-		<description>&lt;p&gt;It has been way too long since my last interview, but as the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
-community is still active, and new people keep showing up on the IRC
-channel &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/#debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/&quot;&gt;the debian-edu mailing
-list&lt;/a&gt;, I decided to give it another go.  I was hoping someone else
-might pick up the idea and run with it, but this has not happened as
-far as I can tell, so here we are… This time the announcement of a new
-free software tool to
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://framagit.org/Yvan-Masson/WhosWho&quot;&gt;create a school year
-book&lt;/a&gt; triggered my interest, and I decided to learn more about its
-author.&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 Yvan MASSON, I live in France. I have my own one person
-business in computer services.  The work consist of visiting my
-customers (person&#39;s home, local authority, small business) to give
-advise, install computers and software, fix issues, and provide
-computing usage training.  I spend the rest of my time enjoying my
-family and promoting free software.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is your approach for promoting free
-software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When I think that free software could be suitable for someone, I
-explain what it is, with simple words, give a few known examples, and
-explain that while there is no fee it is a viable alternative in many
-situations. Most people are receptive when you explain how it is
-better (I simplify arguments here, I know that it is not so simple):
-Linux works on older hardware, there are no viruses, and the software
-can be audited to ensure user is not spied upon. I think the most
-important is to keep a clear but moderated speech: when you try to
-convince too much, people feel attacked and stop listening.&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;I can not remember how I first heard of Skolelinux / Debian Edu,
-but probably on planet.debian.org. As I have been working for a
-school, I have interest in this type of project.
-
-&lt;p&gt;The school I am involved in is a school for &quot;children&quot; between 14
-and 18 years old.  The French government has recommended free software
-since 2012, but they do not always use free software themselves.  The
-school computers are still using the Windows operating system, but all
-of them have the classic set of free software: Firefox ESR,
-LibreOffice (with the excellent extension Grammalecte that indicates
-French grammatical errors), SumatraPDF, Audacity, 7zip, KeePass2, VLC,
-GIMP, Inkscape…
-
-&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 is free software! Built on Debian, I am sure that users are not
-spied upon, and that it can run on low end hardware.  This last point
-is very important, because we really need to improve &quot;green IT&quot;.  I do
-not know enough about Skolelinux / Debian Edu to tell how it is better
-than another free software solution, but what I like is the &quot;all in
-one&quot; solution: everything has been thought of and prepared to ease
-installation and usage.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I like Free Software because I hate using something that I can not
-understand. I do not say that I can understand everything nor that I
-want to understand everything, but knowing that someone / some company
-intentionally prevents me from understanding how things work is really
-unacceptable to me.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Secondly, and more importantly, free software is a requirement to
-prevent abuses regarding human rights and environmental care.
-Humanity can not rely on tools that are in the hands of small group of
-people.&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;Again, I don&#39;t know this project enough. Maybe a dedicated website?
-Debian wiki works well for documentation, but is not very appealing to
-someone discovering the project. Also, as Skolelinux / Debian Edu uses
-OpenLDAP, it probably means that Windows workstations cannot use
-centralized authentication. Maybe the project could use Samba as an
-Active Directory domain controller instead, allowing Windows desktop
-usage when necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;(Editors note: In fact Windows workstations can
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/HowTo/Samba&quot;&gt;use
-the centralized authentication in a Debian Edu setup&lt;/a&gt;, at least for
-some versions of Windows, but the fact that this is not well known can
-be seen as an indication of the need for better documentation and
-marketing. :)&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;Nothing original: Debian testing/sid with Gnome desktop, Firefox,
-Thunderbird, LibreOffice…&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;Every effort to spread free software into schools is important,
-whatever it is. But I think, at least where I live, that IT
-professionals maintaining schools networks are still very &quot;Microsoft
-centric&quot;.  Schools will use any working solution, but they need people
-to install and maintain it.  How to make these professionals sensitive
-about free software and train them with solutions like Debian Edu /
-Skolelinux is a really good question :-)&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

-                <pubDate>Fri, 8 May 2020 13:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
-		<description>&lt;p&gt;Half a year ago,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Jami_Ring__finally_functioning_peer_to_peer_communication_client.html&quot;&gt;I
-wrote&lt;/a&gt; about &lt;a href=&quot;https://jami.net/&quot;&gt;the Jami communication
-client&lt;/a&gt;, capable of peer-to-peer encrypted communication.  It
-handle both messages, audio and video.  It uses distributed hash
-tables instead of central infrastructure to connect its users to each
-other, which in my book is a plus.  I mentioned briefly that it could
-also work as a SIP client, which came in handy when the higher
-educational sector in Norway started to promote Zoom as its video
-conferencing solution.  I am reluctant to use the official Zoom client
-software, due to their &lt;a href=&quot;https://zoom.us/terms&quot;&gt;copyright
-license clauses&lt;/a&gt; prohibiting users to reverse engineer (for example
-to check the security) and benchmark it, and thus prefer to connect to
-Zoom meetings with free software clients.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jami worked OK as a SIP client to Zoom as long as there was no
-password set on the room.  The Jami daemon leak memory like crazy
-(approximately 1 GiB a minute) when I am connected to the video
-conference, so I had to restart the client every 7-10 minutes, which
-is not a great.  I tried to get other SIP Linux clients to work
-without success, so I decided I would have to live with this wart
-until someone managed to fix the leak in the dring code base.  But
-another problem showed up once the rooms were password protected.  I
-could not get my dial tone signaling through from Jami to Zoom, and
-dial tone signaling is used to enter the password when connecting to
-Zoom.  I tried a lot of different permutations with my Jami and
-Asterisk setup to try to figure out why the signaling did not get
-through, only to finally discover that the fundamental problem seem to
-be that Zoom is simply not able to receive dial tone signaling when
-connecting via SIP.  There seem to be nothing wrong with the Jami and
-Asterisk end, it is simply broken in the Zoom end.  I got help from a
-very skilled VoIP engineer figuring out this last part.  And being a
-very skilled engineer, he was also able to locate a solution for me.
-Or to be exact, a workaround that solve my initial problem of
-connecting to password protected Zoom rooms using Jami.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So, how do you do this, I am sure you are wondering by now.  The
-trick is already
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/202405539-H-323-SIP-Room-Connector-Dial-Strings#sip&quot;&gt;documented
-from Zoom&lt;/a&gt;, and it is to modify the SIP address to include the room
-password.  What is most surprising about this is that the
-automatically generated email from Zoom with instructions on how to
-connect via SIP do not mention this.  The SIP address to use normally
-consist of the room ID (a number), an @ character and the IP address
-of the Zoom SIP gateway.  But Zoom understand a lot more than just the
-room ID in front of the at sign.  The format is &quot;&lt;tt&gt;[Meeting
-ID].[Password].[Layout].[Host Key]&lt;/tt&gt;&quot;, and you can hear see how you
-can both enter password, control the layout (full screen, active
-presence and gallery) and specify the host key to start the meeting.
-The full SIP address entered into Jami to provide the password will
-then look like this (all using made up numbers):&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;tt&gt;sip:657837644.522827@192.168.169.170&lt;/tt&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Now if only jami would reduce its memory usage, I could even
-recommend this setup to others. :)&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

-		<description>&lt;p&gt;The curiosity got the better of me when
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://developers.slashdot.org/story/20/04/06/1424246/new-jersey-desperately-needs-cobol-programmers&quot;&gt;Slashdot
-reported&lt;/a&gt; that New Jersey was desperately looking for
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COBOL&quot;&gt;COBOL&lt;/a&gt; programmers,
-and a few days later it was reported that
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://onezero.medium.com/ibm-rallies-cobol-engineers-to-save-overloaded-unemployment-systems-eeadf13eddce&quot;&gt;IBM
-tried to locate COBOL programmers&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I thus decided to have a look at free software alternatives to
-learn COBOL, and had the pleasure to find
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/projects/open-cobol/&quot;&gt;GnuCOBOL&lt;/a&gt; was
-already &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnucobol&quot;&gt;in
-Debian&lt;/a&gt;.  It used to be called Open Cobol, and is a &quot;compiler&quot;
-transforming COBOL code to C or C++ before giving it to GCC or Visual
-Studio to build binaries.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I managed to get in touch with upstream, and was impressed with the
-quick response, and also was happy to see a new Debian maintainer
-taking over when the original one recently asked to be replaced.  A
-new Debian upload was done as recently as yesterday.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Using the Debian package, I was able to follow a simple COBOL
-introduction and make and run simple COBOL programs.  It was fun to
-learn a new programming language.  If you want to test for yourself,
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnuCOBOL&quot;&gt;the GnuCOBOL Wikipedia
-page&lt;/a&gt; have a few simple examples to get you startet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;As I do not have much experience with COBOL, I do not know how
-standard compliant it is, but it claim to pass most tests from COBOL
-test suite, which sound good to me.  It is nice to know it is possible
-to learn COBOL using software without any usage restrictions, and I am
-very happy such nice free software project as this is available.  If
-you as me is curious about COBOL, check it out.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<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;Jeg er blitt spurt hva jeg synes om lansering av smittestopp-appen,
-overvåkningsløsningen lansert av Folkehelseinstituttet,
-Simula-senteret og Regjeringen i dag, fulgt av klare trusler fra
-regjeringen om konsekvenser hvis befolkningen ikke tar den i bruk.
-Rekker ikke skrive noe fyldig om temaet, men det er klart for meg at
-den utraderer retten til privatliv samt utgjør en personlig
-sikkerhetsrisiko for alle som tar den i bruk.  Bare det er nok til at
-det fremstår som en svært dårlig ide å bli med på denne &quot;dugnaden&quot;.
-Det finnes andre og bedre tilnærminger enn den valgt av FHI.  Har de
-valgt sin tilnærming for å sikre seg nok et datasett i den fremtidige
-ehelse-portalen?  Potensialet for misbruk av informasjon samlet inn av
-appen er for stort, effekten på neste krise for klar og gevinsten for
-liten.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For å si det med forhenværende leder i Datatilsynet, Georg Apenes,
-som skrev i en kronikk den gang Datatilsynet vernet
-privatsfæren at
-«&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/rent-mel-i-bilen/66333882&quot;&gt;SENTRALT
-I en liberal forestillingsverden finner vi aksept av borgerens rett
-til å kunne velge å være i fred; å være u-iakttatt, uregistrert og
-anonym&lt;/a&gt;».  Det er ikke uten grunn han startet kronikken med
-«Personvern et fremmedord i enkelte av de statsorganene som samler
-inn, oppbevarer og bruker personopplysninger».  Der har nok
-statsorganene bare blitt dårligere på 13 år.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er jo også verdt å merke seg at personvernrådet i EU (EDPB)
-mener smittestopp-appen
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://nrkbeta.no/2020/04/16/personvernrad-i-eu-mener-norsk-app-bryter-med-viktig-personvernprinsipp/&quot;&gt;opererer
-i strid med prinsippet om dataminimering&lt;/a&gt;.  Også de ser at det
-finnes mye bedre måter å gjøre dette på.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<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;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2023-06-12&lt;/strong&gt;: I got a tip about
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/PrivacyIssues&quot;&gt;a list of privacy
+issues in Free Software&lt;/a&gt; and the

-		<description>&lt;p&gt;Det er lenge siden jeg har sett på den norske stavekontrollen, sist
-jeg skrev om temaet var i 2016, og i mellomtiden har nettstedet
-no.speling.org forsvunnet, og både git-depotet på Alioth og
-mailman-tjenesten som hadde epostlistene for oversettelser blitt lagt
-ned.  Men bokmål og nynorsk trenger fortsatt stavekontroll, så etter
-et par purringer fra en som har lyst til å forbedre stavekontrollen
-har jeg endelig fått lagt ut ny offentlig kopi av git-depotet.  Jeg
-valgte gitlab foran github..  Siste utgave av stavekontrollen kan
-hentes ned fra
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/norwegian-language-tools/spell-norwegian&quot;&gt;https://gitlab.com/norwegian-language-tools/spell-norwegian&lt;/a&gt;.
-Ingen ny versjon i denne omgang altså, bare et nytt sted å samle
-forbedringer til den frie norske stavekontrollen. :)

+		<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;
+&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;/blockquote&gt;
 
+&lt;p&gt;The Norwegian developer gathering take place the weekend June 16th
+to 18th this year, and is open for everyone interested in contributing
+to LinuxCNC.  Up to date information about the gathering can be found
+in
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/emc/mailman/emc-developers/thread/sa64jp06nob.fsf%40hjemme.reinholdtsen.name/#msg37837251&quot;&gt;the
+developer mailing list thread&lt;/a&gt; where the gathering was announced.
+Thanks to the good people at
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.redpill-linpro.com/&quot;&gt;Redpill-Linpro&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuugfoundation.no/no/&quot;&gt;NUUG Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, we
+have enough sponsor funds to pay for food, and shelter for the people
+traveling from afar to join us.  If you would like to join the
+gathering, get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<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;Arbeidet med å lage et godt, fritt og åpent standardisert maskinelt
-grensesnitt for arkivering, med tilhørende fri
-programvareimplementasjon fortsetter.  Jeg snakker om
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/arkivverket/noark5-tjenestegrensesnitt-standard&quot;&gt;Noark
-5 Tjenestegrensesnitt&lt;/a&gt; og
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/&quot;&gt;Nikita&lt;/a&gt;.
-Siste nytt etter
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20200127-noark-seminar/&quot;&gt;seminaret
-for noen dager siden&lt;/a&gt;, er vi i Nikita-prosjektet har fått beskjed
-fra Arkivverket at det blir satt ned en redaksjon for å videreutvikle
-spesifikasjonen.  Redaksjonen består av Mona Danielsen og Anne Sofie
-Knutsen ved arkivverket, Thomas Sødring ved OsloMet, og meg selv fra
-NUUG.  De to sistenevnte tar seg av de åpenbare forbedringene, mens
-hele redaksjonen diskuterer tvilstilfeller.  Jeg håper dette vil bidra
-til at vi lykkes i å gjøre denne protokollspesifikasjonen så entydig
-og klar at den vil bidra til et velfungerende marked for
-arkivsystemer, og sikre at programmer som trenger å snakke med
-arkivsystemet kan snakke med enhver implementasjon av
-API-spesifikasjonen.  Nikita er den første implementasjonen, men det
-bør blir flere.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det gjenstår riktig nok endel før vi er i mål, selv om svært mye
-allerede er på plass.  Med innspill og forslag til forbedringer fra
-alle som vil ha et leverandøruavhengig og fullstendig
-datamaskinlesbart grensesnitt til arkivet, så tror jeg vi vil
-lykkes.&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
+short, this now work for me using Debian packages, and I hope it will
+for you and everyone else once the packages enter Debian.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Now I can start on the audio recording part of this project.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Fri, 7 Apr 2023 23:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
+		<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;En historie som har betydd endel for meg, og som jeg av og til
-tenker på når hverdagen tynger, ble så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut,
-skrevet av &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loren_Eiseley&quot;&gt;Loren
-Eiseley&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_Thrower&quot;&gt;i
-flere ulike varianter&lt;/a&gt;.  På norsk tror jeg den går under navnet
-«Gutten og sjøstjernen», og jeg fant en oversettelse av en utgave av den
-hos
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://no.quora.com/Hva-er-din-favoritthistorie&quot;&gt;Quora&lt;/a&gt;.
-Fant også &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qClChUdlfI&quot;&gt;en
-filmatisering&lt;/a&gt;, men den versjonen jeg liker best fant jeg
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/56782.Loren_Eiseley&quot;&gt;hos
-Goodreads&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg oversatte den utgaven til norsk i går, og har lyst
-til å dele den med deg:
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mens jeg tok en pause fra skrivingen og vandret på en
-øde strand ved daggry, så jeg en gutt i det fjerne bøye seg ned og
-kaste noe mens han vandret mot meg over den endeløse stranden.  Da han
-kom nærmere, kunne jeg se at han kastet sjøstjerner, som var etterlatt
-i sanden av tidevannet, tilbake i havet. Da han var nær nok spurte jeg
-ham hvorfor han jobbet så hardt på denne merkelige oppgaven. Han sa at
-solen snart ville stå opp og tørke sjøstjernene slik at de ville
-dø.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg sa til ham at dette var helt meningsløst.  Det var kilometer på
-kilometer med strand, og det lå sjøstjerner hele veien.  En person
-alene kunne ikke gjøre noen forskjell.  Han smilte da han plukket opp
-neste sjøstjerne. Mens han kastet den så langt ut i havet som han
-klarte sa han, «for denne gjør det en forskjell».  Jeg droppet
-skrivingen og tilbrakte resten av morgenen med å kaste
-sjøstjerner.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;- Loren Eiseley&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Kanskje noe du også kan ha glede av å tenke på når ting virker
-håpløst?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Teksten er gjengitt og oversatt basert på utgaven på Good Read,
-uten tillatelse fra noen andre enn meg selv.  Jeg håper på tilgivelse,
-hvis det er et problem for noen, da det er gjort i beste mening.  Hvis
-eventuell rettighetshaver tar kontakt vil jeg fjerne teksten og i
-stedet legge ut henvendelsen der teksten kreves fjernet.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<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;
