  32         <p>I fjor sommer lagde jeg en
  33 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/SQL_database_med_anbud_publisert_p__Doffin.html">offentlig
  34 tilgjengelig SQL-database over offentlig anbud</a> basert på skraping
  35 av HTML-data fra Doffin.  Den har stått og gått siden da, og har nå
  36 ca. 28000 oppføringer.  Jeg oppdaget da jeg tittet innom at noen
  37 oppføringer var ikke blitt med, antagelig på grunn av at de fikk
  38 tildelt sekvensnummer i Doffin en godt stund før de ble publisert,
  39 slik at min nettsideskraper som fortsatte skrapingen der den slapp
  40 sist ikke fikk dem med seg.  Jeg har fikset litt slik at skraperen nå
  41 ser litt tilbake i tid for å se om den har gått glipp av noen
  42 oppføringer, og har skrapet på nytt fra midten av september 2013 og
  43 fremover.  Det bør dermed bli en mer komplett database for kommende
  44 måneder.  Hvis jeg får tid skal jeg forsøke å skrape "glemte" data fra
  45 før midten av september 2013, men tør ikke garantere at det blir
  46 prioritert med det første. </p>
  47
  48 <p>Men målet med denne bloggposten er å vise hvordan denne
  49 Doffin-databasen kan brukes og integreres med en RSS-leser, slik at en
  50 kan la datamaskinen holde et øye med Doffin-annonseringer etter
  51 nøkkelord.  En kan lage sitt eget søk ved å besøke
  52 <ahref="https://classic.scraperwiki.com/docs/api?name=norwegian-doffin#sqlite">API-et
  53 hos Scraperwiki</a>, velge format rss2 og så legge inn noe ala dette i
  54 "query in SQL":</p>
  55
  56 <p><pre>
  57 select title, scrapedurl as link, abstract as description,
  58        publishdate as pubDate from 'swdata'
  59    where abstract like '%linux%' or title like '%linux%'
  60    order by seq desc limit 20
  61 </pre></p>
  62
  63 <p>Dette vil søke opp alle anbud med ordet linux i oppsummering eller
  64 tittel.  En kan lage mer avanserte søk hvis en ønsker det.  URL-en som
  65 dukker opp nederst på siden kan en så gi til sin RSS-leser (jeg bruker
  66 akregator selv), og så automatisk få beskjed hvis det dukker opp anbud
  67 med det aktuelle nøkkelordet i teksten.  Merk at kapasiteten og
  68 ytelsen hos Scraperwiki er begrenset, så ikke be RSS-leseren hente ned
  69 oftere enn en gang hver dag.</p>
  70
  71 <p>Du lurer kanskje på hva slags informasjon en kan få ut fra denne
  72 databasen.  Her er to RSS-kilder, med søkeordet
  73 "<a href="https://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/sqlite?format=rss2&name=norwegian-doffin&query=select%20title%2C%20scrapedurl%20as%20link%2C%20abstract%20as%20description%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20publishdate%20as%20pubDate%20from%20'swdata'%0A%20%20%20where%20abstract%20like%20'%25linux%25'%20or%20title%20like%20'%25linux%25'%0A%20%20%20order%20by%20seq%20desc%20limit%2020">linux</a>",

  77 og søkeordet

  79 Det er bare å søke på det en er interessert i.  Kopier gjerne
  80 datasettet og sett opp din egen tjeneste hvis du vil gjøre mer
  81 avanserte søk.  SQLite-filen med Doffin-oppføringer kan lastes med fra
  82 Scraperwiki for de som vil grave dypere.</p>

 103         Drones, flying robots, are getting more and more popular.  The most
 104 know ones are the killer drones used by some government to murder
 105 people they do not like without giving them the chance of a fair
 106 trial, but the technology have many good uses too, from mapping and
 107 forest maintenance to photography and search and rescue.  I am sure it
 108 is just a question of time before "bad drones" are in the hands of
 109 private enterprises and not only state criminals but petty criminals
 110 too.  The drone technology is very useful and very dangerous.  To have
 111 some control over the use of drones, I agree with Daniel Suarez in his
 112 TED talk
 113 "<a href="https://archive.org/details/DanielSuarez_2013G">The kill
 114 decision shouldn't belong to a robot</a>", where he suggested this
 115 little gem to keep the good while limiting the bad use of drones:</p>
 116
 117 <blockquote>
 118
 119 <p>Each robot and drone should have a cryptographically signed
 120 I.D. burned in at the factory that can be used to track its movement
 121 through public spaces. We have license plates on cars, tail numbers on
 122 aircraft. This is no different. And every citizen should be able to
 123 download an app that shows the population of drones and autonomous
 124 vehicles moving through public spaces around them, both right now and
 125 historically. And civic leaders should deploy sensors and civic drones
 126 to detect rogue drones, and instead of sending killer drones of their
 127 own up to shoot them down, they should notify humans to their
 128 presence. And in certain very high-security areas, perhaps civic
 129 drones would snare them and drag them off to a bomb disposal facility.</p>
 130
 131 <p>But notice, this is more an immune system than a weapons system. It
 132 would allow us to avail ourselves of the use of autonomous vehicles
 133 and drones while still preserving our open, civil society.</p>
 134
 135 </blockquote>
 136
 137 <p>The key is that <em>every citizen</em> should be able to read the
 138 radio beacons sent from the drones in the area, to be able to check
 139 both the government and others use of drones.  For such control to be
 140 effective, everyone must be able to do it.  What should such beacon
 141 contain?  At least formal owner, purpose, contact information and GPS
 142 location.  Probably also the origin and target position of the current
 143 flight.  And perhaps some registration number to be able to look up
 144 the drone in a central database tracking their movement.  Robots
 145 should not have privacy.  It is people who need privacy.</p>

 173 locations plotted on the map</a>, but we will need more before we have
 174 a connected mesh spread across Oslo.  If this sound interesting to
 175 you, please join us at the workshop.  If you are too impatient to wait
 176 15 days, please join us on the IRC channel

 199         <p>Continuing my research into mesh networking, I was recommended to
 200 use TP-Link 3040 and 3600 access points as mesh nodes, and the pair I
 201 bought arrived on Friday.  Here are my notes on how to set up the
 202 MR3040 as a mesh node using
 203 <a href="http://www.openwrt.org/">OpenWrt</a>.</p>
 204
 205 <p>I started by following the instructions on the OpenWRT wiki for
 206 <a href="http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3040">TL-MR3040</a>,
 207 and downloaded
 208 <a href="http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin">the
 209 recommended firmware image</a>
 210 (openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin) and
 211 uploaded it into the original web interface.  The flashing went fine,
 212 and the machine was available via telnet on the ethernet port.  After
 213 logging in and setting the root password, ssh was available and I
 214 could start to set it up as a batman-adv mesh node.</p>
 215
 216 <p>I started off by reading the instructions from
 217 <a href="http://wirelessafrica.meraka.org.za/wiki/index.php?title=Antoine's_Research">Wireless
 218 Africa</a>, which had quite a lot of useful information, but
 219 eventually I followed the recipe from the Open Mesh wiki for
 220 <a href="http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Batman-adv-openwrt-config">using
 221 batman-adv on OpenWrt</a>.  A small snag was the fact that the
 222 <tt>opkg install kmod-batman-adv</tt> command did not work as it
 223 should.  The batman-adv kernel module would fail to load because its
 224 dependency crc16 was not already loaded.  I
 225 <a href="https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/14452">reported the bug</a> to
 226 the openwrt project and hope it will be fixed soon.  But the problem
 227 only seem to affect initial testing of batman-adv, as configuration
 228 seem to work when booting from scratch.</p>
 229
 230 <p>The setup is done using files in /etc/config/.  I did not bridge
 231 the Ethernet and mesh interfaces this time, to be able to hook up the
 232 box on my local network and log into it for configuration updates.
 233 The following files were changed and look like this after modifying
 234 them:</p>

 339 init.d scripts</a>, I doubt we need to switch away from sysvinit and
 340 init.d scripts at all.  Here is an example init.d script, ie a rewrite
 341 of /etc/init.d/rsyslog:</p>

 361 <p>Pretty minimalistic to me... For the record, the original sysv-rc
 362 script was 137 lines, and the above is just 15 lines, most of it meta
 363 info/comments.</p>
 364
 365 <p>How to do this, you ask?  Well, one create a new script
 366 /lib/init/init-d-script looking something like this:

 518 <p>It is based on /etc/init.d/skeleton, and could be improved quite a
 519 lot.  I did not really polish the approach, so it might not always
 520 work out of the box, but you get the idea.  I did not try very hard to
 521 optimize it nor make it more robust either.</p>
 522
 523 <p>A better argument for switching init system in Debian than reducing
 524 the size of init scripts (which is a good thing to do anyway), is to
 525 get boot system that is able to handle the kernel events sensibly and
 526 robustly, and do not depend on the boot to run sequentially.  The boot
 527 and the kernel have not behaved sequentially in years.</p>

 549 remote display access is the preferred solution with oVirt and RedHat
 550 Enterprise Virtualization, and I was sad to discover the other day
 551 that the browser plugin needed to use these systems seamlessly was
 552 missing in Debian.  The <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/668284">request
 553 for a package</a> was from 2012-04-10 with no progress since
 554 2013-04-01, so I decided to wrap up a package based on the great work
 555 from Cajus Pollmeier and put it in a collab-maint maintained git
 556 repository to get a package I could use.  I would very much like
 557 others to help me maintain the package (or just take over, I do not
 558 mind), but as no-one had volunteered so far, I just uploaded it to
 559 NEW.  I hope it will be available in Debian in a few days.</p>
