Uno IT er eit lite firma som -drifter nettverk og maskiner for små og mellomstore firma -Steinkjer-området. Per dags dato er me 2 ansatte. Min faglege bakgrunn -er Fagbrev som it-teknikker, samt nokre fag innen nettverk- og -server-drift frå HiST og NTNU. Dagleg arbeid består i oppsett av nye -maskiner og hjelp til sluttbrukere, samt oppsett og vedlikehold av eit -vidt spekter av fagsystemer ute hjå kunder. Erfaring med Skolelinux -har eg hatt i forbindelse med drifting av -<a href="http://www.bjorkly.no/">Bjørkly skule</a>, ein privat -grunnskule i Namsos-området. I dag har skulen 65 elever, 15 lærere, 1 -hovedserver og ca 60 klienter som kjører halvtjukt. Eg har bygd og -driftet systemet sidan summaren 2006.</p> - -<p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?</strong></p> - -<p>Eg kom i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet via ein artikkel i eit -fagblad, som eg ikkje lenger hugsar namnet på. I og med at eg allereie -hadde pusla med nettverk for ein annan skule, fatta eg straks -interesse for prosjektet.</p> - -<p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p> - -<p>Fordelane med Skolelinux er sentralisert administrasjon og svært -mange gode verktøy «ut av boksen». Veldig kjekt å kunne drifte 60 -klientar med berre å «bry» seg med ein server. Levetid for systemets -hardware er og ein veldig fin effekt. I tillegg kjem fordelar som økt -sikkerhet og mindre lisenskostnader. Etter min erfaring er det og -mykje mindre driftskostnader med eit slikt system enn konkurrerande -system, pga enkelhet med sentralisert administrasjon. På grunn av at -Skolelinux er basert på Debian er det òg svært stabilt.</p> - -<p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p> - -<p>Ulemper er mangel på vilje til å følge standarer ute i markedet, -som fører til mangel på støtte til nokre mykje brukte ting. Flash og -Java er typiske eksempel. Sidan Debian satsar på stabilitet framfor å -ha nyeste pakke av eit program, kan ein i nokre tilfeller kome borti -at program vert «for gamle». Det er spesielt nettlesaren som er -utsett. Mangel på vilje til å utvikle pedagogisk programvare, i Noreg, -for «alle» platformer fører òg til noko hovudbry.</p> - -<p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?</strong></p> - -<p>Til dagleg bruker eg svært mange forskjellige «fri programvare» -program. Firefox, Thunderbird, Freecommander, ImgBurn, Clonezilla, -OCS inventory, Icinga, Skolelinux, SystemRescueCD og mykje meir.</p> - -<p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få -skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?</strong></p> - -<p>Strategisk må ein fokusere på at sluttbruker eigentleg ikkje er så -fokusert på at det er fri programvare men at det skal «berre fungere». -Gjer det enkelt å bruker og ikkje minst å administrere. For Skolelinux -sin del må ein få eit betre fokus på overganger. Utbytting av servere -må gå meir automatisk, import og eksport av brukerbase og maskinbase -med meir må kunne gå enkelt og oppgradering til neste versjon må bli -mykje meir automatisk og gjennomtesta. Ein må unngå at ein må sette -opp frå start når ein byter ut ein server eller oppgraderer til neste -versjon. For å få Skolelinux til å bli eit betre alternativ for skular -må ein ha fokus på nettlesaren. Denne må bli «up to date» og støtte -dei protokollar og tillegg som vert brukt av forlag med meir. Etter -kvart som meir og meir blir flytta ut i «skya» vert dette viktigare og -viktigare. Ein kunne ynskje og jobbe for at forlag med fleire tar i -bruk opne standarer, men inntil det skjer, må systemet kunne brukast -mot desse fagsystema.</p> - -<p>For meg har prosjektet med Skolelinux vore ein svært artig og -lærerik prosess.

Normal wifi equipment +can be used to create home made radio networks, and there are several +successful examples like +<a href="http://www.freifunk.net/">Freifunk</a> and +<a href="http://www.awmn.net/">Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network</a> +(see +<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_community_networks_by_region#Greece">wikipedia +for a large list</a>) around the globe. To give you an idea how it +work, check out the nice overview of the Kiel Freifunk community which +can be seen from their +<a href="http://freifunk.in-kiel.de/ffmap/nodes.html">dynamically +updated node graph and map</a>, where one can see how the mesh nodes +automatically handle routing and recover from nodes disappearing. +There is also a small community mesh network group in Oslo, Norway, +and that is the main topic of this blog post.</p> + +<p>I've wanted to check out mesh networks for a while now, and hoped +to do it as part of my involvement with the <a +href="http://www.nuug.no/">NUUG member organisation</a> community, and +my recent involvement in +<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">the Freedombox project</a> +finally lead me to give mesh networks some priority, as I suspect a +Freedombox should use mesh networks to connect neighbours and family +when possible, given that most communication between people are +between those nearby (as shown for example by research on Facebook +communication patterns). It also allow people to communicate without +any central hub to tap into for those that want to listen in on the +private communication of citizens, which have become more and more +important over the years.</p> + +<p>So far I have only been able to find one group of people in Oslo +working on community mesh networks, over at the hack space +<a href="http://hackeriet.no/">Hackeriet</a> at Husmania. They seem to +have started with some Freifunk based effort using OLSR, called +<a href="http://oslo.freifunk.net/index.php?title=Main_Page">the Oslo +Freifunk project</a>, but that effort is now dead and the people +behind it have moved on to a batman-adv based system called +<a href="http://meshfx.org/trac">meshfx</a>. Unfortunately the wiki +site for the Oslo Freifunk project is no longer possible to update to +reflect this fact, so the old project page can't be updated to point to +the new project. A while back, the people at Hackeriet invited people +from the Freifunk community to Oslo to talk about mesh networks. I +came across this video where Hans Jørgen Lysglimt interview the +speakers about this talk (from +<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Kd7CLkhSY">youtube</a>):</p> + +<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N2Kd7CLkhSY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> + +<p>I mentioned OLSR and batman-adv, which are mesh routing protocols. +There are heaps of different protocols, and I am still struggling to +figure out which one would be "best" for some definitions of best, but +given that the community mesh group in Oslo is so small, I believe it +is best to hook up with the existing one instead of trying to create a +completely different setup, and thus I have decided to focus on +batman-adv for now. It sure help me to know that the very cool +<a href="http://www.servalproject.org/">Serval project in Australia</a> +is using batman-adv as their meshing technology when it create a self +organizing and self healing telephony system for disaster areas and +less industrialized communities. Check out this cool video presenting +that project (from +<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30qNfzJCQOA">youtube</a>):</p> + +<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/30qNfzJCQOA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> + +<p>According to the wikipedia page on +<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network">Wireless +mesh network</a> there are around 70 competing schemes for routing +packets across mesh networks, and OLSR, B.A.T.M.A.N. and +B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced are protocols used by several free software +based community mesh networks.</p> + +<p>The batman-adv protocol is a bit special, as it provide layer 2 +(as in ethernet ) routing, allowing ipv4 and ipv6 to work on the same +network. One way to think about it is that it provide a mesh based +vlan you can bridge to or handle like any other vlan connected to your +computer. The required drivers are already in the Linux kernel at +least since Debian Wheezy, and it is fairly easy to set up. A +<a href="http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide">good +introduction</a> is available from the Open Mesh project. These are +the key settings needed to join the Oslo meshfx network:</p> + +<p><table> +<tr><th>Setting</th><th>Value</th></tr> +<tr><td>Protocol / kernel module</td><td>batman-adv</td></tr> +<tr><td>ESSID</td><td>meshfx@hackeriet</td></tr> +<td>Channel / Frequency</td><td>11 / 2462</td></tr> +<td>Cell ID</td><td>02:BA:00:00:00:01</td> +</table></p> + +<p>The reason for setting ad-hoc wifi Cell ID is to work around bugs +in firmware used in wifi card and wifi drivers. (See a nice post from +VillageTelco about +"<a href="http://tiebing.blogspot.no/2009/12/ad-hoc-cell-splitting-re-post-original.html">Information +about cell-id splitting, stuck beacons, and failed IBSS merges!</a> +for details.) When these settings are activated and you have some +other mesh node nearby, your computer will be connected to the mesh +network and can communicate with any mesh node that is connected to +any of the nodes in your network of nodes. :)</p> + +<p>My initial plan was to reuse my old Linksys WRT54GL as a mesh node, +but that seem to be very hard, as I have not been able to locate a +firmware supporting batman-adv.

I mean, when I -believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier. In our household we -have decided that 07:00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to -sleep until 07:00 is a small challenge every day. They have adapted -quite well, and rarely wake up at 05:00 any more, but some times wake -up at times like 05:50, 06:15, 06:30 or 06:45, and it is hard to put -the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest. -And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until 07:00 -some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or -after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.</p> - -<p>But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem. It -involve home automation. A few years ago I bought a -<a href="http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick">Tellstick</a> and RF -switches at the local <a href="http://www.clasohlson.com/">Clas -Ohlson</a> shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical -gadgets using my Linux server. When I moved from the old flat to a -small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in -the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to -the gadgets I had. But recently I bought a -<a href="http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net">Tellstick -Net</a> to be able to read sensor input as well as control power -sockets. I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes -to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding. The default -setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service, -which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build -ones own -<a href="http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware">firmware -with local access</A> instead of being controlled by a Swedish -company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source -code. I plan to get that running before I let it control anything -important. But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for -the kids came to me yesterday. We can set up a night light controlled -by the computer, and turn it automatically on at 07:00. The kids can -then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to -get up or not. They joined me in setting everything up, and I -repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they -remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.</p> - -<p>We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until -after 07:00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the -"morning light" was turned on and signalled that the morning had -arrived. So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how -this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us -all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.</p> - -<p>A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when -to tell the kids to get up. We do not have to wait until 07:00, and -can also delay it if we want to.</p> + Finally, Debian Edu Wheezy is released today! + http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Finally__Debian_Edu_Wheezy_is_released_today_.html + http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Finally__Debian_Edu_Wheezy_is_released_today_.html + Sun, 29 Sep 2013 10:20:00 +0200 + <p>A few hours ago, the announcement for the first stable release of +Debian Edu Wheezy went out from the Debian publicity team.

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 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 look like, I had to come up with a way to install +it on some hardware I do have 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.

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.

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.

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>
