-      <div class="body"><p>Like før kl. 11 i dag leverte jeg fem esker med gaveinnpakkede
-bøker til Stortinget, for utdeling til alle stortingsrepresentanter.
-Det ble etterfulgt av følgende pressemelding.  Stor takk til NUUG for
-lån av epostliste for å sende ut pressemeldingen.</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-
-<p><strong>Er opphavsretten for streng, spør ny bok</strong></p>
-
-<p>I dag kommer boken «<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Fri
-kultur</a>» av Lawrence Lessig ut på norsk.  Boken handler om
-utviklingen og utvidelsene opphavsretten har hatt de siste 40 årene.
-Boken er i dag gitt i gave til alle stortingsrepresentantene.
-Oversetter og utgiver Petter Reinholdtsen håper Stortinget vil tenke
-seg om to ganger neste gang det er snakk om utvidelse av
-opphavsretten.</p>
-
-<p>Boken forteller om hvordan store medieaktører ved hjelp av
-opphavsretten bruker teknologi til å begrense kulturen og kontrollere
-kreativiteten.  Den er skrevet av stifteren av
-<a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>, professor
-Lawrence Lessig, som for tiden er med i kampen om å bli Demokratenes
-<a href="https://lessig2016.us/">presidentkandidat i USA sitt
-presidentvalg i 2016</a>.  Lessig ble sist omtalt i norske medier da
-NRK i høst viste dokumentaren «Kampen for et demokratisk internett»
-som også er
-<a href="https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz">tilgjengelig
-fra The Internet Archive</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Boken beskriver hvordan opphavsrettens makt i USA har blitt
-betydelig utvidet etter 1974 langs fem kritiske akser: varighet (fra
-32 til 95 år), omfang (fra utgivere til alle), rekkevidde (gjelder nå
-enhver fremvisning via datamaskin), kontroll (avledede verk er
-definert så bredt at i praksis alle nye åndsverk risikerer søksmål fra
-en opphavsrettsinnehaver) og til sist maktkonsentrasjon og integrering
-av mediebransjen.  Den dokumenterer også hvordan medieindustrien har
-lyktes med å bruke rettsvesenet til å begrense konkurranse, og i
-praksis har skaffet seg vetorett over teknologiske nyvinninger.
-Nedlasting av fritt, lovlig og i utgangspunktet gratis materiale
-stoppes med tekniske sperrer og lobbyert lovvern av sperrene.</p>
-
-<p>Utvidelsene illustreres i boken med ulike eksempler.  For eksempel
-en demonstrasjon av at Walt Disney ville ha blitt ansett som en
-opphavsrettspirat dersom han gjorde i dag det han gjorde på
-1930-tallet.  Boken beskriver hvordan vern av åndsverk er bra, men at
-mer vern ikke nødvendigvis er bedre.<?p>
-
-<p>Petter Reinholdtsen, som sammen med flere frivillige har oversatt
-boken på fritiden de siste 3 årene, håper at boken vil gjøre en
-forskjell.  «Når en vet hvordan opphavsrettens varighet i Norge, uten
-opposisjon på Stortinget, ble utvidet nok en gang i mai i fjor, og
-hvordan Norges handelspartner USA gjennom de nye handelsavtalene
-Trans-Pacific Partnership og Transatlantic Trade and Investment
-Partnership
-<a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared">ønsker
-å utvide opphavsrettens makt også i andre land</a>, håper jeg at flere
-vil spørre: Er det virkelig fornuftig å gjøre de samme utvidelsene i
-Norge?», spør han.  «Jeg håper boken kan bidra til kunnskap og
-forståelse, og kan gi Stortinget et bedre grunnlag til å ta riktige
-beslutninger som ivaretar befolkningens og samfunnets interesser i
-Norge.»</p>
-
-<p>Petter Reinholdtsen er en mangeårig fri programvareutvikler som har
-vært med på å lage systemer som operativsystemet Debian, IT-løsningen
-Skolelinux, borgerportalen FiksGataMi og innsynstjenesten Mimes brønn.
-Han forteller han selv har opplevd problemene utvidet varighet,
-omfang, rekkevidde og kontroll i opphavsretten medfører og at boken
-var en oppvekker.  «Jeg håper andre finner boken like interessant som
-jeg gjorde.  Boken kan
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">lastes
-gratis ned fra github</a> eller
-<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">kjøpes

+      <div class="date">19th February 2016</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>Making packages for Debian requires quite a lot of attention to
+details.  And one of the details is the content of the
+debian/copyright file, which should list all relevant licenses used by
+the code in the package in question, preferably in
+<a href="https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/">machine
+readable DEP5 format</a>.</p>
+
+<p>For large packages with lots of contributors it is hard to write
+and update this file manually, and if you get some detail wrong, the
+package is normally rejected by the ftpmasters.  So getting it right
+the first time around get the package into Debian faster, and save
+both you and the ftpmasters some work..  Today, while trying to figure
+out what was wrong with
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686447">the
+zfsonlinux copyright file</a>, I decided to spend some time on
+figuring out the options for doing this job automatically, or at least
+semi-automatically.</p>
+
+<p>Lucikly, there are at least two tools available for generating the
+file based on the code in the source package,
+<tt><a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/debmake">debmake</a></tt>
+and <tt><a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cme">cme</a></tt>.  I'm
+not sure which one of them came first, but both seem to be able to
+create a sensible draft file.  As far as I can tell, none of them can
+be trusted to get the result just right, so the content need to be
+polished a bit before the file is OK to upload.  I found the debmake
+option in
+<a href="http://goofying-with-debian.blogspot.com/2014/07/debmake-checking-source-against-dep-5.html">a
+blog posts from 2014</a>.
+
+<p>To generate using debmake, use the -cc option:
+
+<p><pre>
+debmake -cc > debian/copyright
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>Note there are some problems with python and non-ASCII names, so
+this might not be the best option.</p>
+
+<p>The cme option is based on a config parsing library, and I found
+this approach in
+<a href="https://ddumont.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/improving-creation-of-debian-copyright-file/">a
+blog post from 2015</a>.  To generate using cme, use the 'update
+dpkg-copyright' option:
+
+<p><pre>
+cme update dpkg-copyright -quiet
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>This will create or update debian/copyright.  The cme tool seem to
+handle UTF-8 names better than debmake.</p>
+
+<p>When the copyright file is created, I would also like some help to
+check if the file is correct.  For this I found two good options,
+<tt>debmake -k</tt> and <tt>license-reconcile</tt>.  The former seem
+to focus on license types and file matching, and is able to detect
+ineffective blocks in the copyright file.  The latter reports missing
+copyright holders and years, but was confused by inconsistent license
+names (like CDDL vs. CDDL-1.0).  I suspect it is good to use both and
+fix all issues reported by them before uploading.  But I do not know
+if the tools and the ftpmasters agree on what is important to fix in a
+copyright file, so the package might still be rejected.</p>
+
+<p>The devscripts tool <tt>licensecheck</tt> deserve mentioning.  It
+will read through the source and try to find all copyright statements.
+It is not comparing the result to the content of debian/copyright, but
+can be useful when verifying the content of the copyright file.</p>
+
+<p>Are you aware of better tools in Debian to create and update
+debian/copyright file.  Please let me know, or blog about it on
+planet.debian.org.</p>

-<p>I 2004, mens <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative
-Commons-bevegelsen</a> vokste frem, skrev bevegelsens stifter Lawrence
-Lessig boken
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
-Culture</a> for å forklare problemene med økene åndsverksregulering og
-for å foreslå noen løsninger.  Jeg leste boken den gangen, og den både
-inspirerte meg og endret på hvordan jeg så på opphavsrettslovigving.
-Jeg skulle ønske flere folk leste denne boken.  Den gir en god
-gjennomgang av hvordan økende åndsverksregulering skader både
-nyskapning og kulturlivet, og skisserer hvordan både lovgivere og oss
-vanlige borgere kan bidra for å få slutt på dette.</p>
-
-<p>Derfor bestemte jeg meg sommeren 2012 for å oversette den til norsk
-bokmål og gjøre den tilgjengelig for de blant mine venner og familie
-som foretrekker å lese bøker på norsk.  Jeg oversatte boken ved hjelp
-av docbook og en gettext PO-fil, og endte opp med to utgaver, en på
-norsk og en på engelsk.  Den engelske publiserte jeg i forrige uke, og
-den norske utgaven på papir
-<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">er
-nå klar for salg</a>.  Jeg fikk heldigvis hjelp med oversetting og
-korrekturlesing av den norske utgaven fra en rekke frivillige.  Se
-side 245 for en komplett liste.  Slik ser omslaget ut:

-
-<p>I tillegg til den norske og engelske utgaven holder vi på med en
-fransk utgave.  Den koordineres av dblatex-utvikleren Benoît Guillon,
-og oversettelsen var komplett denne uka men må korrekturleses før den
-kan gis ut.  Flere frivillige trengs her, så ta kontakt med Benoît
-hvis du vil bidra.</p>
-
-<p>Boken er også tilgjengelig i PDF, ePub og MOBI-format fra
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">min
-github-prosjektside</a>.  Merk at ePub og MOBI-utgavene har noen

-vil ha elektronisk kopi anbefaler jeg å bruke PDF- og ePub-utgaven i
-denne omgang, da de ser ut til å hånderes bra av de fremviserne jeg
-har tilgjengelig.</p>
-
-<p>Etter at oversettelsen til bokmål var ferdig klarte jeg å overtale
-<a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">NUUG Foundation</a> til å
-sponse trykking av boken.  Det er årsaken til at stiftelsens logo er

+      <div class="date"> 4th February 2016</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>The <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DEP-11">appstream system</a>
+is taking shape in Debian, and one provided feature is a very
+convenient way to tell you which package to install to make a given
+firmware file available when the kernel is looking for it.  This can
+be done using apt-file too, but that is for someone else to blog
+about. :)</p>
+
+<p>Here is a small recipe to find the package with a given firmware
+file, in this example I am looking for ctfw-3.2.3.0.bin, randomly
+picked from the set of firmware announced using appstream in Debian
+unstable.  In general you would be looking for the firmware requested
+by the kernel during kernel module loading.  To find the package
+providing the example file, do like this:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+% apt install appstream
+[...]
+% apt update
+[...]
+% appstreamcli what-provides firmware:runtime ctfw-3.2.3.0.bin | \
+  awk '/Package:/ {print $2}'
+firmware-qlogic
+%
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>See <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines">the
+appstream wiki</a> page to learn how to embed the package metadata in
+a way appstream can use.</p>
+
+<p>This same approach can be used to find any package supporting a
+given MIME type.  This is very useful when you get a file you do not
+know how to handle.  First find the mime type using <tt>file
+--mime-type</tt>, and next look up the package providing support for
+it.  Lets say you got an SVG file.  Its MIME type is image/svg+xml,
+and you can find all packages handling this type like this:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+% apt install appstream
+[...]
+% apt update
+[...]
+% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype image/svg+xml | \
+  awk '/Package:/ {print $2}'

+postr
+ristretto
+kolourpaint4
+eog
+eom
+gimagereader
+midori
+%
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>I believe the MIME types are fetched from the desktop file for
+packages providing appstream metadata.</p>

-<p>In 2004, as the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons

-
-<p>Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to

-that prefer to read books in Norwegian.  I translated the book using
-docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
-new edition of the English original.  I've been in touch with the
-author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
-published an English version.  So I decided to do so.  Today, I made
-this edition
-<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html">available

-
-<p>The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
-few days.  I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
-months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
-join the translation project.  So far there is only one active
-person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
-need some proof reading.</p>
-
-<p>The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my

+      <div class="body"><p>Most people seem not to realise that every time they walk around
+with the computerised radio beacon known as a mobile phone their
+position is tracked by the phone company and often stored for a long
+time (like every time a SMS is received or sent).  And if their
+computerised radio beacon is capable of running programs (often called
+mobile apps) downloaded from the Internet, these programs are often
+also capable of tracking their location (if the app requested access
+during installation).  And when these programs send out information to
+central collection points, the location is often included, unless
+extra care is taken to not send the location.  The provided
+information is used by several entities, for good and bad (what is
+good and bad, depend on your point of view).  What is certain, is that
+the private sphere and the right to free movement is challenged and
+perhaps even eradicated for those announcing their location this way,
+when they share their whereabouts with private and public
+entities.</p>
+
+<p align="center"><img width="70%" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2016-01-24-nice-creepy-desktop-window.png"></p>
+
+<p>The phone company logs provide a register of locations to check out
+when one want to figure out what the tracked person was doing.  It is
+unavailable for most of us, but provided to selected government
+officials, company staff, those illegally buying information from
+unfaithful servants and crackers stealing the information.  But the
+public information can be collected and analysed, and a free software
+tool to do so is called
+<a href="http://www.geocreepy.com/">Creepy or Cree.py</a>.  I
+discovered it when I read
+<a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/Slik-kan-du-bli-overvaket-pa-Twitter-og-Instagram-uten-a-ane-det-7787884.html">an
+article about Creepy</a> in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten i
+November 2014, and decided to check if it was available in Debian.
+The python program was in Debian, but
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/creepy">the version in
+Debian</a> was completely broken and practically unmaintained.  I
+uploaded a new version which did not work quite right, but did not
+have time to fix it then.  This Christmas I decided to finally try to
+get Creepy operational in Debian.  Now a fixed version is available in
+Debian unstable and testing, and almost all Debian specific patches
+are now included
+<a href="https://github.com/jkakavas/creepy">upstream</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The Creepy program visualises geolocation information fetched from
+Twitter, Instagram, Flickr and Google+, and allow one to get a
+complete picture of every social media message posted recently in a
+given area, or track the movement of a given individual across all
+these services.  Earlier it was possible to use the search API of at
+least some of these services without identifying oneself, but these
+days it is impossible.  This mean that to use Creepy, you need to
+configure it to log in as yourself on these services, and provide
+information to them about your search interests.  This should be taken
+into account when using Creepy, as it will also share information
+about yourself with the services.</p>
+
+<p>The picture above show the twitter messages sent from (or at least
+geotagged with a position from) the city centre of Oslo, the capital
+of Norway.  One useful way to use Creepy is to first look at
+information tagged with an area of interest, and next look at all the
+information provided by one or more individuals who was in the area.
+I tested it by checking out which celebrity provide their location in
+twitter messages by checkout out who sent twitter messages near a
+Norwegian TV station, and next could track their position over time,
+making it possible to locate their home and work place, among other
+things.  A similar technique have been
+<a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/maxseddon/does-this-soldiers-instagram-account-prove-russia-is-covertl">used
+to locate Russian soldiers in Ukraine</a>, and it is both a powerful
+tool to discover lying governments, and a useful tool to help people
+understand the value of the private information they provide to the

+      <div class="date">15th January 2016</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>During his DebConf15 keynote, Jacob Appelbaum
+<a href="https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/331/what-is-to-be-done/">observed
+that those listening on the Internet lines would have good reason to
+believe a computer have a given security hole</a> if it download a
+security fix from a Debian mirror.  This is a good reason to always
+use encrypted connections to the Debian mirror, to make sure those
+listening do not know which IP address to attack.  In August, Richard
+Hartmann observed that encryption was not enough, when it was possible
+to interfere download size to security patches or the fact that
+download took place shortly after a security fix was released, and
+<a href="http://richardhartmann.de/blog/posts/2015/08/24-Tor-enabled_Debian_mirror/">proposed
+to always use Tor to download packages from the Debian mirror</a>.  He
+was not the first to propose this, as the
+<tt><a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/apt-transport-tor">apt-transport-tor</a></tt>
+package by Tim Retout already existed to make it easy to convince apt
+to use <a href="https://www.torproject.org/">Tor</a>, but I was not
+aware of that package when I read the blog post from Richard.</p>
+
+<p>Richard discussed the idea with Peter Palfrader, one of the Debian
+sysadmins, and he set up a Tor hidden service on one of the central
+Debian mirrors using the address vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion, thus making
+it possible to download packages directly between two tor nodes,
+making sure the network traffic always were encrypted.</p>
+
+<p>Here is a short recipe for enabling this on your machine, by
+installing <tt>apt-transport-tor</tt> and replacing http and https
+urls with tor+http and tor+https, and using the hidden service instead
+of the official Debian mirror site.  I recommend installing
+<tt>etckeeper</tt> before you start to have a history of the changes
+done in /etc/.</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+apt install apt-transport-tor
+sed -i 's% http://ftp.debian.org/%tor+http://vwakviie2ienjx6t.onion/%' /etc/apt/sources.list
+sed -i 's% http% tor+http%' /etc/apt/sources.list
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>If you have more sources listed in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, run
+the sed commands for these too.  The sed command is assuming your are
+using the ftp.debian.org Debian mirror.  Adjust the command (or just
+edit the file manually) to match your mirror.</p>
+
+<p>This work in Debian Jessie and later.  Note that tools like
+<tt>apt-file</tt> only recently started using the apt transport
+system, and do not work with these tor+http URLs.  For
+<tt>apt-file</tt> you need the version currently in experimental,
+which need a recent apt version currently only in unstable.  So if you
+need a working <tt>apt-file</tt>, this is not for you.</p>
+
+<p>Another advantage from this change is that your machine will start
+using Tor regularly and at fairly random intervals (every time you
+update the package lists or upgrade or install a new package), thus
+masking other Tor traffic done from the same machine.  Using Tor will
+become normal for the machine in question.</p>
+
+<p>On <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">Freedombox</a>, APT
+is set up by default to use <tt>apt-transport-tor</tt> when Tor is
+enabled.  It would be great if it was the default on any Debian
+system.</p>

+      <div class="body"><p>When I was a kid, we used to collect "car numbers", as we used to
+call the car license plate numbers in those days.  I would write the
+numbers down in my little book and compare notes with the other kids
+to see how many region codes we had seen and if we had seen some
+exotic or special region codes and numbers.  It was a fun game to pass
+time, as we kids have plenty of it.</p>
+
+<p>A few days I came across
+<a href="https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr">the OpenALPR
+project</a>, a free software project to automatically discover and
+report license plates in images and video streams, and provide the
+"car numbers" in a machine readable format.  I've been looking for
+such system for a while now, because I believe it is a bad idea that the
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number_plate_recognition">automatic
+number plate recognition</a> tool only is available in the hands of
+the powerful, and want it to be available also for the powerless to
+even the score when it comes to surveillance and sousveillance.  I
+discovered the developer
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/747509">wanted to get the tool into
+Debian</a>, and as I too wanted it to be in Debian, I volunteered to
+help him get it into shape to get the package uploaded into the Debian
+archive.</p>
+
+<p>Today we finally managed to get the package into shape and uploaded
+it into Debian, where it currently
+<a href="https://ftp-master.debian.org//new/openalpr_2.2.1-1.html">waits
+in the NEW queue</a> for review by the Debian ftpmasters.</p>
+
+<p>I guess you are wondering why on earth such tool would be useful
+for the common folks, ie those not running a large government
+surveillance system?  Well, I plan to put it in a computer on my bike
+and in my car, tracking the cars nearby and allowing me to be notified
+when number plates on my watch list are discovered.  Another use case
+was suggested by a friend of mine, who wanted to set it up at his home
+to open the car port automatically when it discovered the plate on his
+car.  When I mentioned it perhaps was a bit foolhardy to allow anyone
+capable of placing his license plate number of a piece of cardboard to
+open his car port, men replied that it was always unlocked anyway.  I
+guess for such use case it make sense.  I am sure there are other use
+cases too, for those with imagination and a vision.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to build your own version of the Debian package, check
+out the upstream git source and symlink ./distros/debian to ./debian/
+before running "debuild" to build the source.  Or wait a bit until the
+package show up in unstable.</p>

-
-<p>Oppdatering 2015-10-07: Jeg er blitt spurt hvorfor jeg antar at
-AirWatch-agenten rapporterer til USA og ikke direkte til Stortingets
-egen infrastruktur.  Det stemmer at det er teknisk mulig å sette
-opp mobiltelefonene til å rapportere til datamaskiner som eies av
-Stortinget.  Jeg antar det rapporteres til AirWatch sine sentrale
-tjenester basert på det jeg leste fra beskrivelsen av
-<a href="http://www.airwatch.com/solutions/mobile-device-management/">Mobile
-Device Management</A> på AirWatch sine egne nettsider, koblet med at
-det brukes en standard app som kan hentes fra "app-butikkene" for å få
-tilgang.  Enten må app-en settes opp individuelt hos Stortinget, eller
-så får den beskjed fra AirWatch i USA om hvor den skal koble seg opp.
-I det første tilfellet vil den ikke rapportere direkte til USA, men
-til programvare utviklet av AirWatch som kjører på en maskin under
-Stortingets kontroll.  Det er litt bedre, men fortsatt vil det være
-umulig for Stortinget å være sikker på hva programvaren som tar imot
-forbindelser gjør.  Jeg ser fra beskrivelsen av
-<a href="http://www.airwatch.com/differentiators/enterprise-integration/">Enterprice
-Integration</a> hos AirWatch at det er mulig å ha lokal installasjon,
-og håper innsynsforespørsler mot Stortinget kan fortelle mer om

+      <div class="date">20th December 2015</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>Around three years ago, I created
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/isenkram">the isenkram
+system</a> to get a more practical solution in Debian for handing
+hardware related packages.  A GUI system in the isenkram package will
+present a pop-up dialog when some hardware dongle supported by
+relevant packages in Debian is inserted into the machine.  The same
+lookup mechanism to detect packages is available as command line
+tools in the isenkram-cli package.  In addition to mapping hardware,
+it will also map kernel firmware files to packages and make it easy to
+install needed firmware packages automatically.  The key for this
+system to work is a good way to map hardware to packages, in other
+words, allow packages to announce what hardware they will work
+with.</p>
+
+<p>I started by providing data files in the isenkram source, and
+adding code to download the latest version of these data files at run
+time, to ensure every user had the most up to date mapping available.
+I also added support for storing the mapping in the Packages file in
+the apt repositories, but did not push this approach because while I
+was trying to figure out how to best store hardware/package mappings,
+<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/">the
+appstream system</a> was announced.  I got in touch and suggested to
+add the hardware mapping into that data set to be able to use
+appstream as a data source, and this was accepted at least for the
+Debian version of appstream.</p>
+
+<p>A few days ago using appstream in Debian for this became possible,
+and today I uploaded a new version 0.20 of isenkram adding support for
+appstream as a data source for mapping hardware to packages.  The only
+package so far using appstream to announce its hardware support is my
+pymissile package.  I got help from Matthias Klumpp with figuring out
+how do add the required

+<p>The key for isenkram is the component/provides/modalias value,
+which is a glob style match rule for hardware specific strings
+(modalias strings) provided by the Linux kernel.  In this case, it
+will map to all USB devices with vendor code 1130 and product code
+0202.</p>
+
+<p>Note, it is important that the license of all the metadata files
+are compatible to have permissions to aggregate them into archive wide
+appstream files.  Matthias suggested to use MIT or BSD licenses for
+these files.  A challenge is figuring out a good id for the data, as
+it is supposed to be globally unique and shared across distributions
+(in other words, best to coordinate with upstream what to use).  But
+it can be changed later or, so we went with the package name as
+upstream for this project is dormant.</p>
+
+<p>To get the metadata file installed in the correct location for the
+mirror update scripts to pick it up and include its content the
+appstream data source, the file must be installed in the binary
+package under /usr/share/appdata/.  I did this by adding the following
+line to debian/pymissile.install:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+debian/pymissile.metainfo.xml usr/share/appdata
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>With that in place, the command line tool isenkram-lookup will list
+all packages useful on the current computer automatically, and the GUI
+pop-up handler will propose to install the package not already
+installed if a hardware dongle is inserted into the machine in
+question.</p>
+
+<p>Details of the modalias field in appstream is available from the 
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DEP-11">DEP-11</a> proposal.</p>
+
+<p>To locate the modalias values of all hardware present in a machine,
+try running this command on the command line:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+cat $(find /sys/devices/|grep modalias)

+<p>Jeg ble gledelig overrasket i dag da jeg oppdaget at boken jeg har
+gitt ut
+<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fri-kultur-Norwegian-Lawrence-Lessig/dp/8269018236/">hadde
+dukket opp i Amazon</a>.  Jeg hadde trodd det skulle ta lenger tid, da
+jeg fikk beskjed om at det skulle ta seks til åtte uker.
+Amazonoppføringen er et resultat av at jeg for noen uker siden
+diskuterte prissetting og håndtering av profitt med forfatteren.  Det
+måtte avklares da bruksvilkårene til boken har krav om
+ikke-kommersiell bruk.  Vi ble enige om at overskuddet fra salg av
+boken skal sendes til
+<a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons-stiftelsen</a>.
+Med det på plass kunne jeg be
+<a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">lulu.com</a>
+om å gi boken «utvidet» distribusjon.  Årsaken til at
+bokhandeldistribusjon var litt utfordrende er at bokhandlere krever
+mulighet for profitt på bøkene de selger (selvfølgelig), og dermed
+måtte de få lov til å selge til høyere pris enn lulu.com.  I tillegg
+er det krav om samme pris på lulu.com og i bokhandlene, dermed blir
+prisen økt også hos lulu.com.  Hva skulle jeg gjøre med den profitten
+uten å bryte med klausulen om ikkekommersiell?  Løsningen var å gi
+bort profitten til CC-stiftelsen.  Prisen på boken ble nesten
+tredoblet, til $19.99 (ca. 160,-) pluss frakt, men synligheten øker
+betraktelig når den kan finnes i katalogene til store nettbokhandlere.
+Det betyr at hvis du allerede har kjøpt boken har du fått den veldig
+billig, og kjøper du den nå, får du den fortsatt billig samt donerer i
+tillegg noen tiere til fremme av Creative Commons.</p>
+
+<p>Mens jeg var i gang med å titte etter informasjon om boken 
+oppdaget jeg  at den også var dukket opp på
+<a href="https://books.google.no/books?id=uKUGCwAAQBAJ">Google
+Books</a>, der en kan lese den på web.  PDF-utgaven har ennå ikke
+dukket opp hos <a href="https://www.nb.no/">Nasjonalbiblioteket</a>,
+men det regner jeg med kommer på plass i løpet av noen uker.  Boken er
+heller ikke dukket opp hos
+<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/">Barnes & Noble</a> ennå, men
+jeg antar det bare er et tidsspørsmål før dette er på plass.</p>
+
+<p>Boken er dessverre ikke tilgjengelig fra norske bokhandlere, og
+kommer neppe til å bli det med det første.  Årsaken er at for å få det
+til måtte jeg personlig håndtere bestilling av bøker, hvilket jeg ikke
+er interessert i å bruke tid på.  Jeg kunne betalt ca 2000,- til
+<a href="http://www.bokbasen.no/">den norske bokbasen</a>, en felles
+database over bøker tilgjengelig for norske bokhandlere, for å få en
+oppføring der, men da måtte jeg tatt imot bestillinger på epost og
+sendt ut bøker selv.  Det ville krevd at jeg var klar til å
+sende ut bøker på kort varsel, dvs. holdt meg med ekstra bøker,
+konvolutter og frimerker.  Bokbasen har visst ikke opplegg for å be
+bokhandlene bestille direkte via web, så jeg droppet oppføring der.
+Jeg har spurt Haugen bok og Tronsmo direkte på epost om de er
+interessert i å ta inn boken i sin bestillingskatalog, men ikke fått
+svar, så jeg antar de ikke er interessert.  Derimot har jeg fått en
+hyggelig henvendelse fra Biblioteksentralen som fortalte at de har
+lagt den inn i sin database slik at deres bibliotekskunder enkelt kan
+bestille den via dem.</p>
+
+<p>Boken er i følge
+<a href="http://bibsys-almaprimo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?tabs=detailsTab&ct=display&fn=search&doc=BIBSYS_ILS71518423420002201&indx=1&recIds=BIBSYS_ILS71518423420002201&recIdxs=0&elementId=0&renderMode=poppedOut&displayMode=full&frbrVersion=&dscnt=0&tab=library_catalogue&dstmp=1448543801124&vl(freeText0)=fri%20kultur&vid=UBO&mode=Basic">Bibsys/Oria</a>

+<a href="https://www.deich.folkebibl.no/cgi-bin/websok?tnr=1819617">Deichmanske</a>
+tilgjengelig fra flere biblioteker allerede, og alle eksemplarer er
+visst allerede utlånt med ventetid.  Det synes jeg er veldig gledelig
+å se.  Jeg håper mange kommer til å lese boken.  Jeg tror den er
+spesielt egnet for foreldre og bekjente av oss nerder for å forklare
+hva slags problemer vi ser med dagens opphavsrettsregime.</p>

-<p>I wrote a small script to create a graph of the charge development

-
-<p>But why is this happening?  Why are my laptop batteries always

-satellites keep working year after year.  If we are to believe
-<a href="http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries">Battery
-University</a>, the cause is me charging the battery whenever I have a
-chance, and the fix is to not charge the Lithium-ion batteries to 100%
-all the time, but to stay below 90% of full charge most of the time.
-I've been told that the Tesla electric cars
-<a href="http://my.teslamotors.com/de_CH/forum/forums/battery-charge-limit">limit
-the charge of their batteries to 80%</a>, with the option to charge to
-100% when preparing for a longer trip (not that I would want a car
-like Tesla where rights to privacy is abandoned, but that is another
-story), which I guess is the option we should have for laptops on
-Linux too.</p>
-
-<p>Is there a good and generic way with Linux to tell the battery to
-stop charging at 80%, unless requested to charge to 100% once in
-preparation for a longer trip?  I found
-<a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/34452/how-can-i-limit-battery-charging-to-80-capacity">one
-recipe on askubuntu for Ubuntu to limit charging on Thinkpad to
-80%</a>, but could not get it to work (kernel module refused to
-load).</p>
-
-<p>I wonder why the battery capacity was reported to be more than 100%
-at the start.  I also wonder why the "full capacity" increases some
-times, and if it is possible to repeat the process to get the battery
-back to design capacity.  And I wonder if the discharge and charge
-speed change over time, or if this stay the same.  I did not yet try
-to write a tool to calculate the derivative values of the battery
-level, but suspect some interesting insights might be learned from
-those.</p>
-
-<p>Update 2015-09-24: I got a tip to install the packages
-acpi-call-dkms and tlp (unfortunately missing in Debian stable)
-packages instead of the tp-smapi-dkms package I had tried to use
-initially, and use 'tlp setcharge 40 80' to change when charging start
-and stop.  I've done so now, but expect my existing battery is toast
-and need to be replaced.  The proposal is unfortunately Thinkpad
-specific.</p>
+and its a simple fact of our modern society that such type of
+work<br/>
+
+is incredibly expensive to do and incredibly difficult to do.

+the production of more proprietary software as people discover useful
+software, extend it and or incorporate it into their hardware or

+expectations of license compliance are violated, usually out of

-      <div class="date"> 3rd September 2015</div>
-      <div class="body"><p>Creating a good looking book cover proved harder than I expected.
-I wanted to create a cover looking similar to the original cover of
-the
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Free
-Culture</a> book we are translating to Norwegian, and I wanted it in
-vector format for high resolution printing.  But my inkscape knowledge
-were not nearly good enough to pull that off.
-
-<p>But thanks to the great inkscape community, I was able to wrap up
-the cover yesterday evening.  I asked on the
-<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23inkscape">#inkscape IRC channel</a>
-on Freenode for help and clues, and Marc Jeanmougin (Mc-) volunteered
-to try to recreate it based on the PDF of the cover from the HTML
-version.  Not only did he create a
-<a href="https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/copy1.svg ">SVG document with
-the original and his vector version side by side</a>, he even provided
-an <a href="https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/out-1.ogv">instruction
-video</a> explaining how he did it</a>.  But the instruction video is
-not easy to follow for an untrained inkscape user. The video is a
-recording on how he did it, and he is obviously very experienced as
-the menu selections are very quick and he mentioned on IRC that he did
-use some keyboard shortcuts that can't be seen on the video, but it
-give a good idea about the inkscape operations to use to create the
-stripes with the embossed copyright sign in the center.</p>
-
-<p>I took his SVG file, copied the vector image and re-sized it to fit
-on the cover I was drawing.  I am happy with the end result, and the
-current english version look like this:</p>
-
-<img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-09-03-free-culture-cover.png" width="70%" align="center"/>
-
-<p>I am not quite sure about the text on the back, but guess it will
-do.  I picked three quotes from the official site for the book, and
-hope it will work to trigger the interest of potential readers.  The
-Norwegian cover will look the same, but with the texts and bar code
-replaced with the Norwegian version.</p>
-
-<p>The book is very close to being ready for publication, and I expect
-to upload the final draft to Lulu in the next few days and order a
-final proof reading copy to verify that everything look like it should
-before allowing everyone to order their own copy of Free Culture, in
-English or Norwegian Bokmål.  I'm waiting to give the the productive
-proof readers a chance to complete their work.</p>
