are several possible suppliers of
-storage. I did not try to locate them all, but am aware of at least
-<a href="https://www.greenqloud.com/">Greenqloud</a>,
-<a href="http://drive.google.com/">Google Drive</a>,
-<a href="http://aws.amazon.com/s3/">Amazon S3 web serivces</a>,
-<a href="http://www.rackspace.com/">Rackspace</a> and
-<a href="http://crowncloud.net/">Crowncloud</A>. The latter even
-accept payment in Bitcoin. Pick one that suit your need. Some of
-them provide several GiB of free storage, but the prize models are
-quite different and you will have to figure out what suits you
-best.</p>
-
-<p>While researching this blog post, I had a look at research papers
-and posters discussing the S3QL file system. There are several, which
-told me that the file system is getting a critical check by the
-science community and increased my confidence in using it. One nice
-poster is titled
-"<a href="http://www.lanl.gov/orgs/adtsc/publications/science_highlights_2013/docs/pg68_69.pdf">An
-Innovative Parallel Cloud Storage System using OpenStack’s SwiftObject
-Store and Transformative Parallel I/O Approach</a>" by Hsing-Bung
-Chen, Benjamin McClelland, David Sherrill, Alfred Torrez, Parks Fields
-and Pamela Smith. Please have a look.</p>
-
-<p>Given my problems with different file systems earlier, I decided to
-check out the mounted S3QL file system to see if it would be usable as
-a home directory (in other word, that it provided POSIX semantics when
-it come to locking and umask handling etc). Running
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Testing_if_a_file_system_can_be_used_for_home_directories___.html">my
-test code to check file system semantics</a>, I was happy to discover that
-no error was found. So the file system can be used for home
-directories, if one chooses to do so.</p>
-
-<p>If you do not want a locally file system, and want something that
-work without the Linux fuse file system, I would like to mention the
-<a href="http://www.tarsnap.com/">Tarsnap service</a>, which also
-provide locally encrypted backup using a command line client. It have
-a nicer access control system, where one can split out read and write
-access, allowing some systems to write to the backup and others to
-only read from it.</p>
-
-<p>As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
-activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
-<b><a href="bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a></b>.</p>
+<p>In Germany we have the situation: every school is free to decide
+which software they want to use. This decision is influenced by
+teachers who learned to use Windows and MS Office. They buy a PC with
+Windows preinstalled and an additional testing version of MS
+Office. They don't know about the possibility to use Free Software
+instead. Another problem are the publisher of school books. They
+develop their software, added to the school books, for Windows.</p>

- <description><p>Microsoft have announced that Windows XP reaches its end of life
-2014-04-08, in 7 days. But there are heaps of machines still running
-Windows XP, and depending on Windows XP to run their applications, and
-upgrading will be expensive, both when it comes to money and when it
-comes to the amount of effort needed to migrate from Windows XP to a
-new operating system. Some obvious options (buy new a Windows
-machine, buy a MacOSX machine, install Linux on the existing machine)
-are already well known and covered elsewhere. Most of them involve
-leaving the user applications installed on Windows XP behind and
-trying out replacements or updated versions. In this blog post I want
-to mention one strange bird that allow people to keep the hardware and
-the existing Windows XP applications and run them on a free software
-operating system that is Windows XP compatible.</p>
-
-<p><a href="http://www.reactos.org/">ReactOS</a> is a free software
-operating system (GNU GPL licensed) working on providing a operating
-system that is binary compatible with Windows, able to run windows
-programs directly and to use Windows drivers for hardware directly.
-The project goal is for Windows user to keep their existing machines,
-drivers and software, and gain the advantages from user a operating
-system without usage limitations caused by non-free licensing. It is
-a Windows clone running directly on the hardware, so quite different
-from the approach taken by <a href="http://www.winehq.org/">the Wine
-project</a>, which make it possible to run Windows binaries on
-Linux.</p>
-
-<p>The ReactOS project share code with the Wine project, so most
-shared libraries available on Windows are already implemented already.
-There is also a software manager like the one we are used to on Linux,
-allowing the user to install free software applications with a simple
-click directly from the Internet. Check out the
-<a href="http://www.reactos.org/screenshots">screen shots on the
-project web site</a> for an idea what it look like (it looks just like
-Windows before metro).</p>
-
-<p>I do not use ReactOS myself, preferring Linux and Unix like
-operating systems. I've tested it, and it work fine in a virt-manager
-virtual machine. The browser, minesweeper, notepad etc is working
-fine as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, my main test application
-is the software included on a CD with the Lego Mindstorms NXT, which
-seem to install just fine from CD but fail to leave any binaries on
-the disk after the installation. So no luck with that test software.
-No idea why, but hope someone else figure out and fix the problem.
-I've tried the ReactOS Live ISO on a physical machine, and it seemed
-to work just fine. If you like Windows and want to keep running your
-old Windows binaries, check it out by
-<a href="http://www.reactos.org/download">downloading</a> the
-installation CD, the live CD or the preinstalled virtual machine
-image.</p>
+ <title>From English wiki to translated PDF and epub via Docbook</title>

+ <description><p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project</a> provide an instruction manual for teachers, system
+administrators and other users that contain useful tips for setting up
+and maintaining a Debian Edu installation. This text is about how the
+text processing of this manual is handled in the project.</p>
+
+<p>One goal of the project is to provide information in the native
+language of its users, and for this we need to handle translations.
+But we also want to make sure each language contain the same
+information, so for this we need a good way to keep the translations
+in sync. And we want it to be easy for our users to improve the
+documentation, avoiding the need to learn special formats or tools to
+contribute, and the obvious way to do this is to make it possible to
+edit the documentation using a web browser. We also want it to be
+easy for translators to keep the translation up to date, and give them
+help in figuring out what need to be translated. Here is the list of
+tools and the process we have found trying to reach all these
+goals.</p>
+
+<p>We maintain the authoritative source of our manual in the
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/">Debian
+wiki</a>, as several wiki pages written in English. It consist of one
+front page with references to the different chapters, several pages
+for each chapter, and finally one "collection page" gluing all the
+chapters together into one large web page (aka
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/AllInOne">the
+AllInOne page</a>). The AllInOne page is the one used for further
+processing and translations. Thanks to the fact that the
+<a href="http://moinmo.in/">MoinMoin</a> installation on
+wiki.debian.org support exporting pages in
+<a href="http://www.docbook.org/">the Docbook format</a>, we can fetch
+the list of pages to export using the raw version of the AllInOne
+page, loop over each of them to generate a Docbook XML version of the
+manual. This process also download images and transform image
+references to use the locally downloaded images. The generated
+Docbook XML files are slightly broken, so some post-processing is done
+using the <tt>documentation/scripts/get_manual</tt> program, and the
+result is a nice Docbook XML file (debian-edu-wheezy-manual.xml) and
+a handfull of images. The XML file can now be used to generate PDF, HTML
+and epub versions of the English manual. This is the basic step of
+our process, making PDF (using dblatex), HTML (using xsltproc) and
+epub (using dbtoepub) version from Docbook XML, and the resulting files
+are placed in the debian-edu-doc-en binary package.</p>
+
+<p>But English documentation is not enough for us. We want translated
+documentation too, and we want to make it easy for translators to
+track the English original. For this we use the
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/poxml.html">poxml</a> package,
+which allow us to transform the English Docbook XML file into a
+translation file (a .pot file), usable with the normal gettext based
+translation tools used by those translating free software. The pot
+file is used to create and maintain translation files (several .po
+files), which the translations update with the native language
+translations of all titles, paragraphs and blocks of text in the
+original. The next step is combining the original English Docbook XML
+and the translation file (say debian-edu-wheezy-manual.nb.po), to
+create a translated Docbook XML file (in this case
+debian-edu-wheezy-manual.nb.xml). This translated (or partly
+translated, if the translation is not complete) Docbook XML file can
+then be used like the original to create a PDF, HTML and epub version
+of the documentation.</p>
+
+<p>The translators use different tools to edit the .po files. We
+recommend using
+<a href="http://www.kde.org/applications/development/lokalize/">lokalize</a>,
+while some use emacs and vi, others can use web based editors like
+<a href="http://pootle.translatehouse.org/">Poodle</a> or
+<a href="https://www.transifex.com/">Transifex</a>. All we care about
+is where the .po file end up, in our git repository. Updated
+translations can either be committed directly to git, or submitted as
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/src:debian-edu-doc">bug reports
+against the debian-edu-doc package</a>.</p>
+
+<p>One challenge is images, which both might need to be translated (if
+they show translated user applications), and are needed in different
+formats when creating PDF and HTML versions (epub is a HTML version in
+this regard). For this we transform the original PNG images to the
+needed density and format during build, and have a way to provide
+translated images by storing translated versions in
+images/$LANGUAGECODE/. I am a bit unsure about the details here. The
+package maintainers know more.</p>
+
+<p>If you wonder what the result look like, we provide
+<a href="http://maintainer.skolelinux.org/debian-edu-doc/">the content
+of the documentation packages on the web</a>. See for example the
+<a href="http://maintainer.skolelinux.org/debian-edu-doc/it/debian-edu-wheezy-manual.pdf">Italian
+PDF version</a> or the
+<a href="http://maintainer.skolelinux.org/debian-edu-doc/de/debian-edu-wheezy-manual.html">German
+HTML version</a>. We do not yet build the epub version by default,
+but perhaps it will be done in the future.</p>
+

+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/debian-edu-doc.html">the
+debian-edu-doc package</a>,

-keep gaining new users. Some weeks ago, a person showed up on IRC,
-<a href="irc://irc.debian.org/#debian-edu">#debian-edu</a>, with a
-wish to contribute, and I managed to get a interview with this great
-contributor Roger Marsal to learn more about his background.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-
-<p>My name is Roger Marsal, I'm 27 years old (1986 generation) and I
-live in Barcelona, Spain. I've got a strong business background and I
-work as a patrimony manager and as a real estate agent. Additionally,
-I've co-founded a British based tech company that is nowadays on the
-last development phase of a new social networking concept.</p>
-
-<p>I'm a Linux enthusiast that started its journey with Ubuntu four years
-ago and have recently switched to Debian seeking rock solid stability
-and as a necessary step to gain expertise.</p>
-
-<p>In a nutshell, I spend my days working and learning as much as I
-can to face both my job, entrepreneur project and feed my Linux
-hunger.</p>

+ <description><p>Jeg har fortsatt behov for å kunne laste ned innslag fra NRKs

+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK.html">min

+ <description><p>Dear lazyweb. I'm planning to set up a small Raspberry Pi computer
+in my car, connected to
+<a href="http://www.dx.com/p/400a-4-0-tft-lcd-digital-monitor-for-vehicle-parking-reverse-camera-1440x272-12v-dc-57776">a
+small screen</a> next to the rear mirror. I plan to hook it up with a
+GPS and a USB wifi card too. The idea is to get my own
+"<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carputer">Carputer</a>". But I
+wonder if someone already created a good free software solution for
+such car computer.</p>
-<p>I discovered the <a href="http://www.ltsp.org/">LTSP</a> advantages
-with "Ubuntu 12.04 alternate install" and after a year of use I
-started looking for an alternative. Even though I highly value and
-respect the Ubuntu project, I thought it was necessary for me to
-change to a more robust and stable alternative. As far as I was using
-Debian on my personal laptop I thought it would be fine to install
-Debian and configure an LTSP server myself. Surprised, I discovered
-that the Debian project also supported a kind of Edubuntu equivalent,
-and after having some pain I obtained a Debian Edu network up and
-running. I just loved it.</p>
+<p>This is my current wish list for such system:</p>
-<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
+<ul>
-<p>I found a main advantage in that, once you know "the tips and
-tricks", a new installation just works out of the box. It's the most
-complete alternative I've found to create an LTSP network. All the
-other distributions seems to be made of plastic, Debian Edu seems to
-be made of steel.</p>
+ <li>Work on Raspberry Pi.</li>
-<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
+ <li>Show current speed limit based on location, and warn if going too
+ fast (for example using color codes yellow and red on the screen,
+ or make a sound). This could be done either using either data from
+ <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">Openstreetmap</a> or OCR
+ info gathered from a dashboard camera.</li>
-<p>I found two main disadvantages.</p>
+ <li>Track automatic toll road passes and their cost, show total spent
+ and make it possible to calculate toll costs for planned
+ route.</li>
-<p>I'm not an expert but I've got notions and I had to spent a considerable
-amount of time trying to bring up a standard network topology. I'm quite
-stubborn and I just worked until I did but I'm sure many people with few
-resources (not big schools, but academies for example) would have switched
-or dropped.</p>
+ <li>Collect GPX tracks for use with OpenStreetMap.</li>
-<p>It's amazing how such a complex system like Debian Edu has achieved
-this out-of-the-box state. Even though tweaking without breaking gets
-more difficult, as more factors have to be considered. This can
-discourage many people too.</p>
+ <li>Automatically detect and use any wireless connection to connect
+ to home server. Try IP over DNS
+ (<a href="http://dev.kryo.se/iodine/">iodine</a>) or ICMP
+ (<a href="http://code.gerade.org/hans/">Hans</a>) if direct
+ connection do not work.</li>
-<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
+ <li>Set up mesh network to talk to other cars with the same system,
+ or some standard car mesh protocol.</li>
-<p>I use Debian, Firefox, Okular, Inkscape, LibreOffice and
-Virtualbox.</p>
+ <li>Warn when approaching speed cameras and speed camera ranges
+ (speed calculated between two cameras).</li>
+ <li>Suport dashboard/front facing camera to discover speed limits and
+ run OCR to track registration number of passing cars.</li>
-<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
+</ul>
-<p>I don't think there is a need for a particular strategy. The free
-attribute in both "freedom" and "no price" meanings is what will
-really bring free software to schools. In my experience I can think of
-the <a href="http://www.r-project.org/">"R" statistical language</a>; a
-few years a ago was an extremely nerd tool for university people.
-Today it's being increasingly used to teach statistics at many
-different level of studies. I believe free and open software will
-increasingly gain popularity, but I'm sure schools will be one of the
-first scenarios where this will happen.</p>

- <description><p><a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Foreningen NUUG</a> melder i natt at
-NRK nå har bestemt seg for
-<a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/NRK_viser_filmen_om_Datalagringsdirektivet_f_rste_gang_2014_03_31.shtml">når
-den norske dokumentarfilmen om datalagringsdirektivet skal
-sendes</a> (se <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2832844/">IMDB</a>
-for detaljer om filmen) . Første visning blir på NRK2 mandag
-2014-03-31 kl. 19:50, og deretter visninger onsdag 2014-04-02
-kl. 12:30, fredag 2014-04-04 kl. 19:40 og søndag 2014-04-06 kl. 15:10.
-Jeg har sett dokumentaren, og jeg anbefaler enhver å se den selv. Som
-oppvarming mens vi venter anbefaler jeg Bjørn Stærks kronikk i
-Aftenposten fra i går,
-<a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kronikker/Autoritar-gjokunge-7514915.html">Autoritær
-gjøkunge</a>, der han gir en grei skisse av hvor ille det står til med
-retten til privatliv og beskyttelsen av demokrati i Norge og resten
-verden, og helt riktig slår fast at det er vi i databransjen som
-sitter med nøkkelen til å gjøre noe med dette. Jeg har involvert meg
-i prosjektene <a href="http://www.dugnadsnett.no/">dugnadsnett.no</a>
-og <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">FreedomBox</a> for å
-forsøke å gjøre litt selv for å bedre situasjonen, men det er mye
-hardt arbeid fra mange flere enn meg som gjenstår før vi kan sies å ha
-gjenopprettet balansen.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg regner med at nettutgaven dukker opp på
-<a href="http://tv.nrk.no/program/koid75005313/tema-dine-digitale-spor-datalagringsdirektivet">NRKs
-side om filmen om datalagringsdirektivet</a> om fem dager. Hold et
-øye med siden, og tips venner og slekt om at de også bør se den.</p>
