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

+
+<p>A bit sad to see the low sales number on the Norwegian edition, and
+a bit surprising the English edition still selling so well.</p>

+<p>If you would like to translate and publish the book in your native
+language, I would be happy to help make it happen. Please get in

- <title>Unlimited randomness with the ChaosKey?</title>

- <description><p>A few days ago I ordered a small batch of
-<a href="http://altusmetrum.org/ChaosKey/">the ChaosKey</a>, a small
-USB dongle for generating entropy created by Bdale Garbee and Keith
-Packard. Yesterday it arrived, and I am very happy to report that it
-work great! According to its designers, to get it to work out of the
-box, you need the Linux kernel version 4.1 or later. I tested on a
-Debian Stretch machine (kernel version 4.9), and there it worked just
-fine, increasing the available entropy very quickly. I wrote a small
-test oneliner to test. It first print the current entropy level,
-drain /dev/random, and then print the entropy level for five seconds.
-Here is the situation without the ChaosKey inserted:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
- dd bs=1M if=/dev/random of=/dev/null count=1; \
- for n in $(seq 1 5); do \
- cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
- sleep 1; \
- done
-300

-0+1 oppføringer ut
-28 byte kopiert, 0,000264565 s, 106 kB/s
-4
-8
-12
-17
-21
-%
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>The entropy level increases by 3-4 every second. In such case any
-application requiring random bits (like a HTTPS enabled web server)
-will halt and wait for more entrpy. And here is the situation with
-the ChaosKey inserted:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
- dd bs=1M if=/dev/random of=/dev/null count=1; \
- for n in $(seq 1 5); do \
- cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
- sleep 1; \
- done

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

- <title>Detect OOXML files with undefined behaviour?</title>
- <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Detect_OOXML_files_with_undefined_behaviour_.html</link>

- <description><p>I just noticed
-<a href="http://www.arkivrad.no/aktuelt/riksarkivarens-forskrift-pa-horing">the
-new Norwegian proposal for archiving rules in the goverment</a> list
-<a href="http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm">ECMA-376</a>
-/ ISO/IEC 29500 (aka OOXML) as valid formats to put in long term
-storage. Luckily such files will only be accepted based on
-pre-approval from the National Archive. Allowing OOXML files to be
-used for long term storage might seem like a good idea as long as we
-forget that there are plenty of ways for a "valid" OOXML document to
-have content with no defined interpretation in the standard, which
-lead to a question and an idea.</p>
-
-<p>Is there any tool to detect if a OOXML document depend on such
-undefined behaviour? It would be useful for the National Archive (and
-anyone else interested in verifying that a document is well defined)
-to have such tool available when considering to approve the use of
-OOXML. I'm aware of the
-<a href="https://github.com/arlm/officeotron/">officeotron OOXML
-validator</a>, but do not know how complete it is nor if it will
-report use of undefined behaviour. Are there other similar tools
-available? Please send me an email if you know of any such tool.</p>
