+      <div class="body"><p>Today I was pleasantly surprised to discover by operating system of
+choice, Debian, was used in the info screens on the subway.  While
+passing Nydalen subway station in Oslo, Norway, I discovered the info
+screen booting with some text scrolling.  I was not quick enough with
+my camera to be able to record a video of the scrolling boot screen,
+but I did get a photo from when the boot got stuck with a corrupt file
+system:
+
+<p><a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2018-03-02-ruter-debian-lenny.jpeg"><img width="40%" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2018-03-02-ruter-debian-lenny.jpeg" alt="[photo of subway info screen]"></a></p>
+
+<p>While I am happy to see Debian used more places, the details of the
+content on the screen worries me.
+
+The image show the version booting is 'Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid',
+indicating that this is based on code taken from Debian Unstable/Sid
+between Debian Etch (version 4) was released 2007-04-08 and after
+Debian Lenny (version 5) was released 2009-02-14.  Since Lenny Debian
+has released version 6 (Squeeze) 2011-02-06, 7 (Wheezy) 2013-05-04, 8
+(Jessie) 2015-04-25 and 9 (Stretch) 2017-06-15, according to
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history">a Debian
+version history on Wikpedia</a>.  This mean the system is running
+around 10 year old code, with no security fixes from the vendor for
+many years.</p>
+
+<p>This is not the first time I discover the Oslo subway company,
+Ruter, running outdated software.  In 2012,
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Er_billettautomatene_til_kollektivtrafikken_i_Oslo_uten_sikkerhetsoppdateringer_.html">I
+discovered the ticket vending machines were running Windows 2000</a>,
+and this was
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fortsatt_ingen_sikkerhetsoppdateringer_for_billettautomatene_til_kollektivtrafikken_i_Oslo_.html">still
+the case in 2016</a>.  Given the response from the responsible people
+in 2016, I would assume the machines are still running unpatched
+Windows 2000.  Thus, an unpatched Debian setup come as no surprise.</p>

-      <div class="date"> 5th December 2017</div>
-      <div class="body"><p>Three years ago, a presumed lost animation film,
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_Socks">Empty Socks from
-1927</a>, was discovered in the Norwegian National Library.  At the
-time it was discovered, it was generally assumed to be copyrighted by
-The Walt Disney Company, and I blogged about
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Opphavsretts_status_for__Empty_Socks__fra_1927_.html">my
-reasoning to conclude</a> that it would would enter the Norwegian
-equivalent of the public domain in 2053, based on my understanding of
-Norwegian Copyright Law.  But a few days ago, I came across
-<a href="http://www.toonzone.net/forums/threads/exposed-disneys-repurchase-of-oswald-the-rabbit-a-sham.4792291/">a
-blog post claiming the movie was already in the public domain</a>, at
-least in USA.  The reasoning is as follows: The film was released in
-November or Desember 1927 (sources disagree), and presumably
-registered its copyright that year.  At that time, right holders of
-movies registered by the copyright office received government
-protection for there work for 28 years.  After 28 years, the copyright
-had to be renewed if the wanted the government to protect it further.
-The blog post I found claim such renewal did not happen for this
-movie, and thus it entered the public domain in 1956.  Yet someone
-claim the copyright was renewed and the movie is still copyright
-protected.  Can anyone help me to figure out which claim is correct?
-I have not been able to find Empty Socks in Catalog of copyright
-entries.  Ser.3 pt.12-13 v.9-12 1955-1958 Motion Pictures
-<a href="http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/1955r.html#film">available

-119 for the second half of 1955</a>.  It is of course possible that
-the renewal entry was left out of the printed catalog by mistake.  Is
-there some way to rule out this possibility?  Please help, and update
