+ <description><p>The last few days I came across a few good causes that should get
+wider attention. I recommend signing and donating to each one of
+these. :)</p>
+
+<p>Via <a href="http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2013/18/">Debian
+Project News for 2013-10-14</a> I came across the Outreach Program for
+Women program which is a Google Summer of Code like initiative to get
+more women involved in free software. One debian sponsor has offered
+to match <a href="http://debian.ch/opw2013">any donation done to Debian
+earmarked</a> for this initiative. I donated a few minutes ago, and
+hope you will to. :)</p>
+
+<p>And the Electronic Frontier Foundation just announced plans to
+create <a href="https://supporters.eff.org/donate/nsa-videos">video
+documentaries about the excessive spying</a> on every Internet user that
+take place these days, and their need to fund the work. I've already
+donated. Are you next?</p>
+
+<p>For my Norwegian audience, the organisation Studentenes og
+Akademikernes Internasjonale Hjelpefond is collecting signatures for a
+statement under the heading
+<a href="http://saih.no/Bloggers_United/">Bloggers United for Open
+Access</a> for those of us asking for more focus on open access in the
+Norwegian government. So far 499 signatures. I hope you will sign it
+too.</p>

+ <description><p>Wireless mesh networks are self organising and self healing
+networks that can be used to connect computers across small and large
+areas, depending on the radio technology used. Normal wifi equipment
+can be used to create home made radio networks, and there are several
+successful examples like
+<a href="http://www.freifunk.net/">Freifunk</a> and
+<a href="http://www.awmn.net/">Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network</a>
+(see
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_community_networks_by_region#Greece">wikipedia
+for a large list</a>) around the globe. To give you an idea how it
+work, check out the nice overview of the Kiel Freifunk community which
+can be seen from their
+<a href="http://freifunk.in-kiel.de/ffmap/nodes.html">dynamically
+updated node graph and map</a>, where one can see how the mesh nodes
+automatically handle routing and recover from nodes disappearing.
+There is also a small community mesh network group in Oslo, Norway,
+and that is the main topic of this blog post.</p>
+
+<p>I've wanted to check out mesh networks for a while now, and hoped
+to do it as part of my involvement with the <a
+href="http://www.nuug.no/">NUUG member organisation</a> community, and
+my recent involvement in
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">the Freedombox project</a>
+finally lead me to give mesh networks some priority, as I suspect a
+Freedombox should use mesh networks to connect neighbours and family
+when possible, given that most communication between people are
+between those nearby (as shown for example by research on Facebook
+communication patterns). It also allow people to communicate without
+any central hub to tap into for those that want to listen in on the
+private communication of citizens, which have become more and more
+important over the years.</p>
+
+<p>So far I have only been able to find one group of people in Oslo
+working on community mesh networks, over at the hack space
+<a href="http://hackeriet.no/">Hackeriet</a> at Husmania. They seem to
+have started with some Freifunk based effort using OLSR, called
+<a href="http://oslo.freifunk.net/index.php?title=Main_Page">the Oslo
+Freifunk project</a>, but that effort is now dead and the people
+behind it have moved on to a batman-adv based system called
+<a href="http://meshfx.org/trac">meshfx</a>. Unfortunately the wiki
+site for the Oslo Freifunk project is no longer possible to update to
+reflect this fact, so the old project page can't be updated to point to
+the new project. A while back, the people at Hackeriet invited people
+from the Freifunk community to Oslo to talk about mesh networks. I
+came across this video where Hans Jørgen Lysglimt interview the
+speakers about this talk (from
+<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Kd7CLkhSY">youtube</a>):</p>
+
+<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N2Kd7CLkhSY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
+
+<p>I mentioned OLSR and batman-adv, which are mesh routing protocols.
+There are heaps of different protocols, and I am still struggling to
+figure out which one would be "best" for some definitions of best, but
+given that the community mesh group in Oslo is so small, I believe it
+is best to hook up with the existing one instead of trying to create a
+completely different setup, and thus I have decided to focus on
+batman-adv for now. It sure help me to know that the very cool
+<a href="http://www.servalproject.org/">Serval project in Australia</a>
+is using batman-adv as their meshing technology when it create a self
+organizing and self healing telephony system for disaster areas and
+less industrialized communities. Check out this cool video presenting
+that project (from
+<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30qNfzJCQOA">youtube</a>):</p>
+
+<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/30qNfzJCQOA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
+
+<p>According to the wikipedia page on
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network">Wireless
+mesh network</a> there are around 70 competing schemes for routing
+packets across mesh networks, and OLSR, B.A.T.M.A.N. and
+B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced are protocols used by several free software
+based community mesh networks.</p>
+
+<p>The batman-adv protocol is a bit special, as it provide layer 2
+(as in ethernet ) routing, allowing ipv4 and ipv6 to work on the same
+network. One way to think about it is that it provide a mesh based
+vlan you can bridge to or handle like any other vlan connected to your
+computer. The required drivers are already in the Linux kernel at
+least since Debian Wheezy, and it is fairly easy to set up. A
+<a href="http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide">good
+introduction</a> is available from the Open Mesh project. These are
+the key settings needed to join the Oslo meshfx network:</p>
+
+<p><table>
+<tr><th>Setting</th><th>Value</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Protocol / kernel module</td><td>batman-adv</td></tr>
+<tr><td>ESSID</td><td>meshfx@hackeriet</td></tr>
+<td>Channel / Frequency</td><td>11 / 2462</td></tr>
+<td>Cell ID</td><td>02:BA:00:00:00:01</td>
+</table></p>
+
+<p>The reason for setting ad-hoc wifi Cell ID is to work around bugs
+in firmware used in wifi card and wifi drivers. (See a nice post from
+VillageTelco about
+"<a href="http://tiebing.blogspot.no/2009/12/ad-hoc-cell-splitting-re-post-original.html">Information
+about cell-id splitting, stuck beacons, and failed IBSS merges!</a>
+for details.) When these settings are activated and you have some
+other mesh node nearby, your computer will be connected to the mesh
+network and can communicate with any mesh node that is connected to
+any of the nodes in your network of nodes. :)</p>
+
+<p>My initial plan was to reuse my old Linksys WRT54GL as a mesh node,
+but that seem to be very hard, as I have not been able to locate a
+firmware supporting batman-adv. If anyone know how to use that old
+wifi access point with batman-adv these days, please let me know.</p>
+
+<p>If you find this project interesting and want to join, please join
+us on IRC, either channel
+<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#oslohackerspace">#oslohackerspace</a>
+or <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#nuug">#nuug</a> on
+irc.freenode.net.</p>
+
+<p>While investigating mesh networks in Oslo, I came across an old
+research paper from the university of Stavanger and Telenor Research
+and Innovation called
+<a href="http://folk.uio.no/paalee/publications/netrel-egeland-iswcs-2008.pdf">The
+reliability of wireless backhaul mesh networks</a> and elsewhere
+learned that Telenor have been experimenting with mesh networks at
+Grünerløkka in Oslo. So mesh networks are also interesting for
+commercial companies, even though Telenor discovered that it was hard
+to figure out a good business plan for mesh networking and as far as I
+know have closed down the experiment. Perhaps Telenor or others would
+be interested in a cooperation?</p>
+
+<p><strong>Update 2013-10-12</strong>: I was just
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2013-October/005900.html">told
+by the Serval project developers</a> that they no longer use
+batman-adv (but are compatible with it), but their own crypto based
+mesh system.</p>

+ <description><p>The other day I was pleased and surprised to discover that Marcelo
+Salvador had published a
+<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-GgpdqgLFc">video on
+Youtube</a> showing how to install the standalone Debian Edu /
+Skolelinux profile. This is the profile intended for use at home or
+on laptops that should not be integrated into the provided network
+services (no central home directory, no Kerberos / LDAP directory etc,
+in other word a single user machine). The result is 11 minutes long,
+and show some user applications (seem to be rather randomly picked).
+Missed a few of my favorites like celestia, planets and chromium
+showing the <a href="http://www.zygotebody.com/">Zygote Body 3D model
+of the human body</a>, but I guess he did not know about those or find
+other programs more interesting. :) And the video do not show the
+advantages I believe is one of the most valuable featuers in Debian
+Edu, its central school server making it possible to run hundreds of
+computers without hard drives by installing one central
+<a href="http://www.ltsp.org/">LTSP server</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Anyway, check out the video, embedded below and linked to above:</p>

+ <description><p>A few hours ago, the announcement for the first stable release of
+Debian Edu Wheezy went out from the Debian publicity team. The
+complete announcement text can be found at
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20130928">the Debian News
+section</a>, translated to several languages. Please check it out.</p>
+
+<p>There is one minor known problem that we will fix very soon. One
+can not install a amd64 Thin Client Server using PXE, as the /var/
+partition is too small. A workaround is to extend the partition (use
+lvresize + resize2fs in tty 2 while installing).</p>

+
+<p>On other news, I am happy to report that Freedombox based on Debian
+Jessie is coming along quite well, and soon both Owncloud and using
+Tor should be available for testers of the Freedombox solution. :) In
+a few weeks I hope everything needed to test it is included in Debian.
+The withsqlite package is already in Debian, and the plinth package is
+pending in NEW. The third and vital part of that puzzle is the
+metapackage/setup framework, which is still pending an upload. Join

+<p>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</p>
+
+<p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
+on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
+configured school network. Immediately after installation a school
+server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
+waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
+Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
+initial installation of the main server from CD or USB stick all other
+machines can be installed via the network. The provided school server
+provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service,
+centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other
+services. The desktop contains more than 60 educational software
+packages and more are available from the Debian archive, and schools
+can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE and Xfce desktop environment.</p>
+
+<p>This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
+this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
+Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p>Notes for upgrades from Alpha Prereleases</p>
+
+<p>Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
+versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
+release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
+deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
+gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined on the mailing list. (2)
+Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both contained admin
+password placeholders with the password hashes found in the old one
+(backup copy!). In both cases all users need to change their password
+to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home
+directory.</p>

- <title>Bitcoin er ikke anonymt - føres Stortinget bak lyset av finansministeren?</title>

- <description><p><a href="http://bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a> er mye i mediene for
-tiden. Jeg følger med via Mylder for å finne
-<a href="http://mylder.no/?drill=bitcoin">artikler som omtaler
-temaet</a>, og takket være dette oppdaget jeg at stortingsrepresentant
-Ketil Solvik-Olsen fra FrP nylig har spurt finansminister Sigbjørn
-Johnsen om hans syn på Bitcoin, og
-<a href="http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Sporsmal/Skriftlige-sporsmal-og-svar/Skriftlig-sporsmal/?qid=57052">fått
-svar for noen dager siden</a>. Jeg bet meg spesielt merke til
-følgende formulering fra finansministeren:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-«Det er også utfordringer ved at handel med Bitcoins er uregulert og
-at transaksjonene er anonyme.»
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>At Bitcoin er anonymt er en myte som spres av både journalister og
-andre, så det er ikke veldig overraskende at også finansministeren har
-gått på limpinnen. Det er dog litt rart, da jeg håper at
-finansdepartementet ikke baserer seg på rykter og myter når de
-besvarer Stortinget. Men du trenger ikke bare tro på meg som kilde
-til påstanden om at Bitcoin ikke er anonymt. Sondre Rønjom har
-<a href="http://blogg.nsm.stat.no/archives/3241">via Sikkerhetsbloggen
-hos Nasjonal Sikkerhetsmyndighet</a> uttalt følgende:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-«At [bitcoin] i utgangspunktet
-<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524"><em>ikke</em> er anonymt</a>,
-kommer kanskje som en overraskelse på mange.»
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Enhver bevegelse av Bitcoin er offentlig tilgjengelig for alle på
-Internet, og en må legge svært mye innsats inn hvis en skal hindre at
-nettverksanalyse av transaksjonsloggene kan brukes til å identifisere
-brukerne. F.eks. kan en enkelt se hva jeg har mottatt til min
-offentliggjorte mottaksadresse ved å besøke blockexplorer og slå opp
-adressen
-<a href="http://blockexplorer.com/address/15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a>.
-Det virker dermed på meg ganske klart at å påstå at
-Bitcoin-transaksjoner er anonyme strengt tatt er å føre Stortinget bak
-lyset.</p>
-
-<p>Finansministeren er ikke den eneste som har latt seg forlede av
-medieomtalen. I spørsmålet fra Hr. Solvik-Olsen skriver han at «For
-noen dager siden kom den første bitcoin-minibanken på Kypros», hvilket
-så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut ikke er riktig. Det er annonsert
-planer om en slik minibank (fra
-<a href="http://www.bitcoinatm.com/">BitcoinATM</a>), men jeg finner
-intet tegn til at en slik minibank er utplassert noe sted.</p>
-
-<p>Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
-mine aktiviteter, så setter jeg pris på Bitcoin-donasjoner til min
-adresse
-<b><a href="bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a></b>.</p>

+ <description><p>I was introduced to the
+<a href="http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/">Freedombox project</a>
+in 2010, when Eben Moglen presented his vision about serving the need
+of non-technical people to keep their personal information private and
+within the legal protection of their own homes. The idea is to give
+people back the power over their network and machines, and return
+Internet back to its intended peer-to-peer architecture. Instead of
+depending on a central service, the Freedombox will give everyone
+control over their own basic infrastructure.</p>
+
+<p>I've intended to join the effort since then, but other tasks have
+taken priority. But this summers nasty news about the misuse of trust
+and privilege exercised by the "western" intelligence gathering
+communities increased my eagerness to contribute to a point where I
+actually started working on the project a while back.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/freedombox/">initial
+Debian initiative</a> based on the vision from Eben Moglen, is to
+create a simple and cheap Debian based appliance that anyone can hook
+up in their home and get access to secure and private services and
+communication. The initial deployment platform have been the
+<a href="http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-dreamplugdetails.aspx">Dreamplug</a>,
+which is a piece of hardware I do not own. So to be able to test what
+the current Freedombox setup look like, I had to come up with a way to install
+it on some hardware I do have access to. I have rewritten the
+<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/freedom-maker">freedom-maker</a>
+image build framework to use .deb packages instead of only copying
+setup into the boot images, and thanks to this rewrite I am able to
+set up any machine supported by Debian Wheezy as a Freedombox, using
+the previously mentioned deb (and a few support debs for packages
+missing in Debian).</p>
+
+<p>The current Freedombox setup consist of a set of bootstrapping
+scripts
+(<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/freedombox-setup">freedombox-setup</a>),
+and a administrative web interface
+(<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/Plinth">plinth</a> + exmachina +
+withsqlite), as well as a privacy enhancing proxy based on
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/privoxy">privoxy</a>
+(freedombox-privoxy). There is also a web/javascript based XMPP
+client (<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/jwchat">jwchat</a>)
+trying (unsuccessfully so far) to talk to the XMPP server
+(<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/ejabberd">ejabberd</a>). The
+web interface is pluggable, and the goal is to use it to enable OpenID
+services, mesh network connectivity, use of TOR, etc, etc. Not much of
+this is really working yet, see
+<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/freedombox-todos/blob/master/TODO">the
+project TODO</a> for links to GIT repositories. Most of the code is
+on github at the moment. The HTTP proxy is operational out of the
+box, and the admin web interface can be used to add/remove plinth
+users. I've not been able to do anything else with it so far, but
+know there are several branches spread around github and other places
+with lots of half baked features.</p>
+
+<p>Anyway, if you want to have a look at the current state, the
+following recipes should work to give you a test machine to poke
+at.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Debian Wheezy amd64</strong></p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Fetch normal Debian Wheezy installation ISO.</li>
+<li>Boot from it, either as CD or USB stick.</li>
+<li><p>Press [tab] on the boot prompt and add this as a boot argument
+to the Debian installer:<p>
+<pre>url=<a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat</a></pre></li>
+
+<li>Answer the few language/region/password questions and pick disk to
+install on.</li>
+
+<li>When the installation is finished and the machine have rebooted a
+few times, your Freedombox is ready for testing.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p><strong>Raspberry Pi Raspbian</strong></p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Fetch a Raspbian SD card image, create SD card.</li>
+<li>Boot from SD card, extend file system to fill the card completely.</li>
+<li><p>Log in and add this to /etc/sources.list:</p>
+<pre>
+deb <a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox</a> wheezy main
+</pre></li>
+<li><p>Run this as root:</p>
+<pre>
+wget -O - http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/BE1A583D.asc | \
+ apt-key add -
+apt-get update
+apt-get install freedombox-setup
+/usr/lib/freedombox/setup
+</pre></li>
+<li>Reboot into your freshly created Freedombox.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>You can test it on other architectures too, but because the
+freedombox-privoxy package is binary, it will only work as intended on
+the architectures where I have had time to build the binary and put it
+in my APT repository. But do not let this stop you. It is only a
+short "<tt>apt-get source -b freedombox-privoxy</tt>" away. :)</p>
+
+<p>Note that by default Freedombox is a DHCP server on the
+192.168.1.0/24 subnet, so if this is your subnet be careful and turn
+off the DHCP server by running "<tt>update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server
+disable</tt>" as root.</p>
+
+<p>Please let me know if this works for you, or if you have any
+problems. We gather on the IRC channel
+<a href="irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox">#freedombox</a> on
+irc.debian.org and the
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss">project
+mailing list</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Once you get your freedombox operational, you can visit
+<tt>http://your-host-name:8001/</tt> to see the state of the plint
+welcome screen (dead end - do not be surprised if you are unable to
+get past it), and next visit <tt>http://your-host-name:8001/help/</tt>
+to look at the rest of plinth. The default user is 'admin' and the
+default password is 'secret'.</p>

+ <title>Datalagringsdirektivet gjør at Oslo Høyre og Arbeiderparti ikke får min stemme i år</title>
+ <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Datalagringsdirektivet_gj_r_at_Oslo_H_yre_og_Arbeiderparti_ikke_f_r_min_stemme_i__r.html</link>

+ <description><p>I 2011 raderte et stortingsflertall bestående av Høyre og
+Arbeiderpartiet vekk en betydelig del av privatsfæren til det norske
+folk. Det ble vedtatt at det skulle registreres og lagres i et halvt
+år hvor alle som bærer på en mobiltelefon befinner seg, hvem de
+snakker med og hvor lenge de snakket sammen. Det skal også
+registreres hvem de sendte SMS-meldinger til, hvem en har sendt epost
+til, og hvilke nett-tjenere en besøkte. Saken er kjent som
+<a href="http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet">Datalagringsdirektivet
+(DLD)</a>, og innebærer at alle innbyggerne og andre innenfor Norges
+grenser overvåkes døgnet rundt. Det ble i praksis innført brev og
+besøkskontroll av hele befolkningen. Rapporter fra de landene som
+allerede har innført slik total lagring av borgernes
+kommunikasjonsmønstre forteller at det ikke hjelper i
+kriminalitetsbekjempelsen. Den norske prislappen blir mange hundre
+millioner, uten at det ser ut til å bidra positivt til politiets
+arbeide. Jeg synes flere hundre millioner i stedet burde vært brukt
+på noe som kan dokumenteres å ha effekt i kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.
+Se mer på
+<a href="http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalagringsdirektivet">Wikipedia</a>
+og <a href="http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84">Jon Wessel-Aas</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Hva er problemet, tenkter du kanskje? Et åpenbart problem er at
+medienes kildevern i praksis blir radert ut. Den innsamlede
+informasjonen gjør det mulig å finne ut hvem som har snakket med
+journalister på telefon, SMS og epost, og hvem som har vært i nærheten
+av journalister så sant begge bar med seg en telefon. Et annet er at
+advokatvernet blir sterkt redusert, der politiet kan finne ut hvem
+som har snakket med en advokat når, eller vært i møter en med advokat.
+Et tredje er at svært personlig informasjon kan avledes fra hvilke
+nettsteder en har besøkt. Har en besøkt hivnorge.no,
+swingersnorge.com eller andre sider som kan brukes til avlede
+interesser som hører til privatsfæren, vil denne informasjonen være
+tilgjengelig takket være datalagringsdirektivet.</p>
+
+<p>De fleste partiene var mot, kun to partier stemte for. Høyre og
+Arbeiderpartiet. Og både Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet i Oslo har
+DLD-forkjempere på toppen av sine lister (har ikke sjekket de andre
+fylkene). Det er dermed helt uaktuelt for meg å stemme på disse
+partiene. Her er oversikten over partienes valglister i Oslo, med
+informasjon om hvem som stemte hva i første DLD-votering i Stortinget,
+basert på informasjon fra mine venner i
+<a href="http://beta.holderdeord.no/votes/1301946411e">Holder de
+Ord</a> samt <a href="http://data.stortinget.no/">data.stortinget.no</a>.

+ <description><p>The second wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
+today, slightly delayed because of some bugs in the initial Windows
+integration fixes . This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b1 released 2013-08-22</strong></p>
+
+<p>These are the release notes for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+7.1+edu0~b1, based on Debian with codename "Wheezy".</p>
+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
+Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
+out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
+network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
+services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
+and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
+environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
+the main server from CD or USB stick all other machines can be
+installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
+database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
+directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
+desktop contains
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html">more
+than 60 educational software packages</a> and more are available from
+the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
+and Xfce desktop environment.</p>
+
+<p>This is the sixth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this
+is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze
+release.</p>
+
+<p>ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
+versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
+release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
+deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
+gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/08/msg00127.html">on
+the mailing list</a>. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and
+replace both contained admin password placeholders with the password
+hashes found in the old one (backup copy!). In both cases every user
+need to change their their password to make sure a password is set for
+CIFS access to their home directory.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Added ssh askpass packages to default installation, to ensure ssh
+ work also without a attached tty.</li>
+<li>Add the command-not-found package to the default installation to
+ make it easier to figure out where to find missing command line
+ tools. Please note, that the command 'update-command-not-found'
+ has to be run as root to actually make it useful (internet access
+ required).</li>

- <description><p>For en stund tilbake gikk nyheten om
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Island,_New_Caledonia">Sandy
-Island</a>, en øy som var dukket opp på noen kart, men som ikke var
-synlig når en sjekket den på satellittbilder. Dagbladet meldte for
-eksempel at
-«<a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/11/22/nyheter/google_maps/google/utenriks/internett/24496816/">denne
-øya finnes på kart, men ikke i virkeligheten</a>». Noe senere begynte
-jeg å lese
-<a href="http://www.gyldendal.no/Barn-og-ungdom/3-6-aar/Den-store-Ruffen-boken">historier
-om Ruffen</a> til mine barn. Dette er historier om sjøormen Ruffen
-skapt av Tor Åge Bringsværd, som starter med følgende beskrivelse:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-«Langt ute i havet ligger en mystisk øy. Den er bare synlig hver
-tirsdag og fredag. Derfor står den ikke på noe kart. På denne øya
-ligger et slott, og i slottet bor en gammel, fin sjøormfamilie.»
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Det virker åpenbart at Hr. Bringsværd tok feil når han trodde den
-ikke var på noe kart, og at noen tydeligvis har vært i nærheten en
-tirsdag eller en fredag og fått den med på et kart, mens
-satellittbildene er tatt på noen av de fem andre dagene i uka og
-dermed ikke ser øya. :)</p>
-
-<p>I følge
-<a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/12/03/nyheter/sandy_island/forskning/utenriks/24662158/">en
-senere artikkel i Dagbladet</a> hevder Shaun Higgins, en forsker fra
-New Zealand, at et hvalfangstskip fra 1876 er opprinnelsen til at
-spøkelsesøya i det hele tatt havnet på kartet. Det fremgår ikke fra
-historien hvilken ukedag de var innom.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg har stor sans for Tor Åge Bringsværd. Og han viste nylig en
-svært fin side av seg selv da han sa ja til EFNs forespørsel om å gi
-ut novellen <a href="http://www.efn.no/kodemus/">Kodémus</a> med
-Creative Commons-lisens.</p>

-
-<p>Isenkram is a system for suggesting to users what packages to
-install to work with a pluggable hardware device. The suggestion pop
-up when the device is plugged in. For example if a Lego Mindstorm NXT

-the NXT controller. Give it a go, and report bugs and suggestions to

- <description><p>For noen dager siden nevnte jeg at vi jobbet med å typesette en
-novelle med <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">DocBook</a>. I dag ble
-utgivelsen annonsert med følgende pressemelding fra Elektronisk
-Forpost Norge), som jeg gjengir i sin helhet:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-
-<p><strong>EFN nyutgir Kodémus:</strong></p>
-
-<p><strong>Tor Åge Bringsværd-novelle om IT og overvåkning fra
-informasjonsteknologiens spedbarndom får nytt liv</strong></p>
-
-<p>Elektronisk Forpost Norge (EFN) er veldig glad for anledningen til
-å nyutgi Tor Åge Bringsværds novelle Kodémus i digitalt format for nye
-(og gamle) generasjoner. Novellen ble skrevet så tidlig som vinteren
-1968, og første gang trykt i novellesamlingen Probok på Gyldendal
-samme år.</p>
-
-<p>Informasjonsteknologi spiller en sentral rolle i Kodémus, og det er
-spennende å sammenligne beskrivelsen av IT fra 1968 med dagens IT i
-2013. Forskjellene er mange -- men det er jammen likhetene også. Ikke
-minst det at idag går jo nesten alle rundt med lillebrødre på seg!</p>
-
-<p>"Riktignok er det ikke påbudt å ha mobil," sier Thomas Gramstad,
-leder i EFN. "Men vi holder på å lage et samfunn der det blir så
-upraktisk eller tungvint å ikke ha det, at man i praksis ikke slipper
-unna. Og disse lillebrødrene sladrer hele tiden til staten (og til
-mange andre) om hvor vi er, hva vi gjør, hva vi bryr oss om, hva vi
-liker..."</p>
-
-<p>Det at Kodémus åpenbart er skrevet i en annen tid med en annen type
-IT og likevel virker så relevant idag, er i seg selv et hardtslående
-tankekors.</p>
-
-<p>Tross sitt IT-tema fantes ikke Kodémus i elektronisk form, og
-frivillige i EFN har skannet inn, OCR-tolket og korrekturlest
-novellen, og deretter kodet den i en rekke digitale formater.</p>
-
-<p>Forfatteren har gitt tillatelse til publisering av Kodémus under ny
-lisens, og novellen utgis av EFN med en Creative Commons (CC)
-fribrukslisens (nærmere bestemt lisensen CC-BY-NC-ND). For leserne
-eller brukerne innebærer dette at de får en klar og standardisert
-beskjed om hvilke rettigheter de har til å dele novellen videre med
-andre. For forfatteren innebærer dette økt synlighet og
-tilgjengelighet for verket, slik at det ikke blir glemt, da
-søkemotorer og nettlesere inneholder egne søkevalg for CC-lisenser, og
-mange brukere søker etter verk som de vet de kan dele og bruke på
-lovlig vis.</p>
-
-<p>EFN oppfordrer andre forfattere om å gi ut sine gamle tekster med
-en fribrukslisens, slik at tekstene ikke blir glemt og for å stimulere
-lovlig deling på nettet. EFN kan være behjelpelig med digitalisering
-og utlegging på nett, i den grad det finnes kapasitet blant EFNs
-medlemmer til dette. Vi mener at nyutgivelser av tekster under frie
-lisenser kan øke interessen rundt forfatterskapet, og vil gjerne bidra
-til dette.</p>
-
-<p>EFN utgir og deler med dette en novelle fra den digitale
-informasjonsteknologiens tidligste barndom. En novelle som fortsatt er
-full av vitalitet og aktualitet, og som derfor kan bidra til, og gi
-ettertanke i dagens debatter om IT, personvern, overvåkning og
-individets frihet og integritet.</p>
-
-<p>Du finner novellen her:
-<br><a href="http://efn.no/kodemus/">http://efn.no/kodemus/</a></p>
-
-<p>i flere forskjellige formater, for ulike plattformer. Per idag
-finnes novellen i disse formatene: EPUB, MOBI, XML, HTML, PDF og
-txt. Det kan bli flere formater senere, og evt. frivillige
-bidragsytere til dette er velkommen.</p>
-
-<p>Kontaktperson for denne pressemeldingen,</p>
-
-<p>Thomas Gramstad
-<br>thomas@efn.no
-<br>4817 6875</p>
-
-<hr>
-
-<p>EFN arbeider for dine borgerrettigheter i IT-samfunnet, for
-nettverks- og delingskultur, personvern og frihet fra overvåkning,
-åpne standarder, brukerstyrt programvare, retten til å kopiere, og
-styrking av det digitale sivilsamfunnet m.m.
-<br><a href="http://efn.no/">www.efn.no</a></p>
-
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Jeg håper flere forfattere ser verdien av å gjøre kulturen
-tilgjengelig for flere, og slår følge med Hr. Bringsværd i å gi ut
-sine verker med bruksvilkår med færre bruksbegrensinger enn
-opphavsretten legger opp til. Selv om jeg gjerne skulle sett at han
-hadde brukt en Creative Commons-lisens som tillot avledede verker og
-kommersiell bruk.</p>

- <description><p>Would you like to help the environment and save money at the same
-time, without much sacrifice? A small step could be to change the
-font you use when printing.</p>
-
-<p>Three years ago,
-<a href="http://arstechnica.com/business/2010/04/last-year-printer-comparison-website/">Ars
-Technica</a> reported how the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
-changed their default front from
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial">Arial</a> to
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Gothic">Century
-Gothic</a> to save money. The Century Gothic font uses 30% less toner
-than Arial to print the same text. In other word, you could cut your
-toner costs by 30% (or actually, increase your toner supply life time
-by more than 30%), by simply changing the default font used in your
-prints.</p>
-
-<p>But it is not quite obvious how much one will save by switching.
-The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay said it used $100,000 per year
-on ink and toner cartridges, according to
-<a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_14833097">a report from
-TwinCities.com</a>, and expected to save between $5,000 and $10,000
-per year by asking staff and students to use a different font. Not
-all PDFs and documents are created internally, and those from external
-sources will most likely still use a different font. Also, the
-Century Gothic font is slightly wider than Arial, and thus might use
-more sheets of paper to print the same text, so the total saving
-depend on the documents printed.</p>
-
-<p>But it is definitely something to consider, if you want to reduce
-the amount of trash, decrease the amount of toner used in the world,
-and save some money in the process.</p>
-
-<p>Update 2013-04-10: If you want to know how much ink/toner could be
-saved when switching between fonts, Inkfarm got a
-<a href="http://www.inkfarm.com/What-the-Font">service to calculate the
-difference between font pairs</a>. They also
-<a href="http://www.inkfarm.com/Recommended-Ink-Saving-Fonts---">recommend
-which fonts to use</a> to save ink. Check it out. :) While updating
-this blog post, I also came across a blog post from InkCloners,
-<a href="http://inkcloners.com/blog/ink-cartridges/change-fonts-to-save-ink-costs/">listing
-the fonts they recommend</a>, with Centory Gothic at the top.</p>

- <description><p>A few days ago, during a discussion in
-<a href="http://www.efn.no/">EFN</a> about interesting books to read
-about copyright and the data retention directive, a suggestion to read
-the 1968 short story Kodémus by
-<a href="http://web2.gyldendal.no/toraage/">Tore Åge Bringsværd</a>
-came up. The text was only available in old paper books, and thus not
-easily available for current and future generations. Some of the
-people participating in the discussion contacted the author, and
-reported back 2013-03-19 that the author was OK with releasing the
-short story using a <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org/">Creative
-Commons</a> license. The text was quickly scanned and OCR-ed, and we
-were ready to start on the editing and typesetting.</p>
-
-<p>As I already had some experience formatting text in my project to
-provide a Norwegian version of the Free Culture book by Lawrence
-Lessig, I chipped in and set up a
-<a href="http://www.docbook.org/">DocBook</a> processing framework to
-generate PDF, HTML and EPUB version of the short story. The tools to
-transform DocBook to different formats are already in my Linux
-distribution of choice, <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>, so
-all I had to do was to use the
-<a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a>,
-<a href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/README">dbtoepub</a>
-and <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/">xmlto</a> tools to do the
-conversion. After a few days, we decided to replace dblatex with
-xsltproc/fop (aka
-<a href="http://wiki.docbook.org/DocBookXslStylesheets">docbook-xsl</a>),
-to get the copyright information to show up in the PDF and to get a
-nicer &lt;variablelist&gt; typesetting, but that is just a minor
-technical detail.</p>
-
-<p>There were a few challenges, of course. We want to typeset the
-short story to look like the original, and that require fairly good
-control over the layout. The original short story have three
-parts/scenes separated by a single horizontally centred star (*), and
-the paragraphs do not contain only flowing text, but dialogs and text
-that started on a new line in the middle of the paragraph.</p>

-<p>I initially solved the first challenge by using a paragraph with a
-single star in it, ie &lt;para&gt;*&lt;/para&gt;, but it made sure a
-placeholder indicated where the scene shifted. This did not look too
-good without the centring. The next approach was to create a new
-preprocessor directive &lt;?newscene?&gt;, mapping to "&lt;hr/&gt;"
-for HTML and "&lt;fo:block text-align="center"&gt;&lt;fo:leader
-leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="0.5pt"/&gt;&lt;/fo:block&gt;"
-for FO/PDF output (did not try to implement this in dblatex, as we had
-switched at this time). The HTML XSL file looked like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-&lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
-&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
- &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('newscene')"&gt;
- &lt;hr/&gt;
- &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
-&lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-&lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
-&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
- &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('newscene')"&gt;
- &lt;fo:block text-align="center"&gt;
- &lt;fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="0.5pt"/&gt;
- &lt;/fo:block&gt;
- &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
-&lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Finally, I came across the &lt;bridgehead&gt; tag, which seem to be
-a good fit for the task at hand, and I replaced &lt;?newscene?&gt;
-with &lt;bridgehead&gt;*&lt;/bridgehead&gt;. It isn't centred, but we
-can fix it with some XSL rule if the current visual layout isn't
-enough.</p>
-
-<p>I did not find a good DocBook compliant way to solve the
-linebreak/paragraph challenge, so I ended up creating a new processor
-directive &lt;?linebreak?&gt;, mapping to &lt;br/&gt; in HTML, and
-&lt;fo:block/&gt; in FO/PDF. I suspect there are better ways to do
-this, and welcome ideas and patches on github. The HTML XSL file now
-look like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-&lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
-&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
- &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('linebreak)"&gt;
- &lt;br/&gt;
- &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
-&lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-&lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
-&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'
- xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"&gt;
- &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('linebreak)"&gt;
- &lt;fo:block/&gt;
- &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
-&lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>One unsolved challenge is our wish to expose different ISBN numbers
-per publication format, while keeping all of them in some conditional
-structure in the DocBook source. No idea how to do this, so we ended
-up listing all the ISBN numbers next to their format in the colophon
-page.</p>

- <description><p>I
-<a href="http://standard.difi.no/hoyring/forslag-om-endring-av-forskrift-om-it-standarder-i-offentlig-forvaltning">siste
-høring</a> om
-<a href="http://standard.difi.no/forvaltningsstandarder">referansekatalogen
-for IT-standarder i offentlig sektor</a>, med høringsfrist 2012-09-30
-(DIFI-sak 2012/498), ble det foreslått å fjerne ODF som obligatorisk
-standard når en publiserte dokumenter som skulle kunne redigeres
-videre av mottaker. NUUG og andre protesterte på forslaget, som er et
-langt steg tilbake når det gjelder å sikre like rettigheter for alle
-når en kommuniserer med det offentlige. For noen dager siden ble jeg
-oppmerksom på at Direktoratet for forvaltning og IKT (DIFI) og
-Fornyings-,administrasjons- og kirkedepartementet (FAD) har
-konkludert, og oversendt forslag til regjeringen i saken. FADs
-dokument

-«Utkast til endring av standardiseringsforskriften» datert 2013-02-06
-har følgende triste oppsummering fra høringen i saken:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-Det kom noen innvendinger på forslaget om å fjerne ODF som
-obligatorisk standard for redigerbare dokumenter. Innvendingene har
-ikke blitt ilagt avgjørende vekt.
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Ved å fjerne ODF som obligatorisk format ved publisering av
-redigerbare dokumenter setter en Norge tiår tilbake. Det som vil skje
-er at offentlige etater går tilbake til kun å publisere dokumenter på
-et av de mange formatene til Microsoft Office, og alle som ikke
-aksepterer bruksvilkårene til Microsoft eller ikke har råd til å bruke
-penger på å få tilgang til Microsoft Office må igjen basere seg på
-verktøy fra utviklerne som er avhengig av å reversutvikle disse
-formatene. I og med at ISO-spesifikasjonen for OOXML ikke komplett og
-korrekt spesifiserer formatene til MS Office (men er nyttige å titte i
-når en reversutvikler), er en tilbake til en situasjon der en ikke har
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fri_og__pen_standard__slik_Digistan_ser_det.html">en
-fri og åpen standard</a> å forholde seg til, men i stedet må springe
-etter Microsoft. Alle andre leverandører enn Microsoft vil dermed ha
-en seriøs ulempe. Det er som å fjerne krav om bruk av meter som
-måleenhet, og heretter aksepterer alle måleenheter som like gyldige,
-når en vet at den mest brukte enheten vil være armlengden til Steve
-Ballmer slik Microsoft måler den.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg er ikke sikker på om forslaget er vedtatt av regjeringen ennå.
-Kristian Bergem hos DIFI nevnte på et møte forrige tirsdag at han
-trodde det var vedtatt i statsråd 8. mars, men jeg har ikke klart å
-finne en skriftlig kilde på regjeringen.no som bekrefter dette.
-Kanskje det ennå ikke er for sent...</p>
-
-<p>Jeg ba i forrige uke om innsyn i dokument 6, 7 og 8 i FAD-saken, og
-har i dag fått innsyn i dokument 7 og 8. Ble nektet innsyn i
-dokumentet med tittelen «Oppsummering av høring om endringer i
-forskrift om IT-standarder i offentlig forvaltning» med hjemmel i
-off. lovens §15.1, så det er vanskelig å vite hvordan argumentene fra
-høringen ble mottatt og forstått av saksbehandleren hos DIFI. Lurer
-på hvordan jeg kan klage på at jeg ikke fikk se oppsummeringen. Fikk
-tre PDFer tilsendt fra FAD,

+ <description><p>Earlier, I reported about
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html">my
+problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk</a>. Friday I was
+told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away. And as
+there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
+today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
+currently on the disk.</p>
+
+<p>I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
+<a href="https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3472&DwnldID=18363&ProductFamily=Solid-State+Drives+and+Caching&ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+High+Performance+Solid-State+Drive&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+SSD+520+Series+(180GB%2c+2.5in+SATA+6Gb%2fs%2c+25nm%2c+MLC)&lang=eng">issdfut_2.0.4.iso</a>
+(aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
+according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
+disks. I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
+booted the ISO from a USB stick. The disk was recognized, but the
+program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
+to insert any Intel firmware. So no change, and the disk is still
+unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
+working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware. No idea how likely
+that is. Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness. I
+got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
+the broken disks.</p>
