  28 attacks</a> on Wikileak and
  29 <a href="http://www.salon.com/technology/dan_gillmor/2010/12/06/war_on_speech">free
  30 speech</a>, it has become obvious that PayPal, visa and mastercard can
  31 not be trusted to handle money transactions.
  32 A blog post from
  33 <a href="http://webmink.com/2010/12/06/now-accepting-bitcoin/">Simon
  34 Phipps on bitcoin</a> reminded me about a project that a friend of
  35 mine mentioned earlier.  I decided to follow Simon's example, and get
  36 involved with <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">BitCoin</a>.  I got
  37 some help from my friend to get it all running, and he even handed me
  38 some bitcoins to get started.  I even donated a few bitcoins to Simon
  39 for helping me remember BitCoin.</p>
  40
  41 <p>So, what is bitcoins, you probably wonder?  It is a digital
  42 crypto-currency, decentralised and handled using peer-to-peer
  43 networks.  It allows anonymous transactions and prohibits central
  44 control over the transactions, making it impossible for governments
  45 and companies alike to block donations and other transactions.  The
  46 source is free software, and while the key dependency wxWidgets 2.9
  47 for the graphical user interface is missing in Debian, the command
  48 line client builds just fine.  Hopefully Jonas
  49 <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/578157">will get the package into
  50 Debian</a> soon.</p>
  51
  52 <p>Bitcoins can be converted to other currencies, like USD and EUR.
  53 There are <a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/trade">companies accepting
  54 bitcoins</a> when selling services and goods, and there are even
  55 currency "stock" markets where the exchange rate is decided.  There
  56 are not many users so far, but the concept seems promising.  If you
  57 want to get started and lack a friend with any bitcoins to spare,
  58 you can even get
  59 <a href="https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">some for free</a> (0.05
  60 bitcoin at the time of writing).  Use
  61 <a href="http://www.bitcoinwatch.com/">BitcoinWatch</a> to keep an eye
  62 on the current exchange rates.</p>
  63
  64 <p>As an experiment, I have decided to set up bitcoind on one of my
  65 machines.  If you want to support my activity, please send Bitcoin
  66 donations to the address
  67 <b>15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</b>.  Thank you!</p>

  83 <p><a href="http://www.bekkelund.net/">Martin Bekkelund</a> ved
  84 <a href="http://www.friprog.no/">friprog-senteret</a> har skrevet
  85 følgende
  86 <a href="http://www.bekkelund.net/2010/12/09/en-stille-bonn/">korte
  87 oppsummering</a> rundt datalagringsdirektivet, som jeg videreformidler
  88 her.</p>
  89
  90 <p><blockquote><strong>Det pågår i disse dager en intens diskusjon om
  91 innføring av Datalagringsdirektivet (<acronym
  92 title="Datalagringsdirektivet">DLD</acronym>) i norsk rett. Kanskje
  93 har du gjort deg opp en mening, kanskje er du usikker. I begge
  94 tilfeller ber jeg deg lese videre.</strong></p>
  95
  96 <p>Samtlige fagmiljøer, både i Norge og EU, har konkludert med at
  97 <acronym title="Datalagringsdirektivet">DLD</acronym> ikke bør
  98 innføres på nåværende tidspunkt. Den tekniske kvaliteten på direktivet
  99 er dårlig, det griper uforholdsmessig inn i personvernet, det har
 100 store mangler og viktige spørsmål som hvem som skal ha tilgang og
 101 hvordan data skal lagres er fortsatt uavklart.</p>
 102
 103 <ul>
 104 <li><a href="http://ikt-norge.no/norge-kan-slippe-datalagringsdirektivet/">EU-ekspertene sier</a> at konsekvensene av å benytte vetoretten er minimale</li>
 105 <li><a href="http://www.regjeringen.no/pages/2281080/Deninternasjonalejuristkommisjon.pdf">Juristene påpeker</a> at direktivet er i strid med EMK</li>

 107 <li><a href="http://www.bekkelund.net/?s=dld">Teknologene sier</a> at sikker lagring ikke er mulig, at det er svært enkelt å omgå og mulig å manipulere data og produsere falske beviser</li>
 108 <li><a href="http://www.regjeringen.no/pages/2281080/NJ_247460_1_P.pdf">Pressen sier</a> nei av hensyn til kildevernet</li>

Blant annet har den tyske forfatningsdomstolen funnet at måten <acronym title="Datalagringsdirektivet">DLD</acronym> er innført på er i strid med tysk grunnlov</li>
 110 <li>Alle de store <a href="http://www.bekkelund.net/2010/12/08/lokasjonsdata-og-datalagringsdirektivet/">operatørene og tilbyderne sier nei</a>, av tekniske og personvernmessige årsaker</li>
 111 </ul>
 112
 113 <p>Jeg liker å tro at jeg er en hyggelig fyr. Jeg har et rent
 114 rulleblad, og med unntak av to fartsbøter har jeg aldri vært en byrde
 115 for samfunnet. Det akter jeg å fortsette med. Det er mange som meg,
 116 lovlydige, pliktoppfyllende borgere som aldri vil utgjøre en trussel
 117 mot noe som helst. Vi synes derfor det er trist og sårende at all vår
 118 atferd skal overvåkes døgnkontinuerlig.</p>

 154 <p>A few days ago, I was introduces to some students in the robot
 155 student assosiation <a href="http://www.robotica.no/">Robotica
 156 Osloensis</a> at the University of Oslo where I work, who planned to
 157 get their own 3D printer.  They wanted to learn from me based on my
 158 work in the area.  After having a short lunch meeting with them, I
 159 offered them to borrow my reprap kit, as I never had time to complete
 160 the build and this seem unlike to change any time soon.  I look
 161 forward to see how this goes.  This monday their volunteer driver
 162 picked up my kit and drove it to their lab, and tomorrow I am told the
 163 last exam is over so they can start work on getting the 3D printer
 164 operational.</p>
 165
 166 <p>The robotic group have already build several robots on their own,
 167 and seem capable of getting the reprap operational.  I really look
 168 forward to being able to print all the cool 3D designs published on
 169 <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/">Thingiverse</a>.  I even got
 170 some 3D scans I got made during Dagen@IFI when one of the groups at

 215   <div class="title"><a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Why_isn_t_Debian_Edu_using_VLC_.html">Why isn't Debian Edu using VLC?</a></div>
 216   <div class="date">2010-11-27 11:30</div>
 217   <div class="body">
 218 <p>In the latest issue of Linux Journal, the readers choices were
 219 presented, and the winner among the multimedia player were VLC.
 220 Personally, I like VLC, and it is my player of choice when I first try
 221 to play a video file or stream.  Only if VLC fail will I drag out
 222 gmplayer to see if it can do better.  The reason is mostly the failure
 223 model and trust.  When VLC fail, it normally pop up a error message
 224 reporting the problem.  When mplayer fail, it normally segfault or
 225 just hangs.  The latter failure mode drain my trust in the program.<p>
 226
 227 <p>But even if VLC is my player of choice, we have choosen to use
 228 mplayer in <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian
 229 Edu/Skolelinux</a>.  The reason is simple.  We need a good browser
 230 plugin to play web videos seamlessly, and the VLC browser plugin is
 231 not very good.  For example, it lack in-line control buttons, so there
 232 is no way for the user to pause the video.  Also, when I
 233 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/BrowserMultimedia">last
 234 tested the browser plugins</a> available in Debian, the VLC plugin
 235 failed on several video pages where mplayer based plugins worked.  If
 236 the browser plugin for VLC was as good as the gecko-mediaplayer
 237 package (which uses mplayer), we would switch.</P>
 238
 239 <p>While VLC is a good player, its user interface is slightly
 240 annoying.  The most annoying feature is its inconsistent use of
 241 keyboard shortcuts.  When the player is in full screen mode, its
 242 shortcuts are different from when it is playing the video in a window.
 243 For example, space only work as pause when in full screen mode.  I
 244 wish it had consisten shortcuts and that space also would work when in
 245 window mode.  Another nice shortcut in gmplayer is [enter] to restart
 246 the current video.  It is very nice when playing short videos from the
 247 web and want to restart it when new people arrive to have a look at
 248 what is going on.</p>

 264 <p>Jeg registrerer med vond smak i munnen at Den Norske Dataforening

 266 href="http://www.dataforeningen.no/hedret-med-rosingprisen.4849070-133913.html">hedrer

 268 er glad jeg nå er meldt ut av DND.</p>
 269
 270 <p>Å elektronisk overvåke sine barn er ikke å gjøre dem en tjeneste,
 271 men et overgrep mot individer i utvikling som bør læres opp til å ta
 272 egne valg.</p>
 273
 274 <p>For å sitere Datatilsynets nye leder, Bjørn Erik Thon, i
 275 <a href="http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article174262.ece">et intervju
 276 med Computerworld Norge</A>:</p>
 277
 278 <p><blockquote>
 279 - For alle som har barn, meg selv inkludert, er førstetanken at det
 280 hadde vært fint å vite hvor barnet sitt er til enhver tid. Men ungene
 281 har ikke godt av det. De er små individer som skal søke rundt og finne
 282 sine små gjemmesteder og utvide horisonten, uten at foreldrene ser dem
 283 i kortene. Det kan være fristende, men jeg ville ikke gått inn i
 284 dette.
 285 </blockquote></p>
 286
 287 <p>Det er skremmende å se at DND mener en tjeneste som legger opp til
 288 slike overgrep bør hedres.  Å flytte oppveksten for barn inn i en
 289 virtuell
 290 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon">Panopticon</a> er et
 291 grovt overgrep og vil gjøre skade på barnenes utvikling, og foreldre
 292 burde tenke seg godt om før de gir etter for sine instinkter her.</p>
 293
 294 <p>Blipper-tjenesten får meg til å tenke på bøkene til
 295 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Twelve_Hawks">John Twelve
 296 Hawks</a>, som forbilledlig beskriver hvordan et totalitært
 297 overvåkningssamfunn bygges sakte men sikkert rundt oss, satt sammen av
 298 gode intensjoner og manglende bevissthet om hvilke prinsipper et
 299 liberalt demokrati er fundamentert på.  Jeg har hatt stor glede av å
 300 lese alle de tre bøkene.</p>

 749 <p>Running apt-get autoremove made the results using apt-get and
 750 aptitude a bit more similar, but there are still quite a lott of
 751 differences.  I have no idea what packages should be installed after
 752 the upgrade, but hope those that do can have a look.</p>

 768 <p>Most of the computers in use by the
 769 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu/Skolelinux project</a>
 770 are virtual machines.  And they have been Xen machines running on a
 771 fairly old IBM eserver xseries 345 machine, and we wanted to migrate
 772 them to KVM on a newer Dell PowerEdge 2950 host machine.  This was a
 773 bit harder that it could have been, because we set up the Xen virtual
 774 machines to get the virtual partitions from LVM, which as far as I
 775 know is not supported by KVM.  So to migrate, we had to convert
 776 several LVM logical volumes to partitions on a virtual disk file.</p>
 777
 778 <p>I found
 779 <a href="http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com.au/articles/35011-Six-steps-for-migrating-Xen-virtual-machines-to-KVM">a
 780 nice recipe</a> to do this, and wrote the following script to do the
 781 migration.  It uses qemu-img from the qemu package to make the disk
 782 image, parted to partition it, losetup and kpartx to present the disk
 783 image partions as devices, and dd to copy the data.  I NFS mounted the
 784 new servers storage area on the old server to do the migration.</p>

 833 <p>The script is perhaps so simple that it is not copyrightable, but
 834 if it is, it is licenced using GPL v2 or later at your discretion.</p>
 835
 836 <p>After doing this, I booted a Debian CD in rescue mode in KVM with
 837 the new disk image attached, installed grub-pc and linux-image-686 and
 838 set up grub to boot from the disk image.  After this, the KVM machines
 839 seem to work just fine.</p>

1083 <p>Answering
1084 <a href="http://www.listware.net/201011/gnash-dev/67431-gnash-dev-buildbot-looking-for-slaves.html">the
1085 call from the Gnash project</a> for
1086 <a href="http://www.gnashdev.org:8010">buildbot</a> slaves to test the
1087 current source, I have set up a virtual KVM machine on the Debian
1088 Edu/Skolelinux virtualization host to test the git source on
1089 Debian/Squeeze.  I hope this can help the developers in getting new
1090 releases out more often.</p>
1091
1092 <p>As the developers want less main-stream build platforms tested to,
1093 I have considered setting up a <a
1094 href="http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/">Debian/kfreebsd</a>
1095 machine as well.  I have also considered using the kfreebsd
1096 architecture in Debian as a file server in NUUG to get access to the 5
1097 TB zfs volume we currently use to store DV video.  Because of this, I
1098 finally got around to do a test installation of Debian/Squeeze with
1099 kfreebsd.  Installation went fairly smooth, thought I noticed some
1100 visual glitches in the cdebconf dialogs (black cursor left on the
1101 screen at random locations).  Have not gotten very far with the
1102 testing.  Noticed cfdisk did not work, but fdisk did so it was not a
1103 fatal problem.  Have to spend some more time on it to see if it is
1104 useful as a file server for NUUG.  Will try to find time to set up a
1105 gnash buildbot slave on the Debian Edu/Skolelinux this weekend.</p>
