                <description>&lt;p&gt;Back in oktober last year, when I started looking at the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxCNC&quot;&gt;LinuxCNC&lt;/a&gt; system, I
proposed to change the documentation build system make life easier for
translators.  The original system consisted of independently written
documentation files for each language, with no automated way to track
changes done in other translations and no help for the translators to
know how much was left to translated.  By using
&lt;a href=&quot;https://po4a.org/&quot;&gt;the po4a system&lt;/a&gt; to generate POT and PO
files from the English documentation, this can be improved.  A small
team of LinuxCNC contributors got together and today our labour
finally payed off.  Since a few hours ago, it is now possible to
translate &lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/linuxcnc/&quot;&gt;the
LinuxCNC documentation on Weblate&lt;/a&gt;, alongside the program itself.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The effort to migrate the documentation to use po4a has been both
slow and frustrating.  I am very happy we finally made it.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I wanted to upgrade the firmware of my thinkpad, and
located the firmware download page from Lenovo (which annoyingly do
not allow access via Tor, forcing me to hand them more personal
information that I would like).  The
&lt;a href=&quot;https://support.lenovo.com/no/en/search?query=thinkpad firmware bios upgrade iso&amp;SearchType=Customer search&amp;searchLocation=Masthead&quot;&gt;download
from Lenovo&lt;/a&gt; is a bootable ISO image, which is a bit of a problem
when all I got available is a USB memory stick.  I tried booting the
ISO as a USB stick, but this did not work.  But genisoimage came to
the rescue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;The geteltorito program in
&lt;a href=&quot;http://tracker.debian.org/cdrkit&quot;&gt;the genisoimage binary
package&lt;/a&gt; is able to convert the bootable ISO image to a bootable
USB stick using a simple command line recipe, which I then can write
to the most recently inserted USB stick:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
geteltorito -o usbstick.img lenovo-firmware.iso
sudo dd bs=10M if=usbstick.img of=$(ls -tr /dev/sd?|tail -1)
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This USB stick booted the firmware upgrader just fine, and in a few
minutes my machine had the latest and greatest BIOS firmware in place.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Playing and encoding AV1 in Debian Bullseye</title>
                <link>https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Playing_and_encoding_AV1_in_Debian_Bullseye.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Playing_and_encoding_AV1_in_Debian_Bullseye.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sat, 16 Apr 2022 08:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Inspired by the recent news of
&lt;a href=&quot;https://slashdot.org/story/22/04/03/2039219/intel-beats-amd-and-nvidia-with-arc-gpus-full-av1-support&quot;&gt;AV1
hardware encoding support from Intel&lt;/a&gt;, I decided to look into
the state of AV1 on Linux today.  AV1 is a
&lt;a href=&quot;https://web.archive.org/web/20160618103850/http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition&quot;&gt;free
and open standard&lt;/a&gt; as defined by Digistan without any royalty
payment requirement, unlike its much used competitor encoding
H.264.  While looking, I came across an 5 year
&lt;a href=&quot;https://askubuntu.com/questions/1061908/how-to-encode-and-playback-video-with-the-av1-codec-on-bionic-beaver-18-04&quot;&gt;old
question on askubuntu.com&lt;/a&gt; which in turn inspired me to check out
how things are in Debian Stable regarding AV1.  The test file listed
in the question (askubuntu_test_aom.mp4) did not exist any more, so I
tracked down a different set of test files on
&lt;a href=&quot;https://av1.webmfiles.org/&quot;&gt;av1.webmfiles.org&lt;/a&gt; to test them
with the various video tools I had installed on my machine.  I was
happy to discover that AV1 decoding and playback worked with almost
every tool I tested:

&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;mediainfo&lt;/td&gt;       &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;dragonplayer&lt;/td&gt;    &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;ffmpeg / ffplay&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;gnome-mplayer&lt;/td&gt;   &lt;td&gt;fail&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;mplayer&lt;/td&gt;       &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;mpv&lt;/td&gt;           &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;parole&lt;/td&gt;        &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;vlc&lt;/td&gt;           &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;firefox&lt;/td&gt;         &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;chromium&lt;/td&gt;        &lt;td&gt;ok&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AV1 encoding is available in Debian Stable from the aom-tools
version 1.0.0.errata1-3 package, using the aomenc tool.  The encoding
using the package in Debian Stable is quite slow, with the frame rate
for my 10 second test video at around 0.25 fps.  My 10 second video
test took 16 minutes and 11 seconds on my test machine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I tested by first running ffmpeg and then aomenc using the recipe
provided by the askubuntu recipe above.  I had to remove the
&#39;--row-mt=1&#39; option, as it was not supported in my 1.0.0 version.  The
encoding only used a single thread, according to &lt;tt&gt;top&lt;/tt&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
ffmpeg -i some-old-video.ogv -t 10 -pix_fmt yuv420p video.y4m
aomenc --fps=24/1 -u 0 --codec=av1 --target-bitrate=1000 \
  --lag-in-frames=25 --auto-alt-ref=1 -t 24 --cpu-used=8 \
  --tile-columns=2 --tile-rows=2 -o output.webm video.y4m
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As version 1.0.0 currently have several
&lt;a href=&quot;https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/aom&quot;&gt;unsolved
security issues in Debian Stable&lt;/a&gt;, and to see if the recent
backport &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/aom&quot;&gt;provided in
Debian&lt;/a&gt; is any quicker, I ran &lt;tt&gt;apt -t bullseye-backports install
aom-tools&lt;/tt&gt; to fetch the backported version and re-encoded the
video using the latest version.  This time the &#39;--row-mt=1&#39; option
worked, and the encoding was done in 46 seconds with a frame rate of
around 5.22 fps.  This time it seem to be using all my four cores to
encode.  Encoding speed is still too low for streaming and real time,
which would require frame rates above 25 fps, but might be good enough
for offline encoding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am very happy to see AV1 playback working so well with the
default tools in Debian Stable.  I hope the encoding situation improve
too, allowing even a slow old computer like my 10 year old laptop to
be used for encoding.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;På onsdag sendte jeg følgende epost til Utdanningsetaten i Oslo
kommune (UDE).  Fikk beskjed om at min henvendelse har saksnummer
22/7559-1 i den
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.oslo.kommune.no/etater-foretak-og-ombud/utdanningsetaten/postjournal-utdanningsetaten/&quot;&gt;offentlige
postjournalen til UDE&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg er spent på hva slags respons jeg får.
Mistenker jo de fleste som sprer sine nettsideleseres
personopplysninger til utlandet ikke har tenkt så nøye igjennom hva de
gjør, og at det er håp om at de tenker seg litt nøyere om hvis de blir
klar over problemstillingen.  Vet du noen som burde få tilsvarede
beskjed og spørsmål?  Kanskje du kan sende dem en epost.  Hvis alle
bidrar blir det kanskje litt bedre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To: postmottak (at) osloskolen.no
&lt;br&gt;Subject: Digitale utslipp fra osloskolens nettsider&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hei.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jeg ser at osloskolens nettsider har digitale utslipp av
personopplysninger til Google, Facebook og andre, blant annet omtalt
på &amp;lt;URL: &lt;a href=&quot;https://aktuelt.osloskolen.no/personvernerklaring-for-osloskolen/informasjonskapsler/&quot;&gt;https://aktuelt.osloskolen.no/personvernerklaring-for-osloskolen/informasjonskapsler/&lt;/a&gt;
&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;URL: &lt;a href=&quot;https://webbkoll.dataskydd.net/&quot;&gt;https://webbkoll.dataskydd.net/&lt;/a&gt; &gt; kan være et nyttig verktøy for å holde øye med utslippsomfanget på ulike sider.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kanskje det er en ide å gjøre noe med det, jamfør &amp;lt;URL: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.digi.no/artikler/debatt-det-enkleste-tiltaket-er-a-skru-av-google-analytics/517378&quot;&gt;https://www.digi.no/artikler/debatt-det-enkleste-tiltaket-er-a-skru-av-google-analytics/517378&lt;/a&gt; &gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Et alternativ til Google Analytics kan være en lokalt installert
utgave av &amp;lt;URL:
&lt;a href=&quot;https://matomo.org/&quot;&gt;https://matomo.org/&lt;/a&gt; &gt;.  Den og flere
andre alternativer kan finnes via
&amp;lt;URL: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.digi.no/artikler/sverige-vil-skrote-amerikansk-skytjeneste-her-er-alternativene/516223?key=5QsV0wRG&quot;&gt;https://www.digi.no/artikler/sverige-vil-skrote-amerikansk-skytjeneste-her-er-alternativene/516223?key=5QsV0wRG&lt;/a&gt; &gt;
på bakgrunn av at svenske myndigheter har innsett at dagens praksis
nok er både lite lur og ulovlig.  Der henger Norge litt etter, men
osloskolen har her mulighet til å være litt i forkant. :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fint om dere kan gi beskjed hvilket saksnummer denne henvendelsen får i
offentlig postjournal når den er mottatt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;Flere og flere innser at slik spredning av personopplysninger er
ugreit.  Det har pågått i mange år.  Ser jeg blogget
&lt;a href=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Det_er_jo_makta_som_er_mest_s_rbar_ved_massiv_overv_kning_av_Internett.html&quot;&gt;første
gang om Google Analytics i 2013&lt;/a&gt; og
&lt;a href=&quot;https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Snurpenot_overv_kning_av_sensitiv_personinformasjon.html&quot;&gt;analyserte
omfanget i 2015&lt;/a&gt;, men det er et langt lerret å bleke.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
til min adresse
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.
Merk, betaling med bitcoin er ikke anonymt. :)&lt;/p&gt;

                <pubDate>Sat, 12 Mar 2022 06:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I had a look at a
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hargassner.at/&quot;&gt;Hargassner&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hargassner.at/en/products/wood-chip-boiler.html&quot;&gt;wood
chip boiler&lt;/a&gt;, and what kind of free software can be used to monitor
and control it.  The boiler can be connected to some cloud service via
what the producer call an Internet Gateway, which seem to be a
computer connecting to the boiler and passing the information gathered
to the cloud.  I discovered the boiler controller got an IP address on
the local network and listen on TCP port 23 to provide status
information as a text line of numbers.  It also provide a HTTP server
listening on port 80, but I have not yet figured out what it can do
beside return an error code.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If I am to believe various free software implementations talking to
such boiler, the interpretation of the line of numbers differ between
type of boiler and software version on the boiler.  By comparing the
list of numbers on the front panel of the boiler with the numbers
returned via TCP, I have been able to figure out several of the
numbers, but there are a lot left to understand.  I&#39;ve located several
temperature measurements and hours running values, as well as oxygen
measurements and counters.&lt;/p&gt;

I decided to write a simple parser in Python for the values I figured
out so far, and a simple MQTT injector publishing both the interpreted
and the unknown values on a MQTT bus to make collecting and graphing
simpler.  The end result is available from the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/petterreinholdtsen/hargassner2mqtt&quot;&gt;hargassner2mqtt
project page&lt;/a&gt; on gitlab.  I very much welcome patches extending the
parser to understand more values, boiler types and software versions.
I do not really expect very few free software developers got their
hands on such unit to experiment, but it would be fun if others too find
this project useful.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;After many months of hard work by the good people involved in
&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxCNC&quot;&gt;LinuxCNC&lt;/a&gt;, the
system was accepted Sunday
&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/linuxcnc&quot;&gt;into Debian&lt;/a&gt;.
Once it was available from Debian, I was surprised to discover from
&lt;a href=&quot;https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=linuxcnc&quot;&gt;its
popularity-contest numbers&lt;/a&gt; that people have been reporting its use
since 2012.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://linuxcnc.org/&quot;&gt;Its project site&lt;/a&gt; might
be a good place to check out, but sadly is not working when visiting
via Tor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But what is LinuxCNC, you are probably wondering?  Perhaps a
Wikipedia quote is in place?&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;It can even control 3D printers.  And even though the Wikipedia
page indicate that it can only work with hard real time kernel
features, it can also work with the user space soft real time features
provided by the Debian kernel.
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/linuxcnc/linuxcnc&quot;&gt;The source code&lt;/a&gt; is
available from Github.  The last few months I&#39;ve been involved in the
translation setup for the program and documentation.  Translators are
most welcome to
&lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/linuxcnc/&quot;&gt;join the
effort&lt;/a&gt; using Weblate.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;I am very happy to report that a new version of the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent&quot;&gt;VLC
bittorrent plugin&lt;/a&gt; was just uploaded into debian.  The changes
since last time is mostly code clean in the download code. The package
is currently in Debian unstable, but should be available in Debian
testing son.  To test it, simply install it like this:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
apt install vlc-plugin-bittorrent
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After it is installed, you can try to use it to play a file
downloaded live via bittorrent like this:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
vlc https://archive.org/download/Glass_201703/Glass_201703_archive.torrent
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It can also use magnet links and local .torrent files like the ones
provided by the Internet Archive.  Another example is the &lt;a
href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/LoveNest&quot;&gt;Love Nest&lt;/a&gt; Buster
Keaton movie, where one can click on the &#39;Torrent&#39; link to get going.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, a productive translator started working on a new
translation of &lt;a href=&quot;https://madewith.cc&quot;&gt;the Made with Creative
Commons book&lt;/a&gt; for Brazilian Portuguese.  The translation take place on
&lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/madewithcc/translation/&quot;&gt;the
Weblate web based translation system&lt;/a&gt;.  Once the translation is
complete and proof read, we can publish it on paper as well as in PDF,
ePub and HTML format.  The translation is already 16% complete, and if
more people get involved I am conviced it can very quickly reach 100%.
If you are interested in helping out with this or other translations
of the Made with Creative Commons book, start translating on
Weblate.  There are partial translations available in Azerbaijani,
Bengali, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Polish,
Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Thai and Ukrainian.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://gitlab.com/gunnarwolf/madewithcc-es.git&quot;&gt;git
repository for the book&lt;/a&gt; contain all source files needed to build
the book for yourself.
&lt;a href=&quot;https://gunnarwolf.gitlab.io/madewithcc-es/&quot;&gt;HTML editions&lt;/a&gt;
to help with proof reading is also available.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;The Debian Lego team saw a lot of activity the last few weeks.  All
the packages under the team umbrella has been updated to fix
packaging, lintian issues and BTS reports.  In addition, a new and
inspiring team member appeared on both the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-lego-team&quot;&gt;debian-lego-team
Team mailing list&lt;/a&gt; and
&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-lego&quot;&gt;IRC channel
#debian-lego&lt;/a&gt;.  If you are interested in Lego CAD design and LEGO
Mindstorms programming, check out the
&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/LegoDesigners&quot;&gt;team wiki page&lt;/a&gt; to
see what Debian can offer the Lego enthusiast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Patches has been sent upstream, causing new upstream releases, one
even the first one in more than ten years, and old upstreams was
released with new ones.  There are still a lot of work left, and the
team welcome more members to help us make sure Debian is the Linux
distribution of choice for Lego builders.  If you want to contribute,
join us in the IRC channel and become part of
&lt;a href=&quot;https://salsa.debian.org/debian-lego-team/&quot;&gt;the team on
Salsa&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Hvilke partier støttet datalagringsdirektivet 2 og 3?</title>
                <link>https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvilke_partier_st_ttet_datalagringsdirektivet_2_og_3_.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvilke_partier_st_ttet_datalagringsdirektivet_2_og_3_.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Fri, 10 Sep 2021 08:35:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Relativt stille har Stortinget den siste perioden vedtatt
&lt;a href=&quot;https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;datalagringsdirektivet&lt;/a&gt; versjon to og tre, og slik økt
overvåkningstrykket på Internett i Norge betraktelig.  Det blir mer og
mer viktig å &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.torproject.org/&quot;&gt;bruke Tor&lt;/a&gt; og
god kryptering for å sikre sin privatsfære på Internett.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Først ut var
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Saker/Sak/?p=79451&quot;&gt;ny
etterretningstjenestelov&lt;/a&gt; vedtatt 2020-06-11, der samtlige partier
på stortinget (Arbeiderpartiet, Fremskrittspartiet, Høyre, Kristelig
Folkeparti, Miljøpartiet De Grønne, Senterpartiet, Sosialistisk
Venstreparti, Venstre og et forhenværende Fremskrittspartimedlem)
unntatt Rødt støttet loven i sin helhet da den ble vedtatt.

&lt;p&gt;Dernest kom
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Saker/Sak/?p=84446&quot;&gt;ny
ekomlov&lt;/a&gt; vedtatt 2021-06-08 med støtte fra Arbeiderpartiet,
Fremskrittspartiet, Høyre, Kristelig Folkeparti, Senterpartiet,
Venstre og et forhenværende Fremskrittspartimedlem mot stemmene fra
Sosialistisk Venstreparti, Miljøpartiet De Grønne og Rødt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Intet parti som støtter slike inngrep i privatsfæren får min støtte
i valg.  Heldigvis er det mange parter også utenfor Stortinget som kan
ha nytte av den økonomiske støtten som følger av hver stemme de får i
stortingsvalget i år, selv om de ikke kommer inn på Stortinget i denne
omgang.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Som et annet målepunkt på hvor mye vern av privatsfæren betyr for
stortingspartiene kan jeg fortelle at ikke et eneste av partiene på
Stortinget har besvart
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hva_mener_partiene_om_vern_av_privatsf_ren_og_sporing_av_befolkningen_.html&quot;&gt;brevet
med spørsmål rundt vern av privatsfæren&lt;/a&gt; som de fikk i sommer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hva som er problemet med datalagringsdirektivet,
anbefaler jeg å lese &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84&quot;&gt;artiklene
fra Jon Wessel-Aas&lt;/a&gt; om temaet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
til min adresse
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.
Merk, betaling med bitcoin er ikke anonymt. :)&lt;/p&gt;
