+               <description>&lt;p&gt;It is pleasing to see that the work we put down in publishing new
+editions of the classic &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free
+Culture book&lt;/a&gt; by the founder of the Creative Commons movement,
+Lawrence Lessig, is still being appreciated.  I had a look at the
+latest sales numbers for the paper edition today.  Not too impressive,
+but happy to see some buyers still exist.  All the revenue from the
+books is sent to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://creativecommons.org/&quot;&gt;Creative
+Commons Corporation&lt;/a&gt;, and they receive the largest cut if you buy
+directly from Lulu.  Most books are sold via Amazon, with Ingram
+second and only a small fraction directly from Lulu.  The ebook
+edition is available for free from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+  &lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;31&lt;/td&gt;
+&lt;/tr&gt;
+
+&lt;/table&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;A bit sad to see the low sales number on the Norwegian edition, and
+a bit surprising the English edition still selling so well.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you would like to translate and publish the book in your native
+language, I would be happy to help make it happen.  Please get in
+touch.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago I ordered a small batch of
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://altusmetrum.org/ChaosKey/&quot;&gt;the ChaosKey&lt;/a&gt;, a small
-USB dongle for generating entropy created by Bdale Garbee and Keith
-Packard.  Yesterday it arrived, and I am very happy to report that it
-work great!  According to its designers, to get it to work out of the
-box, you need the Linux kernel version 4.1 or later.  I tested on a
-Debian Stretch machine (kernel version 4.9), and there it worked just
-fine, increasing the available entropy very quickly.  I wrote a small
-test oneliner to test.  It first print the current entropy level,
-drain /dev/random, and then print the entropy level for five seconds.
-Here is the situation without the ChaosKey inserted:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
-  dd bs=1M if=/dev/random of=/dev/null count=1; \
-  for n in $(seq 1 5); do \
-     cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
-     sleep 1; \
-  done

-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The entropy level increases by 3-4 every second.  In such case any
-application requiring random bits (like a HTTPS enabled web server)
-will halt and wait for more entrpy.  And here is the situation with
-the ChaosKey inserted:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
-  dd bs=1M if=/dev/random of=/dev/null count=1; \
-  for n in $(seq 1 5); do \
-     cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
-     sleep 1; \

-&lt;p&gt;Quite the difference. :) I bought a few more than I need, in case
-someone want to buy one here in Norway. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update: The dongle was presented at Debconf last year.  You might
-find &lt;a href=&quot;https://debconf16.debconf.org/talks/94/&quot;&gt;the talk
-recording illuminating&lt;/a&gt;.  It explains exactly what the source of
-randomness is, if you are unable to spot it from the schema drawing
-available from the ChaosKey web site linked at the start of this blog
-post.&lt;/p&gt;
