-               <description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I had a look at several approaches, for example
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mfoetsch/dlna_live_streaming&quot;&gt;using uPnP
-DLNA as described in 2011&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I did not spend much time investigating codeces.  I combined the
-rtp and rtsp recipes from
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo/Command_Line_Examples/&quot;&gt;the
-VLC Streaming HowTo/Command Line Examples&lt;/a&gt;, and was able to get
-this working on the desktop/streaming end.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-vlc screen:// --sout \
-  &#39;#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:rtp{dst=projector.local,port=1234,sdp=rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/test.sdp}&#39;
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I ssh-ed into my Kodi box and created a file like this with the
-same IP address:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-echo rtsp://192.168.11.4:8080/test.sdp \
-  &gt; /storage/videos/screenstream.m3u
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.m4u on the Kodi machine and adjust the vlc
-repice.  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. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Det er tett med sensorstasjoner langs veinettet i Norge, som
+registrerer hvilke kjøretøy som passerer eller tar bilde av de som
+drar forbi.  I følge
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://vegkart.atlas.vegvesen.no/&quot;&gt;Vegvesenets nasjonale
+veidatabank (NVDB)&lt;/a&gt;, er det 353 bomstasjoner langs det norske
+veinettet.  21 i nordnorge, 48 i trøndelagsområdet, 13 på
+nordvestlandet, 91 i bergenstraktene og 180 på østlandsområdet.  I
+tillegg finnes det et utall overvåkningskamera og noen titalls
+RFID-avlesere for bompengebrikker som samler inn informasjon om hvilke
+biler som befinner seg hvor i landet.  For ikke å glemme alle
+mobilbasestasjoner som registrerer hvor brukere av mobilnettverket
+befinner seg.  De er ikke tema i dag.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;De som kjører mye har interesse av å vite hvor mye bompenger det vil
+koste å kjøre fra et sted til et annet, og dette behovet har aktørene
+bak &lt;a href=&quot;https://bompengekalkulator.no/&quot;&gt;Bompengekalkulatoren&lt;/a&gt;
+tatt sikte på å tilby i markedet.  Fornuftig nok har de også en
+gratistjeneste, slik at de får frivillige til å gi innspill om feil i
+datagrunnlaget.  Jeg ble nylig nysgjerring på hvor mye det til koste å
+kjøre på kryss og tvers i Norge, og valgte meg ut en teststrekning fra
+Oslo til Tromsø for å se hvilke beløp som gjelder.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Bompengekalkulatoren viser frem flere rutealternativer for et gitt
+reisesøk, og i dette tilfellet, for reise fra Oslo Sentralstasjon til
+Tromsø sentrum, viser den tre alternativ.  Merk, disse tallene gjelder
+bensindrevet personbil.  En kan velge takstkategori i
+webgrensesnittet.  Det ene rutealternativet er E6 gjennom Norge, de to
+andre er E45 og E4 gjennom sverige.  E45 er innlandsruten i Sverige,
+motorvei gjennom store skoger som i følge kalkulatoren skal ta 22
+timer og 26 minutter med norsk bompengebeløp på 164 kroner.  Jeg har
+mine tvil til om datasettet til Bompengekalkulatoren har svenske
+bomstasjoner, så ta dette beløpet med en klype salt.  E4 er veien
+langs Bottenviken og mer befolket område, og skal ta 22 timer og 50
+minutter til en norsk bompengebeløp på 71 kroner.  Den norske ruten
+langs E6 skal derimot ta 23 timer og 16 minutter og beløpe seg til 664
+kroner.  Beløpene er uten autopass-brikke, slik at en slipper å få
+bilens posisjon registrert i alle bompengeavleserne som ikke også er
+bomstasjoner.  For trailere er bompengekostnaden 2-3 ganger så høy som
+for personbil.  I tillegg til pengebeløpet, som faktureres
+etterskuddsvis og de siste årene har blitt umulig å gjøre opp kontant
+på stedet, så kommer kostnaden med å få sine personopplysninger samlet
+inn, lagret og gjort tilgjengelig for fremmede på ubestemt tid.  Jeg
+ser på den kostnaden som mye høyere en pengebeløpet som
+faktureres.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For en tilsvarende tur fra Oslo til Bergen, så forteller
+kalkulatoren at raskeste vei er riksvei 7 på 7 timer 4 minutter med
+bompengebeløp 409 kroner.  Alternativene listet opp er E134 på 8 timer
+37 minutter med bompengebeløp 318 kroner og fylkesivei 40 på 7 timer
+30 minutter med beløp 331.  Det kan kanskje være greit å sjekke ut før
+en setter seg i bilen hvor ens personopplysninger vil bli samlet inn
+og lagret 5 fem år, når en velger hvilken rute en går for.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
+det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
+til min adresse

+Merk, betaling med bitcoin er ikke anonymt. :)&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Mon, 9 Jul 2018 08:05:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Five years ago,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_is_the_most_supported_MIME_type_in_Debian_.html&quot;&gt;I
-measured what the most supported MIME type in Debian was&lt;/a&gt;, 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:
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debian Unstable:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-  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
-     27 inode/directory
-     27 image/x-portable-bitmap
-     27 audio/x-mpeg
-     26 application/x-ogg
-     25 audio/x-mpegurl
-     25 audio/ogg
-     24 text/html
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The list was created like this using a sid chroot: &quot;cat
-/var/lib/apt/lists/*sid*_dep11_Components-amd64.yml.gz| zcat | awk &#39;/^
-- \S+\/\S+$/ {print $2 }&#39; | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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 &quot;file --mime &amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;&quot;, and then
-look up all packages announcing support for this format in their
-AppStream metadata (XML or .desktop file) using &quot;appstreamcli
-what-provides mimetype &amp;lt;mime-type&amp;gt;.  For example if you, like
-me, want to know which packages support inode/directory, you can get a
-list like this:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% 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: k4dirstat
-Package: kaffeine
-Package: kdesvn
-Package: kid3
-Package: kid3-qt
-Package: nautilus
-Package: nemo
-Package: pcmanfm
-Package: pcmanfm-qt
-Package: qweborf
-Package: ranger
-Package: sirikali
-Package: spacefm
-Package: spacefm
-Package: vifm
-%
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Using the same method, I can quickly discover that the Sketchup file
-format is not yet supported by any package in Debian:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype  application/vnd.sketchup.skp
-Could not find component providing &#39;mimetype::application/vnd.sketchup.skp&#39;.
-%
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I used it to figure out which packages support the STL 3D
-format:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-% appstreamcli what-provides mimetype  application/sla|grep Package
-Package: cura
-Package: meshlab
-Package: printrun
-%
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;PS: A new version of Cura was uploaded to Debian yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I am very happy to report that a more reliable
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent&quot;&gt;VLC
+bittorrent plugin&lt;/a&gt; was just uploaded into debian.  This fixes a
+couple of crash bugs in the plugin, hopefully making the VLC
+experience even better when streaming directly from a bittorrent
+source.  The package is currently in Debian unstable, but should be
+available in Debian testing in two days.  To test it, simply install
+it like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+apt install vlc-plugin-bittorrent
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;After it is installed, you can try to use it to play a file
+downloaded live via bittorrent like this:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+vlc https://archive.org/download/Glass_201703/Glass_201703_archive.torrent
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It also support magnet links and local .torrent files.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_APT_upgrade_without_enough_free_space_on_the_disk___.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_APT_upgrade_without_enough_free_space_on_the_disk___.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Sun, 8 Jul 2018 12:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;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 &#39;apt upgrade&#39;.  I normally
-would resolve the issue by doing &#39;apt install &amp;lt;somepackages&amp;gt;&#39; 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 &#39;apt-in-chunks&#39;:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-#!/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 [ &quot;$1&quot; ]; then
-       grep -v &quot;$1&quot;
-    else
-       cat
-    fi
-}
-
-for p in $(apt list --upgradable | ignore &quot;$@&quot; |cut -d/ -f1 | grep -v &#39;^Listing...&#39;); do
-    echo &quot;Upgrading $p&quot;
-    apt clean
-    apt install --download-only -y $p
-    for f in /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb; do
-       if [ -e &quot;$f&quot; ]; then
-           dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
-           break
-       fi
-    done
-done
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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
-&#39;apt install -f&#39; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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
-&#39;ghc&#39;, but I have run into other large packages causing similar
-problems earlier (like TeX).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2018-07-08: Thanks to Paul Wise, I am aware of two
-alternative ways to handle this.  The &quot;unattended-upgrades
---minimal-upgrade-steps&quot; 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, &quot;aptutude upgrade&quot; can upgrade single packages, thus avoiding
-the need for using &quot;dpkg -i&quot; in the script above.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been way too long since my last interview, but as the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
+community is still active, and new people keep showing up on the IRC
+channel &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/#debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/&quot;&gt;the debian-edu mailing
+list&lt;/a&gt;, I decided to give it another go.  I was hoping someone else
+might pick up the idea and run with it, but this has not happened as
+far as I can tell, so here we are… This time the announcement of a new
+free software tool to
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://framagit.org/Yvan-Masson/WhosWho&quot;&gt;create a school year
+book&lt;/a&gt; triggered my interest, and I decided to learn more about its
+author.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My name is Yvan MASSON, I live in France. I have my own one person
+business in computer services.  The work consist of visiting my
+customers (person&#39;s home, local authority, small business) to give
+advise, install computers and software, fix issues, and provide
+computing usage training.  I spend the rest of my time enjoying my
+family and promoting free software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your approach for promoting free
+software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When I think that free software could be suitable for someone, I
+explain what it is, with simple words, give a few known examples, and
+explain that while there is no fee it is a viable alternative in many
+situations. Most people are receptive when you explain how it is
+better (I simplify arguments here, I know that it is not so simple):
+Linux works on older hardware, there are no viruses, and the software
+can be audited to ensure user is not spied upon. I think the most
+important is to keep a clear but moderated speech: when you try to
+convince too much, people feel attacked and stop listening.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
+project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I can not remember how I first heard of Skolelinux / Debian Edu,
+but probably on planet.debian.org. As I have been working for a
+school, I have interest in this type of project.
+
+&lt;p&gt;The school I am involved in is a school for &quot;children&quot; between 14
+and 18 years old.  The French government has recommended free software
+since 2012, but they do not always use free software themselves.  The
+school computers are still using the Windows operating system, but all
+of them have the classic set of free software: Firefox ESR,
+LibreOffice (with the excellent extension Grammalecte that indicates
+French grammatical errors), SumatraPDF, Audacity, 7zip, KeePass2, VLC,
+GIMP, Inkscape…
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It is free software! Built on Debian, I am sure that users are not
+spied upon, and that it can run on low end hardware.  This last point
+is very important, because we really need to improve &quot;green IT&quot;.  I do
+not know enough about Skolelinux / Debian Edu to tell how it is better
+than another free software solution, but what I like is the &quot;all in
+one&quot; solution: everything has been thought of and prepared to ease
+installation and usage.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I like Free Software because I hate using something that I can not
+understand. I do not say that I can understand everything nor that I
+want to understand everything, but knowing that someone / some company
+intentionally prevents me from understanding how things work is really
+unacceptable to me.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Secondly, and more importantly, free software is a requirement to
+prevent abuses regarding human rights and environmental care.
+Humanity can not rely on tools that are in the hands of small group of
+people.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Again, I don&#39;t know this project enough. Maybe a dedicated website?
+Debian wiki works well for documentation, but is not very appealing to
+someone discovering the project. Also, as Skolelinux / Debian Edu uses
+OpenLDAP, it probably means that Windows workstations cannot use
+centralized authentication. Maybe the project could use Samba as an
+Active Directory domain controller instead, allowing Windows desktop
+usage when necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;(Editors note: In fact Windows workstations can
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/HowTo/Samba&quot;&gt;use
+the centralized authentication in a Debian Edu setup&lt;/a&gt;, at least for
+some versions of Windows, but the fact that this is not well known can
+be seen as an indication of the need for better documentation and
+marketing. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+     
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Nothing original: Debian testing/sid with Gnome desktop, Firefox,
+Thunderbird, LibreOffice…&lt;/p&gt;
+     
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Every effort to spread free software into schools is important,
+whatever it is. But I think, at least where I live, that IT
+professionals maintaining schools networks are still very &quot;Microsoft
+centric&quot;.  Schools will use any working solution, but they need people
+to install and maintain it.  How to make these professionals sensitive
+about free software and train them with solutions like Debian Edu /
+Skolelinux is a really good question :-)&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;So far, at least hydro-electric power, coal power, wind power,
-solar power, and wood power are well known.  Until a few days ago, I
-had never heard of stone power.  Then I learn about a quarry in a
-mountain in
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremanger&quot;&gt;Bremanger&lt;/a&gt; i
-Norway, where
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/&quot;&gt;the
-Bremanger Quarry&lt;/a&gt; company is extracting stone and dumping the stone
-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
-stone power plant?&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Fri, 8 May 2020 13:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Half a year ago,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Jami_Ring__finally_functioning_peer_to_peer_communication_client.html&quot;&gt;I
+wrote&lt;/a&gt; about &lt;a href=&quot;https://jami.net/&quot;&gt;the Jami communication
+client&lt;/a&gt;, capable of peer-to-peer encrypted communication.  It
+handle both messages, audio and video.  It uses distributed hash
+tables instead of central infrastructure to connect its users to each
+other, which in my book is a plus.  I mentioned briefly that it could
+also work as a SIP client, which came in handy when the higher
+educational sector in Norway started to promote Zoom as its video
+conferencing solution.  I am reluctant to use the official Zoom client
+software, due to their &lt;a href=&quot;https://zoom.us/terms&quot;&gt;copyright
+license clauses&lt;/a&gt; prohibiting users to reverse engineer (for example
+to check the security) and benchmark it, and thus prefer to connect to
+Zoom meetings with free software clients.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jami worked OK as a SIP client to Zoom as long as there was no
+password set on the room.  The Jami daemon leak memory like crazy
+(approximately 1 GiB a minute) when I am connected to the video
+conference, so I had to restart the client every 7-10 minutes, which
+is not a great.  I tried to get other SIP Linux clients to work
+without success, so I decided I would have to live with this wart
+until someone managed to fix the leak in the dring code base.  But
+another problem showed up once the rooms were password protected.  I
+could not get my dial tone signaling through from Jami to Zoom, and
+dial tone signaling is used to enter the password when connecting to
+Zoom.  I tried a lot of different permutations with my Jami and
+Asterisk setup to try to figure out why the signaling did not get
+through, only to finally discover that the fundamental problem seem to
+be that Zoom is simply not able to receive dial tone signaling when
+connecting via SIP.  There seem to be nothing wrong with the Jami and
+Asterisk end, it is simply broken in the Zoom end.  I got help from a
+very skilled VoIP engineer figuring out this last part.  And being a
+very skilled engineer, he was also able to locate a solution for me.
+Or to be exact, a workaround that solve my initial problem of
+connecting to password protected Zoom rooms using Jami.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So, how do you do this, I am sure you are wondering by now.  The
+trick is already
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/202405539-H-323-SIP-Room-Connector-Dial-Strings#sip&quot;&gt;documented
+from Zoom&lt;/a&gt;, and it is to modify the SIP address to include the room
+password.  What is most surprising about this is that the
+automatically generated email from Zoom with instructions on how to
+connect via SIP do not mention this.  The SIP address to use normally
+consist of the room ID (a number), an @ character and the IP address
+of the Zoom SIP gateway.  But Zoom understand a lot more than just the
+room ID in front of the at sign.  The format is &quot;&lt;tt&gt;[Meeting
+ID].[Password].[Layout].[Host Key]&lt;/tt&gt;&quot;, and you can hear see how you
+can both enter password, control the layout (full screen, active
+presence and gallery) and specify the host key to start the meeting.
+The full SIP address entered into Jami to provide the password will
+then look like this (all using made up numbers):&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;tt&gt;sip:657837644.522827@192.168.169.170&lt;/tt&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Now if only jami would reduce its memory usage, I could even
+recommend this setup to others. :)&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;My movie playing setup involve &lt;a href=&quot;https://kodi.tv/&quot;&gt;Kodi&lt;/a&gt;,
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://openelec.tv&quot;&gt;OpenELEC&lt;/a&gt; (probably soon to be
-replaced with &lt;a href=&quot;https://libreelec.tv/&quot;&gt;LibreELEC&lt;/a&gt;) 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, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.infocus.com/&quot;&gt;InFocus&lt;/a&gt;, 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
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/infocus-projector-control&quot;&gt;a
-small script to control the projector&lt;/a&gt;.  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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial&quot;&gt;pyserial module&lt;/a&gt; in
-the add-on.  The long term solution is to make a &quot;script&quot; type
-pyserial module for Kodi, that can be pulled in as a dependency in
-Kodi.  But until that in place, I embed it.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.
-
-&lt;p&gt;If this sound interesting to you, check out
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/fredrik-eriksson/kodi_projcontrol&quot;&gt;the
-project github repository&lt;/a&gt;.  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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The curiosity got the better of me when
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://developers.slashdot.org/story/20/04/06/1424246/new-jersey-desperately-needs-cobol-programmers&quot;&gt;Slashdot
+reported&lt;/a&gt; that New Jersey was desperately looking for
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COBOL&quot;&gt;COBOL&lt;/a&gt; programmers,
+and a few days later it was reported that
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://onezero.medium.com/ibm-rallies-cobol-engineers-to-save-overloaded-unemployment-systems-eeadf13eddce&quot;&gt;IBM
+tried to locate COBOL programmers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I thus decided to have a look at free software alternatives to
+learn COBOL, and had the pleasure to find
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/projects/open-cobol/&quot;&gt;GnuCOBOL&lt;/a&gt; was
+already &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnucobol&quot;&gt;in
+Debian&lt;/a&gt;.  It used to be called Open Cobol, and is a &quot;compiler&quot;
+transforming COBOL code to C or C++ before giving it to GCC or Visual
+Studio to build binaries.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I managed to get in touch with upstream, and was impressed with the
+quick response, and also was happy to see a new Debian maintainer
+taking over when the original one recently asked to be replaced.  A
+new Debian upload was done as recently as yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Using the Debian package, I was able to follow a simple COBOL
+introduction and make and run simple COBOL programs.  It was fun to
+learn a new programming language.  If you want to test for yourself,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnuCOBOL&quot;&gt;the GnuCOBOL Wikipedia
+page&lt;/a&gt; have a few simple examples to get you startet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As I do not have much experience with COBOL, I do not know how
+standard compliant it is, but it claim to pass most tests from COBOL
+test suite, which sound good to me.  It is nice to know it is possible
+to learn COBOL using software without any usage restrictions, and I am
+very happy such nice free software project as this is available.  If
+you as me is curious about COBOL, check it out.&lt;/p&gt;

-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

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Nedlasting_fra_NRK__som_Matroska_med_undertekster.html&quot;&gt;før&lt;/a&gt;.
-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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Sist jeg så på saken, i 2016, nevnte jeg at
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/&quot;&gt;youtube-dl&lt;/a&gt; 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 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;
-og &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ubuntu.com/&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;, slik at en slipper å
-finne ut selv hvordan en skal få dem til å virke.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For å laste ned et NRK-innslag med undertekster, og få den norske
-underteksten pakket inn i videofilen, så kan følgende kommando
-brukes:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format ttml \
-  --convert-subtitles srt --embed-subs \
-  https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ramm-ferdig-gaa/MUHU11000316/27-04-2018
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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 &#39;--write-auto-sub&#39;,
-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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Best___ikke_fortelle_noen_at_streaming_er_nedlasting___.html&quot;&gt;vesensforskjellig
-å legge tilgjengelig for nedlasting og for streaming&lt;/a&gt;, når det rent
-teknisk er samme sak.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg er blitt spurt hva jeg synes om lansering av smittestopp-appen,
+overvåkningsløsningen lansert av Folkehelseinstituttet,
+Simula-senteret og Regjeringen i dag, fulgt av klare trusler fra
+regjeringen om konsekvenser hvis befolkningen ikke tar den i bruk.
+Rekker ikke skrive noe fyldig om temaet, men det er klart for meg at
+den utraderer retten til privatliv samt utgjør en personlig
+sikkerhetsrisiko for alle som tar den i bruk.  Bare det er nok til at
+det fremstår som en svært dårlig ide å bli med på denne &quot;dugnaden&quot;.
+Det finnes andre og bedre tilnærminger enn den valgt av FHI.  Har de
+valgt sin tilnærming for å sikre seg nok et datasett i den fremtidige
+ehelse-portalen?  Potensialet for misbruk av informasjon samlet inn av
+appen er for stort, effekten på neste krise for klar og gevinsten for
+liten.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For å si det med forhenværende leder i Datatilsynet, Georg Apenes,
+som skrev i en kronikk den gang Datatilsynet vernet
+privatsfæren at
+«&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/rent-mel-i-bilen/66333882&quot;&gt;SENTRALT
+I en liberal forestillingsverden finner vi aksept av borgerens rett
+til å kunne velge å være i fred; å være u-iakttatt, uregistrert og
+anonym&lt;/a&gt;».  Det er ikke uten grunn han startet kronikken med
+«Personvern et fremmedord i enkelte av de statsorganene som samler
+inn, oppbevarer og bruker personopplysninger».  Der har nok
+statsorganene bare blitt dårligere på 13 år.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Det er jo også verdt å merke seg at personvernrådet i EU (EDPB)
+mener smittestopp-appen
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://nrkbeta.no/2020/04/16/personvernrad-i-eu-mener-norsk-app-bryter-med-viktig-personvernprinsipp/&quot;&gt;opererer
+i strid med prinsippet om dataminimering&lt;/a&gt;.  Også de ser at det
+finnes mye bedre måter å gjøre dette på.&lt;/p&gt;

-melder i dag at flertallet i Familie- og kulturkomiteen på Stortinget
-har bestemt seg for å introdusere en ny sensurinfrastruktur i Norge.
-Fra før har Norge en «frivillig» sensurinfrastruktur basert på
-DNS-navn, der de største ISP-ene basert på en liste med DNS-navn
-forgifter DNS-svar og omdirigerer til et annet IP-nummer enn det som
-ligger i DNS.  Nå kommer altså IP-basert omdirigering i tillegg.  Når
-infrastrukturen er på plass, er sensur av IP-adresser redusert et
-spørsmål om hvilke IP-nummer som skal blokkeres.  Listen over
-IP-adresser vil naturligvis endre seg etter hvert som myndighetene
-endrer seg.  Det er ingen betryggende tanke.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Det er lenge siden jeg har sett på den norske stavekontrollen, sist
+jeg skrev om temaet var i 2016, og i mellomtiden har nettstedet
+no.speling.org forsvunnet, og både git-depotet på Alioth og
+mailman-tjenesten som hadde epostlistene for oversettelser blitt lagt
+ned.  Men bokmål og nynorsk trenger fortsatt stavekontroll, så etter
+et par purringer fra en som har lyst til å forbedre stavekontrollen
+har jeg endelig fått lagt ut ny offentlig kopi av git-depotet.  Jeg
+valgte gitlab foran github..  Siste utgave av stavekontrollen kan
+hentes ned fra
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/norwegian-language-tools/spell-norwegian&quot;&gt;https://gitlab.com/norwegian-language-tools/spell-norwegian&lt;/a&gt;.
+Ingen ny versjon i denne omgang altså, bare et nytt sted å samle
+forbedringer til den frie norske stavekontrollen. :)

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Brevpost er beskyttet av straffelovens bestemmelse som gjør det
-kriminelt å åpne andres brev.  Dette følger av (ny) straffelovs
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2005-05-20-28/§205&quot;&gt;§ 205
-(Krenkelse av retten til privat kommunikasjon)&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;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
-og personlig informasjon.  Det bidrar til litt bedre vern av personlig
-integritet i dagens norske samfunn.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today, after many months of development, a new release of
+&lt;ahref=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;Nikita
+Noark 5 core project&lt;/a&gt; was finally
+&lt;ahref=&quot;https://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/nikita-noark/2020-March/000519.html&quot;&gt;announced
+on the project mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.  The Nikita free software solution is
+an implementation of the Norwegian archive standard Noark 5 used by
+government offices in Norway.  These were the changes in version 0.5
+since version 0.4, see the email link above for links to a demo
+site:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Updated to Noark 5 versjon 5.0 API specification.
+    &lt;ul&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Changed formatting of _links from [] to {} to match IETF draft
+      on JSON HAL.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Merged Registrering og Basisregistrering in version 4 to
+      combined Registrering.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;DokumentObjekt is now subtype of ArkivEnhet.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Introducing new entity Arkivnotat.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Changed all relation keys to use /v5/ instead of /v4/.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Corrected to use new official relation keys when possible.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Renamed Sakspart to Part and connect it to Mappe, Registrering
+      and Dokumentbeskrivelse instead of only Saksmappe.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Moved Korrespondansepart connection from Journalpost to
+      Registrering.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Moved Part and Korrespondansepart from package sakarkiv to
+      arkivstruktur.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Renamed presedensstatus to presedensStatus.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Use new JSON content-type &quot;application/vnd.noark5+json&quot;.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Updated prepopulated format list to use PRONOM codes.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Implemented endpoint for system information.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Implemented national identifiers for both file and record.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Implemented comments.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;implemented sign off.&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;implemented conversion.&lt;/li&gt;
+    &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Improved/implemented OData search and paging support for more entities.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;No longer exposes attribute Dokumentobjekt.referanseDokumentfil,
+   one should use the relation in _links instead.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Corrected relation keys under
+   https://rel.arkivverket.no/noark5/v5/api/administrasjon/, replacing
+   &#39;administrasjon&#39; with &#39;admin&#39;.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Fixed several security and stability issues discovered by Coverity.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Corrected handling ETag errors, now return code 409.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Improved handling of Kryssreferanse.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Changed internal database model to use UUID/SystemID as primary keys
+   in tables.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Changed internal database table names to use package prefix.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Changed time zone handling for date and datetime attributes, to be
+   more according to the new definition in the API specification.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Change revoke-token to only drop token on POST requests, not GET.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Updated to newer Spring version.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Changed primary key and URL component for metadata code lists to
+   use the &#39;kode&#39; value instead of a SystemID.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Corrected implementation of Part and Sakspart.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Changed instance lists with subtypes (like .../registrering/ and
+   .../mappe/) to include the attributes and _links entries for the
+   subtype in the supertype lists.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Adjusted _links relations to make it possible to figure out the
+   entity of an instance using the self-&gt;href-&gt;relation key lookup
+   method.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Fixed several end points to make sure GET, PUT, POST and DELETE
+   match each other.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Updated DELETE endpoints to work with UUID based entity
+   identifiers.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Restructured code to use more common URL related constants in entry
+   point values and replace @RequestMapping with method specific
+   annotations.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Added first unit test code.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Updated web GUI to work with the updated API.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Changed integer fields, enforce them as numeric.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Rewrote and simplify metadata handling to use common service and
+   controller code instead of duplicating for each type.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Implemented the remaining metadata types.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Changed Country list source from Wikipedia to Debian iso-codes and
+   updated the list of Countries.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Many many corrections and improvements.&lt;/li&gt;
+

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The leaders of the worlds have started to congratulate the

-am though a little fascinated by a comment from USA senator John McCain,

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, two scietific articles we have been working on for a
+while, was finally accepted for publication into

+Management Journal&lt;/a&gt;.  Still waiting for the assigned DOI urls to
+start working, but you can have a look at the LaTeX originals here.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The first article is
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2020-02-25-rmj-iot-record-keeping.pdf&quot;&gt;A

+10.1108/RMJ-09-2019-0050&lt;a/&gt;) by Thomas Sødring, Petter Reinholdtsen

+data (aka Internet of Things sensor data) in a archive, thus providing
+a well defined mechanism for screening and deletion of the information &lt;/p&gt;

+and Svein Ølnes, where we describe a way for third parties to validate

-&lt;p&gt;While I totally agree with the senator here, the way the quote is
-phrased make me suspect that he is unaware of the simple fact that USA
-have not lead the Free World since at least before its government
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar&quot;&gt;kidnapped a

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Facebooks_ability_to_sell_your_personal_information_is_the_real_Cambridge_Analytica_scandal.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Facebooks_ability_to_sell_your_personal_information_is_the_real_Cambridge_Analytica_scandal.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Wed, 21 Mar 2018 16:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;So, Cambridge Analytica is getting some well deserved criticism for
-(mis)using information it got from Facebook about 50 million people,
-mostly in the USA.  What I find a bit surprising, is how little
-criticism Facebook is getting for handing the information over to
-Cambridge Analytica and others in the first place.  And what about the
-people handing their private and personal information to Facebook?
-And last, but not least, what about the government offices who are
-handing information about the visitors of their web pages to Facebook?
-No-one who looked at the terms of use of Facebook should be surprised
-that information about peoples interests, political views, personal
-lifes and whereabouts would be sold by Facebook.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;What I find to be the real scandal is the fact that Facebook is
-selling your personal information, not that one of the buyers used it
-in a way Facebook did not approve when exposed.  It is well known that
-Facebook is selling out their users privacy, but a scandal
-nevertheless.  Of course the information provided to them by Facebook
-would be misused by one of the parties given access to personal
-information about the millions of Facebook users.  Collected
-information will be misused sooner or later.  The only way to avoid
-such misuse, is to not collect the information in the first place.  If
-you do not want Facebook to hand out information about yourself for
-the use and misuse of its customers, do not give Facebook the
-information.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Personally, I would recommend to completely remove your Facebook
-account, and take back some control of your personal information.
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/19/how-to-protect-your-facebook-privacy-or-delete-yourself-completely&quot;&gt;According
-to The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;, it is a bit hard to find out how to request
-account removal (and not just &#39;disabling&#39;).  You need to
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content&quot;&gt;visit
-a specific Facebook page&lt;/a&gt; and click on &#39;let us know&#39; on that page
-to get to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account&quot;&gt;the
-real account deletion screen&lt;/a&gt;.  Perhaps something to consider?  I
-would not trust the information to really be deleted (who knows,
-perhaps NSA, GCHQ and FRA already got a copy), but it might reduce the
-exposure a bit.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to learn more about the capabilities of Cambridge
-Analytica, I recommend to see the video recording of the one hour talk
-Paul-Olivier Dehaye gave to &lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt; last april about
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20170404-big-data-psychometric/&quot;&gt;
-Data collection, psychometric profiling and their impact on
-politics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;And if you want to communicate with your friends and loved ones,
-use some end-to-end encrypted method like
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.signal.org/&quot;&gt;Signal&lt;/a&gt; or
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://ring.cx/&quot;&gt;Ring&lt;/a&gt;, and stop sharing your private
-messages with strangers like Facebook and Google.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20200127-noark-seminar/&quot;&gt;seminaret
+for noen dager siden&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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
+alle som vil ha et leverandøruavhengig og fullstendig
+datamaskinlesbart grensesnitt til arkivet, så tror jeg vi vil
+lykkes.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
+det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
+til min adresse
+&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.
+Merk, betaling med bitcoin er ikke anonymt. :)&lt;/p&gt;
