-               <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 now 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;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_would_it_cost_to_store_all_phone_calls_in_Norway_.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/What_would_it_cost_to_store_all_phone_calls_in_Norway_.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Fri, 1 May 2015 19:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <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;

+               <title>Idea for storing trusted timestamps in a Noark 5 archive</title>
+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Idea_for_storing_trusted_timestamps_in_a_Noark_5_archive.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Idea_for_storing_trusted_timestamps_in_a_Noark_5_archive.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Wed, 7 Jun 2017 21:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a copy of
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/nikita-noark/2017-June/000297.html&quot;&gt;an
+email I posted to the nikita-noark mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.  Please follow up
+there if you would like to discuss this topic.  The background is that
+we are making a free software archive system based on the Norwegian
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.arkivverket.no/forvaltning-og-utvikling/regelverk-og-standarder/noark-standarden&quot;&gt;Noark
+5 standard&lt;/a&gt; for government archives.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been wondering a bit lately how trusted timestamps could be
+stored in Noark 5.
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_timestamping&quot;&gt;Trusted
+timestamps&lt;/a&gt; can be used to verify that some information
+(document/file/checksum/metadata) have not been changed since a
+specific time in the past.  This is useful to verify the integrity of
+the documents in the archive.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Then it occured to me, perhaps the trusted timestamps could be
+stored as dokument variants (ie dokumentobjekt referered to from
+dokumentbeskrivelse) with the filename set to the hash it is
+stamping?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Given a &quot;dokumentbeskrivelse&quot; with an associated &quot;dokumentobjekt&quot;,
+a new dokumentobjekt is associated with &quot;dokumentbeskrivelse&quot; with the
+same attributes as the stamped dokumentobjekt except these
+attributes:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-    Installations done via PXE now also install firmware automatically
-    for the hardware present.
-
-=== Fixed bugs ===
-
-A number of bugs have been fixed in this release; the most noticeable
-from a user perspective:
-
- * Inserting incorrect DNS information in Gosa will no longer break
-   DNS completely, but instead stop DNS updates until the incorrect
-   information is corrected (710362)
+&lt;ul&gt;

 
 

- * shutdown-at-night now shuts the system down if gdm3 is used (775608). 
+&lt;li&gt;format -&gt; &quot;RFC3161&quot;
+&lt;li&gt;mimeType -&gt; &quot;application/timestamp-reply&quot;
+&lt;li&gt;formatDetaljer -&gt; &quot;&amp;lt;source URL for timestamp service&amp;gt;&quot;
+&lt;li&gt;filenavn -&gt; &quot;&amp;lt;sjekksum&amp;gt;.tsr&quot;

 
 

-=== Sugar desktop removed ===
+&lt;/ul&gt;

 
 

-As the Sugar desktop was removed from Debian Jessie, it is also not
-available in Debian Edu jessie.
+&lt;p&gt;This assume a service following
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3161&quot;&gt;IETF RFC 3161&lt;/a&gt; is
+used, which specifiy the given MIME type for replies and the .tsr file
+ending for the content of such trusted timestamp.  As far as I can
+tell from the Noark 5 specifications, it is OK to have several
+variants/renderings of a dokument attached to a given
+dokumentbeskrivelse objekt.  It might be stretching it a bit to make
+some of these variants represent crypto-signatures useful for
+verifying the document integrity instead of representing the dokument
+itself.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Using the source of the service in formatDetaljer allow several
+timestamping services to be used.  This is useful to spread the risk
+of key compromise over several organisations.  It would only be a
+problem to trust the timestamps if all of the organisations are
+compromised.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The following oneliner on Linux can be used to generate the tsr
+file.  $input is the path to the file to checksum, and $sha256 is the
+SHA-256 checksum of the file (ie the &quot;&lt;sjekksum&gt;.tsr&quot; value mentioned
+above).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+openssl ts -query -data &quot;$inputfile&quot; -cert -sha256 -no_nonce \
+  | curl -s -H &quot;Content-Type: application/timestamp-query&quot; \
+      --data-binary &quot;@-&quot; http://zeitstempel.dfn.de &gt; $sha256.tsr
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To verify the timestamp, you first need to download the public key
+of the trusted timestamp service, for example using this command:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+wget -O ca-cert.txt \
+  https://pki.pca.dfn.de/global-services-ca/pub/cacert/chain.txt
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Note, the public key should be stored alongside the timestamps in
+the archive to make sure it is also available 100 years from now.  It
+is probably a good idea to standardise how and were to store such
+public keys, to make it easier to find for those trying to verify
+documents 100 or 1000 years from now. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The verification itself is a simple openssl command:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+openssl ts -verify -data $inputfile -in $sha256.tsr \
+  -CAfile ca-cert.txt -text
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Is there any reason this approach would not work?  Is it somehow against
+the Noark 5 specification?&lt;/p&gt;

-== About Debian Edu / Skolelinux ==
+&lt;p&gt;Dette oversetter Apertium slik:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based on
-Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
-configured school network. Directly 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 more than 60 educational software
-packages and more are available from the Debian archive, and schools
-can choose between KDE, GNOME, LXDE, Xfce and MATE desktop
-environment.
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Drøft utfordringane knytte til nasjonalstatane sine og rolla til
+andre aktørar og høve til å handtera internasjonale utfordringar, som

-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Shirish_Agarwal.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;It was a surprise to me to learn that project to create a complete
-computer system for schools I&#39;ve involved in,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, was
-being used in India.  But apparently it is, and I managed to get an
-interview with one of the friends of the project there, Shirish
-Agarwal.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My name is Shirish Agarwal. Based out of the educational and
-historical city of Pune, from the western state of Maharashtra, India.
-My bread comes from giving training, giving policy tips,
-installations on free software to mom and pop shops in different
-fields from Desktop publishing to retail shops as well as work with
-few software start-ups as well.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
-project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;It started innocently enough. I have been using Debian for a few
-years and in one local minidebconf / debutsav I was asked if there was
-anything for schools or education. I had worked / played with free
-educational softwares such as Gcompris and Stellarium for my many
-nieces and nephews so researched and found Debian Edu or Skolelinux as
-it was known then.  Since then I have started using the various
-education meta-packages provided by the project.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s closest I have seen where a package full of educational
-software are packed, which are free and open (both literally and
-figuratively).  Even if I take the simplest software which is
-gcompris, the number of activities therein are amazing. Another one of
-the softwares that I have liked for a long time is stellarium. Even
-pysycache is cool except for couple of issues I encountered
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/781841&quot;&gt;#781841&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/781842&quot;&gt;#781842&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I prefer software installed on the system over web based solutions,
-as a web site can disappear any time but the software on disk has the
-possibility of a larger life span.  Of course with both it&#39;s more a
-question if it has enough users who make it fun or sustainable or both
-for the developer per-se.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I do see that the Debian Edu team seems to be short-handed and I
-think more efforts should be made to make it popular and ask and take
-help from people and the larger community wherever possible.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I don&#39;t see any disadvantage to use Skolelinux apart from the fact
-that most apps. are generic which is good or bad how you see it.
-However, saying that I do acknowledge the fact that the canvas is
-pretty big and there are lot of interesting ideas that could be done
-but for reasons not known not done or if done I don&#39;t know about them.
-Let me share some of the ideas (these are more upstream based but
-still) I have had for a long time :&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;1. Classical maths question of two trains in opposing directions
-each running @x kmph/mph at y distance, when they will meet and how
-far would each travel and similar questions like these.
-
-&lt;p&gt;The computer is a fantastic system where questions like these can
-be drawn, animated and the methodology and answers teased out in
-interactive manner. While sites such as the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/faq.two.trains.html&quot;&gt;Ask
-Dr. Math FAQ on The Two Trains problem&lt;/a&gt; (as an example or point of
-inspiration) can be used there is lot more that can be done.  I dunno
-if there is a free software which does something like this.  The idea
-being a blend of objects + animation + interaction which does
-this. The whole interaction could be gamified with points or sounds or
-colourful celebration whenever the user gets even part of the question
-or/and methodology right. That would help reinforce good behaviour.
-This understanding could be used to share/showcase everything from how
-the first wheel came to be, to evolution to how astronomy started,
-psychics and everything in-between.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;One specific idea in the train part was having the Linux mascot on
-one train and the BSD or GNU mascot on the other train and they
-meeting somewhere in-between. Characters from blender movies could
-also be used.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;2. Loads of crossword-puzzles with reference to subjects: We have
-enormous data sets in Wikipedia and Wikitionary.  I don&#39;t think it
-should be a big job to design crossword puzzles. Using categories and
-sub-categories it should be doable to have Q&amp;A single word answers
-from the existing data-sets. What would make it easy or hard could be
-the length of the word + existence of many or few vowels depending on
-the user&#39;s input.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;3. Jigsaw puzzles - We already have a great software called
-palapeli with number of slicers making it pretty interesting. What
-needs to be done is to download large number of public domain and
-copyleft images, tease and use IPTC tags to categorise them into
-nature, history etc.  and let it loose. This could turn to be really
-huge collection of images. One source could be taken from
-commons.wikimedia.org, others could be huge collection of royalty-free
-stock photos. Potential is immense.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Apart from this, free software suffers in two directions, we lag
-both in development (of using new features per-se) and maintenance a
-lot.  This is more so in educational software as these applications
-need to be timely and the opportunity cost of missing deadlines is
-immense. If we are able to solve issues of funding for development and
-maintenance of such software I don&#39;t see any big difficulties. I know
-of few start-ups in and around India who would love to develop and
-maintain such software if funding issues could be solved.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;That would be huge list. Some of the softwares are obviously apt,
-aptitude, debdelta, leafpad, the shell of course (zsh nowadays),
-quassel for IRC. In games I use shisen-sho while card-games are evenly
-between kpat and Aiselriot.  In desktops it&#39;s a tie between
-gnome-flashback and mate.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I think it should first start with using specific FOSS apps. in
-whatever environment they are. If it&#39;s MS-Windows or Mac so be it.
-Once they are habitual with the apps. and there is buy-in from the
-school management then it could be installed anywhere. Most of the
-people now understand the concept of a repository because of the
-various online stores so it isn&#39;t hard to convince on that front.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;What is harder is having enough people with technical skills and
-passion to service them. If you get buy-in from one or two teachers
-then ideas like above could also be asked to be done as a project as
-well.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I think where we fall short more than anything is in marketing. For
-instance, Debian has this whole range of fonts in its archive but
-there isn&#39;t even a page where all those different fonts in the La
-Ipsum format could be tried out for newcomers.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;One of the issues faced constantly in installations is with updates
-and upgrades.  People have this myth that each update and upgrade
-means the user interface will / has to change. I have seen this
-innumerable times.  That perhaps is one of the reasons which browsers
-like Iceweasel / Firefox change user interfaces so much, not because
-it might be needed or be functional but because people believe that
-changed user interfaces are better. This, can easily be pointed with
-the user interfaces changed with almost every MS-Windows and Mac OS
-releases.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The problems with Debian Edu for deployment are many. The biggest
-is the huge gap between what is taught in schools and what Debian Edu
-is aimed at.
-
-&lt;p&gt;Me and my friends did teach on week-ends in a government school for
-around 2 years, and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2012/10/08/sharings/&quot;&gt;gathered
-some experience&lt;/a&gt; there.  Some of the things we learnt/discovered
-there was :&lt;/p&gt;

+               <title>Epost inn som arkivformat i Riksarkivarens forskrift?</title>
+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Epost_inn_som_arkivformat_i_Riksarkivarens_forskrift_.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Epost_inn_som_arkivformat_i_Riksarkivarens_forskrift_.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Thu, 27 Apr 2017 11:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I disse dager, med frist 1. mai, har Riksarkivaren ute en høring på
+sin forskrift.  Som en kan se er det ikke mye tid igjen før fristen
+som går ut på søndag.  Denne forskriften er det som lister opp hvilke
+formater det er greit å arkivere i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arkivverket.no/arkivverket/Offentleg-forvalting/Noark/Noark-5&quot;&gt;Noark
+5-løsninger&lt;/a&gt; i Norge.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg fant høringsdokumentene hos
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.arkivrad.no/aktuelt/riksarkivarens-forskrift-pa-horing&quot;&gt;Norsk
+Arkivråd&lt;/a&gt; etter å ha blitt tipset på epostlisten til
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/hiOA-ABI/nikita-noark5-core&quot;&gt;fri
+programvareprosjektet Nikita Noark5-Core&lt;/a&gt;, som lager et Noark 5
+Tjenestegresesnitt.  Jeg er involvert i Nikita-prosjektet og takket
+være min interesse for tjenestegrensesnittsprosjektet har jeg lest en
+god del Noark 5-relaterte dokumenter, og til min overraskelse oppdaget
+at standard epost ikke er på listen over godkjente formater som kan
+arkiveres.  Høringen med frist søndag er en glimrende mulighet til å
+forsøke å gjøre noe med det.  Jeg holder på med
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/blob/master/docs/hoering-arkivforskrift.tex&quot;&gt;egen
+høringsuttalelse&lt;/a&gt;, og lurer på om andre er interessert i å støtte
+forslaget om å tillate arkivering av epost som epost i arkivet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Er du igang med å skrive egen høringsuttalelse allerede?  I så fall
+kan du jo vurdere å ta med en formulering om epost-lagring. Jeg tror
+ikke det trengs så mye.  Her et kort forslag til tekst:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;Viser til høring sendt ut 2017-02-17 (Riksarkivarens referanse
+  2016/9840 HELHJO), og tillater oss å sende inn noen innspill om
+  revisjon av Forskrift om utfyllende tekniske og arkivfaglige
+  bestemmelser om behandling av offentlige arkiver (Riksarkivarens
+  forskrift).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;Svært mye av vår kommuikasjon foregår i dag på e-post.  Vi
+  foreslår derfor at Internett-e-post, slik det er beskrevet i IETF
+  RFC 5322,
+  &lt;a href=&quot;https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322&quot;&gt;https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322&lt;/a&gt;. bør
+  inn som godkjent dokumentformat.  Vi foreslår at forskriftens
+  oversikt over godkjente dokumentformater ved innlevering i § 5-16
+  endres til å ta med Internett-e-post.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Som del av arbeidet med tjenestegrensesnitt har vi testet hvordan
+epost kan lagres i en Noark 5-struktur, og holder på å skrive et
+forslag om hvordan dette kan gjøres som vil bli sendt over til
+arkivverket så snart det er ferdig.  De som er interesserte kan
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/blob/master/docs/epostlagring.md&quot;&gt;følge
+fremdriften på web&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Oppdatering 2017-04-28: I dag ble høringuttalelsen jeg skrev
+  &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/news/NUUGs_h_ringuttalelse_til_Riksarkivarens_forskrift.shtml&quot;&gt;sendt
+  inn av foreningen NUUG&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Thu, 20 Apr 2017 13:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg oppdaget i dag at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.oep.no/&quot;&gt;nettstedet som
+publiserer offentlige postjournaler fra statlige etater&lt;/a&gt;, OEP, har
+begynt å blokkerer enkelte typer webklienter fra å få tilgang.  Vet
+ikke hvor mange det gjelder, men det gjelder i hvert fall libwww-perl
+og curl.  For å teste selv, kjør følgende:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-  &lt;li&gt;Most of the teachers are very territorial about their subjects
-   and they do not want you to teach anything out of the
-   portion/syllabus given.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;They want any activity on the system in accordance to whatever
-   is in the syllabus.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;There are huge barriers both with the English language and at
-   times with objects or whatever. An example, let&#39;s say in gcompris
-   you have objects falling down and you have to name them and let&#39;s
-   say the falling object is a hat or a fedora hat, this would not be
-   as recognizable as say a
-   &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puneri_Pagadi&quot;&gt;Puneri
-   Pagdi&lt;/a&gt; so there is need to inject local objects, words wherever
-   possible. Especially for word-games there are so many hindi words
-   which have become part of english vocabulary (for instance in
-   parley), those could be made into a hinglish collection or
-   something but that is something for upstream to do.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% curl -v -s https://www.oep.no/pub/report.xhtml?reportId=3 2&gt;&amp;1 |grep &#39;&lt; HTTP&#39;
+&lt; HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
+% curl -v -s --header &#39;User-Agent:Opera/12.0&#39; https://www.oep.no/pub/report.xhtml?reportId=3 2&gt;&amp;1 |grep &#39;&lt; HTTP&#39;
+&lt; HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 
 

-&lt;/ol&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Her kan en se at tjenesten gir «404 Not Found» for curl i
+standardoppsettet, mens den gir «200 OK» hvis curl hevder å være Opera
+versjon 12.0.  Offentlig elektronisk postjournal startet blokkeringen
+2017-03-02.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Blokkeringen vil gjøre det litt vanskeligere å maskinelt hente
+informasjon fra oep.no.  Kan blokkeringen være gjort for å hindre
+automatisert innsamling av informasjon fra OEP, slik Pressens
+Offentlighetsutvalg gjorde for å dokumentere hvordan departementene
+hindrer innsyn i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://presse.no/dette-mener-np/undergraver-offentlighetsloven/&quot;&gt;rapporten
+«Slik hindrer departementer innsyn» som ble publiserte i januar
+2017&lt;/a&gt;.  Det virker usannsynlig, da det jo er trivielt å bytte
+User-Agent til noe nytt.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finnes det juridisk grunnlag for det offentlige å diskriminere
+webklienter slik det gjøres her?  Der tilgang gis eller ikke alt etter
+hva klienten sier at den heter?  Da OEP eies av DIFI og driftes av
+Basefarm, finnes det kanskje noen dokumenter sendt mellom disse to
+aktørene man kan be om innsyn i for å forstå hva som har skjedd.  Men
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.oep.no/search/result.html?period=dateRange&amp;fromDate=01.01.2016&amp;toDate=01.04.2017&amp;dateType=documentDate&amp;caseDescription=&amp;descType=both&amp;caseNumber=&amp;documentNumber=&amp;sender=basefarm&amp;senderType=both&amp;documentType=all&amp;legalAuthority=&amp;archiveCode=&amp;list2=196&amp;searchType=advanced&amp;Search=Search+in+records&quot;&gt;postjournalen
+til DIFI viser kun to dokumenter&lt;/a&gt; det siste året mellom DIFI og
+Basefarm.
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mimesbronn.no/request/blokkering_av_tilgang_til_oep_fo&quot;&gt;Mimes brønn neste&lt;/a&gt;,
+tenker jeg.&lt;/p&gt;

-Conference Nordic 2015&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;It take place Friday 8th to Sunday 10th of May in Oslo next to
-where I work, and I finally got around to submitting
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://act.osdc.no/osdc2015no/talk/6192&quot;&gt;a talk proposal for

-conference for a while now, with a focus on organising a Civic Hacking
-Hackathon with our friends
-over at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysociety.org/&quot;&gt;mySociety&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.holderdeord.no/&quot;&gt;Holder de ord&lt;/a&gt;.  This part is
-named the &#39;My Society&#39; track in the program.  There is still space for

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/hiOA-ABI/nikita-noark5-core&quot;&gt;Nikita
+Noark 5 core project&lt;/a&gt; is implementing the Norwegian standard for
+keeping an electronic archive of government documents.
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.arkivverket.no/arkivverket/Offentlig-forvaltning/Noark/Noark-5/English-version&quot;&gt;The
+Noark 5 standard&lt;/a&gt; document the requirement for data systems used by
+the archives in the Norwegian government, and the Noark 5 web interface
+specification document a REST web service for storing, searching and
+retrieving documents and metadata in such archive.  I&#39;ve been involved
+in the project since a few weeks before Christmas, when the Norwegian
+Unix User Group
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/news/NOARK5_kjerne_som_fri_programvare_f_r_epostliste_hos_NUUG.shtml&quot;&gt;announced
+it supported the project&lt;/a&gt;.  I believe this is an important project,
+and hope it can make it possible for the government archives in the
+future to use free software to keep the archives we citizens depend
+on.  But as I do not hold such archive myself, personally my first use
+case is to store and analyse public mail journal metadata published
+from the government.  I find it useful to have a clear use case in
+mind when developing, to make sure the system scratches one of my
+itches.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you would like to help make sure there is a free software
+alternatives for the archives, please join our IRC channel
+(&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23nikita&quot;&quot;&gt;#nikita on
+irc.freenode.net&lt;/a&gt;) and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/nikita-noark&quot;&gt;the
+project mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When I got involved, the web service could store metadata about
+documents.  But a few weeks ago, a new milestone was reached when it
+became possible to store full text documents too.  Yesterday, I
+completed an implementation of a command line tool
+&lt;tt&gt;archive-pdf&lt;/tt&gt; to upload a PDF file to the archive using this
+API.  The tool is very simple at the moment, and find existing
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonds&quot;&gt;fonds&lt;/a&gt;, series and
+files while asking the user to select which one to use if more than
+one exist.  Once a file is identified, the PDF is associated with the
+file and uploaded, using the title extracted from the PDF itself.  The
+process is fairly similar to visiting the archive, opening a cabinet,
+locating a file and storing a piece of paper in the archive.  Here is
+a test run directly after populating the database with test data using
+our API tester:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+~/src//noark5-tester$ ./archive-pdf mangelmelding/mangler.pdf
+using arkiv: Title of the test fonds created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+using arkivdel: Title of the test series created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+
+ 0 - Title of the test case file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+ 1 - Title of the test file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+Select which mappe you want (or search term): 0
+Uploading mangelmelding/mangler.pdf
+  PDF title: Mangler i spesifikasjonsdokumentet for NOARK 5 Tjenestegrensesnitt
+  File 2017/1: Title of the test case file created 2017-03-18T23:49:32.103446
+~/src//noark5-tester$
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;You can see here how the fonds (arkiv) and serie (arkivdel) only had
+one option, while the user need to choose which file (mappe) to use
+among the two created by the API tester.  The &lt;tt&gt;archive-pdf&lt;/tt&gt;
+tool can be found in the git repository for the API tester.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In the project, I have been mostly working on
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester&quot;&gt;the API
+tester&lt;/a&gt; so far, while getting to know the code base.  The API
+tester currently use
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS&quot;&gt;the HATEOAS links&lt;/a&gt;
+to traverse the entire exposed service API and verify that the exposed
+operations and objects match the specification, as well as trying to
+create objects holding metadata and uploading a simple XML file to
+store.  The tester has proved very useful for finding flaws in our
+implementation, as well as flaws in the reference site and the
+specification.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The test document I uploaded is a summary of all the specification
+defects we have collected so far while implementing the web service.
+There are several unclear and conflicting parts of the specification,
+and we have
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/tree/master/mangelmelding&quot;&gt;started
+writing down&lt;/a&gt; the questions we get from implementing it.  We use a
+format inspired by how &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opengroup.org/austin/&quot;&gt;The
+Austin Group&lt;/a&gt; collect defect reports for the POSIX standard with
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opengroup.org/austin/mantis.html&quot;&gt;their
+instructions for the MANTIS defect tracker system&lt;/a&gt;, in lack of an official way to structure defect reports for Noark 5 (our first submitted defect report was a &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/noark5-tester/blob/master/mangelmelding/sendt/2017-03-15-mangel-prosess.md&quot;&gt;request for a procedure for submitting defect reports&lt;/a&gt; :).
+
+&lt;p&gt;The Nikita project is implemented using Java and Spring, and is
+fairly easy to get up and running using Docker containers for those
+that want to test the current code base.  The API tester is
+implemented in Python.&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;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;Norwegian Unix User Group&lt;/a&gt;,
-where I am a member, and where people interested in free software,
-open standards and UNIX like operating systems like Linux and the BSDs
-come together, record our monthly technical presentations on video.
-The purpose is to document the talks and spread them to a wider
-audience.  For this, the the Norwegian nationwide open channel
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt; is a useful venue.
-Since a few days ago, when I figured out the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/api/&quot;&gt;REST API&lt;/a&gt; to program the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/guide/&quot;&gt;channel time schedule&lt;/a&gt;,
-the channel has been filled with NUUG talks, related recordings and
-some Creative Commons licensed TED talks (from archive.org).  I fill
-all &quot;leftover bits&quot; on the channel with content from NUUG, which at
-the moment is almost 17 of 24 hours every day.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The list of NUUG videos
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/organization/82&quot;&gt;uploaded so far&lt;/a&gt;
-include things like a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/625090&quot;&gt;one hour talk by John
-Perry Barlow when he visited Oslo&lt;/a&gt;, a presentation of
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/624275&quot;&gt;Haiku, the BeOS
-re-implementation&lt;/a&gt;, the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/624493&quot;&gt;history of FiksGataMi,
-the Norwegian version of FixMyStreet&lt;/a&gt;, the good old
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/623566&quot;&gt;Warriors of the net
-video&lt;/A&gt; and many others.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;We have a large backlog of NUUG talks not yet uploaded to
-Frikanalen, and plan to upload every useful bit to the channel to
-spread the word there.  I also hope to find useful recordings from the
-Chaos Computer Club and Debian conferences and spread them on the
-channel as well.  But this require locating the videos and their meta
-information (title, description, license, etc), and preparing the
-recordings for broadcast, and I have not yet had the spare time to
-focus on this.  Perhaps you want to help.  Please join us on IRC,
-&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23nuug&quot;&gt;#nuug on irc.freenode.net&lt;/a&gt;
-if you want to help make this happen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But as I said, already the channel is already almost exclusively
-filled with technical topics, and if you want to learn something new
-today, check out the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.tv/se&quot;&gt;Ogg Theora
-web stream&lt;/a&gt; or use one of the other ways to get access to the
-channel.  Unfortunately the Ogg Theora recoding for distribution still
-do not properly sync the video and sound.  It is generated by recoding
-a internal MPEG transport stream with MPEG4 coded video (ie H.264) to
-Ogg Theora / Vorbis, and we have not been able to find a way that
-produces acceptable quality.  Help needed, please get in touch if you
-know how to fix it using free software.&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;

-&lt;a href=&quot;https://citizenfourfilm.com/&quot;&gt;Citizenfour&lt;/a&gt; by
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Poitras&quot;&gt;Laura Poitras&lt;/a&gt;
-finally will show up in Norway.  According to the magazine
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://montages.no/&quot;&gt;Montages&lt;/a&gt;, a deal has finally been
-made for
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://montages.no/nyheter/snowden-dokumentaren-citizenfour-far-norsk-kinodistribusjon/&quot;&gt;Cinema
-distribution in Norway&lt;/a&gt; and the movie will have its premiere soon.
-This is great news.  As part of my involvement with
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the Norwegian Unix User Group&lt;/a&gt;, me and
-a friend have
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/news/Dokumentar_om_Snowdenbekreftelsene_til_Norge_.shtml&quot;&gt;tried
-to get the movie to Norway&lt;/a&gt; ourselves, but obviously
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/news/Dokumentar_om_Snowdenbekreftelsene_endelig_til_Norge_.shtml&quot;&gt;we
-were too late&lt;/a&gt; and Tor Fosse beat us to it.  I am happy he did, as
-the movie will make its way to the public and we do not have to make
-it happen ourselves.
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiGwAvd5mvM&quot;&gt;The trailer&lt;/a&gt;
-can be seen on youtube, if you are curious what kind of film this
-is.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The whistle blower Edward Snowden really deserve political asylum
-here in Norway, but I am afraid he would not be safe.&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;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The Norwegian nationwide open channel
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt; is still going
-strong.  It allow everyone to send the video they want on national
-television.  It is a TV station administrated completely using a web
-browser, running only &lt;ahref=&quot;https://github.com/Frikanalen&quot;&gt;Free
-Software&lt;/a&gt;, providing &lt;ahref=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/api&quot;&gt;a REST
-api&lt;/a&gt; for administrators and members, and with distribution on the
-national DVB-T distribution network RiksTV.  But only between 12:00
-and 17:30 Norwegian time.  This has finally changed, after many years
-with limited distribution.  A few weeks ago, we set up a Ogg Theora
-stream via icecast to allow everyone with Internet access to check out
-the channel the rest of the day.  This is presented on
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.tv/se&quot;&gt;the Frikanalen web site now&lt;/a&gt;.  And
-since a few days ago, the channel is also available
-via &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.uninett.no/iptv-tilgang&quot;&gt;multicast on
-UNINETT&lt;/a&gt;, available for those using IPTV TVs and set-top boxes in
-the Norwegian National Research and Education network.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to see what is on the channel, point your media player
-to one of these sources.  The first should work with most players and
-browsers, while as far as I know, the multicast UDP stream only work
-with VLC.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Unlimited_randomness_with_the_ChaosKey_.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Unlimited_randomness_with_the_ChaosKey_.html</guid>
+                <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;ul&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://video.nuug.no/frikanalen.ogv&quot;&gt;http://video.nuug.no/frikanalen.ogv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;udp://@224.17.43.129:1234&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&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

+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;The Ogg Theora / icecast stream is not working well, as the video
-and audio is slightly out of sync.  We have not been able to figure
-out how to fix it.  It is generated by recoding a internal MPEG
-transport stream with MPEG4 coded video (ie H.264) to Ogg Theora /
-Vorbis, and the result is less then stellar.  If you have ideas how to
-fix it, please let us know on frikanalen (at) nuug.no.  We currently
-use this with ffmpeg2theora 0.29:&lt;/p&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;
 
 &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;

-./ffmpeg2theora.linux &amp;lt;OBE_gemini_URL.ts&amp;gt; -F 25 -x 720 -y 405 \
- --deinterlace --inputfps 25 -c 1 -H 48000 --keyint 8 --buf-delay 100 \
- --nosync -V 700 -o - | oggfwd video.nuug.no 8000 &amp;lt;pw&amp;gt; /frikanalen.ogv
+% 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; \

+1035
+1038
+%

 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
 
 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;If you get the multicast UDP stream working, please let me know, as
-I am curious how far the multicast stream reach.  It do not make it to
-my home network, nor any other commercially available network in
-Norway that I am aware of.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Quite the difference. :) I bought a few more than I need, in case
+someone want to buy one here in Norway. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update: The dongle was presented at Debconf last year.  You might
+find &lt;a href=&quot;https://debconf16.debconf.org/talks/94/&quot;&gt;the talk
+recording illuminating&lt;/a&gt;.  It explains exactly what the source of
+randomness is, if you are unable to spot it from the schema drawing
+available from the ChaosKey web site linked at the start of this blog
+post.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <title>En enklere Osloskolehverdag med automatisk sjekk av Fronter</title>
-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/En_enklere_Osloskolehverdag_med_automatisk_sjekk_av_Fronter.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/En_enklere_Osloskolehverdag_med_automatisk_sjekk_av_Fronter.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2015 10:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;En stund nå har jeg vært nødt til å forholde meg til
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://fronter.com/osloskoler/&quot;&gt;Fronter&lt;/a&gt;, en nettløsning
-Osloskolen bruker for kontakt mellom hjem og skole.  Løsningen
-imponerer ikke, og det er lagt opp til at vi foreldre skal logge inn
-regelmessig for å se om noe har endret seg.  Idéen om å la folk stikke
-innom nettsider for å se om det har skjedd endringer er så idiotisk at
-jeg har lett etter et alternativ.  Fronterløsningen har en innebygget
-løsning der en kan abonnere på forsiden (som viser en oppsummering av
-det en har tilgang til), og få tilsendt en kopi hver natt, men det
-fjerner jo bare behovet for å stikke innom, ikke den idiotiske ideen
-om at folk skal huske hvordan nettsiden så ut sist og oppdage hva som
-er endret.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For å gjøre livet enklere har jeg derfor brukt litt tid på å lage
-et program som kobler seg opp og sjekker etter endringer automatisk,
-slik at jeg kan få beskjed fra datamaskinen når noe endrer seg i
-stedet for å forsøke å finne ut av det selv.  I går ble scriptet
-brukbart, og jeg er dermed klar til å dele det med deg.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg startet med å skrive programmet i Python, og hadde en versjon
-som logget inn og hentet ned enkeltsider fra Fronter.  Men
-Fronter-websidene suger golfballer gjennom en hageslange, med
-uleselig HTML, flere nivåer av iframes og en struktur på innholdet som
-er svært vanskelig å finne ut av, så jeg ga til slutt opp lxml-parsing
-med Python og forsøkte meg med WWW::Mechanize for Perl som jeg kjente
-fra før.  I ettertid har jeg oppdaget at WWW:Mechanize også finnes for
-Python, så jeg kunne antagelig droppet språkbyttet.  Men da jeg
-oppdaget det hadde jeg kommet så langt med Perl-utgaven, så jeg hoppet
-ikke tilbake.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For å logge inn i Fronter besøker en enten skolens websider eller
-den sentrale innloggingsiden &lt;tt&gt;https://fronter.com/osloskoler/&lt;/tt&gt;.
-Perl-koden for å logge inn ser slik ut:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-my $mech = WWW::Mechanize-&gt;new();
-$mech-&gt;get(&#39;https://fronter.com/osloskoler/&#39;);
-$mech-&gt;submit_form(fields =&gt; {
-    username =&gt; $username,
-    password =&gt; $password,
-} );
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Neste steg er å få oversikt over hvilke «rom» en har tilgang til.
-På vår skole er det rom for skolen, biblioteket, elevrådet,
-aktivitetsskolen og klasser der en har unger, og dette vil være
-forskjellig fra person til person.  Etter å ha romstert rundt i
-Fronter-grensesnittet endel kom jeg over en grei HTML-side med
-oversikt over rommene,
-&lt;tt&gt;https://fronter.com/osloskoler/adm/projects.phtml?mode=displayRoomchooser&lt;/tt&gt;,
-så jeg bruker denne til å hente ut romoversikt med rom-ID.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-my %room;
-$mech-&gt;get(&#39;https://fronter.com/osloskoler/adm/projects.phtml?mode=displayRoomchooser&#39;);
-for my $link ($mech-&gt;links()) {
-    my $url = $link-&gt;url();
-    if ($url =~ m%/links/list_files.phtml\?edit=(\d+)$%) {
-        $room{$link-&gt;text()} = $1;
-    }
-}
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Når en har rom-ID kan en slå opp websiden for rommet, som starter
-på
-&lt;tt&gt;https://fronter.com/osloskoler/contentframeset.phtml?goto_prjid=$ROMID&lt;/tt&gt;
-(der $ROMID byttes ut med rom-ID-tallet).  Det gir en side med
-iframes, og en må tre nivåer ned i iframes før en får tak i
-HTML-informasjonen som vises frem når en ser på det aktuelle rommet.
-Her ga jeg opp den robuste parsingen og hardkodet endel URL-er som i
-stedet bør spores opp maskinelt.  HTML-informasjonen som vises lagres
-i en fil etter at økt- og innloggings-nøkkel er fjernet og deretter
-bruker jeg &lt;tt&gt;lynx --dump --nolist&lt;/tt&gt; for å hente ut en tekstlig
-utgave av websiden.  Denne tekstlige utgaven sammenlignes med forrige
-versjon og oversikt over endringer kan så sendes ut på egnet vis.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg valgte å bruke git til å holde rede på endringer, så jeg
-sjekker inn HTML og tekst-utgaver i git og bruker git til å vise frem
-endringene i tekstutgavene.  Programvaren for å gjøre dette er testet
-på Debian GNU/Linux og kan
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/fronter-scraper-oslo&quot;&gt;lastes
-ned fra github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For å bruke dette selv, kjør følgende kommandoer på din
-Debian-maskin (forutsetter sudo-tilgang for installasjon av
-programvare):&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-sudo apt-get install git lynx-cur libio-prompter-perl libwww-mechanize-perl \
-      libconfig-inifiles-perl
-git clone https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/fronter-scraper-oslo
-cd fronter-scraper-oslo
-./update-git
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det gjenstår endel, men systemet er allerede nyttig for meg.  Jeg
-ønsker at systemet også skal laste ned PDF-er og slikt som er lagt ut
-for nedlasting på sidene, slik at f.eks. ukeplaner kommer inn i
-git-arkivet mitt automatisk og jeg får automatisk beskjed når ny
-ukeplan er lagt ut.  Kanskje du kan bidra med å få det på plass, eller
-kanskje du har andre ting du vil fikse?  Jeg tar gjerne imot endringer
-og forbedringer.  Det er mye som kan gjøres bedre, og scriptet er ikke
-veldig robust mot endringer hos nettsidene til Fronter.  Jeg regner
-dermed med at det vil trengs oppdateringer jevnlig etter hvert som
-Fronter-løsningen endrer seg.&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;
