-		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am very pleased to be able to share with you
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/nikita-noark/2021-June/000576.html&quot;&gt;the
-announcement of a new version of the archiving system Nikita&lt;/a&gt;
-published by its lead developer Thomas Sødring:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;It is with great pleasure that we can announce a new release of
-nikita.  Version 0.6
-(&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core&quot;&gt;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core&lt;/a&gt;). This
-release makes new record keeping functionality available. This really
-is a maturity release. Both in terms of functionality but also code.
-Considerable effort has gone into refactoring the codebase and
-simplifying the code. Notable changes for this release include:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Significantly improved OData parsing&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Support for business specific metadata and national identifiers&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Continued implementation of domain model and endpoints&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Improved testing&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Ability to export and import from arkivstruktur.xml&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;We are currently in the process of reaching an agreement with an
-archive institution to publish their picture archive using nikita with
-business specific metadata and we hope that we can share this with you
-soon. This is an interesting project as it allows the organisation to
-bring an older picture archive back to life while using the original
-metadata values stored as business specific metadata. Combined with
-OData means the scope and use of the archive is significantly
-increased and will showcase both the flexibility and power of
-Noark.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I really think we are approaching a version 1.0 of nikita, even
-though there is still a lot of work to be done. The notable work at
-the moment is to implement access-control and full text indexing of
-documents.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed to this
-release!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;- Thomas&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Release 0.6 2021-06-10 (d1ba5fc7e8bad0cfdce45ac20354b19d10ebbc7b)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

+
+&lt;p&gt;I 1979 leverte Ole-Erik Yrvin en hovedfagsoppgave for Cand. Scient.
+  ved Institutt for sosiologi på Universitetet i Oslo på oppdrag fra
+  Forbruker- og administrasjonsdepartementet. Oppgaven evaluerte
+  Angrefristloven fra 1972, og det han oppdaget førte til at loven ble
+  endret fire år senere.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg har kjent Ole-Erik en stund, og synes det var trist at hans
+  oppgave ikke lenger er tilgjengelig, hverken fra oppdragsgiver
+  eller fra universitetet.  Hans forsøk på å få den avbildet og lagt
+  ut på Internett har vist seg fånyttes, så derfor tilbød jeg meg for
+  en stund tilbake å publisere den og gjøre den tilgjengelig med
+  fribruksvilkår på Internett.  Det er nå klart, og hovedfagsoppgaven
+  er tilgjengelig blant annet via &lt;a
+  href=&quot;http://www.hungry.com/~pere/publisher/&quot;&gt;min liste over
+  publiserte bøker&lt;/a&gt;, både som nettside,
+  &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lulu.com/search?contributor=Ole-Erik+Yrvin&quot;&gt;digital
+  bok i ePub-format og på papir fra lulu.com&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg regner med at
+  den også vil dukke opp på nettbokhandlere i løpet av en måned eller
+  to.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Alle tabeller og figurer er gjenskapt for bedre lesbarhet, noen
+  skrivefeil rettet opp og mange referanser har fått flere detaljer
+  som ISBN-nummer og DOI-referanse.  Selv om jeg ikke regner med at
+  dette blir en kioskvelter, så håper jeg denne nye utgaven kan komme
+  fremtiden til glede.&lt;/p&gt;

-		<title>VLC bittorrent plugin in Bullseye, saved by the bell?</title>

-		<guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/VLC_bittorrent_plugin_in_Bullseye__saved_by_the_bell_.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Sat, 1 May 2021 11:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
-		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday morning I got a warning call from the Debian quality
-control system that
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent&quot;&gt;the VLC
-bittorrent plugin&lt;/a&gt; was due to be removed because of a release
-critical bug in one of its dependencies.  As you might remember, this
-plugin make VLC able to stream videos directly from a bittorrent
-source using both torrent files and magnet links, similar to using a
-HTTP source.  I believe such protocol support is a vital feature in
-VLC, allowing efficient streaming from sources such at the almost 7
-million movies in &lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/&quot;&gt;the Internet
-Archive&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The dependency was the unmaintained
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libtorrent-rasterbar&quot;&gt;libtorrent-rasterbar&lt;/a&gt;
-package, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/987306&quot;&gt;the bug in
-question&lt;/a&gt; blocked its python library from working properly.  As I
-did not want Bullseye to release without bittorrent support in VLC, I
-set out to check out the status, and track down a fix for the problem.
-Luckily the issue had already been identified and fixed upstream,
-providing everything needed.  All I needed to do was to fetch the
-Debian git repository, extract and trim the patch from upstream and
-apply it to the Debian package for upload.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The fixed library was uploaded yesterday evening.  But that is not
-enough to get it into Bullseye, as Debian is currently in package
-freeze to prepare for a new next stable release.  Only non-critical
-packages with
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/autopkgtest&quot;&gt;autopkgtest
-setup&lt;/a&gt; included, in other words able to validate automatically that
-the package is working, are allowed to migrate automatically into the
-next release at this stage.  And the unmaintained libtorrent-rasterbar
-lack such testing, and thus needed a manual override.  I am happy to
-report that such manual override was approved a few minutes ago, thus
-increasing significantly the chance of VLC bittorrent streaming being
-available out of the box also for Debian/Buster users.  A bit too
-close shave for my liking, as the Bullseye release is most likely just
-a few days away, and this  did feel like the package was saved by the
-bell.  I am so glad the warning email showed up in time for me to
-handle the issue, and a big thanks go to the Debian Release team for
-the quick feedback on
-&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-release&quot;&gt;#debian-release&lt;/a&gt;
-and their &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/987865&quot;&gt;swift
-unblocking&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;Medlemmene av Norges regjering har demonstert de siste månedene at
+habilitetsvureringer ikke er deres sterke side og det gjelder både
+Arbeiderpartiets og Senterpartiers representater. Det er heldigvis
+enklere i det private, da inhabilitetsreglene kun gjelder de som
+jobber for folket, ikke seg selv.  Sist ut er utenriksminister
+Huitfeldt.  I går kom nyheten om at
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nrk.no/nyheter/riksadvokaten_-okokrim-nestsjef-kan-behandle-huitfeldt-saken-1.16545162&quot;&gt;Riksadvokaten
+har konkludert med at nestsjefen i Økokrim kan behandle sak om
+habilitet og innsidekunnskap&lt;/a&gt; for Huitfeldt, på tross av at hans
+overordnede, sjefen for Økokrim, har meldt seg inhabil i saken.  Dette
+er litt rart.  I veilednigen
+«&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.regjeringen.no/globalassets/upload/krd/vedlegg/komm/veiledere/habilitet_i_kommuner_og_fylkeskommuner.pdf&quot;&gt;Habilitet
+i kommuner og fylkeskommuner&lt;/a&gt;» av Kommunal- og regionaldepartementet
+forteller de hva som gjelder, riktig nok gjelder veiledningen ikke for
+Økokrim som jo ikke er kommune eller fylkeskommune, men jeg får ikke
+inntrykk av at dette er regler som kun gjelder for kommune og
+fylkeskommune:
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;«&lt;strong&gt;2.1 Oversikt over inhabilitetsgrunnlagene&lt;/strong&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;De alminnelige reglene om inhabilitet for den offentlige
+forvaltningen er gitt i
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1967-02-10/KAPITTEL_2#KAPITTEL_2&quot;&gt;forvaltningsloven
+§§ 6 til 10&lt;/a&gt;. Forvaltningslovens hovedregel om inhabilitet framgår
+av § 6. Her er det gitt tre ulike grunnlag som kan føre til at en
+tjenestemann eller folkevalgt blir inhabil. I § 6 første ledd
+bokstavene a til e er det oppstilt konkrete tilknytningsforhold mellom
+tjenestemannen og saken eller sakens parter som automatisk fører til
+inhabilitet. Annet ledd oppstiller en skjønnsmessig regel om at
+tjenestemannen også kan bli inhabil etter en konkret vurdering av
+inhabilitetsspørsmålet, der en lang rekke momenter kan være
+relevante. I tredje ledd er det regler om såkalt avledet
+inhabilitet. Det vil si at en underordnet tjenestemann blir inhabil
+fordi en overordnet er inhabil.»&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Loven sier ganske enkelt «Er den overordnede tjenestemann ugild,
+kan avgjørelse i saken heller ikke treffes av en direkte underordnet
+tjenestemann i samme forvaltningsorgan.»  Jeg antar tanken er at en
+underordnet vil stå i fare for å tilpasse sine konklusjoner til det
+overordnet vil ha fordel av, for å fortsatt ha et godt forhold til sin
+overordnede.  Men jeg er ikke jurist og forstår nok ikke kompliserte
+juridiske vurderinger.  For å sitere «Kamerat Napoleon» av George
+Orwell: «Alle dyr er like, men noen dyr er likere enn andre».

-		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have neglected the Valutakrambod library for a while, but decided
-this weekend to give it a face lift.  I fixed a few minor glitches in
-several of the service drivers, where the API had changed since I last
-looked at the code.  I also added support for fetching the order book
-from the newcomer Norwegian Bitcoin Exchange.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I also decided to migrate the project from github to gitlab in the
-process.  If you want a python library for talking to various currency
-exchanges, check out
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/petterreinholdtsen/valutakrambod&quot;&gt;code for
-valutakrambod&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is what the output from &#39;&lt;tt&gt;bin/btc-rates-curses -c&lt;/tt&gt;&#39;
-looked like a few minutes ago:&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;Yes, I notice the negative spread on Hitbtc.  Either I fail to
-understand their Websocket API or they are sending bogus data.  I&#39;ve
-seen the same with Kraken, and suspect there is something wrong with
-the data they send.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Invidious_add_on_for_Kodi_20.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Thu, 10 Aug 2023 19:50:00 +0200</pubDate>
+		<description>&lt;p&gt;I still enjoy &lt;a href=&quot;https://kodi.tv/&quot;&gt;Kodi&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://libreelec.tv/&quot;&gt;LibreELEC&lt;/a&gt; as my multimedia center
+at home.  Sadly two of the services I really would like to use from
+within Kodi are not easily available.  The most wanted add-on would be
+one making &lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/&quot;&gt;The Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt;
+available, and it has
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Internet_Archive&quot;&gt;not been
+working&lt;/a&gt; for many years.  The second most wanted add-on is one
+using &lt;a href=&quot;https://invidious.io/&quot;&gt;the Invidious privacy enhanced
+Youtube frontent&lt;/a&gt;.  A plugin for this has been partly working, but
+not been kept up to date in the Kodi add-on repository, and its
+upstream seem to have given it up in April this year, when the git
+repository was closed.  A few days ago I got tired of this sad state
+of affairs and decided to
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/kodi-invidious-plugin&quot;&gt;have
+a go at improving the Invidious add-on&lt;/a&gt;.  As
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3872&quot;&gt;Google has
+already attacked&lt;/a&gt; the Invidious concept, so it need all the support
+if can get.  My small contribution here is to improve the service
+status on Kodi.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I added support to the Invidious add-on for automatically picking a
+working Invidious instance, instead of requiring the user to specify
+the URL to a specific instance after installation.  I also had a look
+at the set of patches floating around in the various forks on github,
+and decided to clean up at least some of the features I liked and
+integrate them into my new release branch.  Now the plugin can handle
+channel and short video items in search results.  Earlier it could
+only handle single video instances in the search response.  I also
+brushed up the set of metadata displayed a bit, but hope I can figure
+out how to get more relevant metadata displayed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Because I only use Kodi 20 myself, I only test on version 20 and am
+only motivated to ensure version 20 is working.  Because of API changes
+between version 19 and 20, I suspect it will fail with earlier Kodi
+versions.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I already
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins/pull/4363&quot;&gt;asked to have
+the add-on added&lt;/a&gt; to the official Kodi 20 repository, and is
+waiting to heard back from the repo maintainers.&lt;/p&gt;

-		<description>&lt;p&gt;Etter intenst arbeid over mange måneder er endelig den norske
-utgaven av «Hvordan knuse overvåkningskapitalismen» av Cory Doctorow
-ferdig og klar til å glede millioner av lesere over hele verden.
-Følgende pressemelding ble nettopp sendt ut til norske redaksjoner:
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva gjør stordata med oss, og hvordan gjør algoritmene
-«fake news» til realiter?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Nå foreligger en viktig bok om temaet også på norsk. Boken klargjør
-og foreslår hvordan vi selv som enkeltpersoner, men også nasjonalt og
-internasjonalt kan bekjempe stordatakonsentrasjonene;
-«overvåkingskapitalismen».  Boken er «Hvordan knuse
-overvåkingskapitalismen» av dr. Cory Doctorow. Den engelske
-bokutgivelsen kom for noen dager siden og lanseres med et Webinar
-torsdag 2021-01-28. Doctorow besøkte Norge og NUUG i desember med sin
-presentasjon Monopoly, Not Mind Control: What&#39;s Really Happening With
-&quot;Surveillance Capitalism&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I funn etter funn, eksempel etter eksempel, gjennomgår og
-analyserer dr. Doctorow de utfordringer vi møter i større og større
-omfang. Ikke bare i USA, men også her hjemme.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Cory Doctorow er en britisk-kanadisk forfatter, journalist og
-aktivist, kjent for sine science fiction-romaner, for arbeidet for
-Creative Commons-bevegelsen, og for sine bidrag til reform av
-opphavsretten. Han er både æresdoktor og gjesteforeleser i
-datavitenskap ved Open University i UK, konsulent for Electronic
-Frontier Foundation, og godt kjent for innsiktsfullt å kommentere og
-skrive om digital utvikling.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Sun, 11 Jun 2023 08:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
+		<description>&lt;p&gt;With yesterdays
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/News/2023/20230610&quot;&gt;release of Debian
+12 Bookworm&lt;/a&gt;, I am happy to know the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opensnitch&quot;&gt;the interactive
+application firewall OpenSnitch&lt;/a&gt; is available for a wider audience.
+I have been running it for a few weeks now, and have been surprised
+about some of the programs connecting to the Internet.  Some programs
+are obviously calling out from my machine, like the NTP network based
+clock adjusting system and Tor to reach other Tor clients, but others
+were more dubious.  For example, the KDE Window manager try to look up
+the host name in DNS, for no apparent reason, but if this lookup is
+blocked the KDE desktop get periodically stuck when I use it.  Another
+surprise was how much Firefox call home directly to mozilla.com,
+mozilla.net and googleapis.com, to mention a few, when I visit other
+web pages.  This direct connection happen even if I told Firefox to
+always use a proxy, and the proxy setting is ignored for this traffic.
+Other surprising connections come from audacity and dirmngr (I do not
+use Gnome).  It took some trial and error to get a good default set of
+permissions.  Without it, I would get popups asking for permissions at
+any time, also the most inconvenient ones where I am in the middle of
+a time sensitive gaming session.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I suspect some application developers should rethink when then need
+to use network connections or DNS lookups, and recommend testing
+OpenSnitch (only &lt;tt&gt;apt install opensnitch&lt;/tt&gt; away in Debian
+Bookworm) to locate and report any surprising Internet connections on
+your desktop machine.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;At the moment the upstream developer and Debian package maintainer
+is working on making the system more reliable in Debian, by enabling
+the eBPF kernel module to track processes and connections instead of
+depending in content in /proc/.  This should enter unstable fairly
+soon.&lt;/p&gt;
 
-&lt;p&gt;Boken lanseres nå på norsk, både som ebok og på papir, oversatt av
-en dugnadsgjeng ledet av Petter Reinholdtsen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Boken reiser noen helt grunnleggende og samfunnskritiske spørsmål:
-Hva fører det til når store deler av Internettet domineres av få store
-aktører og deres styringsverktøy og algoritmer?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Som individer bør vi være opptatt at grenser blir satt og håndhevet
-- grenser for overvåkning av individet, for utøvelse av kommersiell
-og politisk påvirkning, og for monopoldannelser i
-dataverdenen. Slik grensesetting styrker personvernet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Konkurransetilsynet har ansvaret for at konkurranselovens § 11 skal
-forby «et dominerende foretak for utilbørlig å utnytte og misbruke
-sin dominerende stilling». Et tilsvarende forbud omfattes også av
-EØS-avtalens artikkel 54. Boken går i detalj om serien av
-innskrenkninger vi møter i valgfriheten, innskrenkninger som denne
-lovgivningen nettopp skal forhindre. HÃ¥ndhevelse av en slik lovgivning
-er også til fordel for mindre næringsdrivende som uten dette får
-begrenset sine faktiske eller potensielle muligheter for vekst og
-etablering. «Slik atferd kan utgjøre et misbruk og kan ta ulike
-former», skriver Konkurransetilsynet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Cory Doctorow går i sin bok lengre enn det med sine mange eksempler
-på forhold det burde vært grepet inn mot.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;«Boken bør bidra til et sterkere engasjemen fra voktere av
-Inter­nettet nasjonalt og internasjonalt - EU medregnet» sier
-oversetter Ole-Erik Yrvin og fortsetter: «Vi har derfor
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2021-01-26-knus-overvaakningskapitalismen-helleland.pdf&quot;&gt;allerede
-tatt opp bokens forslag&lt;/a&gt; direkte med Distrikts- og
-digitaliseringsminister Linda Hofstad Helleland (H) og
-Konkurransetilsynet slik at de kan følges opp.»&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;«Også Norge bør innta en pådriverrolle i denne utviklingen», sier
-Petter Reinholdtsen. «Tiden er knapp, og tilsynsmyndighetene må få
-de verktøy og de ressurser de trenger for at vi her hjemme skal oppnå
-nødvendige resultater. Dette gjelder ikke bare vår egen generasjon;
-det gjelder alle generasjoner fremover», avslutter Petter
-Reinholdsen.&lt;/p&gt;

-		<guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Latest_Jami_back_in_Debian_Testing__and_scriptable_using_dbus.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Tue, 12 Jan 2021 17:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
-		<description>&lt;p&gt;After a lot of hard work by its maintainer Alexandre Viau and
-others, the decentralized communication platform
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jami_(software)&quot;&gt;Jami&lt;/a&gt;
-(earlier known as Ring), managed to get
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ring&quot;&gt;its latest version&lt;/a&gt;
-into Debian Testing.  Several of its dependencies has caused build and
-propagation problems, which all seem to be solved now.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In addition to the fact that Jami is decentralized, similar to how
-bittorrent is decentralized, I first of all like how it is not
-connected to external IDs like phone numbers.  This allow me to set up
-computers to send me notifications using Jami without having to find
-get a phone number for each computer.  Automatic notification via Jami
-is also made trivial thanks to the provided client side API (as a DBus
-service).  Here is my bourne shell script demonstrating how to let any
-system send a message to any Jami address.  It will create a new
-identity before sending the message, if no Jami identity exist
-already:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-#!/bin/sh
-#
-# Usage: $0 &lt;jami-address&gt; &lt;message&gt;
-#
-# Send &lt;message&gt; to &lt;jami-address&gt;, create local jami account if

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;There is a European standard for reading utility meters like water,
+gas, electricity or heat distribution meters.  The
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meter-Bus&quot;&gt;Meter-Bus standard
+(EN 13757-2, EN 13757-3 and EN 13757–4)&lt;/a&gt; provide a cross vendor way
+to talk to and collect meter data.  I ran into this standard when I
+wanted to monitor some heat distribution meters, and managed to find
+free software that could do the job.  The meters in question broadcast
+encrypted messages with meter information via radio, and the hardest
+part was to track down the encryption keys from the vendor.  With this
+in place I could set up a MQTT gateway to submit the meter data for
+graphing.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The free software systems in question,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rtl-wmbus&quot;&gt;rtl-wmbus&lt;/a&gt; to
+read the messages from a software defined radio, and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/wmbusmeters&quot;&gt;wmbusmeters&lt;/a&gt; to
+decrypt and decode the content of the messages, is working very well
+and allowe me to get frequent updates from my meters.  I got in touch
+with upstream last year to see if there was any interest in publishing
+the packages via Debian.  I was very happy to learn that Fredrik
+Öhrström volunteered to maintain the packages, and I have since
+assisted him in getting Debian package build rules in place as well as
+sponsoring the packages into the Debian archive.  Sadly we completed
+it too late for them to become part of the next stable Debian release
+(Bookworm).  The wmbusmeters package just cleared the NEW queue.  It
+will need some work to fix a built problem, but I expect Fredrik will
+find a solution soon.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you got a infrastructure meter supporting the Meter Bus
+standard, I strongly recommend having a look at these nice
+packages.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;The LinuxCNC project is making headway these days.  A lot of
+patches and issues have seen activity on
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/&quot;&gt;the project github
+pages&lt;/a&gt; recently.  A few weeks ago there was a developer gathering
+over at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://tormach.com/&quot;&gt;Tormach&lt;/a&gt; headquarter in
+Wisconsin, and now we are planning a new gathering in Norway.  If you
+wonder what LinuxCNC is, lets quote Wikipedia:&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boken «Made with Creative Commons» lanseres på norsk&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;«Gjort med Creative Commons» er en bok om gjenbruk, deling og den
-digitale allmenningen. Boken omhandler å bygge en forretningsmodell på
-Ã¥pne verdier, endringene i tankesett og filosofi, og fordelene og
-praksisen som kommer med å være «åpen».&lt;/p&gt;
-  
-&lt;p&gt;Forfatterne Paul Stacey og Sarah Hinchliff Pearson tar oss med inn
-i samtaler med 24 mennesker, prosjekter og organisasjoner som på ulike
-måter generere inntekter gjennom deling av sine verk. Som leser får
-man innsikt i hvordan alt fra forskere, forfattere, kunstnere og
-filmskapere tjener penger basert på åpne forretningsmodeller. En av
-referansestudiene i denne boken viser hvordan Blender Animation Studio
-lager vakre animasjonsfilmer som de publiserer under en fri lisens,
-basert på en plattform som er fri programvare.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Utover praktiske eksempler på forskjellige forretningsmodeller berører
-også boken forskjellen mellom tradisjonelle kommersielle virksomheter og
-de som tar utgangspunkt i den globale delingskulturen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;«Hvis du ønsker å lære mer om digital delingskultur og Creative Commons
-er dette en bok som både vil inspirere og gi grunnleggende innsikt» sier
-leder av Creative Commons Norge, Christer Solheim Gundersen. «De siste
-Ã¥rene har denne globale bevegelsen sett en betydelig vekst med totalt
-over 1,6 milliarder verk med CC-lisens tilgjengelig på nett.»
-  
-Nå er den tilgjengelig på norsk takket være liten gruppe frivillige
-entusiaster ledet av Petter Reinholdtsen. «På vegne av Creative Commons
-Norge vil jeg takke hver enkelt bidragsyter. Dette prosjektet er i seg
-selv et inspirerende eksempel på at delingskulturen også har godt
-fotfeste her i Norge.», avslutter Gundersen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Boken er selvsagt fritt tilgjengelig under en Creative Commons lisens,
-og kan også kjøpes som ebok og papirutgave på blant annet Lulu.com og
-Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;

+&quot;LinuxCNC is a software system for numerical control of
+machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers,
+cutting machines, robots and hexapods. It can control up to 9 axes or
+joints of a CNC machine using G-code (RS-274NGC) as input. It has
+several GUIs suited to specific kinds of usage (touch screen,
+interactive development).&quot;

-&lt;p&gt;I am happy to report that we finally made it!  Norwegian Bokmål
-became the first translation published on paper of the new Buster
-based edition of &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/&quot;&gt;The Debian
-Administrator&#39;s Handbook&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.  The print proof reading copy arrived
-some days ago, and it looked good, so now the book is approved for
-general distribution.  This updated paperback edition &lt;a
-href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/get/#norwegian&quot;&gt;is available from
-lulu.com&lt;/a&gt;.  The book is also available for download in electronic
-form as PDF, EPUB and Mobipocket, and can also be
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/browse/nb-NO/stable/&quot;&gt;read online&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I am very happy to wrap up this Creative Common licensed project,
-which concludes several months of work by several volunteers. The
-number of Linux related books published in Norwegian are few, and I
-really hope this one will gain many readers, as it is packed with deep
-knowledge on Linux and the Debian ecosystem.  The book will be
-available for various Internet book stores like Amazon and Barnes &amp;
-Noble soon, but I recommend buying

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;A bit delayed,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opensnitch&quot;&gt;the interactive
+application firewall OpenSnitch&lt;/a&gt; package in Debian now got the
+latest fixes ready for Debian Bookworm.  Because it depend on a
+package missing on some architectures, the autopkgtest check of the
+testing migration script did not understand that the tests were
+actually working, so the migration was delayed.  A bug in the package
+dependencies is also fixed, so those installing the firewall package
+(opensnitch) now also get the GUI admin tool (python3-opensnitch-ui)
+installed by default.  I am very grateful to Gustavo Iñiguez Goya for
+his work on getting the package ready for Debian Bookworm.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Armed with this package I have discovered some surprising
+connections from programs I believed were able to work completly
+offline, and it has already proven its worth, at least to me.  If you
+too want to get more familiar with the kind of programs using
+Internett connections on your machine, I recommend testing &lt;tt&gt;apt
+install opensnitch&lt;/tt&gt; in Bookworm and see what you think.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The package is still not able to build its eBPF module within
+Debian.  Not sure how much work it would be to get it working, but
+suspect some kernel related packages need to be extended with more
+header files to get it working.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;While visiting a convention during Easter, it occurred to me that
+it would be great if I could have a digital Dictaphone with
+transcribing capabilities, providing me with texts to cut-n-paste into
+stuff I need to write.  The background is that long drives often bring
+up the urge to write on texts I am working on, which of course is out
+of the question while driving.  With the release of
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/openai/whisper/&quot;&gt;OpenAI Whisper&lt;/a&gt;, this
+seem to be within reach with Free Software, so I decided to give it a
+go.  OpenAI Whisper is a Linux based neural network system to read in
+audio files and provide text representation of the speech in that
+audio recording.  It handle multiple languages and according to its
+creators even can translate into a different language than the spoken
+one.  I have not tested the latter feature.  It can either use the CPU
+or a GPU with CUDA support.  As far as I can tell, CUDA in practice
+limit that feature to NVidia graphics cards.  I have few of those, as
+they do not work great with free software drivers, and have not tested
+the GPU option.  While looking into the matter, I did discover some
+work to provide CUDA support on non-NVidia GPUs, and some work with
+the library used by Whisper to port it to other GPUs, but have not
+spent much time looking into GPU support yet.  I&#39;ve so far used an old
+X220 laptop as my test machine, and only transcribed using its
+CPU.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As it from a privacy standpoint is unthinkable to use computers
+under control of someone else (aka a &quot;cloud&quot; service) to transcribe
+ones thoughts and personal notes, I want to run the transcribing
+system locally on my own computers.  The only sensible approach to me
+is to make the effort I put into this available for any Linux user and
+to upload the needed packages into Debian.  Looking at Debian Bookworm, I
+discovered that only three packages were missing,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/1034307&quot;&gt;tiktoken&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/1034144&quot;&gt;triton&lt;/a&gt;, and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/1034091&quot;&gt;openai-whisper&lt;/a&gt;.  For a while
+I also believed
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/1034286&quot;&gt;ffmpeg-python&lt;/a&gt; was
+needed, but as its
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python/issues/760&quot;&gt;upstream
+seem to have vanished&lt;/a&gt; I found it safer
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/openai/whisper/pull/1242&quot;&gt;to rewrite
+whisper&lt;/a&gt; to stop depending on in than to introduce ffmpeg-python
+into Debian.  I decided to place these packages under the umbrella of
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team&quot;&gt;the Debian Deep
+Learning Team&lt;/a&gt;, which seem like the best team to look after such
+packages.  Discussing the topic within the group also made me aware
+that the triton package was already a future dependency of newer
+versions of the torch package being planned, and would be needed after
+Bookworm is released.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;All required code packages have been now waiting in
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html&quot;&gt;the Debian NEW
+queue&lt;/a&gt; since Wednesday, heading for Debian Experimental until
+Bookworm is released.  An unsolved issue is how to handle the neural
+network models used by Whisper.  The default behaviour of Whisper is
+to require Internet connectivity and download the model requested to
+&lt;tt&gt;~/.cache/whisper/&lt;/tt&gt; on first invocation.  This obviously would
+fail &lt;a href=&quot;https://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html&quot;&gt;the
+deserted island test of free software&lt;/a&gt; as the Debian packages would
+be unusable for someone stranded with only the Debian archive and solar
+powered computer on a deserted island.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Because of this, I would love to include the models in the Debian
+mirror system.  This is problematic, as the models are very large
+files, which would put a heavy strain on the Debian mirror
+infrastructure around the globe.  The strain would be even higher if
+the models change often, which luckily as far as I can tell they do
+not.  The small model, which according to its creator is most useful
+for English and in my experience is not doing a great job there
+either, is 462 MiB (deb is 414 MiB).  The medium model, which to me
+seem to handle English speech fairly well is 1.5 GiB (deb is 1.3 GiB)
+and the large model is 2.9 GiB (deb is 2.6 GiB).  I would assume
+everyone with enough resources would prefer to use the large model for
+highest quality.  I believe the models themselves would have to go
+into the non-free part of the Debian archive, as they are not really
+including any useful source code for updating the models.  The
+&quot;source&quot;, aka the model training set, according to the creators
+consist of &quot;680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervised
+data collected from the web&quot;, which to me reads material with both
+unknown copyright terms, unavailable to the general public.  In other
+words, the source is not available according to the Debian Free
+Software Guidelines and the model should be considered non-free.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I asked the Debian FTP masters for advice regarding uploading a
+model package on their IRC channel, and based on the feedback there it
+is still unclear to me if such package would be accepted into the
+archive.  In any case I wrote build rules for a
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team/openai-whisper-model&quot;&gt;OpenAI
+Whisper model package&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/openai/whisper/pull/1257&quot;&gt;modified the
+Whisper code base&lt;/a&gt; to prefer shared files under &lt;tt&gt;/usr/&lt;/tt&gt; and
+&lt;tt&gt;/var/&lt;/tt&gt; over user specific files in &lt;tt&gt;~/.cache/whisper/&lt;/tt&gt;
+to be able to use these model packages, to prepare for such
+possibility.  One solution might be to include only one of the models
+(small or medium, I guess) in the Debian archive, and ask people to
+download the others from the Internet.  Not quite sure what to do
+here, and advice is most welcome (use the debian-ai mailing list).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To make it easier to test the new packages while I wait for them to
+clear the NEW queue, I created an APT source targeting bookworm.  I
+selected Bookworm instead of Bullseye, even though I know the latter
+would reach more users, is that some of the required dependencies are
+missing from Bullseye and I during this phase of testing did not want
+to backport a lot of packages just to get up and running.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Here is a recipe to run as user root if you want to test OpenAI
+Whisper using Debian packages on your Debian Bookworm installation,
+first adding the APT repository GPG key to the list of trusted keys,
+then setting up the APT repository and finally installing the packages
+and one of the models:&lt;/p&gt;
 
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+curl https://geekbay.nuug.no/~pere/openai-whisper/D78F5C4796F353D211B119E28200D9B589641240.asc \
+  -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/pere-whisper.asc
+mkdir -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d
+cat &gt; /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pere-whisper.list &amp;lt;&amp;lt;EOF
+deb https://geekbay.nuug.no/~pere/openai-whisper/ bookworm main
+deb-src https://geekbay.nuug.no/~pere/openai-whisper/ bookworm main
+EOF
+apt update
+apt install openai-whisper
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The package work for me, but have not yet been tested on any other
+computer than my own.  With it, I have been able to (badly) transcribe
+a 2 minute 40 second Norwegian audio clip to test using the small
+model.  This took 11 minutes and around 2.2 GiB of RAM.  Transcribing
+the same file with the medium model gave a accurate text in 77 minutes
+using around 5.2 GiB of RAM.  My test machine had too little memory to
+test the large model, which I believe require 11 GiB of RAM.  In

-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/&quot;&gt;The Debian Administrator&#39;s
-Handbook&lt;/a&gt;&quot; was published.  This was based on Debian Jessie.  Now a
-new and updated version based on Buster is getting ready.  Work on the
-updated Norwegian Bokmål edition has been going on for a few months
-now, and yesterday, we reached the first mile stone, with 100% of the
-texts being translated.  A lot of proof reading remains, of course,
-but a major step towards a new edition has been taken.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The book is translated by volunteers, and we would love to get some
-help with the proof reading.  The translation uses
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/languages/nb_NO/debian-handbook/&quot;&gt;the
-hosted Weblate service&lt;/a&gt;, and we welcome everyone to have a look and
-submit improvements and suggestions.  There is also a proof readers
-PDF available on request, get in touch if you want to help out that

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;Today I finally found time to track down a useful radio frequency
+scanner for my software defined radio.  Just for fun I tried to locate
+the radios used in the areas, and a good start would be to scan all
+the frequencies to see what is in use.  I&#39;ve tried to find a useful
+program earlier, but ran out of time before I managed to find a useful
+tool.  This time I was more successful, and after a few false leads I
+found a description of
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.kali.org/tools/rtlsdr-scanner/&quot;&gt;rtlsdr-scanner
+over at the Kali site&lt;/a&gt;, and was able to track down
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/rtlsdr-scanner.git&quot;&gt;the
+Kali package git repository&lt;/a&gt; to build a deb package for the
+scanner.  Sadly the package is missing from the Debian project itself,
+at least in Debian Bullseye.  Two runtime dependencies,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/python-visvis.git&quot;&gt;python-visvis&lt;/a&gt;
+and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/python-rtlsdr.git&quot;&gt;python-rtlsdr&lt;/a&gt;
+had to be built and installed separately.  Luckily &#39;&lt;tt&gt;gbp
+buildpackage&lt;/tt&gt;&#39; handled them just fine and no further packages had
+to be manually built.  The end result worked out of the box after
+installation.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My initial scans for FM channels worked just fine, so I knew the
+scanner was functioning.  But when I tried to scan every frequency
+from 100 to 1000 MHz, the program stopped unexpectedly near the
+completion.  After some debugging I discovered USB software radio I
+used rejected frequencies above 948 MHz, triggering a unreported
+exception breaking the scan.  Changing the scan to end at 957 worked
+better.  I similarly found the lower limit to be around 15, and ended
+up with the following full scan:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2023-04-07-radio-freq-scanning.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2023-04-07-radio-freq-scanning.png&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Saving the scan did not work, but exporting it as a CSV file worked
+just fine.  I ended up with around 477k CVS lines with dB level for
+the given frequency.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The save failure seem to be a missing UTF-8 encoding issue in the
+python code.  Will see if I can find time to send a patch
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/CdeMills/RTLSDR-Scanner/&quot;&gt;upstream&lt;/a&gt;
+later to fix this exception:&lt;/p&gt;

-		<description>&lt;p&gt;As a member of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;Norwegian Unix
-User Group&lt;/a&gt;, I have the pleasure of receiving the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.usenix.org/&quot;&gt;USENIX&lt;/a&gt; magazine
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.usenix.org/publications/login/&quot;&gt;;login:&lt;/a&gt;
-several times a year.  I rarely have time to read all the articles,
-but try to at least skim through them all as there is a lot of nice
-knowledge passed on there.  I even carry the latest issue with me most
-of the time to try to get through all the articles when I have a few
-spare minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The other day I came across a nice article titled
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.usenix.org/publications/login/winter2018/oneill&quot;&gt;The
-Secure Socket API: TLS as an Operating System Service&lt;/a&gt;&quot; with a
-marvellous idea I hope can make it all the way into the POSIX standard.
-The idea is as simple as it is powerful.  By introducing a new
-socket() option IPPROTO_TLS to use TLS, and a system wide service to
-handle setting up TLS connections, one both make it trivial to add TLS
-support to any program currently using the POSIX socket API, and gain
-system wide control over certificates, TLS versions and encryption
-systems used.  Instead of doing this:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-int socket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;the program code would be doing this:&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-int socket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TLS);
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;According to the ;login: article, converting a C program to use TLS
-would normally modify only 5-10 lines in the code, which is amazing
-when compared to using for example the OpenSSL API.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The project has set up the
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://securesocketapi.org/&quot;&gt;https://securesocketapi.org/&lt;/a&gt;
-web site to spread the idea, and the code for a kernel module and the
-associated system daemon is available from two github repositories:
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/markoneill/ssa&quot;&gt;ssa&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/markoneill/ssa-daemon&quot;&gt;ssa-daemon&lt;/a&gt;.
-Unfortunately there is no explicit license information with the code,
-so its copyright status is unclear.  A
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/markoneill/ssa/issues/2&quot;&gt;request to solve
-this&lt;/a&gt; about it has been unsolved since 2018-08-17.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I love the idea of extending socket() to gain TLS support, and
-understand why it is an advantage to implement this as a kernel module
-and system wide service daemon, but can not help to think that it
-would be a lot easier to get projects to move to this way of setting
-up TLS if it was done with a user space approach where programs
-wanting to use this API approach could just link with a wrapper
-library.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I recommend you check out this simple and powerful approach to more
-secure network connections. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+		<title>OpenSnitch available in Debian Sid and Bookworm</title>

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks to the efforts of the OpenSnitch lead developer Gustavo
+Iñiguez Goya allowing me to sponsor the upload,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opensnitch&quot;&gt;the interactive
+application firewall OpenSnitch&lt;/a&gt; is now available in Debian
+Testing, soon to become the next stable release of Debian.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is a package which set up a network firewall on one or more
+machines, which is controlled by a graphical user interface that will
+ask the user if a program should be allowed to connect to the local
+network or the Internet.  If some background daemon is trying to dial
+home, it can be blocked from doing so with a simple mouse click, or by
+default simply by not doing anything when the GUI question dialog pop
+up.  A list of all programs discovered using the network is provided
+in the GUI, giving the user an overview of how the machine(s) programs
+use the network.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;OpenSnitch was uploaded for NEW processing about a month ago, and I
+had little hope of it getting accepted and shaping up in time for the
+package freeze, but the Debian ftpmasters proved to be amazingly quick
+at checking out the package and it was accepted into the archive about
+week after the first upload.  It is now team maintained under the Go
+language team umbrella.  A few fixes to the default setup is only in
+Sid, and should migrate to Testing/Bookworm in a week.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;During testing I ran into an
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/issues/813&quot;&gt;issue
+with Minecraft server broadcasts disappearing&lt;/a&gt;, which was quickly
+resolved by the developer with a patch and a proposed configuration
+change.  I&#39;ve been told this was caused by the Debian packages default
+use if /proc/ information to track down kernel status, instead of the
+newer eBPF module that can be used.  The reason is simply that
+upstream and I have failed to find a way to build the eBPF modules for
+OpenSnitch without a complete configured Linux kernel source tree,
+which as far as we can tell is unavailable as a build dependency in
+Debian.  We tried unsuccessfully so far to use the kernel-headers
+package.  It would be great if someone could provide some clues how to
+build eBPF modules on build daemons in Debian, possibly without the full
+kernel source.&lt;/p&gt;
