+ <div class="date">13th August 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>A few days ago, I wondered if there are any privacy respecting
+health monitors and/or fitness trackers available for sale these days.
+I would like to buy one, but do not want to share my personal data
+with strangers, nor be forced to have a mobile phone to get data out
+of the unit. I've received some ideas, and would like to share them
+with you.
+
+One interesting data point was a pointer to a Free Software app for
+Android named
+<a href="https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/">Gadgetbridge</a>.
+It provide cloudless collection and storing of data from a variety of
+trackers. Its
+<a href="https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/#supported-devices">list
+of supported devices</a> is a good indicator for units where the
+protocol is fairly open, as it is obviously being handled by Free
+Software. Other units are reportedly encrypting the collected
+information with their own public key, making sure only the vendor
+cloud service is able to extract data from the unit. The people
+contacting me about Gadgetbirde said they were using
+<a href="https://us.amazfit.com/shop/bip?variant=336750">Amazfit
+Bip</a> and
+<a href="http://www.xiaomimi6phone.com/xiaomi-mi-band-3-features-release-date-rumors/">Xiaomi
+Band 3</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I also got a suggestion to look at some of the units from Garmin.
+I was told their GPS watches can be connected via USB and show up as a
+USB storage device with
+<a href="https://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_garmin_fit.html">Garmin
+FIT files</a> containing the collected measurements. While
+proprietary, FIT files apparently can be read at least by
+<a href="https://www.gpsbabel.org">GPSBabel</a> and the
+<a href="https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/gpxpod">GpxPod</a> Nextcloud
+app. It is unclear to me if they can read step count and heart rate
+data. The person I talked to was using a
+<a href="https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/564291">Garmin Forerunner
+935</a>, which is a fairly expensive unit. I doubt it is worth it for
+a unit where the vendor clearly is trying its best to move from open
+to closed systems. I still remember when Garmin dropped NMEA support
+in its GPSes.</p>
+
+<p>A final idea was to build ones own unit, perhaps by basing it on a
+wearable hardware platforms like
+<a href="https://learn.adafruit.com/flora-geo-watch">the Flora Geo
+Watch</a>. Sound like fun, but I had more money than time to spend on
+the topic, so I suspect it will have to wait for another time.</p>
+
+<p>While I was working on tracking down links, I came across an
+inspiring TED talk by Dave Debronkart about
+<a href="https://archive.org/details/DavedeBronkart_2010X">being a
+e-patient</a>, and discovered the web site
+<a href="https://participatorymedicine.org/epatients/">Participatory
+Medicine</a>. If you too want to track your own health and fitness
+without having information about your private life floating around on
+computers owned by others, I recommend checking it out.</p>

+ <div class="body"><p>Dear lazyweb,</p>
+
+<p>I wonder, is there a fitness tracker / health monitor available for
+sale today that respect the users privacy? With this I mean a
+watch/bracelet capable of measuring pulse rate and other
+fitness/health related values (and by all means, also the correct time
+and location if possible), which is <strong>only</strong> provided for
+me to extract/read from the unit with computer without a radio beacon
+and Internet connection. In other words, it do not depend on a cell
+phone app, and do make the measurements available via other peoples
+computer (aka "the cloud"). The collected data should be available
+using only free software. I'm not interested in depending on some
+non-free software that will leave me high and dry some time in the
+future. I've been unable to find any such unit. I would like to buy
+it. The ones I have seen for sale here in Norway are proud to report
+that they share my health data with strangers (aka "cloud enabled").
+Is there an alternative? I'm not interested in giving money to people
+requiring me to accept "privacy terms" to allow myself to measure my
+own health.</p>

+ <div class="date">31st July 2018</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>For a while now, I have looked for a sensible way to share images
+with my family using a self hosted solution, as it is unacceptable to
+place images from my personal life under the control of strangers
+working for data hoarders like Google or Dropbox. The last few days I
+have drafted an approach that might work out, and I would like to
+share it with you. I would like to publish images on a server under
+my control, and point some Internet connected display units using some
+free and open standard to the images I published. As my primary
+language is not limited to ASCII, I need to store metadata using
+UTF-8. Many years ago, I hoped to find a digital photo frame capable
+of reading a RSS feed with image references (aka using the
+<enclosure> RSS tag), but was unable to find a current supplier
+of such frames. In the end I gave up that approach.</p>
+
+<p>Some months ago, I discovered that
+<a href="https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/">XScreensaver</a> is able to
+read images from a RSS feed, and used it to set up a screen saver on
+my home info screen, showing images from the Daily images feed from
+NASA. This proved to work well. More recently I discovered that
+<a href="https://kodi.tv">Kodi</a> (both using
+<a href="https://www.openelec.tv/">OpenELEC</a> and
+<a href="https://libreelec.tv">LibreELEC</a>) provide the
+<a href="https://github.com/grinsted/script.screensaver.feedreader">Feedreader</a>
+screen saver capable of reading a RSS feed with images and news. For
+fun, I used it this summer to test Kodi on my parents TV by hooking up
+a Raspberry PI unit with LibreELEC, and wanted to provide them with a
+screen saver showing selected pictures from my selection.</p>
+
+<p>Armed with motivation and a test photo frame, I set out to generate
+a RSS feed for the Kodi instance. I adjusted my <a
+href="https://freedombox.org/">Freedombox</a> instance, created
+/var/www/html/privatepictures/, wrote a small Perl script to extract
+title and description metadata from the photo files and generate the
+RSS file. I ended up using Perl instead of python, as the
+libimage-exiftool-perl Debian package seemed to handle the EXIF/XMP
+tags I ended up using, while python3-exif did not. The relevant EXIF
+tags only support ASCII, so I had to find better alternatives. XMP
+seem to have the support I need.</p>
+
+<p>I am a bit unsure which EXIF/XMP tags to use, as I would like to
+use tags that can be easily added/updated using normal free software
+photo managing software. I ended up using the tags set using this
+exiftool command, as these tags can also be set using digiKam:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+exiftool -headline='The RSS image title' \
+ -description='The RSS image description.' \
+ -subject+=for-family photo.jpeg
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>I initially tried the "-title" and "keyword" tags, but they were
+invisible in digiKam, so I changed to "-headline" and "-subject". I
+use the keyword/subject 'for-family' to flag that the photo should be
+shared with my family. Images with this keyword set are located and
+copied into my Freedombox for the RSS generating script to find.</p>
+
+<p>Are there better ways to do this? Get in touch if you have better
+suggestions.</p>

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

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

-Så lenge kilden for nedlastingen er lovlig lagt ut på nett (hvilket
-jeg antar NRK gjør), så er slik lagring til privat bruk også lovlig i
-Norge.</p>
-
-<p>Sist jeg så på saken, i 2016, nevnte jeg at
-<a href="https://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/">youtube-dl</a> ikke kunne
-bake undertekster fra NRK inn i videofilene, og at jeg derfor
-foretrakk andre alternativer. Nylig oppdaget jeg at dette har endret
-seg. Fordelen med youtube-dl er at den er tilgjengelig direkte fra
-Linux-distribusjoner som <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>
-og <a href="https://www.ubuntu.com/">Ubuntu</a>, slik at en slipper å
-finne ut selv hvordan en skal få dem til å virke.</p>
-
-<p>For å laste ned et NRK-innslag med undertekster, og få den norske
-underteksten pakket inn i videofilen, så kan følgende kommando
-brukes:</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format ttml \
- --convert-subtitles srt --embed-subs \
- https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ramm-ferdig-gaa/MUHU11000316/27-04-2018
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>URL-eksemplet er dagens toppsak på tv.nrk.no. Resultatet er en
-MP4-fil med filmen og undertekster som kan spilles av med VLC. Merk
-at VLC ikke viser frem undertekster før du aktiverer dem. For å gjøre
-det, høyreklikk med musa i fremviservinduet, velg menyvalget for
-undertekst og så norsk språk. Jeg testet også '--write-auto-sub',
-men det kommandolinjeargumentet ser ikke ut til å fungere, så jeg
-endte opp med settet med argumentlisten over, som jeg fant i en
-feilrapport i youtube-dl-prosjektets samling over feilrapporter.</p>
-
-<p>Denne støtten i youtube-dl gjør det svært enkelt å lagre
-NRK-innslag, det være seg nyheter, filmer, serier eller dokumentater,
-for å ha dem tilgjengelig for fremtidig referanse og bruk, uavhengig
-av hvor lenge innslagene ligger tilgjengelig hos NRK. Så får det ikke
-hjelpe at NRKs jurister mener at det er
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Best___ikke_fortelle_noen_at_streaming_er_nedlasting___.html">vesensforskjellig
-å legge tilgjengelig for nedlasting og for streaming</a>, når det rent
-teknisk er samme sak.</p>
-
-<p>Programmet youtube-dl støtter også en rekke andre nettsteder, se
-prosjektoversikten for
-<a href="http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html">en
-komplett liste</a>.</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>

- <div class="date"> 2nd April 2018</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Brevpost er beskyttet av straffelovens bestemmelse som gjør det
-kriminelt å åpne andres brev. Dette følger av (ny) straffelovs
-<a href="https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2005-05-20-28/§205">§ 205
-(Krenkelse av retten til privat kommunikasjon)</a>, som sier at «Med
-bot eller fengsel inntil 2 år straffes den som uberettiget ... c)
-åpner brev eller annen lukket skriftlig meddelelse som er adressert
-til en annen, eller på annen måte skaffer seg uberettiget tilgang til
-innholdet.» Dette gjelder såvel postbud som alle andre som har
-befatning med brevet etter at avsender har befatning med et lukket
-brev. Tilsvarende står også tidligere utgaver av den norske
-straffeloven.</p>
-
-<p>Når en registrerer seg på usikre digitale postkasseløsningene, som
-f.eks. Digipost og e-Boks, og slik tar disse i bruk, så gir en de som
-står bak løsningene tillatelse til å åpne sine brev. Dette er
-nødvendig for at innholdet i digital post skal kunne vises frem til
-mottaker via tjenestens websider. Dermed gjelder ikke straffelovens
-paragraf om forbud mot å åpne brev, da tilgangen ikke lenger er
-uberettiget. En gir altså fremmede tilgang til å lese sin
-korrespondanse. I tillegg vil bruk av slike usikre digitale
-postbokser føre til at det blir registrert når du leser brevene, hvor
-du befinner deg (vha. tilkoblingens IP-adresse), hvilket utstyr du
-bruker og en rekke annen personlig informasjon som ikke er
-tilgjengelig når papirpost brukes. Jeg foretrekker at det er
-lovmessig beskyttelse av min korrespondanse, som jo inneholder privat
-og personlig informasjon. Det bidrar til litt bedre vern av personlig
-integritet i dagens norske samfunn.</p>

- <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>

- <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><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>

-<p>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
