+ <div class="date">10th September 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>I was introduced to the
+<a href="http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/">Freedombox project</a>
+in 2010, when Eben Moglen presented his vision about serving the need
+of non-technical people to keep their personal information private and
+within the legal protection of their own homes. The idea is to give
+people back the power over their network and machines, and return
+Internet back to its intended peer-to-peer architecture. Instead of
+depending on a central service, the Freedombox will give everyone
+control over their own basic infrastructure.</p>
+
+<p>I've intended to join the effort since then, but other tasks have
+taken priority. But this summers nasty news about the misuse of trust
+and privilege exercised by the "western" intelligence gathering
+communities increased my eagerness to contribute to a point where I
+actually started working on the project a while back.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/freedombox/">initial
+Debian initiative</a> based on the vision from Eben Moglen, is to
+create a simple and cheap Debian based appliance that anyone can hook
+up in their home and get access to secure and private services and
+communication. The initial deployment platform have been the
+<a href="http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-dreamplugdetails.aspx">Dreamplug</a>,
+which is a piece of hardware I do not own. So to be able to test what
+the current Freedombox setup, I had to come up with a way to install
+it on some hardware I do got access to. I have rewritten the
+<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/freedom-maker">freedom-maker</a>
+image build framework to use .deb packages instead of only copying
+setup into the boot images, and thanks to this rewrite I am able to
+set up any machine supported by Debian Wheezy as a Freedombox, using
+the previously mentioned deb (and a few support debs for packages
+missing in Debian).</p>
+
+<p>The current Freedombox setup consist of a set of bootstrapping
+scripts
+(<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/freedombox-setup">freedombox-setup</a>),
+and a administrative web interface
+(<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/Plinth">plinth</a> + exmachina +
+withsqlite), as well as a privacy enhancing proxy based on
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/privoxy">privoxy</a>
+(freedombox-privoxy). There is also a web/javascript based XMPP
+client (<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/jwchat">jwchat</a>)
+trying (unsuccessfully so far) to talk to the XMPP server
+(<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/ejabberd">ejabberd</a>). The
+web interface is pluggable, and the goal is to use it to enable OpenID
+services, mesh network connectivity, use of TOR, etc, etc. Not much of
+this is really working yet, see
+<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/freedombox-todos/blob/master/TODO">the
+project TODO</a> for links to GIT repositories. Most of the code is
+on github at the moment. The HTTP proxy is operational out of the
+box, and the admin web interface can be used to add/remove plinth
+users. I've not been able to do anything else with it so far, but
+know there are several branches spread around github and other places
+with lots of half baked features.</p>
+
+<p>Anyway, if you want to have a look at the current stat, the
+following recipes should work to give you a test machine to poke
+at.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Debian Wheezy amd64</strong></p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Fetch normal Debian Wheezy installation ISO.</li>
+<li>Boot from it, either as CD or USB stick.</li>
+<li><p>Press [tab] on the boot prompt and add this as a boot argument
+to the Debian installer:<p>
+<pre>url=<a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat</a></pre></li>
+
+<li>Answer the few language/region/password questions and pick disk to
+install on.</li>
+
+<li>When the installation is finished and the machine have rebooted a
+few times, your Freedombox is ready for testing.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p><strong>Raspberry Pi Raspbian</strong></p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Fetch a Raspbian SD card image, create SD card.</li>
+<li>Boot from SD card, extend file system to fill the card completely.</li>
+<li><p>Log in and add this to /etc/sources.list:</p>
+<pre>
+deb <a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox</a> wheezy main
+</pre></li>
+<li><p>Run this as root:</p>
+<pre>
+wget -O - http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/BE1A583D.asc | \
+ apt-key add -
+apt-get update
+apt-get install freedombox-setup
+/usr/lib/freedombox/setup
+</pre></li>
+<li>Reboot into your freshly created Freedombox.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>You can test it on other architectures too, but because the
+freedombox-privoxy package is binary, it will only work as intended on
+the architectures where I have had time to build the binary and put it
+in my APT repository. But do not let this stop you. It is only a
+short "<tt>apt-get source -b freedombox-privoxy</tt>" away. :)</p>
+
+<p>Note that by default Freedombox is a DHCP server on the
+192.168.1.0/24 subnet, so if this is your subnet be careful and turn
+off the DHCP server by running "<tt>update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server
+disable</tt>" as root.</p>
+
+<p>Please let me know if this work for you, or if you have any
+problems. We gather on the IRC channel
+<a href="irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox">#freedombox</a> on
+irc.debian.org and the
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss">project
+mailing list</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Once you get your freedombox operational, you can visit
+<tt>http://your-host-name:8001/</tt> to see the state of the plint
+welcome screen (dead end - do not be surprised if you are unable to
+get past it), and next visit <tt>http://your-host-name:8001/help/</tt>
+to look at the rest of plinth. The default user is 'admin' and the
+default password is 'secret'.</p>

+ <div class="date"> 8th September 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>I 2011 raderte et stortingsflertall bestående av Høyre og
+Arbeiderpartiet vekk en betydelig del av privatsfæren til det norske
+folk. Det ble vedtatt at det skulle registreres og lagres i et halvt
+år hvor alle som bærer på en mobiltelefon befinner seg, hvem de
+snakker med og hvor lenge de snakket sammen. Det skal også
+registreres hvem de sendte SMS-meldinger til, hvem en har sendt epost
+til, og hvilke nett-tjenere en besøkte. Saken er kjent som
+<a href="http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet">Datalagringsdirektivet
+(DLD)</a>, og innebærer at alle innbyggerne og andre innenfor Norges
+grenser overvåkes døgnet rundt. Det ble i praksis innført brev og
+besøkskontroll av hele befolkningen. Rapporter fra de landene som
+allerede har innført slik total lagring av borgernes
+kommunikasjonsmønstre forteller at det ikke hjelper i
+kriminalitetsbekjempelsen. Den norske prislappen blir mange hundre
+millioner, uten at det ser ut til å bidra positivt til politiets
+arbeide. Jeg synes flere hundre millioner i stedet burde vært brukt
+på noe som kan dokumenteres å ha effekt i kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.
+Se mer på
+<a href="http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalagringsdirektivet">Wikipedia</a>
+og <a href="http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84">Jon Wessel-Aas</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Hva er problemet, tenkter du kanskje? Et åpenbart problem er at
+medienes kildevern i praksis blir radert ut. Den innsamlede
+informasjonen gjør det mulig å finne ut hvem som har snakket med
+journalister på telefon, SMS og epost, og hvem som har vært i nærheten
+av journalister så sant begge bar med seg en telefon. Et annet er at
+advokatvernet blir sterkt redusert, der politiet kan finne ut hvem
+som har snakket med en advokat når, eller vært i møter en med advokat.
+Et tredje er at svært personlig informasjon kan avledes fra hvilke
+nettsteder en har besøkt. Har en besøkt hivnorge.no,
+swingersnorge.com eller andre sider som kan brukes til avlede
+interesser som hører til privatsfæren, vil denne informasjonen være
+tilgjengelig takket være datalagringsdirektivet.</p>
+
+<p>De fleste partiene var mot, kun to partier stemte for. Høyre og
+Arbeiderpartiet. Og både Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet i Oslo har
+DLD-forkjempere på toppen av sine lister (har ikke sjekket de andre
+fylkene). Det er dermed helt uaktuelt for meg å stemme på disse
+partiene. Her er oversikten over partienes valglister i Oslo, med

+ <div class="date">22nd August 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>The second wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
+today, slightly delayed because of some bugs in the initial Windows
+integration fixes . This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b1 released 2013-08-22</strong></p>
+
+<p>These are the release notes for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+7.1+edu0~b1, based on Debian with codename "Wheezy".</p>
+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
+Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
+out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
+network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
+services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
+and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
+environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
+the main server from CD or USB stick all other machines can be
+installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
+database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
+directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
+desktop contains
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html">more
+than 60 educational software packages</a> and more are available from
+the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
+and Xfce desktop environment.</p>
+
+<p>This is the sixth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this
+is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze
+release.</p>
+
+<p>ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
+versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
+release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
+deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
+gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/08/msg00127.html">on
+the mailing list</a>. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and
+replace both contained admin password placeholders with the password
+hashes found in the old one (backup copy!). In both cases every user
+need to change their their password to make sure a password is set for
+CIFS access to their home directory.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Added ssh askpass packages to default installation, to ensure ssh
+ work also without a attached tty.</li>
+<li>Add the command-not-found package to the default installation to
+ make it easier to figure out where to find missing command line
+ tools. Please note, that the command 'update-command-not-found'
+ has to be run as root to actually make it useful (internet access
+ required).</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Adjusted the USB stick ISO image build to include every tool
+needed for desktop=xfce installations.</li>
+<li>Adjust thin-client-server task to work when installing from USB
+stick ISO image.</li>
+<li>Made new grub artwork (changed png from indexed to RGB format).</li>
+<li>Minor cleanup in the CUPS setup.</li>
+<li>Make sure that bootstrapping of the Samba domain really happens
+ during installation of the main server and adjust SID handling to
+ cope with this.</li>
+<li>Make Samba passwords changeable (again) via GOsa².</li>
+<li>Fix generation of LM and NT password hashes via GOsa² to avoid
+ empty password hashes.</li>
+<li>Adapted Samba machine domain joining to latest change in the
+ smbldap-tools Perl package, fixing bugs blocking Windows machines
+ from joining the Samba domain.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Known issues</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>KDE fails to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
+ not use the http proxy as it should.</li>
+<li>Chromium also fails to use the proxy when using the KDE desktop
+ (using the KDE configuration).</li>

+ <div class="date">18th August 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>Earlier, I reported about
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html">my
+problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk</a>. Friday I was
+told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away. And as
+there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
+today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
+currently on the disk.</p>
+
+<p>I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
+<a href="https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3472&DwnldID=18363&ProductFamily=Solid-State+Drives+and+Caching&ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+High+Performance+Solid-State+Drive&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+SSD+520+Series+(180GB%2c+2.5in+SATA+6Gb%2fs%2c+25nm%2c+MLC)&lang=eng">issdfut_2.0.4.iso</a>
+(aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
+according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
+disks. I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
+booted the ISO from a USB stick. The disk was recognized, but the
+program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
+to insert any Intel firmware. So no change, and the disk is still
+unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
+working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware. No idea how likely
+that is. Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness. I
+got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
+the broken disks.</p>

+ <div class="date"> 2nd August 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>It has been a while since my last update. Since last summer, I
+have worked on a Norwegian
+<a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book
+<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
+to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
+law. Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
+number of strings to translate. Due to real life constraints, I have
+not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
+I found time to work on it again. Still lots of work left, but the
+first draft is nearing completion. I created a graph to show the
+progress of the translation:</p>
+
+<p><img width="80%" align="center" src="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png"></p>
+
+<p>When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
+proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
+drawings need to be fixed. There are probably also some index entries
+missing that need to be added. This can be done by comparing the
+index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
+English docbook version with the paper version. Last, the colophon
+page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
+done. I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
+of the index pages. All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
+docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
+Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.</p>
+
+<p>There is still need for translators and people with docbook
+knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
+with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
+translation and proof reading. And I would like the figures to be
+redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them. Any SVG master
+around? There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
+If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
+project files currently available from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
+the updated
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true">PDF</a>
+and
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true">EPUB</a>
+are published on github. The HTML version is published as well, but
+github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
+saw no point in linking to that version.</p>

+ <div class="date">27th July 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>The first wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
+today. This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b0 released
+2013-07-27</strong></p>
+
+<p>These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+7.1+edu0~b0, based on Debian with codename "Wheezy".</p>
+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
+Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
+out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
+network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
+services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
+and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
+environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
+the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
+installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
+database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
+directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
+desktop contains
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html">more
+than 60 educational software packages</a> and more are available from
+the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
+and Xfce desktop environment.</p>
+
+<p>This is the fifth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
+this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
+Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p>ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
+versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
+release.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Switched roaming workstation profiles from wicd to network-manager
+ for network configuration, as wicd didn't work any more.</li>
+<li>Changed version numbers of patched gosa and libpam-mklocaluser
+ packages to make sure our locally patched versions will be replaced
+ by the official packages when they are released from Debian. Those
+ installing alpha version need to reinstall or manually downgrade gosa
+ and libpam-mklocaluser.</li>
+<li>Added bluetooth tools to the default desktop (bluedevil, blueman).</li>
+<li>Added tools for sharing the desktop on KDE (krdc, krfb).</li>
+<li>Added valgrind to the default installation for easier debugging of
+ crash bugs.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Fixed artwork package to work with gnome, no longer break
+ desktop=gnome installations.</li>
+<li>Adjusted installer to now work when forced to use a proxy with the
+ netinst CD.</li>
+<li>Fixed code detecting and setting/loading hardware specific
+ setup/firmware to work more robust out of the box.</li>
+<li>Adjusted Kerberos setup to detect realm and server settings at
+ install time instead of dynamically at run time. This avoid a crash
+ with krb5-auth-dialog on diskless workstations without a DNS name.</li>
+<li>Worked around misfeature in network-manager not calling the dhclient
+ exit hooks, causing automatic proxy configuration and automatic host
+ name setting at run time to work again.</li>
+<li>Fixed feature setting the default Iceweasel start page from URL
+ fetched from LDAP, to allow schools to set the global default by
+ updating the dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no LDAP object.</li>
+<li>Changed default host name on all networked machines to be unique
+ (generated from MAC or reverse DNS) after boot.</li>
+<li>Adjusted partition sizes to make sure they are big enough.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Known issues</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Grub is missing the new artwork.</li>
+<li>KDE fail to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
+ not use the http proxy as it should.</li>
+<li>Chromium also fail to use the proxy.</li>
