+ <description><p>I am very pleased to be able to share with you
+<a href="https://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/nikita-noark/2021-June/000576.html">the
+announcement of a new version of the archiving system Nikita</a>
+published by its lead developer Thomas Sødring:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+
+<p>It is with great pleasure that we can announce a new release of
+nikita. Version 0.6
+(<a href="https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core">https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core</a>). This
+release makes new record keeping functionality available. This really
+is a maturity release. Both in terms of functionality but also code.
+Considerable effort has gone into refactoring the codebase and
+simplifying the code. Notable changes for this release include:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>Significantly improved OData parsing</li>
+ <li>Support for business specific metadata and national identifiers</li>
+ <li>Continued implementation of domain model and endpoints</li>
+ <li>Improved testing</li>
+ <li>Ability to export and import from arkivstruktur.xml</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>We are currently in the process of reaching an agreement with an
+archive institution to publish their picture archive using nikita with
+business specific metadata and we hope that we can share this with you
+soon. This is an interesting project as it allows the organisation to
+bring an older picture archive back to life while using the original
+metadata values stored as business specific metadata. Combined with
+OData means the scope and use of the archive is significantly
+increased and will showcase both the flexibility and power of
+Noark.</p>
+
+<p>I really think we are approaching a version 1.0 of nikita, even
+though there is still a lot of work to be done. The notable work at
+the moment is to implement access-control and full text indexing of
+documents.</p>
+
+<p>My sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to this
+release!</p>
+
+<p>- Thomas</p>

+ <title>VLC bittorrent plugin in Bullseye, saved by the bell?</title>
+ <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/VLC_bittorrent_plugin_in_Bullseye__saved_by_the_bell_.html</link>

+ <description><p>Yesterday morning I got a warning call from the Debian quality
+control system that
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent">the VLC
+bittorrent plugin</a> was due to be removed because of a release
+critical bug in one of its dependencies. As you might remember, this
+plugin make VLC able to stream videos directly from a bittorrent
+source using both torrent files and magnet links, similar to using a
+HTTP source. I believe such protocol support is a vital feature in
+VLC, allowing efficient streaming from sources such at the almost 7
+million movies in <a href="https://archive.org/">the Internet
+Archive</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The dependency was the unmaintained
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libtorrent-rasterbar">libtorrent-rasterbar</a>
+package, and <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/987306">the bug in
+question</a> blocked its python library from working properly. As I
+did not want Bullseye to release without bittorrent support in VLC, I
+set out to check out the status, and track down a fix for the problem.
+Luckily the issue had already been identified and fixed upstream,
+providing everything needed. All I needed to do was to fetch the
+Debian git repository, extract and trim the patch from upstream and
+apply it to the Debian package for upload.</p>
+
+<p>The fixed library was uploaded yesterday evening. But that is not
+enough to get it into Bullseye, as Debian is currently in package
+freeze to prepare for a new next stable release. Only non-critical
+packages with
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/autopkgtest">autopkgtest
+setup</a> included, in other words able to validate automatically that
+the package is working, are allowed to migrate automatically into the
+next release at this stage. And the unmaintained libtorrent-rasterbar
+lack such testing, and thus needed a manual override. I am happy to
+report that such manual override was approved a few minutes ago, thus
+increasing significantly the chance of VLC bittorrent streaming being
+available out of the box also for Debian/Buster users. A bit too
+close shave for my liking, as the Bullseye release is most likely just
+a few days away, and this did feel like the package was saved by the
+bell. I am so glad the warning email showed up in time for me to
+handle the issue, and a big thanks go to the Debian Release team for
+the quick feedback on
+<a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-release">#debian-release</a>
+and their <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/987865">swift
+unblocking</a>.</p>

+ <description><p>I have neglected the Valutakrambod library for a while, but decided
+this weekend to give it a face lift. I fixed a few minor glitches in
+several of the service drivers, where the API had changed since I last
+looked at the code. I also added support for fetching the order book
+from the newcomer Norwegian Bitcoin Exchange.</p>
+
+<p>I also decided to migrate the project from github to gitlab in the
+process. If you want a python library for talking to various currency
+exchanges, check out

+ <description><p>Etter intenst arbeid over mange måneder er endelig den norske
+utgaven av «Hvordan knuse overvåkningskapitalismen» av Cory Doctorow
+ferdig og klar til å glede millioner av lesere over hele verden.
+Følgende pressemelding ble nettopp sendt ut til norske redaksjoner:
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p><strong>Hva gjør stordata med oss, og hvordan gjør algoritmene
+«fake news» til realiter?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Nå foreligger en viktig bok om temaet også på norsk. Boken klargjør
+og foreslår hvordan vi selv som enkeltpersoner, men også nasjonalt og
+internasjonalt kan bekjempe stordatakonsentrasjonene;
+«overvåkingskapitalismen». Boken er «Hvordan knuse
+overvåkingskapitalismen» av dr. Cory Doctorow. Den engelske
+bokutgivelsen kom for noen dager siden og lanseres med et Webinar
+torsdag 2021-01-28. Doctorow besøkte Norge og NUUG i desember med sin
+presentasjon Monopoly, Not Mind Control: What's Really Happening With
+"Surveillance Capitalism".</p>
+
+<p>I funn etter funn, eksempel etter eksempel, gjennomgår og
+analyserer dr. Doctorow de utfordringer vi møter i større og større
+omfang. Ikke bare i USA, men også her hjemme.</p>
+
+<p>Cory Doctorow er en britisk-kanadisk forfatter, journalist og
+aktivist, kjent for sine science fiction-romaner, for arbeidet for
+Creative Commons-bevegelsen, og for sine bidrag til reform av
+opphavsretten. Han er både æresdoktor og gjesteforeleser i
+datavitenskap ved Open University i UK, konsulent for Electronic
+Frontier Foundation, og godt kjent for innsiktsfullt å kommentere og
+skrive om digital utvikling.</p>
+
+<p>Boken lanseres nå på norsk, både som ebok og på papir, oversatt av
+en dugnadsgjeng ledet av Petter Reinholdtsen.</p>
+
+<p>Boken reiser noen helt grunnleggende og samfunnskritiske spørsmål:
+Hva fører det til når store deler av Internettet domineres av få store
+aktører og deres styringsverktøy og algoritmer?</p>
+
+<p>Som individer bør vi være opptatt at grenser blir satt og håndhevet
+- grenser for overvåkning av individet, for utøvelse av kommersiell
+og politisk påvirkning, og for monopoldannelser i
+dataverdenen. Slik grensesetting styrker personvernet.</p>
+
+<p>Konkurransetilsynet har ansvaret for at konkurranselovens § 11 skal
+forby «et dominerende foretak for utilbørlig å utnytte og misbruke
+sin dominerende stilling». Et tilsvarende forbud omfattes også av
+EØS-avtalens artikkel 54. Boken går i detalj om serien av
+innskrenkninger vi møter i valgfriheten, innskrenkninger som denne
+lovgivningen nettopp skal forhindre. Håndhevelse av en slik lovgivning
+er også til fordel for mindre næringsdrivende som uten dette får
+begrenset sine faktiske eller potensielle muligheter for vekst og
+etablering. «Slik atferd kan utgjøre et misbruk og kan ta ulike
+former», skriver Konkurransetilsynet.</p>
+
+<p>Cory Doctorow går i sin bok lengre enn det med sine mange eksempler
+på forhold det burde vært grepet inn mot.</p>
+
+<p>«Boken bør bidra til et sterkere engasjemen fra voktere av
+Internettet nasjonalt og internasjonalt - EU medregnet» sier
+oversetter Ole-Erik Yrvin og fortsetter: «Vi har derfor
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2021-01-26-knus-overvaakningskapitalismen-helleland.pdf">allerede
+tatt opp bokens forslag</a> direkte med Distrikts- og
+digitaliseringsminister Linda Hofstad Helleland (H) og
+Konkurransetilsynet slik at de kan følges opp.»</p>
+
+<p>«Også Norge bør innta en pådriverrolle i denne utviklingen», sier
+Petter Reinholdtsen. «Tiden er knapp, og tilsynsmyndighetene må få
+de verktøy og de ressurser de trenger for at vi her hjemme skal oppnå
+nødvendige resultater. Dette gjelder ikke bare vår egen generasjon;
+det gjelder alle generasjoner fremover», avslutter Petter
+Reinholdsen.</p>

+ <title>Latest Jami back in Debian Testing, and scriptable using dbus</title>

+ <description><p>After a lot of hard work by its maintainer Alexandre Viau and
+others, the decentralized communication platform
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jami_(software)">Jami</a>
+(earlier known as Ring), managed to get
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ring">its latest version</a>
+into Debian Testing. Several of its dependencies has caused build and
+propagation problems, which all seem to be solved now.</p>
+
+<p>In addition to the fact that Jami is decentralized, similar to how
+bittorrent is decentralized, I first of all like how it is not
+connected to external IDs like phone numbers. This allow me to set up
+computers to send me notifications using Jami without having to find
+get a phone number for each computer. Automatic notification via Jami
+is also made trivial thanks to the provided client side API (as a DBus
+service). Here is my bourne shell script demonstrating how to let any
+system send a message to any Jami address. It will create a new
+identity before sending the message, if no Jami identity exist
+already:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+#!/bin/sh
+#
+# Usage: $0 <jami-address> <message>
+#
+# Send <message> to <jami-address>, create local jami account if
+# missing.
+#
+# License: GPL v2 or later at your choice
+# Author: Petter Reinholdtsen
+
+
+if [ -z "$HOME" ] ; then
+ echo "error: missing \$HOME, required for dbus to work"
+ exit 1
+fi
+
+# First, get dbus running if not already running

+PIDFILE=/run/asterisk/dbus-session.pid
+if [ -e $PIDFILE ] ; then
+ . $PIDFILE
+ if ! kill -0 $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID 2>/dev/null ; then

+ fi
+fi

+ <description><p>Endelig er den norske utgaven av «Made with Creative Commons»
+ferdig og publisert. Følgende pressemelding ble nettopp sendt ut:
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p><strong>Boken «Made with Creative Commons» lanseres på norsk</strong></p>
+
+<p>«Gjort med Creative Commons» er en bok om gjenbruk, deling og den
+digitale allmenningen. Boken omhandler å bygge en forretningsmodell på
+åpne verdier, endringene i tankesett og filosofi, og fordelene og
+praksisen som kommer med å være «åpen».</p>
+
+<p>Forfatterne Paul Stacey og Sarah Hinchliff Pearson tar oss med inn
+i samtaler med 24 mennesker, prosjekter og organisasjoner som på ulike
+måter generere inntekter gjennom deling av sine verk. Som leser får
+man innsikt i hvordan alt fra forskere, forfattere, kunstnere og
+filmskapere tjener penger basert på åpne forretningsmodeller. En av
+referansestudiene i denne boken viser hvordan Blender Animation Studio
+lager vakre animasjonsfilmer som de publiserer under en fri lisens,
+basert på en plattform som er fri programvare.</p>
+
+<p>Utover praktiske eksempler på forskjellige forretningsmodeller berører
+også boken forskjellen mellom tradisjonelle kommersielle virksomheter og
+de som tar utgangspunkt i den globale delingskulturen.</p>
+
+<p>«Hvis du ønsker å lære mer om digital delingskultur og Creative Commons
+er dette en bok som både vil inspirere og gi grunnleggende innsikt» sier
+leder av Creative Commons Norge, Christer Solheim Gundersen. «De siste
+årene har denne globale bevegelsen sett en betydelig vekst med totalt
+over 1,6 milliarder verk med CC-lisens tilgjengelig på nett.»
+
+Nå er den tilgjengelig på norsk takket være liten gruppe frivillige
+entusiaster ledet av Petter Reinholdtsen. «På vegne av Creative Commons
+Norge vil jeg takke hver enkelt bidragsyter. Dette prosjektet er i seg
+selv et inspirerende eksempel på at delingskulturen også har godt
+fotfeste her i Norge.», avslutter Gundersen.</p>
+
+<p>Boken er selvsagt fritt tilgjengelig under en Creative Commons lisens,
+og kan også kjøpes som ebok og papirutgave på blant annet Lulu.com og
+Amazon.</p>

+
+<p>I am happy to report that we finally made it! Norwegian Bokmål
+became the first translation published on paper of the new Buster
+based edition of "<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/">The Debian
+Administrator's Handbook</a>". The print proof reading copy arrived
+some days ago, and it looked good, so now the book is approved for
+general distribution. This updated paperback edition <a
+href="https://debian-handbook.info/get/#norwegian">is available from
+lulu.com</a>. The book is also available for download in electronic
+form as PDF, EPUB and Mobipocket, and can also be
+<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/browse/nb-NO/stable/">read online</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I am very happy to wrap up this Creative Common licensed project,
+which concludes several months of work by several volunteers. The
+number of Linux related books published in Norwegian are few, and I
+really hope this one will gain many readers, as it is packed with deep
+knowledge on Linux and the Debian ecosystem. The book will be
+available for various Internet book stores like Amazon and Barnes &
+Noble soon, but I recommend buying
+"<a href="https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/roland-mas-and-rapha%C3%ABl-hertzog/h%C3%A5ndbok-for-debian-administratoren/paperback/product-9j7qwq.html">Håndbok
+for Debian-administratoren</a>" directly from the source at Lulu.

+ <description><p>Thanks to the good work of several volunteers, the updated edition
+of the Norwegian translation for
+"<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/">The Debian Administrator's
+Handbook</a>" is now almost completed. After many months of proof
+reading, I consider the proof reading complete enough for us to move
+to the next step, and have asked for the print version to be prepared
+and sent of to the print on demand service lulu.com. While it is
+still not to late if you find any incorrect translations on
+<a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/languages/nb_NO/debian-handbook/">the
+hosted Weblate service</a>, but it will be soon. :) You can check out
+<a href=" https://debian-handbook.info/browse/nb-NO/stable/">the Buster
+edition on the web</a> until the print edition is ready.</p>
+
+<p>The book will be for sale on lulu.com and various web book stores,
+with links available from the web site for the book linked to above.
+I hope a lot of readers find it useful.</p>
