- <div class="date">13th December 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>While looking at
-<a href="http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/">the scanned copies
-for the copyright renewal entries for movies published in the USA</a>,
-an idea occurred to me. The number of renewals are so few per year, it
-should be fairly quick to transcribe them all and add references to
-the corresponding IMDB title ID. This would give the (presumably)
-complete list of movies published 28 years earlier that did _not_
-enter the public domain for the transcribed year. By fetching the
-list of USA movies published 28 years earlier and subtract the movies
-with renewals, we should be left with movies registered in IMDB that
-are now in the public domain. For the year 1955 (which is the one I
-have looked at the most), the total number of pages to transcribe is
-21. For the 28 years from 1950 to 1978, it should be in the range
-500-600 pages. It is just a few days of work, and spread among a
-small group of people it should be doable in a few weeks of spare
-time.</p>
-
-<p>A typical copyright renewal entry look like this (the first one
-listed for 1955):</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
- ADAM AND EVIL, a photoplay in seven reels by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
- Distribution Corp. (c) 17Aug27; L24293. Loew's Incorporated (PWH);
- 10Jun55; R151558.
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The movie title as well as registration and renewal dates are easy
-enough to locate by a program (split on first comma and look for
-DDmmmYY). The rest of the text is not required to find the movie in
-IMDB, but is useful to confirm the correct movie is found. I am not
-quite sure what the L and R numbers mean, but suspect they are
-reference numbers into the archive of the US Copyright Office.</p>
-
-<p>Tracking down the equivalent IMDB title ID is probably going to be
-a manual task, but given the year it is fairly easy to search for the
-movie title using for example
-<a href="http://www.imdb.com/find?q=adam+and+evil+1927&s=all">http://www.imdb.com/find?q=adam+and+evil+1927&s=all</a>.
-Using this search, I find that the equivalent IMDB title ID for the
-first renewal entry from 1955 is
-<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017588/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017588/</a>.</p>
-
-<p>I suspect the best way to do this would be to make a specialised
-web service to make it easy for contributors to transcribe and track
-down IMDB title IDs. In the web service, once a entry is transcribed,
-the title and year could be extracted from the text, a search in IMDB
-conducted for the user to pick the equivalent IMDB title ID right
-away. By spreading out the work among volunteers, it would also be
-possible to make at least two persons transcribe the same entries to
-be able to discover any typos introduced. But I will need help to
-make this happen, as I lack the spare time to do all of this on my
-own. If you would like to help, please get in touch. Perhaps you can
-draft a web service for crowd sourcing the task?</p>
-
-<p>Note, Project Gutenberg already have some
-<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=copyright+office+renewals">transcribed
-copies of the US Copyright Office renewal protocols</a>, but I have
-not been able to find any film renewals there, so I suspect they only
-have copies of renewal for written works. I have not been able to find
-any transcribed versions of movie renewals so far. Perhaps they exist
-somewhere?</p>
-
-<p>I would love to figure out methods for finding all the public
-domain works in other countries too, but it is a lot harder. At least
-for Norway and Great Britain, such work involve tracking down the
-people involved in making the movie and figuring out when they died.
-It is hard enough to figure out who was part of making a movie, but I
-do not know how to automate such procedure without a registry of every
-person involved in making movies and their death year.</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

- <div class="body"><p>Three years ago, a presumed lost animation film,
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_Socks">Empty Socks from
-1927</a>, was discovered in the Norwegian National Library. At the
-time it was discovered, it was generally assumed to be copyrighted by
-The Walt Disney Company, and I blogged about
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Opphavsretts_status_for__Empty_Socks__fra_1927_.html">my
-reasoning to conclude</a> that it would would enter the Norwegian

-Norwegian Copyright Law. But a few days ago, I came across
-<a href="http://www.toonzone.net/forums/threads/exposed-disneys-repurchase-of-oswald-the-rabbit-a-sham.4792291/">a
-blog post claiming the movie was already in the public domain</a>, at
-least in USA. The reasoning is as follows: The film was released in
-November or Desember 1927 (sources disagree), and presumably
-registered its copyright that year. At that time, right holders of
-movies registered by the copyright office received government
-protection for there work for 28 years. After 28 years, the copyright
-had to be renewed if the wanted the government to protect it further.
-The blog post I found claim such renewal did not happen for this
-movie, and thus it entered the public domain in 1956. Yet someone
-claim the copyright was renewed and the movie is still copyright
-protected. Can anyone help me to figure out which claim is correct?
-I have not been able to find Empty Socks in Catalog of copyright
-entries. Ser.3 pt.12-13 v.9-12 1955-1958 Motion Pictures

+ <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="date">28th November 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>It would be easier to locate the movie you want to watch in
-<a href="https://www.archive.org/">the Internet Archive</a>, if the
-metadata about each movie was more complete and accurate. In the
-archiving community, a well known saying state that good metadata is a
-love letter to the future. The metadata in the Internet Archive could
-use a face lift for the future to love us back. Here is a proposal
-for a small improvement that would make the metadata more useful
-today. I've been unable to find any document describing the various
-standard fields available when uploading videos to the archive, so
-this proposal is based on my best quess and searching through several
-of the existing movies.</p>
-
-<p>I have a few use cases in mind. First of all, I would like to be
-able to count the number of distinct movies in the Internet Archive,
-without duplicates. I would further like to identify the IMDB title
-ID of the movies in the Internet Archive, to be able to look up a IMDB
-title ID and know if I can fetch the video from there and share it
-with my friends.</p>
-
-<p>Second, I would like the Butter data provider for The Internet
-archive
-(<a href="https://github.com/butterproviders/butter-provider-archive">available
-from github</a>), to list as many of the good movies as possible. The
-plugin currently do a search in the archive with the following
-parameters:</p>

+ <div class="date">28th April 2018</div>
+ <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>
-collection:moviesandfilms
-AND NOT collection:movie_trailers
-AND -mediatype:collection
-AND format:"Archive BitTorrent"
-AND year
+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>Most of the cool movies that fail to show up in Butter do so
-because the 'year' field is missing. The 'year' field is populated by
-the year part from the 'date' field, and should be when the movie was
-released (date or year). Two such examples are
-<a href="https://archive.org/details/SidneyOlcottsBen-hur1905">Ben Hur
-from 1905</a> and
-<a href="https://archive.org/details/Caminandes2GranDillama">Caminandes
-2: Gran Dillama from 2013</a>, where the year metadata field is
-missing.</p>
-
-So, my proposal is simply, for every movie in The Internet Archive
-where an IMDB title ID exist, please fill in these metadata fields
-(note, they can be updated also long after the video was uploaded, but
-as far as I can tell, only by the uploader):
-
-<dl>
-
-<dt>mediatype</dt>
-<dd>Should be 'movie' for movies.</dd>
-
-<dt>collection</dt>
-<dd>Should contain 'moviesandfilms'.</dd>
-
-<dt>title</dt>
-<dd>The title of the movie, without the publication year.</dd>
-
-<dt>date</dt>
-<dd>The data or year the movie was released. This make the movie show
-up in Butter, as well as make it possible to know the age of the
-movie and is useful to figure out copyright status.</dd>
-
-<dt>director</dt>
-<dd>The director of the movie. This make it easier to know if the
-correct movie is found in movie databases.</dd>
-
-<dt>publisher</dt>
-<dd>The production company making the movie. Also useful for
-identifying the correct movie.</dd>
-
-<dt>links</dt>
-
-<dd>Add a link to the IMDB title page, for example like this: <a
-href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0028496/">Movie in
-IMDB</a>. This make it easier to find duplicates and allow for
-counting of number of unique movies in the Archive. Other external
-references, like to TMDB, could be added like this too.</dd>
-
-</dl>
-
-<p>I did consider proposing a Custom field for the IMDB title ID (for
-example 'imdb_title_url', 'imdb_code' or simply 'imdb', but suspect it
-will be easier to simply place it in the links free text field.</p>
-
-<p>I created
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/public-domain-free-imdb">a
-list of IMDB title IDs for several thousand movies in the Internet
-Archive</a>, but I also got a list of several thousand movies without
-such IMDB title ID (and quite a few duplicates). It would be great if
-this data set could be integrated into the Internet Archive metadata
-to be available for everyone in the future, but with the current
-policy of leaving metadata editing to the uploaders, it will take a
-while before this happen. If you have uploaded movies into the
-Internet Archive, you can help. Please consider following my proposal
-above for your movies, to ensure that movie is properly
-counted. :)</p>
-
-<p>The list is mostly generated using wikidata, which based on
-Wikipedia articles make it possible to link between IMDB and movies in
-the Internet Archive. But there are lots of movies without a
-Wikipedia article, and some movies where only a collection page exist
-(like for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminandes">the
-Caminandes example above</a>, where there are three movies but only
-one Wikidata entry).</p>

- <div class="date">18th November 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>A month ago, I blogged about my work to
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Locating_IMDB_IDs_of_movies_in_the_Internet_Archive_using_Wikidata.html">automatically
-check the copyright status of IMDB entries</a>, and try to count the
-number of movies listed in IMDB that is legal to distribute on the
-Internet. I have continued to look for good data sources, and
-identified a few more. The code used to extract information from
-various data sources is available in
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/public-domain-free-imdb">a
-git repository</a>, currently available from github.</p>
-
-<p>So far I have identified 3186 unique IMDB title IDs. To gain
-better understanding of the structure of the data set, I created a
-histogram of the year associated with each movie (typically release
-year). It is interesting to notice where the peaks and dips in the
-graph are located. I wonder why they are placed there. I suspect
-World War II caused the dip around 1940, but what caused the peak
-around 2010?</p>
-
-<p align="center"><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-11-18-verk-i-det-fri-filmer.png" /></p>
-
-<p>I've so far identified ten sources for IMDB title IDs for movies in
-the public domain or with a free license. This is the statistics
-reported when running 'make stats' in the git repository:</p>
-
-<pre>
- 249 entries ( 6 unique) with and 288 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-archive-org-butter.json
- 2301 entries ( 540 unique) with and 0 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-archive-org-wikidata.json
- 830 entries ( 29 unique) with and 0 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-icheckmovies-archive-mochard.json
- 2109 entries ( 377 unique) with and 0 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-imdb-pd.json
- 291 entries ( 122 unique) with and 0 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-letterboxd-pd.json
- 144 entries ( 135 unique) with and 0 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-manual.json
- 350 entries ( 1 unique) with and 801 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-publicdomainmovies.json
- 4 entries ( 0 unique) with and 124 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-publicdomainreview.json
- 698 entries ( 119 unique) with and 118 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-publicdomaintorrents.json
- 8 entries ( 8 unique) with and 196 without IMDB title ID in free-movies-vodo.json
- 3186 unique IMDB title IDs in total
-</pre>
-
-<p>The entries without IMDB title ID are candidates to increase the
-data set, but might equally well be duplicates of entries already
-listed with IMDB title ID in one of the other sources, or represent
-movies that lack a IMDB title ID. I've seen examples of all these
-situations when peeking at the entries without IMDB title ID. Based
-on these data sources, the lower bound for movies listed in IMDB that
-are legal to distribute on the Internet is between 3186 and 4713.
-
-<p>It would be great for improving the accuracy of this measurement,
-if the various sources added IMDB title ID to their metadata. I have
-tried to reach the people behind the various sources to ask if they
-are interested in doing this, without any replies so far. Perhaps you
-can help me get in touch with the people behind VODO, Public Domain
-Torrents, Public Domain Movies and Public Domain Review to try to
-convince them to add more metadata to their movie entries?</p>

+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.</p>

-<p>Several of these research papers are based on data collected from
-hundred thousands or millions of disk, and their findings are eye
-opening. The short story is simply do not implicitly trust RAID or
-redundant storage systems. Details matter. And unfortunately there
-are few options on Linux addressing all the identified issues. Both
-ZFS and Btrfs are doing a fairly good job, but have legal and
-practical issues on their own. I wonder how cluster file systems like
-Ceph do in this regard. After all, there is an old saying, you know
-you have a distributed system when the crash of a computer you have
-never heard of stops you from getting any work done. The same holds
-true if fault tolerance do not work.</p>
-
-<p>Just remember, in the end, it do not matter how redundant, or how
-fault tolerant your storage is, if you do not continuously monitor its
-status to detect and replace failed disks.</p>

- <div class="body"><p>I was surprised today to learn that a friend in academia did not
-know there are easily available web services available for writing
-LaTeX documents as a team. I thought it was common knowledge, but to
-make sure at least my readers are aware of it, I would like to mention
-these useful services for writing LaTeX documents. Some of them even
-provide a WYSIWYG editor to ease writing even further.</p>
-
-<p>There are two commercial services available,
-<a href="https://sharelatex.com">ShareLaTeX</a> and
-<a href="https://overleaf.com">Overleaf</a>. They are very easy to
-use. Just start a new document, select which publisher to write for
-(ie which LaTeX style to use), and start writing. Note, these two
-have announced their intention to join forces, so soon it will only be
-one joint service. I've used both for different documents, and they
-work just fine. While
-<a href="https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex">ShareLaTeX is free
-software</a>, while the latter is not. According to <a
-href="https://www.overleaf.com/help/17-is-overleaf-open-source">a
-announcement from Overleaf</a>, they plan to keep the ShareLaTeX code
-base maintained as free software.</p>
-
-But these two are not the only alternatives.
-<a href="https://app.fiduswriter.org/">Fidus Writer</a> is another free
-software solution with <a href="https://github.com/fiduswriter">the
-source available on github</a>. I have not used it myself. Several
-others can be found on the nice
-<a href="https://alternativeto.net/software/sharelatex/">alterntiveTo
-web service</a>.
-
-<p>If you like Google Docs or Etherpad, but would like to write
-documents in LaTeX, you should check out these services. You can even
-host your own, if you want to. :)</p>

- <div class="title"><a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Locating_IMDB_IDs_of_movies_in_the_Internet_Archive_using_Wikidata.html">Locating IMDB IDs of movies in the Internet Archive using Wikidata</a></div>
- <div class="date">25th October 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Recently, I needed to automatically check the copyright status of a
-set of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/">The Internet Movie database
-(IMDB)</a> entries, to figure out which one of the movies they refer
-to can be freely distributed on the Internet. This proved to be
-harder than it sounds. IMDB for sure list movies without any
-copyright protection, where the copyright protection has expired or
-where the movie is lisenced using a permissive license like one from
-Creative Commons. These are mixed with copyright protected movies,
-and there seem to be no way to separate these classes of movies using
-the information in IMDB.</p>
-
-<p>First I tried to look up entries manually in IMDB,
-<a href="https://www.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a> and
-<a href="https://www.archive.org/">The Internet Archive</a>, to get a
-feel how to do this. It is hard to know for sure using these sources,
-but it should be possible to be reasonable confident a movie is "out
-of copyright" with a few hours work per movie. As I needed to check
-almost 20,000 entries, this approach was not sustainable. I simply
-can not work around the clock for about 6 years to check this data
-set.</p>
-
-<p>I asked the people behind The Internet Archive if they could
-introduce a new metadata field in their metadata XML for IMDB ID, but
-was told that they leave it completely to the uploaders to update the
-metadata. Some of the metadata entries had IMDB links in the
-description, but I found no way to download all metadata files in bulk
-to locate those ones and put that approach aside.</p>
-
-<p>In the process I noticed several Wikipedia articles about movies
-had links to both IMDB and The Internet Archive, and it occured to me
-that I could use the Wikipedia RDF data set to locate entries with
-both, to at least get a lower bound on the number of movies on The
-Internet Archive with a IMDB ID. This is useful based on the
-assumption that movies distributed by The Internet Archive can be
-legally distributed on the Internet. With some help from the RDF
-community (thank you DanC), I was able to come up with this query to
-pass to <a href="https://query.wikidata.org/">the SPARQL interface on
-Wikidata</a>:
-
-<p><pre>
-SELECT ?work ?imdb ?ia ?when ?label
-WHERE
-{
- ?work wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q11424.
- ?work wdt:P345 ?imdb.
- ?work wdt:P724 ?ia.
- OPTIONAL {
- ?work wdt:P577 ?when.
- ?work rdfs:label ?label.
- FILTER(LANG(?label) = "en").
- }
-}
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>If I understand the query right, for every film entry anywhere in
-Wikpedia, it will return the IMDB ID and The Internet Archive ID, and
-when the movie was released and its English title, if either or both
-of the latter two are available. At the moment the result set contain
-2338 entries. Of course, it depend on volunteers including both
-correct IMDB and The Internet Archive IDs in the wikipedia articles
-for the movie. It should be noted that the result will include
-duplicates if the movie have entries in several languages. There are
-some bogus entries, either because The Internet Archive ID contain a
-typo or because the movie is not available from The Internet Archive.
-I did not verify the IMDB IDs, as I am unsure how to do that
-automatically.</p>
-
-<p>I wrote a small python script to extract the data set from Wikidata
-and check if the XML metadata for the movie is available from The
-Internet Archive, and after around 1.5 hour it produced a list of 2097
-free movies and their IMDB ID. In total, 171 entries in Wikidata lack
-the refered Internet Archive entry. I assume the 70 "disappearing"
-entries (ie 2338-2097-171) are duplicate entries.</p>
-
-<p>This is not too bad, given that The Internet Archive report to
-contain <a href="https://archive.org/details/feature_films">5331
-feature films</a> at the moment, but it also mean more than 3000
-movies are missing on Wikipedia or are missing the pair of references
-on Wikipedia.</p>
-
-<p>I was curious about the distribution by release year, and made a
-little graph to show how the amount of free movies is spread over the
-years:<p>
-
-<p><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-10-25-verk-i-det-fri-filmer.png"></p>
-
-<p>I expect the relative distribution of the remaining 3000 movies to
-be similar.</p>
-
-<p>If you want to help, and want to ensure Wikipedia can be used to
-cross reference The Internet Archive and The Internet Movie Database,
-please make sure entries like this are listed under the "External
-links" heading on the Wikipedia article for the movie:</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-* {{Internet Archive film|id=FightingLady}}
-* {{IMDb title|id=0036823|title=The Fighting Lady}}
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>Please verify the links on the final page, to make sure you did not
-introduce a typo.</p>
-
-<p>Here is the complete list, if you want to correct the 171
-identified Wikipedia entries with broken links to The Internet

+ <div class="date">21st March 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Personally, I would recommend to completely remove your Facebook
+account, and take back some control of your personal information.
+<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/19/how-to-protect-your-facebook-privacy-or-delete-yourself-completely">According
+to The Guardian</a>, it is a bit hard to find out how to request
+account removal (and not just 'disabling'). You need to
+<a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content">visit
+a specific Facebook page</a> and click on 'let us know' on that page
+to get to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account">the
+real account deletion screen</a>. 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.</p>
+
+<p>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 <a href="">NUUG</a> last april about
+<a href="https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20170404-big-data-psychometric/">
+Data collection, psychometric profiling and their impact on
+politics</a>.</p>
+
+<p>And if you want to communicate with your friends and loved ones,
+use some end-to-end encrypted method like
+<a href="https://www.signal.org/">Signal</a> or
+<a href="https://ring.cx/">Ring</a>, and stop sharing your private
+messages with strangers like Facebook and Google.</p>

-that the wall was erected to keep enemies from creeping into East
-Germany, while it was obvious to the people locked inside it that it
-was erected to keep the people from escaping.</p>
-

+ <div class="date">14th March 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>I går kom det nok et argument for å holde seg unna det norske
+helsevesenet. Da annonserte et stortingsflertall, bestående av Høyre,
+Arbeiderpartiet, Fremskrittspartiet og Venstre, at de går inn for å
+samle inn og lagre DNA-prøver fra hele befolkningen i Norge til evig
+tid. Endringen gjelder innsamlede blodprøver fra nyfødte i Norge.
+Det vil dermed ta litt tid før en har hele befolkningen, men det er
+dit vi havner gitt nok tid. I dag er det nesten hundre prosent
+oppslutning om undersøkelsen som gjøres like etter fødselen, på
+bakgrunn av blodprøven det er snakk om å lagre, for å oppdage endel
+medfødte sykdommer. Blodprøven lagres i dag i inntil seks år.
+<a href="https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Publikasjoner/Innstillinger/Stortinget/2017-2018/inns-201718-182l/?all=true">Stortingets
+flertallsinnstilling</a> er at tidsbegrensingen skal fjernes, og mener
+at tidsubegrenset lagring ikke vil påvirke oppslutningen om
+undersøkelsen.</p>
+
+<p>Datatilsynet har ikke akkurat applaudert forslaget:</p>
-<p>As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my

+<p><blockquote>
+
+ <p>«Datatilsynet mener forslaget ikke i tilstrekkelig grad
+ synliggjør hvilke etiske og personvernmessige utfordringer som må
+ diskuteres før en etablerer en nasjonal biobank med blodprøver fra
+ hele befolkningen.»</p>
+
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Det er flere historier om hvordan innsamlet biologisk materiale har
+blitt brukt til andre formål enn de ble innsamlet til, og historien om
+<a href="https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/Ql0WR/Na-ma-Folkehelsa-slette-uskyldiges-DNA-info">folkehelseinstituttets
+lagring på vegne av politiet (Kripos) av innsamlet biologisk materiale
+og DNA-informasjon i strid med loven</a> viser at en ikke kan være
+trygg på at lover og intensjoner beskytter de som blir berørt mot
+misbruk av slik privat og personlig informasjon.</p>
+
+<p>Det er verdt å merke seg at det kan forskes på de innsamlede
+blodprøvene uten samtykke fra den det gjelder (eller foreldre når det
+gjelder barn), etter en lovendring for en stund tilbake, med mindre
+det er sendt inn skjema der en reserverer seg mot forskning uten
+samtykke. Skjemaet er tilgjengelig fra
+<a href="https://www.fhi.no/arkiv/publikasjoner/for-pasienter-skjema-for-reservasjo/">folkehelseinstituttets
+websider</a>, og jeg anbefaler, uavhengig av denne saken, varmt alle å
+sende inn skjemaet for å dokumentere hvor mange som ikke synes det er
+greit å fjerne krav om samtykke.</p>
+
+<p>I tillegg bør en kreve destruering av alt biologisk materiale som
+er samlet inn om en selv, for å redusere eventuelle negative
+konsekvenser i fremtiden når materialet kommer på avveie eller blir
+brukt uten samtykke, men det er så vidt jeg vet ikke noe system for
+dette i dag.</p>

- <div class="date"> 9th October 2017</div>
- <div class="body"><p>At my nearby maker space,
-<a href="http://sonen.ifi.uio.no/">Sonen</a>, I heard the story that it
-was easier to generate gcode files for theyr 3D printers (Ultimake 2+)
-on Windows and MacOS X than Linux, because the software involved had
-to be manually compiled and set up on Linux while premade packages
-worked out of the box on Windows and MacOS X. I found this annoying,
-as the software involved,
-<a href="https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura">Cura</a>, is free software
-and should be trivial to get up and running on Linux if someone took
-the time to package it for the relevant distributions. I even found
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/706656">a request for adding into
-Debian</a> from 2013, which had seem some activity over the years but
-never resulted in the software showing up in Debian. So a few days
-ago I offered my help to try to improve the situation.</p>
-
-<p>Now I am very happy to see that all the packages required by a
-working Cura in Debian are uploaded into Debian and waiting in the NEW
-queue for the ftpmasters to have a look. You can track the progress
-on
-<a href="https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=3dprinter-general%40lists.alioth.debian.org">the
-status page for the 3D printer team</a>.</p>
-
-<p>The uploaded packages are a bit behind upstream, and was uploaded
-now to get slots in <a href="https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html">the NEW
-queue</a> while we work up updating the packages to the latest
-upstream version.</p>
-
-<p>On a related note, two competitors for Cura, which I found harder
-to use and was unable to configure correctly for Ultimaker 2+ in the
-short time I spent on it, are already in Debian. If you are looking
-for 3D printer "slicers" and want something already available in
-Debian, check out
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slic3r">slic3r</a> and
-<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/slic3r-prusa">slic3r-prusa</a>.
-The latter is a fork of the former.</p>

+ <div class="date">13th March 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>I am working on publishing yet another book related to Creative
+Commons. This time it is a book filled with interviews and histories
+from those around the globe making a living using Creative
+Commons.</p>
+
+<p>Yesterday, after many months of hard work by several volunteer
+translators, the first draft of a Norwegian Bokmål edition of the book
+<a href="https://madewith.cc">Made with Creative Commons from 2017</a>
+was complete. The Spanish translation is also complete, while the
+Dutch, Polish, German and Ukraine edition need a lot of work. Get in
+touch if you want to help make those happen, or would like to
+translate into your mother tongue.</p>
+
+<p>The whole book project started when
+<a href="http://gwolf.org/node/4102">Gunnar Wolf announced</a> that he
+was going to make a Spanish edition of the book. I noticed, and
+offered some input on how to make a book, based on my experience with
+translating the
+<a href="https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">Free
+Culture</a> and
+<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/get/#norwegian">The Debian
+Administrator's Handbook</a> books to Norwegian Bokmål. To make a
+long story short, we ended up working on a Bokmål edition, and now the
+first rough translation is complete, thanks to the hard work of
+Ole-Erik Yrvin, Ingrid Yrvin, Allan Nordhøy and myself. The first
+proof reading is almost done, and only the second and third proof
+reading remains. We will also need to translate the 14 figures and
+create a book cover. Once it is done we will publish the book on
+paper, as well as in PDF, ePub and possibly Mobi formats.</p>
+
+<p>The book itself originates as a manuscript on Google Docs, is
+downloaded as ODT from there and converted to Markdown using pandoc.
+The Markdown is modified by a script before is converted to DocBook
+using pandoc. The DocBook is modified again using a script before it
+is used to create a Gettext POT file for translators. The translated
+PO file is then combined with the earlier mentioned DocBook file to
+create a translated DocBook file, which finally is given to dblatex to
+create the final PDF. The end result is a set of editions of the
+manuscript, one English and one for each of the translations.</p>

+<p>The translation is conducted using
+<a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/madewithcc/translation/">the
+Weblate web based translation system</a>. Please have a look there
+and get in touch if you would like to help out with proof

- <div class="body">Når jeg holder på med ulike prosjekter, så trenger jeg stadig ulike
-skruer. Det siste prosjektet jeg holder på med er å lage
-<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:676916">en boks til en
-HDMI-touch-skjerm</a> som skal brukes med Raspberry Pi. Boksen settes
-sammen med skruer og bolter, og jeg har vært i tvil om hvor jeg kan
-få tak i de riktige skruene. Clas Ohlson og Jernia i nærheten har
-sjelden hatt det jeg trenger. Men her om dagen fikk jeg et fantastisk
-tips for oss som bor i Oslo.
-<a href="http://www.zachskruer.no/">Zachariassen Jernvare AS</a> i
-<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=59.93421&mlon=10.76795#map=19/59.93421/10.76795">Hegermannsgate
-23A på Torshov</a> har et fantastisk utvalg, og åpent mellom 09:00 og
-17:00. De selger skruer, muttere, bolter, skiver etc i løs vekt, og
-så langt har jeg fått alt jeg har lett etter. De har i tillegg det
-meste av annen jernvare, som verktøy, lamper, ledninger, etc. Jeg
-håper de har nok kunder til å holde det gående lenge, da dette er en
-butikk jeg kommer til å besøke ofte. Butikken er et funn å ha i
-nabolaget for oss som liker å bygge litt selv. :)</p>

+ <div class="date"> 2nd March 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>Today I was pleasantly surprised to discover my operating system of
+choice, Debian, was used in the info screens on the subway stations.
+While passing Nydalen subway station in Oslo, Norway, I discovered the
+info screen booting with some text scrolling. I was not quick enough
+with my camera to be able to record a video of the scrolling boot
+screen, but I did get a photo from when the boot got stuck with a
+corrupt file system:
+
+<p align="center"><a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2018-03-02-ruter-debian-lenny.jpeg"><img align="center" width="40%" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2018-03-02-ruter-debian-lenny.jpeg" alt="[photo of subway info screen]"></a></p>
+
+<p>While I am happy to see Debian used more places, some details of the
+content on the screen worries me.</p>
+
+<p>The image show the version booting is 'Debian GNU/Linux lenny/sid',
+indicating that this is based on code taken from Debian Unstable/Sid
+after Debian Etch (version 4) was released 2007-04-08 and before
+Debian Lenny (version 5) was released 2009-02-14. Since Lenny Debian
+has released version 6 (Squeeze) 2011-02-06, 7 (Wheezy) 2013-05-04, 8
+(Jessie) 2015-04-25 and 9 (Stretch) 2017-06-15, according to
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history">a Debian
+version history on Wikpedia</a>. This mean the system is running
+around 10 year old code, with no security fixes from the vendor for
+many years.</p>
+
+<p>This is not the first time I discover the Oslo subway company,
+Ruter, running outdated software. In 2012,
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Er_billettautomatene_til_kollektivtrafikken_i_Oslo_uten_sikkerhetsoppdateringer_.html">I
+discovered the ticket vending machines were running Windows 2000</a>,
+and this was
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fortsatt_ingen_sikkerhetsoppdateringer_for_billettautomatene_til_kollektivtrafikken_i_Oslo_.html">still
+the case in 2016</a>. Given the response from the responsible people
+in 2016, I would assume the machines are still running unpatched
+Windows 2000. Thus, an unpatched Debian setup come as no surprise.</p>
