  25       <div class="body"><p>I just donated to the
  26 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">NUUG defence
  27 "fond"</a> to fund the effort in Norway to get the seizure of the news
  28 site popcorn-time.no tested in court.  I hope everyone that agree with
  29 me will do the same.</p>
  30
  31 <p>Would you be worried if you knew the police in your country could
  32 hijack DNS domains of news sites covering free software system without
  33 talking to a judge first?  I am.  What if the free software system
  34 combined search engine lookups, bittorrent downloads and video playout
  35 and was called Popcorn Time?  Would that affect your view?  It still
  36 make me worried.</p>
  37
  38 <p>In March 2016, the Norwegian police seized (as in forced NORID to
  39 change the IP address pointed to by it to one controlled by the
  40 police) the DNS domain popcorn-time.no, without any supervision from
  41 the courts.  I did not know about the web site back then, and assumed
  42 the courts had been involved, and was very surprised when I discovered
  43 that the police had hijacked the DNS domain without asking a judge for
  44 permission first.  I was even more surprised when I had a look at
  45 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://popcorn-time.no">the web
  46 site content on the Internet Archive</A>, and only found news coverage
  47 about Popcorn Time, not any material published without the right
  48 holders permissions.</p>
  49
  50 <p>The seizure was widely covered in the Norwegian press (see for
  51 example <a href="http://www.hegnar.no/Nyheter/Naeringsliv/2016/03/Popcorn-time.no-beslaglagt-av-OEkokrim">Hegnar Online</a> and
  52 <a href="http://itavisen.no/2016/03/08/okokrim-har-beslaglagt-popcorn-time-no/">ITavisen<a/>
  53 and
  54 <a href="http://www.nrk.no/kultur/okokrim-gar-til-aksjon-mot-popcorn-time-1.12842452">NRK</a>),
  55 at first due to the press release sent out by Økokrim, but then based
  56 on
  57 <a href="http://blogg.torvund.net/2016/03/09/okokrims-beslag-i-domenet-popcorn-time-no/">protests
  58 from the law professor Olav Torvund</a> and
  59 <a href="http://www.klassekampen.no/article/20160311/ARTICLE/160319995">lawyer
  60 Jon Wessel-Aas</a>.  It even got some
  61 <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/norwegian-authorities-sued-over-popcorn-time-domain-seizure-160418/">coverage
  62 on TorrentFreak</a>.</p>
  63
  64 <p>I
  65 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/NUUG_contests_Norwegian_police_DNS_seizure_of_popcorn_time_no.html">
  66 wrote about the case a month ago</a>, when the
  67 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User Group</a> (NUUG)
  68 where I am a member decided to ask the courts to test this seizure.
  69 The request was denied, but NUUG and its co-requestor EFN have not
  70 given up, and now they are rallying for support to get the seizure
  71 legally challenged.  They accept both bank and Bitcoin transfer for
  72 those that want to support the request.</p>
  73
  74 <p>If you as me believe news sites about free software should not be
  75 censored, even if the free software have both legal and illegal
  76 applications, and that DNS hijacking should be tested by the courts, I
  77 suggest you <a href="http://www.nuug.no/dns-beslag-donasjon.shtml">show
  78 your support by donating to NUUG</a>.</a>

 119       <div class="body"><p><strong>Where I set out to figure out which multimedia player in
 120 Debian claim support for most file formats.</strong></p>
 121
 122 <p>A few years ago, I had a look at the media support for Browser
 123 plugins in Debian, to get an idea which plugins to include in Debian
 124 Edu.  I created a script to extract the set of supported MIME types
 125 for each plugin, and used this to find out which multimedia browser
 126 plugin supported most file formats / media types.
 127 <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/BrowserMultimedia">The
 128 result</a> can still be seen on the Debian wiki, even though it have
 129 not been updated for a while.  But browser plugins are less relevant
 130 these days, so I thought it was time to look at standalone
 131 players.</p>
 132
 133 <p>A few days ago I was tired of VLC not being listed as a viable
 134 player when I wanted to play videos from the Norwegian National
 135 Broadcasting Company, and decided to investigate why.  The cause is a
 136 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/822245">missing MIME type in the VLC
 137 desktop file</a>.  In the process I wrote a script to compare the set
 138 of MIME types announced in the desktop file and the browser plugin,
 139 only to discover that there is quite a large difference between the
 140 two for VLC.  This discovery made me dig up the script I used to
 141 compare browser plugins, and adjust it to compare desktop files
 142 instead, to try to figure out which multimedia player in Debian
 143 support most file formats.</p>
 144
 145 <p>The result can be seen on the Debian Wiki, as
 146 <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/PlayerSupport">a
 147 table listing all MIME types supported by one of the packages included
 148 in the table</a>, with the package supporting most MIME types being
 149 listed first in the table.</p>
 150
 151 </p>The best multimedia player in Debian?  It is totem, followed by
 152 parole, kplayer, mpv, vlc, smplayer mplayer-gui gnome-mpv and
 153 kmplayer.  Time for the other players to update their announced MIME
 154 support?</p>

 169       <div class="body">A friend of mine made me aware of
 170 <a href="https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/">The Pyra</a>, a
 171 handheld computer which will be delivered with Debian preinstalled.  I
 172 would love to get one of those for my birthday. :)</p>
 173
 174 <p>The machine is a complete ARM-based PC with micro HDMI, SATA, USB
 175 plugs and many others connectors, and include a full keyboard and a 5"
 176 LCD touch screen.  The 6000mAh battery is claimed to provide a whole
 177 day of battery life time, but I have not seen any independent tests
 178 confirming this.  The vendor is still collecting preorders, and the
 179 last I heard last night was that 22 more orders were needed before
 180 production started.</p>
 181
 182 <p>As far as I know, this is the first handheld preinstalled with
 183 Debian.  Please let me know if you know of any others.  Is it the
 184 first computer being sold with Debian preinstalled?</p>

 232 som kildekodepakke og som "pack"-fil som kanskje fortsatt kan brukes
 233 av OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.  Byggesystemet trenger oppussing, men i

 243 <ul>
 244
 245  <li>Rewrite how scripts/speling2words handle tripple consonants, to
 246    avoid importing duplicate words from no.speling.org, and getting
 247    rid of the existing duplicates in norsk.words.</li>
 248  <li>Remove duplicate entries with tripple consonants from norsk.words.</li>
 249  <li>Update frequency for entries in norsk.words based on
 250    <URL:http://helmer.aksis.uib.no/nta/ordlistf.zip> (ran 'make
 251    freq-update').</li>
 252  <li>Correct nn ispell build, avoid crash in munchlist causing lots of
 253    words to fall out of the database.</li>
 254  <li>Use grep -a to convince grep it is working on text files, to work
 255    with newer grep versions.</li>
 256
 257  <li>Remove some words disputed in the no.speling.org review process:
 258    <ul>

 279       <div class="body"><p>I first got to know I.F. Stone when I came across an article by Jon
 280 Schwarz on The Intercept
 281 <a href="https://theintercept.com/2015/05/07/new-documentary-legacy-f-stone/">about
 282 his extraordinary contribution to investigative journalism in
 283 USA</a>. The article is about a new documentary in two parts
 284 (<a href="https://vimeo.com/123974841">part one is 12 minutes</a> and
 285 <a href="https://vimeo.com/123974842">part two is 30 minutes</a>), and
 286 I found both truly fascinating.  It is amazing what he was able to
 287 find by digging up public sources and government papers.  He
 288 documented lots of government abuse and cover ups, and I find
 289 <a href="http://www.ifstone.org/weekly.php">his weekly news letters</a>
 290 inspiring to read even today.</p>
 291
 292 <p><blockquote>
 293 All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.
 294 <br>- I. F. Stone
 295 </blockquote></p>
 296
 297 <p>His starting point was that reporters should not assume governments
 298 and corporations are telling the truth, but verify all their claims as
 299 much as possible.  I wonder how many Norwegian reporters can be said
 300 to follow the principles of I. F. Stone.  They are definitely in short
 301 supply.  If you, like me half a year ago, have never heard of him,
 302 check him out.</p>

 316       <div class="date">12th April 2016</div>
 317       <div class="body"><p>I'm happy to report that
 318 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/culture-libre/paperback/product-22645082.html">the
 319 French paperback edition</a> of
 320 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
 321 project to translate</a> the <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free
 322 Culture</a> book by Lawrence Lessig is now available for sale on
 323 Lulu.com.  Once I have formally verified my proof reading copy, which
 324 should be in the mail, the paperback edition should be available in
 325 book stores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble too.</p>
 326
 327 <p>This French edition, Culture Libre, is the work of the
 328 <a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a> developer Benoît
 329 Guillon, who created the PO file from the initial translation
 330 available from
 331 <a href="http://www.wikilivres.ca/wiki/Culture_libre">the Wikilivres
 332 wiki pages</a> and completed and corrected the translation to match
 333 the original docbook edition my project is using, as well as
 334 coordinated the proof reading of the final result.  I believe the end
 335 result look great, but I am biased and do not read French.  In
 336 addition to the paperback edition, the book is available in PDF, EPUB
 337 and Mobi format from the github project page linked to above.</p>
 338
 339 <p>When enabling book store distribution on Lulu.com, I had to nearly
 340 triple the price to allow the book stores some profit.  I also had to
 341 accept that I will get some revenue when a book is sold via Lulu.com.
 342 But because of the non-commercial clause in the book license
 343 (CC-BY-NC), this might be a problem.  To bypass the problem I
 344 discussed how to handle the revenue with the author, and we agreed
 345 that the revenue for these editions go to the
 346 <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons non-profit
 347 Corporation</a> who handle donations to the Creative Commons project.
 348 So far they have earned around USD 70 on sales of the
 349 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22440520.html">English</a>
 350 and
 351 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html">Norwegian
 352 Bokmål</a> editions, according to Lulu.com.  They will get the revenue
 353 for the French edition too.  Their revenue is higher if you buy the
 354 book directly from Lulu.com instead of via a book store, so I
 355 recommend you buy directly from Lulu.com.</p>
 356
 357 <p>Perhaps you would like to get the book published in your language?
 358 The translation is done using a web based translator service, so the
 359 technical bar to enter is fairly low.  Get in touch if you would like
 360 to make this happen.</p>

 375       <div class="body"><p>During this weekends
 376 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/Oslo__Takk_for_feilfiksingsfesten.shtml">bug
 377 squashing party and developer gathering</a>, we decided to do our part
 378 to make sure there are good books about Debian available in Norwegian
 379 Bokmål, and got in touch with the people behind the
 380 <a href="http://debian-handbook.info/">Debian Administrator's Handbook
 381 project</a> to get started.  If you want to help out, please start
 382 contributing using
 383 <a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/debian-handbook/">the
 384 hosted weblate project page</a>, and get in touch using
 385 <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-handbook-translators">the
 386 translators mailing list</a>.  Please also check out
 387 <a href="https://debian-handbook.info/contribute/">the instructions for
 388 contributors</a>.</p>
 389
 390 <p>The book is already available on paper in English, French and
 391 Japanese, and our goal is to get it available on paper in Norwegian
 392 Bokmål too.  In addition to the paper edition, there are also EPUB and
 393 Mobi versions available.  And there are incomplete translations
 394 available for many more languages.</p>

 408       <div class="date"> 7th April 2016</div>
 409       <div class="body"><p>Just for fun I had a look at the popcon number of ZFS related
 410 packages in Debian, and was quite surprised with what I found.  I use
 411 ZFS myself at home, but did not really expect many others to do so.
 412 But I might be wrong.</p>
 413
 414 <p>According to
 415 <a href="https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=spl-linux">the popcon
 416 results for spl-linux</a>, there are 1019 Debian installations, or
 417 0.53% of the population, with the package installed.  As far as I know
 418 the only use of the spl-linux package is as a support library for ZFS
 419 on Linux, so I use it here as proxy for measuring the number of ZFS
 420 installation on Linux in Debian.  In the kFreeBSD variant of Debian
 421 the ZFS feature is already available, and there
 422 <a href="https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=zfsutils">the popcon
 423 results for zfsutils</a> show 1625 Debian installations or 0.84% of
 424 the population.  So I guess I am not alone in using ZFS on Debian.</p>
 425
 426 <p>But even though the Debian project leader Lucas Nussbaum
 427 <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/04/msg00006.html">announced
 428 in April 2015</a> that the legal obstacles blocking ZFS on Debian were
 429 cleared, the package is still not in Debian.  The package is again in
 430 the NEW queue.  Several uploads have been rejected so far because the
 431 debian/copyright file was incomplete or wrong, but there is no reason
 432 to give up.  The current status can be seen on
 433 <a href="https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-zfsonlinux-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org">the
 434 team status page</a>, and
 435 <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-zfsonlinux/zfs.git">the
 436 source code</a> is available on Alioth.</p>
 437
 438 <p>As I want ZFS to be included in next version of Debian to make sure
 439 my home server can function in the future using only official Debian
 440 packages, and the current blocker is to get the debian/copyright file
 441 accepted by the FTP masters in Debian, I decided a while back to try
 442 to help out the team.  This was the background for my blog post about
 443 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Creating__updating_and_checking_debian_copyright_semi_automatically.html">creating,
 444 updating and checking debian/copyright semi-automatically</a>, and I
 445 used the techniques I explored there to try to find any errors in the
 446 copyright file.  It is not very easy to check every one of the around
 447 2000 files in the source package, but I hope we this time got it
 448 right.  If you want to help out, check out the git source and try to
 449 find missing entries in the debian/copyright file.</p>
