-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Several people contacted me after my previous blog post about my
-need for a new laptop, and provided very useful feedback.  I wish to
-thank every one of these.  Several pointed me to the possibility of
-fixing my X230, and I am already in the process of getting Lenovo to
-do so thanks to the on site, next day support contract covering the
-machine.  But the battery is almost useless (I expect to replace it
-with a non-official battery) and I do not expect the machine to live
-for many more years, so it is time to plan its replacement.  If I did
-not have a support contract, it was suggested to find replacement parts
-using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.francecrans.com/&quot;&gt;FrancEcrans&lt;/a&gt;, but it
-might present a language barrier as I do not understand French.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;One tip I got was to use the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=nb&quot;&gt;Skinflint&lt;/a&gt; web service to
-compare laptop models.  It seem to have more models available than
-prisjakt.no.  Another tip I got from someone I know have similar
-keyboard preferences was that the HP EliteBook 840 keyboard is not
-very good, and this matches my experience with earlier EliteBook
-keyboards I tested.  Because of this, I will not consider it any further.
-
-&lt;p&gt;When I wrote my blog post, I was not aware of Thinkpad X250, the
-newest Thinkpad X model.  The keyboard reintroduces mouse buttons
-(which is missing from the X240), and is working fairly well with
-Debian Sid/Unstable according to
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corsac.net/X250/&quot;&gt;Corsac.net&lt;/a&gt;.  The reports I
-got on the keyboard quality are not consistent.  Some say the keyboard
-is good, others say it is ok, while others say it is not very good.
-Those with experience from X41 and and X60 agree that the X250
-keyboard is not as good as those trusty old laptops, and suggest I
-keep and fix my X230 instead of upgrading, or get a used X230 to
-replace it.  I&#39;m also told that the X250 lack leds for caps lock, disk
-activity and battery status, which is very convenient on my X230.  I&#39;m
-also told that the CPU fan is running very often, making it a bit
-noisy.  In any case, the X250 do not work out of the box with Debian
-Stable/Jessie, one of my requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I have also gotten a few vendor proposals, one was
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://pro-star.com&quot;&gt;Pro-Star&lt;/a&gt;, another was
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/product/libreboot-x200/&quot;&gt;Libreboot&lt;/a&gt;.
-The latter look very attractive to me.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Again, thank you all for the very useful feedback.  It help a lot
-as I keep looking for a replacement.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2015-07-06: I was recommended to check out the
-&lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;lapstore.de&lt;/a&gt; web shop for used laptops.  They got several
-different
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lapstore.de/f.php/shop/lapstore/f/411/lang/x/kw/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X_Serie/&quot;&gt;old
-thinkpad X models&lt;/a&gt;, and provide one year warranty.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Thu, 9 Mar 2017 15:20:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Over the years, administrating thousand of NFS mounting linux
+computers at the time, I often needed a way to detect if the machine
+was experiencing NFS hang.  If you try to use &lt;tt&gt;df&lt;/tt&gt; or look at a
+file or directory affected by the hang, the process (and possibly the
+shell) will hang too.  So you want to be able to detect this without
+risking the detection process getting stuck too.  It has not been
+obvious how to do this.  When the hang has lasted a while, it is
+possible to find messages like these in dmesg:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+nfs: server nfsserver not responding, still trying
+&lt;br&gt;nfs: server nfsserver OK
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+  
+&lt;p&gt;It is hard to know if the hang is still going on, and it is hard to
+be sure looking in dmesg is going to work.  If there are lots of other
+messages in dmesg the lines might have rotated out of site before they
+are noticed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;While reading through the nfs client implementation in linux kernel
+code, I came across some statistics that seem to give a way to detect
+it.  The om_timeouts sunrpc value in the kernel will increase every
+time the above log entry is inserted into dmesg.  And after digging a
+bit further, I discovered that this value show up in
+/proc/self/mountstats on Linux.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The mountstats content seem to be shared between files using the
+same file system context, so it is enough to check one of the
+mountstats files to get the state of the mount point for the machine.
+I assume this will not show lazy umounted NFS points, nor NFS mount
+points in a different process context (ie with a different filesystem
+view), but that does not worry me.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The content for a NFS mount point look similar to this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;

+[...]
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The key number to look at is the third number in the per-op list.
+It is the number of NFS timeouts experiences per file system
+operation.  Here 22 write timeouts and 5 access timeouts.  If these
+numbers are increasing, I believe the machine is experiencing NFS
+hang.  Unfortunately the timeout value do not start to increase right
+away.  The NFS operations need to time out first, and this can take a
+while.  The exact timeout value depend on the setup.  For example the
+defaults for TCP and UDP mount points are quite different, and the
+timeout value is affected by the soft, hard, timeo and retrans NFS
+mount options.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The only way I have been able to get working on Debian and RedHat
+Enterprise Linux for getting the timeout count is to peek in /proc/.
+But according to
+&lt;ahref=&quot;http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-4555/netmonitor-12/index.html&quot;&gt;Solaris
+10 System Administration Guide: Network Services&lt;/a&gt;, the &#39;nfsstat -c&#39;
+command can be used to get these timeout values.  But this do not work
+on Linux, as far as I can tell.  I
+&lt;ahref=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/857043&quot;&gt;asked Debian about this&lt;/a&gt;,
+but have not seen any replies yet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Is there a better way to figure out if a Linux NFS client is
+experiencing NFS hangs?  Is there a way to detect which processes are
+affected?  Is there a way to get the NFS mount going quickly once the
+network problem causing the NFS hang has been cleared?  I would very
+much welcome some clues, as we regularly run into NFS hangs.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;My primary work horse laptop is failing, and will need a
-replacement soon.  The left 5 cm of the screen on my Thinkpad X230
-started flickering yesterday, and I suspect the cause is a broken
-cable, as changing the angle of the screen some times get rid of the
-flickering.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My requirements have not really changed since I bought it, and is
-still as
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Thank_you_Thinkpad_X41__for_your_long_and_trustworthy_service.html&quot;&gt;I
-described them in 2013&lt;/a&gt;.  The last time I bought a laptop, I had
-good help from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prisjakt.no/category.php?k=353&quot;&gt;prisjakt.no&lt;/a&gt;
-where I could select at least a few of the requirements (mouse pin,
-wifi, weight) and go through the rest manually.  Three button mouse
-and a good keyboard is not available as an option, and all the three
-laptop models proposed today (Thinkpad X240, HP EliteBook 820 G1 and
-G2) lack three mouse buttons).  It is also unclear to me how good the
-keyboard on the HP EliteBooks are.  I hope Lenovo have not messed up
-the keyboard, even if the quality and robustness in the X series have
-deteriorated since X41.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I wonder how I can find a sensible laptop when none of the options
-seem sensible to me?  Are there better services around to search the
-set of available laptops for features?  Please send me an email if you
-have suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;So the new president in the United States of America claim to be
+surprised to discover that he was wiretapped during the election
+before he was elected president.  He even claim this must be illegal.
+Well, doh, if it is one thing the confirmations from Snowden
+documented, it is that the entire population in USA is wiretapped, one
+way or another.  Of course the president candidates were wiretapped,
+alongside the senators, judges and the rest of the people in USA.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Next, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ask the Department of
+Justice to go public rejecting the claims that Donald Trump was
+wiretapped illegally.  I fail to see the relevance, given that I am
+sure the surveillance industry in USA believe they have all the legal
+backing they need to conduct mass surveillance on the entire
+world.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There is even the director of the FBI stating that he never saw an
+order requesting wiretapping of Donald Trump.  That is not very
+surprising, given how the FISA court work, with all its activity being
+secret.  Perhaps he only heard about it?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;What I find most sad in this story is how Norwegian journalists
+present it.  In a news reports the other day in the radio from the
+Norwegian National broadcasting Company (NRK), I heard the journalist
+claim that &#39;the FBI denies any wiretapping&#39;, while the reality is that
+&#39;the FBI denies any illegal wiretapping&#39;.  There is a fundamental and
+important difference, and it make me sad that the journalists are
+unable to grasp it.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2017-03-13:&lt;/strong&gt; Look like
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://theintercept.com/2017/03/13/rand-paul-is-right-nsa-routinely-monitors-americans-communications-without-warrants/&quot;&gt;The
+Intercept report that US Senator Rand Paul confirm what I state above&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;For almost a year now, we have been working on making a Norwegian
+Bokmål edition of &lt;a href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/&quot;&gt;The Debian
+Administrator&#39;s Handbook&lt;/a&gt;.  Now, thanks to the tireless effort of
+Ole-Erik, Ingrid and Andreas, the initial translation is complete, and
+we are working on the proof reading to ensure consistent language and
+use of correct computer science terms.  The plan is to make the book
+available on paper, as well as in electronic form.  For that to
+happen, the proof reading must be completed and all the figures need
+to be translated.  If you want to help out, get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;

+fresh PDF edition&lt;/a&gt; in A4 format (the final book will have smaller

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I en global verden med eierskap på tvers, trengs det informasjon om
-hvem som har kontrollen i selskaper og bedrifter.  Og for å få tilgang
-til slik informasjon for alle som ønsker å analysere eierskap, holder
-med ikke med nasjonale databaser over eierskap, det må globale
-samledatabaser med åpne data til.  Heldigvis finnes det en
-internasjonal bevegelse for å gjøre selskapsinformasjon for alle land
-offentlig tilgjengelig.  En slik database heter
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://opencorporates.com&quot;&gt;OpenCorporates&lt;/a&gt;, der
-informasjonen er gratis tilgjengelig med en &quot;del på samme
-vilkår&quot;-lisens.  De samler inn selskapsinformasjon, eierskap,
-konsesjonstildelinger og lignende.  De manglet ganske mye for Norge,
-da bruksvilkårene til Norsk offentlig informasjon i stor grad
-blokkerer OpenCorporates fra å samle den inn.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Men jeg er jo involvert i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;, som har
-TV-konsesjon, og tenkte det kunne være fint om informasjon om alle
-mediakonsesjoner var tilgjengelig i OpenCorporates, så jeg sendte
-avgårde følgende spørsmål til Medietilsynet 2015-06-22:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Finnes det en oversikt over enhetene som Mediatilsynet fører
-tilsyn med som åpne data?  Jeg lette etter den på
-&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://data.norge.no/&quot;&gt;http://data.norge.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; og
-&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://hotell.difi.no/&quot;&gt;http://hotell.difi.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; uten å
-finne noe der, og fant heller ikke noe under
-&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medietilsynet.no/&quot;&gt;http://www.medietilsynet.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg tenker på alle som har fått kringkastingskonsesjon og alle som
-er omtalt under
-&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebildet/&quot;&gt;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebildet/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg skulle gjerne hatt dette maskinlesbart, og inkludert
-organisasjonsnummer og hva slags forhold mediatilsynet har til
-organisasjonene.  Tanken er å importere det i
-&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;https://opencorporates.com/&quot;&gt;https://opencorporates.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; for analyse, så det bør ikke ha
-bruksbegresninger som gjør dette umulig.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To dager senere fikk jeg svar, med de datasettene de hadde
-tilgjengelig.  Svaret fra Hanne Sekkelsten hos Medietilsynet var
-informativt og imøtekommende.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Vi viser til din e-post av 22. juni, der du ber om å få tilsendt oversikter
-over aktører Medietilsynet fører tilsyn med.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Medietilsynet fører tilsyn med kringkastere og audiovisuelle
-bestillingstjenester som omfattes av kringkastingsloven, og med
-eierskap i aviser, fjernsyn radio og elektroniske medier etter
-medieeierskapsloven. I tillegg vil Medietilsynet etter at
-beskyttelsesloven trer i kraft fra 1. juli ha tilsyn med en rekke nye
-aktører. Nærmere informasjon om den nye loven finnes på Medietilsynets
-nettsted, her:
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebransjen/bildeprogramloven/&quot;&gt;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebransjen/bildeprogramloven/&lt;/a&gt;
-.  Vi har ikke utarbeidet oversikter over alle aktørene, men vi sender
-deg her de listene vi har utarbeidet, hentet fra våre databaser. Vi
-har dessverre ikke ferdige rapporter som inneholder
-organisasjonsnummer. Dersom du ønsker flere opplysninger ber vi om at
-du tar kontakt med oss slik at vi kan finne ut av hvilke opplysninger
-du trenger, og hvilke vi kan fremskaffe.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Wed, 1 Mar 2017 20:50:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago I ordered a small batch of
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://altusmetrum.org/ChaosKey/&quot;&gt;the ChaosKey&lt;/a&gt;, 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:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% 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 inn
+0+1 oppføringer ut
+28 byte kopiert, 0,000264565 s, 106 kB/s
+4
+8
+12
+17
+21
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% 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

-               <title>Graphing the Norwegian company ownership structure</title>
-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Graphing_the_Norwegian_company_ownership_structure.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Graphing_the_Norwegian_company_ownership_structure.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Mon, 15 Jun 2015 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;It is a bit work to figure out the ownership structure of companies
-in Norway.  The information is publicly available, but one need to
-recursively look up ownership for all owners to figure out the complete
-ownership graph of a given set of companies.  To save me the work in
-the future, I wrote a script to do this automatically, outputting the
-ownership structure using the Graphviz/dotty format.  The data source
-is web scraping from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.proff.no/&quot;&gt;Proff&lt;/a&gt;, because
-I failed to find a useful source directly from the official keepers of
-the ownership data, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brreg.no/&quot;&gt;Brønnøysundsregistrene&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To get an ownership graph for a set of companies, fetch
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/brreg-norway-ownership-graph&quot;&gt;the code from git&lt;/a&gt; and run it using the organisation number.  I&#39;m
-using the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet as an example here, as its
-ownership structure is very simple:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-% time ./bin/eierskap-dotty 958033540 &gt; dagbladet.dot
-
-real    0m2.841s
-user    0m0.184s
-sys     0m0.036s
-%
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The script accept several organisation numbers on the command line,
-allowing a cluster of companies to be graphed in the same image.  The
-resulting dot file for the example above look like this.  The edges
-are labeled with the ownership percentage, and the nodes uses the
-organisation number as their name and the name as the label:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-digraph ownership {
-rankdir = LR;
-&quot;Aller Holding A/s&quot; -&gt; &quot;910119877&quot; [label=&quot;100%&quot;]
-&quot;910119877&quot; -&gt; &quot;998689015&quot; [label=&quot;100%&quot;]
-&quot;998689015&quot; -&gt; &quot;958033540&quot; [label=&quot;99%&quot;]
-&quot;974530600&quot; -&gt; &quot;958033540&quot; [label=&quot;1%&quot;]
-&quot;958033540&quot; [label=&quot;AS DAGBLADET&quot;]
-&quot;998689015&quot; [label=&quot;Berner Media Holding AS&quot;]
-&quot;974530600&quot; [label=&quot;Dagbladets Stiftelse&quot;]
-&quot;910119877&quot; [label=&quot;Aller Media AS&quot;]
-}
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To view the ownership graph, run &quot;&lt;tt&gt;dotty dagbladet.dot&lt;/tt&gt;&quot; or
-convert it to a PNG using &quot;&lt;tt&gt;dot -T png dagbladet.dot &gt;
-dagbladet.png&lt;/tt&gt;&quot;.  The result can be seen below:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-06-15-ownership-graphs-norway-dagbladet.png&quot; width=&quot;80%&quot;&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Note that I suspect the &quot;Aller Holding A/S&quot; entry to be incorrect
-data in the official ownership register, as that name is not
-registered in the official company register for Norway.  The ownership
-register is sensitive to typos and there seem to be no strict checking
-of the ownership links.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Let me know if you improve the script or find better data sources.
-The code is licensed according to GPL 2 or newer.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2015-06-15: Since the initial post I&#39;ve been told that
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.proff.dk/firma/carl-allers-etablissement-aktieselskab/københavn-v/hovedkontorer/13624518-3/&quot;&gt;Aller
-Holding A/S&lt;/a&gt;&quot; is a Danish company, which explain why it did not
-have a Norwegian organisation number.  I&#39;ve also been told that there
-is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.brreg.no/automatiske/webservices/&quot;&gt;web
-services API available&lt;/a&gt; from Brønnøysundsregistrene, for those
-willing to accept the terms or pay the price.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I just noticed
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arkivrad.no/aktuelt/riksarkivarens-forskrift-pa-horing&quot;&gt;the
+new Norwegian proposal for archiving rules in the goverment&lt;/a&gt; list
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-376.htm&quot;&gt;ECMA-376&lt;/a&gt;
+/ 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 &quot;valid&quot; OOXML document to
+have content with no defined interpretation in the standard, which
+lead to a question and an idea.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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&#39;m aware of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/arlm/officeotron/&quot;&gt;officeotron OOXML
+validator&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Television loudness is the source of frustration for viewers
-everywhere.  Some channels are very load, others are less loud, and
-ads tend to shout very high to get the attention of the viewers, and
-the viewers do not like this.  This fact is well known to the TV
-channels.  See for example the BBC white paper
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/whp-pdf-files/WHP202.pdf&quot;&gt;Terminology
-for loudness and level dBTP, LU, and all that&lt;/a&gt;&quot; from 2011 for a
-summary of the problem domain.  To better address the need for even
-loadness, the TV channels got together several years ago to agree on a
-new way to measure loudness in digital files as one step in
-standardizing loudness.  From this came the ITU-R standard BS.1770,
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-BS.1770/en&quot;&gt;Algorithms to
-measure audio programme loudness and true-peak audio level&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The ITU-R BS.1770 specification describe an algorithm to measure
-loadness in LUFS (Loudness Units, referenced to Full Scale). But
-having a way to measure is not enough.  To get the same loudness
-across TV channels, one also need to decide which value to standardize
-on.  For European TV channels, this was done in the EBU Recommondaton
-R128, &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/r/r128.pdf&quot;&gt;Loudness
-normalisation and permitted maximum level of audio signals&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, which
-specifies a recommended level of -23 LUFS.  In Norway, I have been
-told that NRK, TV2, MTG and SBS have decided among themselves to
-follow the R128 recommondation for playout from 2016-03-01.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;There are free software available to measure and adjust the loudness
-level using the LUFS.  In Debian, I am aware of a library named
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libebur128&quot;&gt;libebur128&lt;/a&gt;
-able to measure the loudness and since yesterday morning a new binary
-named &lt;a href=&quot;http://bs1770gain.sourceforge.net&quot;&gt;bs1770gain&lt;/a&gt;
-capable of both measuring and adjusting was uploaded and is waiting
-for NEW processing.  I plan to maintain the latter in Debian under the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-multimedia-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&quot;&gt;Debian
-multimedia&lt;/a&gt; umbrella.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The free software based TV channel I am involved in,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;, plan to follow the
-R128 recommondation ourself as soon as we can adjust the software to
-do so, and the bs1770gain tool seem like a good fit for that part of
-the puzzle to measure loudness on new video uploaded to Frikanalen.
-Personally, I plan to use bs1770gain to adjust the loudness of videos
-I upload to Frikanalen on behalf of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the
-NUUG member organisation&lt;/a&gt;.  The program seem to be able to measure
-the LUFS value of any media file handled by ffmpeg, but I&#39;ve only
-successfully adjusted the LUFS value of WAV files.  I suspect it
-should be able to adjust it for all the formats handled by ffmpeg.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, we received the ruling from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_day_in_court_challenging_seizure_of_popcorn_time_no_for__domstolkontroll.html&quot;&gt;my
+day in court&lt;/a&gt;.  The case in question is a challenge of the seizure
+of the DNS domain popcorn-time.no.  The ruling simply did not mention
+most of our arguments, and seemed to take everything ØKOKRIM said at
+face value, ignoring our demonstration and explanations.  But it is
+hard to tell for sure, as we still have not seen most of the documents
+in the case and thus were unprepared and unable to contradict several
+of the claims made in court by the opposition.  We are considering an
+appeal, but it is partly a question of funding, as it is costing us
+quite a bit to pay for our lawyer.  If you want to help, please
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml&quot;&gt;donate to the
+NUUG defense fund&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The details of the case, as far as we know it, is available in
+Norwegian from

-                <pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2015 15:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Helt siden jeg i 2012 fikk beskjed fra MPEG LA om at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/MPEG_LA_mener_NRK_m__ha_avtale_med_dem_for___kringkaste_og_publisere_H_264_video.html&quot;&gt;NRK
-trengte patentavtale med dem&lt;/a&gt; hvis de distribuerte H.264-video til
-sluttbrukere, har jeg lurt på hva som gjør at NRK ikke har slik
-avtale.  For noen dager siden fikk jeg endelig gjort noe med min
-undring, og sendte 2015-05-28 følgende epost til info (at) nrk.no med
-tittel &quot;Hva gjør at NRK kan distribuere H.264-video uten patentavtale
-med MPEG LA?&quot;:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg lurer på en ting rundt NRKs bruk av H.264-video på sine
-websider samt distribusjon via RiksTV og kabel-TV.  Har NRK vurdert om
-det er behov for en patentavtale med
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/&quot;&gt;MPEG LA&lt;/a&gt; slik det står i
-programvarelisensene til blant annet Apple Final Cut Studio, Adobe
-Premiere Pro, Avid og Apples Final Cut Pro X?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hvis dere har vurdert dette, hva var utfallet av en slik vurdering?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hvis dere ikke har vurdert dette, har NRK planer om å vurdere behovet
-for patentavtale?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I følge en artikkel på
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://nrkbeta.no/2012/02/01/siste-kutt-for-final-cut/&quot;&gt;NRK
-Beta i 2012&lt;/a&gt; har NRK brukt eller testet både Apple Final Cut
-Studio, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid og Apples Final Cut Pro X til bruk
-for å redigere video før sending. Alle disse har bruksvilkår
-understøttet av opphavsretten som sier at de kun kan brukes til å lage
-filmer til personlig og ikke-kommersiell bruk - med mindre en har en
-lisensavtale med MPEG LA om bruk av patenter utstedt i USA for H.264.
-Se f.eks. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.avid.com/static/resources/common/documents/corporate/LICENSE.pdf&quot;&gt;bruksvilkårene for Avid&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20000101-264.html&quot;&gt;Adobe Premiere&lt;/a&gt; og &lt;a href=&quot;http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/finalcutstudio2.pdf&quot;&gt;Apple Final
-Cut Studio&lt;/a&gt; og søk etter &quot;MPEG LA&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Dette får meg til å lure på om det er brudd på opphavsretten å bruke
-disse verktøyene i strid med bruksvilkårene uten patentavtale med MPEG
-LA.  Men NRK bruker jo tilsynelatende disse verktøyene uten patentavtale
-med MPEG LA.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I følge forfatteren av Open Broadcast Encoder finnes det to typer
-H.264-relaterte avtaler en kan få med MPEG LA. Det er én for å lage
-programvare og utstyr som produserer H.264-video, og en annen for å
-kringkaste video som bruker H.264. Dette forteller meg at selv om
-produsentene av utstyr og programvare som NRK bruker har en slik avtale
-med MPEG LA, så trenges det en egen avtale for å kringkaste video på det
-formatet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I følge Ryan Rodriguez hos MPEG LA, da jeg spurte ham på epost i
-juni 2012, har NRK ikke en slik avtale med MPEG LA. Han sa videre at
-NRK trenger en slik avtale hvis NRK tilbyr H.264-kodet video til
-sluttbrukere.  Jeg sjekket listen med
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Licensees.aspx&quot;&gt;organisasjoner
-med avtale med MPEG LA&lt;/a&gt; og NRK står fortsatt ikke der.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg lurer dermed på hva som gjør at NRK kan bruke de overnevnte
-videoredigeringsverktøyene, som tilsynelatende har krav om avtale med
-MPEG LA for å kunne brukes slik NRK bruker dem, til å lage videofiler
-for distribusjon uten å ha en avtale med MPEG LA om distribusjon av
-H.264-video?  Dette er spesielt interessant å vite for oss andre som
-også vurderer å spre H.264-video etter å ha redigert dem med disse mye
-brukte videoredigeringsverktøyene.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Samme dag fikk jeg automatisk svar om at min henvendelse hadde fått
-saksid 1294699.  Jeg fikk deretter følgende respons fra NRK
-2015-06-09:&lt;/p&gt;

+
+&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, I spent the entire day in court in Follo Tingrett
+representing &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the member association
+NUUG&lt;/a&gt;, alongside &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.efn.no/&quot;&gt;the member
+association EFN&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imc.no&quot;&gt;the DNS registrar
+IMC&lt;/a&gt;, challenging the seizure of the DNS name popcorn-time.no.  It
+was interesting to sit in a court of law for the first time in my
+life.  Our team can be seen in the picture above: attorney Ola
+Tellesbø, EFN board member Tom Fredrik Blenning, IMC CEO Morten Emil
+Eriksen and NUUG board member Petter Reinholdtsen.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.domstol.no/no/Enkelt-domstol/follo-tingrett/Nar-gar-rettssaken/Beramming/?cid=AAAA1701301512081262234UJFBVEZZZZZEJBAvtale&quot;&gt;The
+case at hand&lt;/a&gt; is that the Norwegian National Authority for
+Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (aka
+Økokrim) decided on their own, to seize a DNS domain early last
+year, without following
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.norid.no/no/regelverk/navnepolitikk/#link12&quot;&gt;the
+official policy of the Norwegian DNS authority&lt;/a&gt; which require a
+court decision.  The web site in question was a site covering Popcorn
+Time.  And Popcorn Time is the name of a technology with both legal
+and illegal applications.  Popcorn Time is a client combining
+searching a Bittorrent directory available on the Internet with
+downloading/distribute content via Bittorrent and playing the
+downloaded content on screen.  It can be used illegally if it is used
+to distribute content against the will of the right holder, but it can
+also be used legally to play a lot of content, for example the
+millions of movies
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/movies&quot;&gt;available from the
+Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt; or the collection
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://vodo.net/films/&quot;&gt;available from Vodo&lt;/a&gt;.  We created
+&lt;a href=&quot;magnet:?xt=urn:btih:86c1802af5a667ca56d3918aecb7d3c0f7173084&amp;dn=PresentasjonFolloTingrett.mov&amp;tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fpublic.popcorn-tracker.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&quot;&gt;a
+video demonstrating legally use of Popcorn Time&lt;/a&gt; and played it in
+Court.  It can of course be downloaded using Bittorrent.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I did not quite know what to expect from a day in court.  The
+government held on to their version of the story and we held on to
+ours, and I hope the judge is able to make sense of it all.  We will
+know in two weeks time.  Unfortunately I do not have high hopes, as
+the Government have the upper hand here with more knowledge about the
+case, better training in handling criminal law and in general higher
+standing in the courts than fairly unknown DNS registrar and member
+associations.  It is expensive to be right also in Norway.  So far the
+case have cost more than NOK 70 000,-.  To help fund the case, NUUG
+and EFN have asked for donations, and managed to collect around NOK 25
+000,- so far.  Given the presentation from the Government, I expect
+the government to appeal if the case go our way.  And if the case do
+not go our way, I hope we have enough funding to appeal.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;From the other side came two people from Økokrim.  On the benches,
+appearing to be part of the group from the government were two people
+from the Simonsen Vogt Wiik lawyer office, and three others I am not
+quite sure who was.  Økokrim had proposed to present two witnesses
+from The Motion Picture Association, but this was rejected because
+they did not speak Norwegian and it was a bit late to bring in a
+translator, but perhaps the two from MPA were present anyway.  All
+seven appeared to know each other.  Good to see the case is take
+seriously.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you, like me, believe the courts should be involved before a DNS
+domain is hijacked by the government, or you believe the Popcorn Time
+technology have a lot of useful and legal applications, I suggest you
+too &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml&quot;&gt;donate to
+the NUUG defense fund&lt;/a&gt;.  Both Bitcoin and bank transfer are
+available. If NUUG get more than we need for the legal action (very
+unlikely), the rest will be spend promoting free software, open
+standards and unix-like operating systems in Norway, so no matter what
+happens the money will be put to good use.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to lean more about the case, I recommend you check out
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/news/tags/dns-domenebeslag/&quot;&gt;the blog
+posts from NUUG covering the case&lt;/a&gt;.  They cover the legal arguments
+on both sides.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Thu, 12 Jan 2017 09:40:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I dag fikk jeg en skikkelig gladmelding.  Bakgrunnen er at før jul
+arrangerte Nasjonalbiblioteket
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nb.no/Bibliotekutvikling/Kunnskapsorganisering/Nasjonalt-verksregister/Seminar-om-verksregister&quot;&gt;et
+seminar om sitt knakende gode tiltak «verksregister»&lt;/a&gt;.  Eneste
+måten å melde seg på dette seminaret var å sende personopplysninger
+til Google via Google Skjemaer.  Dette syntes jeg var tvilsom praksis,
+da det bør være mulig å delta på seminarer arrangert av det offentlige
+uten å måtte dele sine interesser, posisjon og andre
+personopplysninger med Google.  Jeg ba derfor om innsyn via
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mimesbronn.no/&quot;&gt;Mimes brønn&lt;/a&gt; i
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mimesbronn.no/request/personopplysninger_til_google_sk&quot;&gt;avtaler
+og vurderinger Nasjonalbiblioteket hadde rundt dette&lt;/a&gt;.
+Personopplysningsloven legger klare rammer for hva som må være på
+plass før en kan be tredjeparter, spesielt i utlandet, behandle
+personopplysninger på sine vegne, så det burde eksistere grundig
+dokumentasjon før noe slikt kan bli lovlig.  To jurister hos
+Nasjonalbiblioteket mente først dette var helt i orden, og at Googles
+standardavtale kunne brukes som databehandlingsavtale.  Det syntes jeg
+var merkelig, men har ikke hatt kapasitet til å følge opp saken før
+for to dager siden.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Gladnyheten i dag, som kom etter at jeg tipset Nasjonalbiblioteket
+om at Datatilsynet underkjente Googles standardavtaler som
+databehandleravtaler i 2011, er at Nasjonalbiblioteket har bestemt seg
+for å avslutte bruken av Googles Skjemaer/Apps og gå i dialog med DIFI
+for å finne bedre måter å håndtere påmeldinger i tråd med
+personopplysningsloven.  Det er fantastisk å se at av og til hjelper
+det å spørre hva i alle dager det offentlige holder på med.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2017 06:50:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg leste med interesse en nyhetssak hos
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digi.no/artikler/nav-avslorer-trygdemisbruk-ved-a-spore-ip-adresser/367394&quot;&gt;digi.no&lt;/a&gt;
+og
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nrk.no/buskerud/trygdesvindlere-avslores-av-utenlandske-ip-adresser-1.13313461&quot;&gt;NRK&lt;/a&gt;
+om at det ikke bare er meg, men at også NAV bedriver geolokalisering
+av IP-adresser, og at det gjøres analyse av IP-adressene til de som
+sendes inn meldekort for å se om meldekortet sendes inn fra
+utenlandske IP-adresser.  Politiadvokat i Drammen, Hans Lyder Haare,
+er sitert i NRK på at «De to er jo blant annet avslørt av
+IP-adresser. At man ser at meldekortet kommer fra utlandet.»&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg synes det er fint at det blir bedre kjent at IP-adresser
+knyttes til enkeltpersoner og at innsamlet informasjon brukes til å
+stedsbestemme personer også av aktører her i Norge.  Jeg ser det som
+nok et argument for å bruke
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.torproject.org/&quot;&gt;Tor&lt;/a&gt; så mye som mulig for å
+gjøre gjøre IP-lokalisering vanskeligere, slik at en kan beskytte sin
+privatsfære og unngå å dele sin fysiske plassering med
+uvedkommede.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;P&gt;Men det er en ting som bekymrer meg rundt denne nyheten.  Jeg ble
+tipset (takk #nuug) om
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nav.no/no/NAV+og+samfunn/Kontakt+NAV/Teknisk+brukerstotte/Snarveier/personvernerkl%C3%A6ring-for-arbeids-og-velferdsetaten&quot;&gt;NAVs

-&lt;br&gt;&gt; Hei, beklager lang svartid, men det tok litt tid å finne ut hvem som
-&lt;br&gt;&gt; kunne svare på dette.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Takk for svar.  Men det besvarte ikke helt det jeg spurte om.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&gt; For selskaper som leverer h.264 til sluttbrukere på nett (f.eks NRKs
-&lt;br&gt;&gt; nett- tv utgaver som bruker h.264) - og som leverer slike tjenester

-
-&lt;p&gt;Spørsmålet er ikke kun om MPEG LA krever patentavtale eller ikke
-(hvilket ikke helt besvares av pressemeldingen omtalt over, gitt at
-pressemeldingen kom i 2010, to år før MPEG LA ansvarlige for
-internasjonal lisensiering egen Ryan Rodriguez fortalte meg på epost
-at NRK trenger en lisens.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er uklart fra pressemeldingen hva &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC
-Video&quot; konkret betyr, men i følge en
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/avcweb.pdf&quot;&gt;presentasjon
-fra MPEG LA med tema &quot;AVC PAtent Portfoli License Briefing&quot; datert
-2015-05-15&lt;/a&gt; gjelder &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC Video&quot; kun kringkasting
-på Internet som ikke tilbyr valg av enkeltinnslag (&quot;not
-title-by-title&quot;), hvilket jo NRK gjør på sine nettsider.  I tillegg
-kringkaster jo NRK H.264-video også utenom Internet (RiksTV, kabel,
-satelitt), hvilket helt klart ikke er dekket av vilkårene omtalt i
-pressemeldingen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Spørsmålet mitt er hvordan NRK kan bruke verktøy med bruksvilkår
-som krever avtale med MPEG LA for det NRK bruker dem til, når NRK ikke
-har avtale med MPEG LA.  Hvis jeg forsto spørsmålet riktig, så mener
-NRK at dere ikke trenger avtale med MPEG LA, men uten slik avtale kan
-dere vel ikke bruke hverken Apple Final Cut Studio, Adobe Premiere
-Pro, Avid eller Apples Final Cut Pro X for å redigere video før
-sending?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Mine konkrete spørsmål var altså:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;«Når du besøker nav.no, etterlater du deg elektroniske spor. Sporene
+dannes fordi din nettleser automatisk sender en rekke opplysninger til
+NAVs tjener (server-maskin) hver gang du ber om å få vist en side. Det
+er eksempelvis opplysninger om hvilken nettleser og -versjon du
+bruker, og din internettadresse (ip-adresse). For hver side som vises,
+lagres følgende opplysninger:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;ul&gt;
 
 &lt;ul&gt;

-
-&lt;li&gt;Hvis NRK har vurdert om det er behov for en patentavtale med MPEG LA
-   slik det er krav om i programvarelisensene til blant annet Apple
-   Final Cut Studio, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid og Apples Final Cut Pro X,
-   hva var utfallet av en slik vurdering? Kan jeg få kopi av vurderingen
-   hvis den er gjort skriftlig?&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Hvis NRK ikke har vurdert dette, har NRK planer om å vurdere behovet
-   for patentavtale?&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Hva slags saksnummer fikk min henvendelse i NRKs offentlige
-   postjournal?  Jeg ser at postjournalen ikke er publisert for den
-   aktuelle perioden ennå, så jeg fikk ikke sjekket selv.&lt;/li&gt;
-
+&lt;li&gt;hvilken side du ser på&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;dato og tid&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;hvilken nettleser du bruker&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;din ip-adresse&lt;/li&gt;

 &lt;/ul&gt;
 &lt;/ul&gt;

-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det hjelper å ha funnet rette vedkommende i NRK, for denne gangen
-fikk jeg svar tilbake dagen etter (2015-06-10), fra Geir Børdalen i
-NRK:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Hei Petter Reinholdtsen&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg har sjekket saken med distribusjonssjef for tv, Arild Hellgren
-(som var teknologidirektør da bakkenettet ble satt opp). NRK v/
-Hellgren hadde møte med MPEG LA sammen med den europeiske
-kringkastingsunionen EBU før bakkenettet for TV ble satt opp
-(igangsatt høsten 2007). I dette møtet ble det avklart at NRK/EBU ikke
-trengte noen patentavtale for h.264 i forbindelse med oppsett av
-bakkenettet eller bruk av MPEG4 h.264 som kompresjonsalgoritme fordi
-tjenesten «in full»(nor: helt) var betalt av utsendelseselskapene og
-ikke av forbrukerne.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nrk.no/oppdrag/digitalt-bakkenett-1.3214555&quot;&gt;http://www.nrk.no/oppdrag/digitalt-bakkenett-1.3214555&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er også klart slått fast at selskaper som leverer video basert
-på MPEG4 h.264 til sluttbrukere på nett, heller ikke påkrevd noen
-patentavtale – så lenge de leverer slike tjenester uten betaling fra
-sluttbrukere.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20100825006629/en/MPEG-LA%E2%80%99s-AVC-License-Charge-Royalties-Internet#.VWb2ws_774Y&quot;&gt;http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20100825006629/en/MPEG-LA%E2%80%99s-AVC-License-Charge-Royalties-Internet#.VWb2ws_774Y&lt;/a&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;“MPEG LA announced today that its AVC Patent Portfolio License will
-continue not to charge royalties for Internet Video that is free to
-end users (known as “Internet Broadcast AVC Video”) during the entire
-life of this License. MPEG LA previously announced it would not charge
-royalties for such video through December 31, 2015 (see
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf&quot;&gt;http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf&lt;/a&gt;),
-and today’s announcement makes clear that royalties will continue not
-to be charged for such video beyond that time. Products and services
-other than Internet Broadcast AVC Video continue to be
-royalty-bearing.”&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Vi har derfor ikke noe behov for å vurdere noen patentavtale med
-MPEG LA.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Understreker for øvrig at NRK ikke er låst til MPEG4 – h.264 som
-utsendelsesformat – og at vi har brukt og bruker flere andre
-alternativer i våre tjenester. Ulike «devicer» har ofte behov for
-forskjellige løsninger – og NRK har forsøkt å levere med best mulig
-kvalitet /økonomi /stabilitet avhengig av
-plattform. Produksjonsformater i NRK spenner for øvrig over en rekke
-forskjellige formater – hvor MPEG4 bare er en av disse. Når NRK kjøper
-teknisk utstyr er betaling for kodekstøtte ofte en del av
-anskaffelsesprisen for denne maskinvaren (enten dette er spesialiserte
-enkodere eller forskjellige typer produksjonsutstyr).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Vennlig hilsen
-&lt;br&gt;Geir Børdalen&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;Et godt og grundig svar, som var informativt om hvordan NRK tenker
-rundt patentavtale med MPEG LA, men heller ikke helt besvarte det jeg
-lurte på, så jeg sendte epostoppfølging samme dag.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;[Geir Børdalen]
-&lt;br&gt;&gt; Hei Petter Reinholdtsen&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hei, og takk for raskt svar.  Er min henvendelse journalført slik
-at den dukker opp i NRKs postjournal?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Svaret ditt var meget nyttig, og jeg forstår ut fra det du skriver
-at avklaringen med MPEG LA rundt H.264-distribusjon via bakkenettet
-gjelder alle TV-kanaler i Norge.  Hvilke saksnummer fikk dokumenter
-som ble opprettet i forbindelse med det omtalte møtet NRK v/Hellgren
-og EBU hadde med MPEG LA (dvs. referater, avtaler, etc),
-f.eks. dokumentet der formuleringen &quot;in full&quot; som du omtaler
-finnes?&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Men det er et par ting jeg fortsatt ikke forstår.  Det ene er
-hvorfor NRKs forståelse av hva &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC Video&quot; dekker
-ser ut til å avvike fra det som presenteres i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/avcweb.pdf&quot;&gt;lysark
-fra MPEG LA&lt;/a&gt; i mai, der MPEG LA på lysark med overskriften
-&quot;AVC/H.264 License Terms Participation Fees&quot; og undertittel &quot;Where
-remuneration is from other sources&quot; skriver &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC
-Video (not title-by-title, not subscription) – no royalty for life of
-the AVC Patent Portfolio License&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Her leser jeg MPEG LA dithen at det kun er kringkasting uten
-abonnement via Internet som er dekket at vilkårne omtalt i
-pressemeldingen, mens jeg forstår deg dithen at NRK mener NRKs
-nettsider som også har enkeltfilmer og innslag (som jeg forstår dekket
-av formuleringen &quot;title-by-title&quot;) dekkes av &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC
-Video&quot; fra MPEG LA.  Hva baserer dere denne tolkningen på?  Jeg har
-ikke sett noe skriftlig fra MPEG LA som støtter NRKs tolkning, og
-lurer på om dere har andre kilder enn den pressemeldingen fra 5 år
-tilbake, der NRKS forståelse av hva &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC Video&quot;
-dekker er beskrevet?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det andre er at eposten din ikke nevnte spørsmålet mitt om
-bruksvilkårene til videoredigeringsverktøyene som NRK bruker.  Disse
-har som tidligere nevnt krav om at de kun skal brukes til private og
-ikke-kommersielle formål med mindre en har avtale med MPEG LA, og uten
-avtale med MPEG LA kan det jo virke som om NRK bruker verktøyene i
-strid med bruksvilkårene.  Hva gjør at disse bruksvilkårene ikke
-gjelder for NRK?&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Noen minutter senere får jeg foreløpig siste svar i
-føljetongen:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Hei igjen&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Vårt dokumentarkiv har fått en kopi (journalføringsnr kan jeg
-dessverre ikke gi deg).&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&gt; Svaret ditt var meget nyttig, og jeg forstår ut fra det du
-&lt;br&gt;&gt; skriver at avklaringen med MPEG LA rundt H.264-distribusjon via
-&lt;br&gt;&gt; bakkenettet gjelder alle TV-kanaler i Norge.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Svar: Kan ikke svare for andre enn for NRK/EBU - og for bakkenettet
-i Norge er det kun NRK som er et lisensbasert selskap. Kan ikke gi noe
-svar på saksnr på dokumenter eller ytterligere informasjon da jeg selv
-ikke var del i dette.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&gt; Men det er et par ting jeg fortsatt ikke forstår.  ...&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Svar: Kan ikke gå ytterligere inn i dette fra min side og mitt
-fagfelt som er produksjon/publisering og systemstrukturene bak
-disse. For øvrig ligger det etter vår formening ingen begrensninger
-for NRK i mulighetene til publisering mht til kodek i
-produksjonssystemer. Som tidligere skrevet mener vi at NRK ikke
-trenger noen avtale med MPEG LA og støtter oss til det vi allerede har
-kommunisert i forrige epost.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Mvh
-&lt;br&gt;Geir Børdalen&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det syntes vanskelig å komme videre når NRK ikke ønsker å gå inn i
-problemstillingen rundt bruksvilkårene til videoredigeringsverktøyene
-NRK bruker, så jeg sendte takk for svarene og avsluttet utvekslingen
-så langt:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Tusen takk for rask respons, og oppklarende forklaring om hvordan
-NRK tenker rundt MPEG LA.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg vil høre med NRK-arkivet for å se om de kan spore opp de
-omtalte dokumentene.  Jeg setter pris på om du kan dele titler, dato
-eller annen informasjon som kan gjøre det enklere for arkivet å finne
-dem.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Når det gjelder hvordan bruksvilkårene til
-videoredigeringsverktøyene skal tolkes, så skal jeg høre med MPEG LA
-og produsentene av verktøyene for å forsøke å få klarhet i hva de
-mener er rikgig rettstilstand.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg ble litt klokere, men fortsatt er det uklart for meg hva som er
-grunnlaget til NRK for å se bort fra bruksvilkår i
-videoredigeringsprogramvare som krever MPEG LA-avtale til alt annet
-enn privat og ikke-kommersiell bruk.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Noen finner det vanskelig å tro at Stortinget faktisk har vedtatt å
-kreve at alle norske borgerne må avgi fingeravtrykk til politiet for å
-fungere i samfunnet.  Jeg er blitt spurt hva som er grunnlaget for
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Norwegian_citizens_now_required_by_law_to_give_their_fingerprint_to_the_police.html&quot;&gt;min
-påstand i forrige bloggpost&lt;/a&gt; om at det nå blir krav om å avgi
-fingeravtrykk til politiet for å fungere som borger i Norge.  De som
-spør klarer ikke lese det ut fra det som er vedtatt.  Her er en liten
-oppsummering om hva jeg baserer det på.  Det sies ikke direkte i
-hverken proposisjon, innstilling eller vedtak, men fremgår når en ser
-på indirekte formuleringer.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dokumenter/prop.-66-l-2014-2015/id2399703/&quot;&gt;stortingsproposisjon
-66&lt;/a&gt;, avsnitt 6.3.5 (Avgivelse av biometriske personopplysninger)
-står det&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-
-  &lt;p&gt;Departementet foreslår at både ansiktsfoto og fingeravtrykk skal
-  kunne opptas og lagres som identifikasjonsdata i de nasjonale
-  ID-kortene, på samme måte som i passene. Lovforslaget er derfor
-  utformet i tråd med passloven § 6 annet ledd, som fastslår at det
-  til bruk for senere verifisering eller kontroll av passinnehaverens
-  identitet kan innhentes og lagres i passet biometrisk
-  personinformasjon i form av ansiktsfoto og fingeravtrykk (to
-  fingre). Dagens ordning med lagring av ansiktsfoto og fingeravtrykk
-  i et kontaktløst smartkort i passet er basert på internasjonale
-  standarder. Fingeravtrykkene i nasjonalt ID-kort vil bli beskyttet
-  på samme måte som fingeravtrykkene i passene.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-  &lt;p&gt;[...]&lt;/p&gt;
-
-  &lt;p&gt;For norske forhold understreker departementet at innføring av
-  nasjonale ID-kort sammen med innføring av nye systemer for sikrere
-  utstedelse og kontroll av pass og relaterte dokumenter gir mulighet
-  til å utforme ordningen slik at den best mulig møter utfordringene
-  forbundet med identitetskriminalitet. Det tilsier at fingeravtrykk
-  opptas og lagres i alle nasjonale ID-kort.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Departementet sier altså at sin anbefaling er at fingeravtrykk skal
-opptas og lagres i alle nasjonale ID-kort.  Det skrives som om det
-blir valgfritt, på samme måten som det skrives passloven, der det i
-loven sier at det kan
-«&lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1997-06-19-82#§6&quot;&gt;innhentes
-og lagres i passet biometrisk personinformasjon i form av ansiktsfoto
-og fingeravtrykk (to fingre)&lt;/a&gt;».  Men på tross av bruken av «kan» i
-passloven er det innført krav om å avgi fingeravtrykk for å få et pass
-i Norge.  Proposisjonen sier i tillegg i del 1 (Proposisjonens
-hovedinnhold) at ID-kortene skal være like pålitelig som pass og ha
-samme sikkerhetsnivå som pass.  Departementet foreslår altså at
-ID-kortene skal gis etter samme regler som for pass.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Formuleringene fra hovedinnholdet i proposisjonen er videreført i
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Publikasjoner/Innstillinger/Stortinget/2014-2015/inns-201415-243/?lvl=0&quot;&gt;innstillingen
-fra stortingskomiteen&lt;/a&gt;, der det konkret står «De foreslåtte reglene
-vil gi befolkningen tilbud om et offentlig utstedt identitetsbevis som
-vil være like pålitelig som passet, og mer praktisk å bruke som
-legitimasjon» og «Det nasjonale ID-kortet skal også holde samme
-sikkerhetsnivå som passet».  Komiteen har altså ingen kommentarer
-eller innsigelser til dette forslaget, og gjorde i debatten da saken
-ble vedtatt det klart at dette var en god sak og at en enstemmig
-komité var glad for resultatet.  Stortinget har dermed stilt seg helt
-og fullt bak departementets forslag.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For meg er det åpenbart når en leser proposisjonen at «like
-pålitelig» og «samme sikkerhetsnivå» vil bli tolket av departementet
-som «med samme biometrisk informasjon som i passene», og departementet
-forklarer i tillegg i proposisjonen at de har tenkt at
-fingeravtrykkene «vil bli beskyttet på samme måte som fingeravtrykkene
-i passene».  Jeg ser det dermed som åpenbart at den samme
-tvangsinnhentingen av fingeravtrykk som gjelder for pass vil bli
-viderført til de nasjonale ID-kortene.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det eneste som kan endre dette er massive protester fra
-befolkningen på at folk som ikke er mistenkt for noe kriminelt skal
-tvinges til å gi fingeravtrykket til politiet for å f.eks. kunne få
-bankkonto eller stemme ved valg.  Det kunne få departementet til å
-snu.  Det tror jeg ikke vil skje.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Norwegian_citizens_now_required_by_law_to_give_their_fingerprint_to_the_police.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Norwegian_citizens_now_required_by_law_to_give_their_fingerprint_to_the_police.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2015 16:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;5 days ago, the Norwegian Parliament decided, unanimously, that all
-citizens of Norway, no matter if they are suspected of something
-criminal or not, are
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.holderdeord.no/votes/1430838871e&quot;&gt;required to
-give fingerprints to the police&lt;/a&gt; (vote details from Holder de
-ord).  The law make it sound like it will be optional, but in a few
-years there will be no option any more.  The ID will be required to
-vote, to get a bank account, a bank card, to change address on the
-post office, to receive an electronic ID or to get a drivers license
-and many other tasks required to function in Norway.  The banks plan
-to stop providing their own ID on the bank cards when this new
-national ID is introduced, and the national road authorities plan to
-change the drivers license to no longer be usable as identity cards.
-In effect, to function as a citizen in Norway a national ID card will
-be required, and to get it one need to provide the fingerprints to
-the police.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In addition to handing the fingerprint to the police (which
-promised to not make a copy of the fingerprint image at that point in
-time, but say nothing about doing it later), a picture of the
-fingerprint will be stored on the RFID chip, along with a picture of
-the face and other information about the person.  Some of the
-information will be encrypted, but the encryption will be the same
-system as currently used in the passports.  The codes to decrypt will
-be available to a lot of government offices and their suppliers around
-the globe, but for those that do not know anyone in those circles it
-is good to know that
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2006/nov/17/news.homeaffairs&quot;&gt;the
-encryption is already broken&lt;/a&gt;.  And they
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.networkworld.com/article/2215057/wireless/bad-guys-could-read-rfid-passports-at-217-feet--maybe-a-lot-more.html&quot;&gt;can
-be read from 70 meters away&lt;/a&gt;.  This can be mitigated a bit by
-keeping it in a Faraday cage (metal box or metal wire container), but
-one will be required to take it out of there often enough to expose
-ones private and personal information to a lot of people that have no
-business getting access to that information.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The new Norwegian national IDs are a vehicle for identity theft,
-and I feel sorry for us all having politicians accepting such invasion
-of privacy without any objections.  So are the Norwegian passports,
-but it has been possible to function in Norway without those so far.
-That option is going away with the passing of the new law.  In this, I
-envy the Germans, because for them it is optional how much biometric
-information is stored in their national ID.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;And if forced collection of fingerprints was not bad enough, the
-information collected in the national ID card register can be handed
-over to foreign intelligence services and police authorities, &quot;when
-extradition is not considered disproportionate&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2015-05-12: For those unable to believe that the Parliament
-really could make such decision, I wrote
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Blir_det_virkelig_krav_om_fingeravtrykk_i_nasjonale_ID_kort_.html&quot;&gt;a
-summary of the sources I have&lt;/a&gt; for concluding the way I do
-(Norwegian Only, as the sources are all in Norwegian).&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg klarer ikke helt å se hvordan analyse av de besøkendes
+IP-adresser for å se hvem som sender inn meldekort via web fra en
+IP-adresse i utlandet kan gjøres uten å komme i strid med påstanden om
+at «ingen av opplysningene vil bli brukt til å identifisere
+enkeltpersoner».  Det virker dermed for meg som at NAV bryter sine
+egen personvernerklæring, hvilket
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Er_lover_brutt_n_r_personvernpolicy_ikke_stemmer_med_praksis_.html&quot;&gt;Datatilsynet
+fortalte meg i starten av desember antagelig er brudd på
+personopplysningsloven&lt;/a&gt;.
+
+&lt;p&gt;I tillegg er personvernerklæringen ganske misvisende i og med at
+NAVs nettsider ikke bare forsyner NAV med personopplysninger, men i
+tillegg ber brukernes nettleser kontakte fem andre nettjenere
+(script.hotjar.com, static.hotjar.com, vars.hotjar.com,
+www.google-analytics.com og www.googletagmanager.com), slik at
+personopplysninger blir gjort tilgjengelig for selskapene Hotjar og
+Google , og alle som kan lytte på trafikken på veien (som FRA, GCHQ og
+NSA).  Jeg klarer heller ikke se hvordan slikt spredning av
+personopplysninger kan være i tråd med kravene i
+personopplysningloven, eller i tråd med NAVs personvernerklæring.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Kanskje NAV bør ta en nøye titt på sin personvernerklæring?  Eller
+kanskje Datatilsynet bør gjøre det?&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Many years ago, a friend of mine calculated how much it would cost
-to store the sound of all phone calls in Norway, and came up with the
-cost of around 20 million NOK (2.4 mill EUR) for all the calls in a
-year.  I got curious and wondered what the same calculation would look
-like today.  To do so one need an idea of how much data storage is
-needed for each minute of sound, how many minutes all the calls in
-Norway sums up to, and the cost of data storage.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The 2005 numbers are from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digi.no/analyser/2005/10/04/vi-prater-stadig-mindre-i-roret&quot;&gt;digi.no&lt;/a&gt;,
-the 2012 numbers are from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nkom.no/aktuelt/nyheter/fortsatt-vekst-i-det-norske-ekommarkedet&quot;&gt;a
-NKOM report&lt;/a&gt;, and I got the 2013 numbers after asking NKOM via
-email.  I was told the numbers for 2014 will be presented May 20th,
-and decided not to wait for those, as I doubt they will be very
-different from the numbers from 2013.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The amount of data storage per minute sound depend on the wanted
-quality, and for phone calls it is generally believed that 8 Kbit/s is
-enough.  See for example a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice/voice-quality/7934-bwidth-consume.html#topic1&quot;&gt;summary
-on voice quality from Cisco&lt;/a&gt; for some alternatives.  8 Kbit/s is 60
-Kbytes/min, and this can be multiplied with the number of call minutes
-to get the storage requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Storage prices varies a lot, depending on speed, backup strategies,
-availability requirements etc.  But a simple way to calculate can be
-to use the price of a TiB-disk (around 1000 NOK / 120 EUR) and double
-it to take space, power and redundancy into account.  It could be much
-higher with high speed and good redundancy requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But back to the question, What would it cost to store all phone
-calls in Norway?  Not much.  Here is a small table showing the
-estimated cost, which is within the budget constraint of most medium
-and large organisations:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Year&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Call minutes&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Size&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Price in NOK / EUR&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2005&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;24 000 000 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1.3 PiB&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;3 mill / 358 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2012&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;18 000 000 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;1.0 PiB&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;2.2 mill / 262 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2013&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;17 000 000 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;950 TiB&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;2.1 mill / 250 000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;/table&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is the cost of buying the storage.  Maintenance need to be
-taken into account too, but calculating that is left as an exercise
-for the reader.  But it is obvious to me from those numbers that
-recording the sound of all phone calls in Norway is not going to be
-stopped because it is too expensive.  I wonder if someone already is
-collecting the data?&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Did you ever wonder where the web trafic really flow to reach the
+web servers, and who own the network equipment it is flowing through?
+It is possible to get a glimpse of this from using traceroute, but it
+is hard to find all the details.  Many years ago, I wrote a system to
+map the Norwegian Internet (trying to figure out if our plans for a
+network game service would get low enough latency, and who we needed
+to talk to about setting up game servers close to the users.  Back
+then I used traceroute output from many locations (I asked my friends
+to run a script and send me their traceroute output) to create the
+graph and the map.  The output from traceroute typically look like
+this:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+traceroute to www.stortinget.no (85.88.67.10), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
+ 1  uio-gw10.uio.no (129.240.202.1)  0.447 ms  0.486 ms  0.621 ms
+ 2  uio-gw8.uio.no (129.240.24.229)  0.467 ms  0.578 ms  0.675 ms
+ 3  oslo-gw1.uninett.no (128.39.65.17)  0.385 ms  0.373 ms  0.358 ms
+ 4  te3-1-2.br1.fn3.as2116.net (193.156.90.3)  1.174 ms  1.172 ms  1.153 ms
+ 5  he16-1-1.cr1.san110.as2116.net (195.0.244.234)  2.627 ms he16-1-1.cr2.oslosda310.as2116.net (195.0.244.48)  3.172 ms he16-1-1.cr1.san110.as2116.net (195.0.244.234)  2.857 ms
+ 6  ae1.ar8.oslosda310.as2116.net (195.0.242.39)  0.662 ms  0.637 ms ae0.ar8.oslosda310.as2116.net (195.0.242.23)  0.622 ms
+ 7  89.191.10.146 (89.191.10.146)  0.931 ms  0.917 ms  0.955 ms
+ 8  * * *
+ 9  * * *
+[...]
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This show the DNS names and IP addresses of (at least some of the)
+network equipment involved in getting the data traffic from me to the
+www.stortinget.no server, and how long it took in milliseconds for a
+package to reach the equipment and return to me.  Three packages are
+sent, and some times the packages do not follow the same path.  This
+is shown for hop 5, where three different IP addresses replied to the
+traceroute request.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There are many ways to measure trace routes.  Other good traceroute
+implementations I use are traceroute (using ICMP packages) mtr (can do
+both ICMP, UDP and TCP) and scapy (python library with ICMP, UDP, TCP
+traceroute and a lot of other capabilities).  All of them are easily
+available in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This time around, I wanted to know the geographic location of
+different route points, to visualize how visiting a web page spread
+information about the visit to a lot of servers around the globe.  The
+background is that a web site today often will ask the browser to get
+from many servers the parts (for example HTML, JSON, fonts,
+JavaScript, CSS, video) required to display the content.  This will
+leak information about the visit to those controlling these servers
+and anyone able to peek at the data traffic passing by (like your ISP,
+the ISPs backbone provider, FRA, GCHQ, NSA and others).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Lets pick an example, the Norwegian parliament web site
+www.stortinget.no.  It is read daily by all members of parliament and
+their staff, as well as political journalists, activits and many other
+citizens of Norway.  A visit to the www.stortinget.no web site will
+ask your browser to contact 8 other servers: ajax.googleapis.com,
+insights.hotjar.com, script.hotjar.com, static.hotjar.com,
+stats.g.doubleclick.net, www.google-analytics.com,
+www.googletagmanager.com and www.netigate.se.  I extracted this by
+asking &lt;a href=&quot;http://phantomjs.org/&quot;&gt;PhantomJS&lt;/a&gt; to visit the
+Stortinget web page and tell me all the URLs PhantomJS downloaded to
+render the page (in HAR format using
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/blob/master/examples/netsniff.js&quot;&gt;their
+netsniff example&lt;/a&gt;.  I am very grateful to Gorm for showing me how
+to do this).  My goal is to visualize network traces to all IP
+addresses behind these DNS names, do show where visitors personal
+information is spread when visiting the page.&lt;/p&gt;

+
+&lt;p&gt;When I had a look around for options, I could not find any good
+free software tools to do this, and decided I needed my own traceroute
+wrapper outputting KML based on locations looked up using GeoIP.  KML
+is easy to work with and easy to generate, and understood by several
+of the GIS tools I have available.  I got good help from by NUUG
+colleague Anders Einar with this, and the result can be seen in
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/kmltraceroute&quot;&gt;my
+kmltraceroute git repository&lt;/a&gt;.  Unfortunately, the quality of the
+free GeoIP databases I could find (and the for-pay databases my
+friends had access to) is not up to the task.  The IP addresses of
+central Internet infrastructure would typically be placed near the
+controlling companies main office, and not where the router is really
+located, as you can see from &lt;a href=&quot;www.stortinget.no-geoip.kml&quot;&gt;the
+KML file I created&lt;/a&gt; using the GeoLite City dataset from MaxMind.

+&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-scapy.svg&quot;&gt;&lt;img

+
+&lt;p&gt;I also had a look at the visual traceroute graph created by
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/&quot;&gt;the scrapy project&lt;/a&gt;,
+showing IP network ownership (aka AS owner) for the IP address in
+question.
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-scapy.svg&quot;&gt;The
+graph display a lot of useful information about the traceroute in SVG
+format&lt;/a&gt;, and give a good indication on who control the network
+equipment involved, but it do not include geolocation.  This graph
+make it possible to see the information is made available at least for
+UNINETT, Catchcom, Stortinget, Nordunet, Google, Amazon, Telia, Level
+3 Communications and NetDNA.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://geotraceroute.com/index.php?node=4&amp;host=www.stortinget.no&quot;&gt;&lt;img
+src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-geotraceroute-small.png&quot; alt=&quot;example geotraceroute view for www.stortinget.no&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In the process, I came across the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://geotraceroute.com/&quot;&gt;web service GeoTraceroute&lt;/a&gt; by
+Salim Gasmi.  Its methology of combining guesses based on DNS names,
+various location databases and finally use latecy times to rule out
+candidate locations seemed to do a very good job of guessing correct
+geolocation.  But it could only do one trace at the time, did not have
+a sensor in Norway and did not make the geolocations easily available
+for postprocessing.  So I contacted the developer and asked if he
+would be willing to share the code (he refused until he had time to
+clean it up), but he was interested in providing the geolocations in a
+machine readable format, and willing to set up a sensor in Norway.  So
+since yesterday, it is possible to run traces from Norway in this
+service thanks to a sensor node set up by
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the NUUG assosiation&lt;/a&gt;, and get the
+trace in KML format for further processing.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-geotraceroute-kml-join.kml&quot;&gt;&lt;img
+src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2017-01-09-www.stortinget.no-geotraceroute-kml-join.png&quot; alt=&quot;map of combined traces for URLs used by www.stortinget.no using geotraceroute&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Here we can see a lot of trafic passes Sweden on its way to
+Denmark, Germany, Holland and Ireland.  Plenty of places where the
+Snowden confirmations verified the traffic is read by various actors
+without your best interest as their top priority.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Combining KML files is trivial using a text editor, so I could loop
+over all the hosts behind the urls imported by www.stortinget.no and
+ask for the KML file from GeoTraceroute, and create a combined KML
+file with all the traces (unfortunately only one of the IP addresses
+behind the DNS name is traced this time.  To get them all, one would
+have to request traces using IP number instead of DNS names from
+GeoTraceroute).  That might be the next step in this project.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Armed with these tools, I find it a lot easier to figure out where
+the IP traffic moves and who control the boxes involved in moving it.
+And every time the link crosses for example the Swedish border, we can
+be sure Swedish Signal Intelligence (FRA) is listening, as GCHQ do in
+Britain and NSA in USA and cables around the globe.  (Hm, what should
+we tell them? :) Keep that in mind if you ever send anything
+unencrypted over the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;PS: KML files are drawn using
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://ivanrublev.me/kml/&quot;&gt;the KML viewer from Ivan
+Rublev&lt;a/&gt;, as it was less cluttered than the local Linux application
+Marble.  There are heaps of other options too.&lt;/p&gt;
