- <div class="body"><p>Last night, I wrote
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Streaming_the_Linux_desktop_to_Kodi_using_VLC_and_RTSP.html">a
-recipe to stream a Linux desktop using VLC to a instance of Kodi</a>.
-During the day I received valuable feedback, and thanks to the
-suggestions I have been able to rewrite the recipe into a much simpler
-approach requiring no setup at all. It is a single script that take
-care of it all.</p>
-
-<p>This new script uses GStreamer instead of VLC to capture the
-desktop and stream it to Kodi. This fixed the video quality issue I
-saw initially. It further removes the need to add a m3u file on the
-Kodi machine, as it instead connects to
-<a href="https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v8">the JSON-RPC API in
-Kodi</a> and simply ask Kodi to play from the stream created using
-GStreamer. Streaming the desktop to Kodi now become trivial. Copy
-the script below, run it with the DNS name or IP address of the kodi
-server to stream to as the only argument, and watch your screen show
-up on the Kodi screen. Note, it depend on multicast on the local
-network, so if you need to stream outside the local network, the
-script must be modified. Note, I have no idea if audio work, as I
-only care about the picture part.</p>

+
+<p>For å si det med forhenværende leder i Datatilsynet, Georg Apenes,

- <div class="date">12th July 2018</div>
- <div class="body"><p>A while back, I was asked by a friend how to stream the desktop to
-my projector connected to Kodi. I sadly had to admit that I had no
-idea, as it was a task I never had tried. Since then, I have been
-looking for a way to do so, preferable without much extra software to
-install on either side. Today I found a way that seem to kind of
-work. Not great, but it is a start.</p>
-
-<p>I had a look at several approaches, for example
-<a href="https://github.com/mfoetsch/dlna_live_streaming">using uPnP
-DLNA as described in 2011</a>, but it required a uPnP server, fuse and
-local storage enough to store the stream locally. This is not going
-to work well for me, lacking enough free space, and it would
-impossible for my friend to get working.</p>
-
-<p>Next, it occurred to me that perhaps I could use VLC to create a
-video stream that Kodi could play. Preferably using
-broadcast/multicast, to avoid having to change any setup on the Kodi
-side when starting such stream. Unfortunately, the only recipe I
-could find using multicast used the rtp protocol, and this protocol
-seem to not be supported by Kodi.</p>
-
-<p>On the other hand, the rtsp protocol is working! Unfortunately I
-have to specify the IP address of the streaming machine in both the
-sending command and the file on the Kodi server. But it is showing my
-desktop, and thus allow us to have a shared look on the big screen at
-the programs I work on.</p>
-
-<p>I did not spend much time investigating codeces. I combined the
-rtp and rtsp recipes from
-<a href="https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Command_Line_Examples/">the
-VLC Streaming HowTo/Command Line Examples</a>, and was able to get
-this working on the desktop/streaming end.</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-vlc screen:// --sout \
- '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:rtp{dst=projector.local,port=1234,sdp=rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/test.sdp}'
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>I ssh-ed into my Kodi box and created a file like this with the
-same IP address:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-echo rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/test.sdp \
- > /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Note the 192.168.11.4 IP address is my desktops IP address. As far
-as I can tell the IP must be hardcoded for this to work. In other
-words, if someone elses machine is going to do the steaming, you have
-to update screenstream.m3u on the Kodi machine and adjust the vlc
-recipe. To get started, locate the file in Kodi and select the m3u
-file while the VLC stream is running. The desktop then show up in my
-big screen. :)</p>
-
-<p>When using the same technique to stream a video file with audio,
-the audio quality is really bad. No idea if the problem is package
-loss or bad parameters for the transcode. I do not know VLC nor Kodi
-enough to tell.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2018-07-12</strong>: Johannes Schauer send me a few
-succestions and reminded me about an important step. The "screen:"
-input source is only available once the vlc-plugin-access-extra
-package is installed on Debian. Without it, you will see this error
-message: "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'screen://'. Check the log
-for details." He further found that it is possible to drop some parts
-of the VLC command line to reduce the amount of hardcoded information.
-It is also useful to consider using cvlc to avoid having the VLC
-window in the desktop view. In sum, this give us this command line on
-the source end
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-cvlc screen:// --sout \
- '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://:8080/}'
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>and this on the Kodi end<p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-echo rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/ \
- > /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Still bad image quality, though. But I did discover that streaming
-a DVD using dvdsimple:///dev/dvd as the source had excellent video and
-audio quality, so I guess the issue is in the input or transcoding
-parts, not the rtsp part. I've tried to change the vb and ab
-parameters to use more bandwidth, but it did not make a
-difference.</p>
-
-<p>I further received a suggestion from Einar Haraldseid to try using
-gstreamer instead of VLC, and this proved to work great! He also
-provided me with the trick to get Kodi to use a multicast stream as
-its source. By using this monstrous oneliner, I can stream my desktop
-with good video quality in reasonable framerate to the 239.255.0.1
-multicast address on port 1234:
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-gst-launch-1.0 ximagesrc use-damage=0 ! video/x-raw,framerate=30/1 ! \
- videoconvert ! queue2 ! \
- x264enc bitrate=8000 speed-preset=superfast tune=zerolatency qp-min=30 \
- key-int-max=15 bframes=2 ! video/x-h264,profile=high ! queue2 ! \
- mpegtsmux alignment=7 name=mux ! rndbuffersize max=1316 min=1316 ! \
- udpsink host=239.255.0.1 port=1234 ttl-mc=1 auto-multicast=1 sync=0 \
- pulsesrc device=$(pactl list | grep -A2 'Source #' | \
- grep 'Name: .*\.monitor$' | cut -d" " -f2|head -1) ! \
- audioconvert ! queue2 ! avenc_aac ! queue2 ! mux.
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>and this on the Kodi end<p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-echo udp://@239.255.0.1:1234 \
- > /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Note the trick to pick a valid pulseaudio source. It might not
-pick the one you need. This approach will of course lead to trouble
-if more than one source uses the same multicast port and address.
-Note the ttl-mc=1 setting, which limit the multicast packages to the
-local network. If the value is increased, your screen will be
-broadcasted further, one network "hop" for each increase (read up on
-multicast to learn more. :)!</p>
-
-<p>Having cracked how to get Kodi to receive multicast streams, I
-could use this VLC command to stream to the same multicast address.
-The image quality is way better than the rtsp approach, but gstreamer
-seem to be doing a better job.</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-cvlc screen:// --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.0.1,port=1234,sdp=sap}'

- <div class="body"><p>Five years ago,
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_is_the_most_supported_MIME_type_in_Debian_.html">I
-measured what the most supported MIME type in Debian was</a>, by
-analysing the desktop files in all packages in the archive. Since
-then, the DEP-11 AppStream system has been put into production, making
-the task a lot easier. This made me want to repeat the measurement,
-to see how much things changed. Here are the new numbers, for
-unstable only this time:
-
-<p><strong>Debian Unstable:</strong></p>
-
-<pre>
- count MIME type
- ----- -----------------------
- 56 image/jpeg
- 55 image/png
- 49 image/tiff
- 48 image/gif
- 39 image/bmp
- 38 text/plain
- 37 audio/mpeg
- 34 application/ogg
- 33 audio/x-flac
- 32 audio/x-mp3
- 30 audio/x-wav
- 30 audio/x-vorbis+ogg
- 29 image/x-portable-pixmap

- 25 audio/ogg
- 24 text/html
-</pre>
-
-<p>The list was created like this using a sid chroot: "cat
-/var/lib/apt/lists/*sid*_dep11_Components-amd64.yml.gz| zcat | awk '/^
-- \S+\/\S+$/ {print $2 }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20"</p>
-
-<p>It is interesting to see how image formats have passed text/plain
-as the most announced supported MIME type. These days, thanks to the
-AppStream system, if you run into a file format you do not know, and
-want to figure out which packages support the format, you can find the
-MIME type of the file using "file --mime <filename>", and then
-look up all packages announcing support for this format in their
-AppStream metadata (XML or .desktop file) using "appstreamcli
-what-provides mimetype <mime-type>. For example if you, like
-me, want to know which packages support inode/directory, you can get a
-list like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype inode/directory | grep Package: | sort
-Package: anjuta
-Package: audacious
-Package: baobab
-Package: cervisia
-Package: chirp
-Package: dolphin
-Package: doublecmd-common
-Package: easytag
-Package: enlightenment
-Package: ephoto
-Package: filelight
-Package: gwenview

-Package: pcmanfm-qt
-Package: qweborf
-Package: ranger
-Package: sirikali
-Package: spacefm
-Package: spacefm
-Package: vifm
-%
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Using the same method, I can quickly discover that the Sketchup file
-format is not yet supported by any package in Debian:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype application/vnd.sketchup.skp
-Could not find component providing 'mimetype::application/vnd.sketchup.skp'.
-%
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Yesterday I used it to figure out which packages support the STL 3D
-format:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype application/sla|grep Package
-Package: cura
-Package: meshlab
-Package: printrun

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

-<a href="https://www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/">the

-into a shaft leading to its shipping harbour. This downward movement
-in this shaft is used to produce electricity. In short, it is using
-falling rocks instead of falling water to produce electricity, and
-according to its own statements it is producing more power than it is
-using, and selling the surplus electricity to the Norwegian power
-grid. I find the concept truly amazing. Is this the worlds only

+ <div class="body"><p>Arbeidet med å lage et godt, fritt og åpent standardisert maskinelt
+grensesnitt for arkivering, med tilhørende fri

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

- <div class="date">26th June 2018</div>
- <div class="body"><p>My movie playing setup involve <a href="https://kodi.tv/">Kodi</a>,
-<a href="https://openelec.tv">OpenELEC</a> (probably soon to be
-replaced with <a href="https://libreelec.tv/">LibreELEC</a>) and an
-Infocus IN76 video projector. My projector can be controlled via both
-a infrared remote controller, and a RS-232 serial line. The vendor of
-my projector, <a href="https://www.infocus.com/">InFocus</a>, had been
-sensible enough to document the serial protocol in its user manual, so
-it is easily available, and I used it some years ago to write
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/infocus-projector-control">a
-small script to control the projector</a>. For a while now, I longed
-for a setup where the projector was controlled by Kodi, for example in
-such a way that when the screen saver went on, the projector was
-turned off, and when the screen saver exited, the projector was turned
-on again.</p>
-
-<p>A few days ago, with very good help from parts of my family, I
-managed to find a Kodi Add-on for controlling a Epson projector, and
-got in touch with its author to see if we could join forces and make a
-Add-on with support for several projectors. To my pleasure, he was
-positive to the idea, and we set out to add InFocus support to his
-add-on, and make the add-on suitable for the official Kodi add-on
-repository.</p>
-
-<p>The Add-on is now working (for me, at least), with a few minor
-adjustments. The most important change I do relative to the master
-branch in the github repository is embedding the
-<a href="https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial">pyserial module</a> in
-the add-on. The long term solution is to make a "script" type
-pyserial module for Kodi, that can be pulled in as a dependency in
-Kodi. But until that in place, I embed it.</p>
-
-<p>The add-on can be configured to turn on the projector when Kodi
-starts, off when Kodi stops as well as turn the projector off when the
-screensaver start and on when the screesaver stops. It can also be
-told to set the projector source when turning on the projector.
-
-<p>If this sound interesting to you, check out
-<a href="https://github.com/fredrik-eriksson/kodi_projcontrol">the
-project github repository</a>. Perhaps you can send patches to
-support your projector too? As soon as we find time to wrap up the
-latest changes, it should be available for easy installation using any
-Kodi instance.</p>
-
-<p>For future improvements, I would like to add projector model
-detection and the ability to adjust the brightness level of the
-projector from within Kodi. We also need to figure out how to handle
-the cooling period of the projector. My projector refuses to turn on
-for 60 seconds after it was turned off. This is not handled well by
-the add-on at the moment.</p>

- <div class="body"><p>I <a href="https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS">VHS-kassettenes</a>
-tid var det rett frem å ta vare på et TV-program en ønsket å kunne se
-senere, uten å være avhengig av at programmet ble sendt på nytt.
-Kanskje ønsket en å se programmet på hytten der det ikke var
-TV-signal, eller av andre grunner ha det tilgjengelig for fremtidig
-fornøyelse. Dette er blitt vanskeligere med introduksjon av
-digital-TV og webstreaming, der opptak til harddisk er utenfor de
-flestes kontroll hvis de bruker ufri programvare og bokser kontrollert
-av andre. Men for NRK her i Norge, finnes det heldigvis flere fri
-programvare-alternativer, som jeg har
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK.html">skrevet</a>
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK_med_den__nye__l_sningen.html">om</a>
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Nedlasting_fra_NRK__som_Matroska_med_undertekster.html">før</a>.
-Så lenge kilden for nedlastingen er lovlig lagt ut på nett (hvilket
-jeg antar NRK gjør), så er slik lagring til privat bruk også lovlig i
-Norge.</p>
-
-<p>Sist jeg så på saken, i 2016, nevnte jeg at
-<a href="https://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/">youtube-dl</a> ikke kunne
-bake undertekster fra NRK inn i videofilene, og at jeg derfor
-foretrakk andre alternativer. Nylig oppdaget jeg at dette har endret
-seg. Fordelen med youtube-dl er at den er tilgjengelig direkte fra
-Linux-distribusjoner som <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>
-og <a href="https://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a>, slik at en slipper å
-finne ut selv hvordan en skal få dem til å virke.</p>
-
-<p>For å laste ned et NRK-innslag med undertekster, og få den norske
-underteksten pakket inn i videofilen, så kan følgende kommando
-brukes:</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format ttml \
- --convert-subtitles srt --embed-subs \
- https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ramm-ferdig-gaa/MUHU11000316/27-04-2018
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>URL-eksemplet er dagens toppsak på tv.nrk.no. Resultatet er en
-MP4-fil med filmen og undertekster som kan spilles av med VLC. Merk
-at VLC ikke viser frem undertekster før du aktiverer dem. For å gjøre
-det, høyreklikk med musa i fremviservinduet, velg menyvalget for
-undertekst og så norsk språk. Jeg testet også '--write-auto-sub',
-men det kommandolinjeargumentet ser ikke ut til å fungere, så jeg
-endte opp med settet med argumentlisten over, som jeg fant i en
-feilrapport i youtube-dl-prosjektets samling over feilrapporter.</p>
-
-<p>Denne støtten i youtube-dl gjør det svært enkelt å lagre
-NRK-innslag, det være seg nyheter, filmer, serier eller dokumentater,
-for å ha dem tilgjengelig for fremtidig referanse og bruk, uavhengig
-av hvor lenge innslagene ligger tilgjengelig hos NRK. Så får det ikke
-hjelpe at NRKs jurister mener at det er
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Best___ikke_fortelle_noen_at_streaming_er_nedlasting___.html">vesensforskjellig
-å legge tilgjengelig for nedlasting og for streaming</a>, når det rent
-teknisk er samme sak.</p>
-
-<p>Programmet youtube-dl støtter også en rekke andre nettsteder, se

+Goodreads</a>. Jeg oversatte den utgaven til norsk i går, og har lyst
+til å dele den med deg:
+
+<blockquote><p>Mens jeg tok en pause fra skrivingen og vandret på en
+øde strand ved daggry, så jeg en gutt i det fjerne bøye seg ned og
+kaste noe mens han vandret mot meg over den endeløse stranden. Da han
+kom nærmere, kunne jeg se at han kastet sjøstjerner, som var etterlatt
+i sanden av tidevannet, tilbake i havet. Da han var nær nok spurte jeg
+ham hvorfor han jobbet så hardt på denne merkelige oppgaven. Han sa at
+solen snart ville stå opp og tørke sjøstjernene slik at de ville
+dø.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg sa til ham at dette var helt meningsløst. Det var kilometer på
+kilometer med strand, og det lå sjøstjerner hele veien. En person
+alene kunne ikke gjøre noen forskjell. Han smilte da han plukket opp
+neste sjøstjerne. Mens han kastet den så langt ut i havet som han
+klarte sa han, «for denne gjør det en forskjell». Jeg droppet
+skrivingen og tilbrakte resten av morgenen med å kaste
+sjøstjerner.</p>

-ligger i DNS. Nå kommer altså IP-basert omdirigering i tillegg. Når

+PDF kan lastes ned fra nettstedet til tidsskriftet. Kanskje
+publiseringen kan føre til at noen flere får øynene opp for verdien av

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

+ <div class="body"><p>When asked to accept terms of use and privacy policies that state
+it will to remove rights I otherwise had or accept unreasonable terms
+undermining my privacy, I choose away the service. I simply do not
+have the conscience to accept terms I have no indention of upholding.
+But how are the system and service providers to know how many people
+they scared away? Normally I just quietly walk away. But today, I
+tried a new approach. I sent the following email (removing the
+specifics, as I am not out to take the specific service in question)
+to the service provider I decided to not use, to at least give them
+one data point on how many users are unhappy with their terms:</p>
+
+<blockquote>

+<br>To: [contact@some.site]
+<br>Date: Sat, 07 Dec 2019 16:30:56 +0100
+
+<p>Dear [Site Owner],</p>
+
+<p>I was eager to test the system, as it seemed like a fun and
+interesting application of [some] technology, but after reading the
+terms of use and privacy policy on <URL:
+https://www.[some.site]/terms-of-use > and <URL:
+https://www.[some.site]/privacy-policy > I want you to know that I
+decided to turn away. There were several provisions in the terms and
+policy turning me off, but the final term that convinced me was being
+asked to sign away my right to reverse engineer.</p>
+
+<p>--
+<br>Happy hacking
+<br>Petter Reinholdtsen</p>

+
+<p>I do not expect much to come out of it, but sharing it here in case
+others want to give something similar a try too. If companies
+discover their terms scare away enough people, perhaps they will be
+improved...</p>

+ <div class="date">25th November 2019</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>Four years ago, I did a back of the envelope calculation on
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_would_it_cost_to_store_all_phone_calls_in_Norway_.html">how
+much it would cost to store audio recordings of all the phone calls in
+Norway</a>, and came up with NOK 2.1 million / EUR 250 000 for the
+year 2013. It is time to repeat the calculation using updated
+numbers. The calculation is based on how much data storage is needed
+for each minute of audio, how many minutes all the calls in Norway
+sums up to, multiplied by the cost of data storage.</p>
+
+<p>The number of phone call minutes for 2018 was fetched from
+<a href="https://ekomstatistikken.nkom.no/">the NKOM statistics
+site</a>, and for 2018, land line calls are listed as 434 238 000
+minutes, while mobile phone calls are listed with 7 542 006 000
+minutes. The total number of minutes is thus 7 976 244 000. For
+simplicity, I decided to ignore any advantages in audio compression the
+last four years, and continue to assume 60 Kbytes/min as the last
+time.</p>
+
+<p>Storage prices still varies a lot, but as last time, I decide to
+take a reasonable big and cheap hard drive, and double its price to
+include the surrounding costs into account. A 10 TB disk cost less
+than 4500 NOK / 450 EUR these days, and doubling it give 9000 NOK per
+10 TB.</p>
+
+<p>So, with the parameters in place, lets update the old table
+estimating cost for calls in a given year:</p>
+
+<table border="1">
+<tr><th>Year</th><th>Call minutes</th><th>Size</th><th>Price in NOK / EUR</th></tr>
+<tr><td>2005</td><td align="right">24 000 000 000</td><td align="right">1.3 PiB</td><td align="right">1 170 000 / 117 000</td></tr>
+
+<tr><td>2012</td><td align="right">18 000 000 000</td><td align="right">1.0 PiB</td><td align="right">900 000 / 90 000</td></tr>
+
+<tr><td>2013</td><td align="right">17 000 000 000</td><td align="right">950 TiB</td><td align="right">855 000 / 85 500</td></tr>
+
+<tr><td>2018</td><td align="right">7 976 244 000</td><td align="right">445 TiB</td><td align="right">401 100 / 40 110</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>Both the cost of storage and the number of phone call minutes have
+dropped since the last time, bringing the cost down to a level where I
+guess even small organizations can afford to store the audio recording
+from every phone call taken in a year in Norway. Of course, this is
+just the cost of buying the storage equipment. Maintenance, need to
+be included as well, but the volume of a single year is about a single
+rack of hard drives, so it is not much more than I could fit in my own
+home. Wonder how much the electricity bill would raise if I had that
+kind of storage? I doubt it would be more than a few tens of thousand
+NOK per year.</p>
