14 <description>&lt;p&gt;Quite regularly, I let my Debian Sid/Unstable chroot stay untouch
15 for a while, and when I need to update it there is not enough free
16 space on the disk for apt to do a normal &#39;apt upgrade&#39;. I normally
17 would resolve the issue by doing &#39;apt install &amp;lt;somepackages&amp;gt;&#39; to
18 upgrade only some of the packages in one batch, until the amount of
19 packages to download fall below the amount of free space available.
20 Today, I had about 500 packages to upgrade, and after a while I got
21 tired of trying to install chunks of packages manually. I concluded
22 that I did not have the spare hours required to complete the task, and
23 decided to see if I could automate it. I came up with this small
24 script which I call &#39;apt-in-chunks&#39;:&lt;/p&gt;
25
26 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
27 #!/bin/sh
28 #
29 # Upgrade packages when the disk is too full to upgrade every
30 # upgradable package in one lump. Fetching packages to upgrade using
31 # apt, and then installing using dpkg, to avoid changing the package
32 # flag for manual/automatic.
33
34 set -e
35
36 ignore() {
37 if [ &quot;$1&quot; ]; then
38 grep -v &quot;$1&quot;
39 else
40 cat
41 fi
42 }
43
44 for p in $(apt list --upgradable | ignore &quot;$@&quot; |cut -d/ -f1 | grep -v &#39;^Listing...&#39;); do
45 echo &quot;Upgrading $p&quot;
46 apt clean
47 apt install --download-only -y $p
48 for f in /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb; do
49 if [ -e &quot;$f&quot; ]; then
50 dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
51 break
52 fi
53 done
54 done
55 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
56
57 &lt;p&gt;The script will extract the list of packages to upgrade, try to
58 download the packages needed to upgrade one package, install the
59 downloaded packages using dpkg. The idea is to upgrade packages
60 without changing the APT mark for the package (ie the one recording of
61 the package was manually requested or pulled in as a dependency). To
62 use it, simply run it as root from the command line. If it fail, try
63 &#39;apt install -f&#39; to clean up the mess and run the script again. This
64 might happen if the new packages conflict with one of the old
65 packages. dpkg is unable to remove, while apt can do this.&lt;/p&gt;
66
67 &lt;p&gt;It take one option, a package to ignore in the list of packages to
68 upgrade. The option to ignore a package is there to be able to skip
69 the packages that are simply too large to unpack. Today this was
70 &#39;ghc&#39;, but I have run into other large packages causing similar
71 problems earlier (like TeX).&lt;/p&gt;

80 <title>The worlds only stone power plant?</title>
81 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_worlds_only_stone_power_plant_.html</link>

84 <description>&lt;p&gt;So far, at least hydro-electric power, coal power, wind power,
85 solar power, and wood power are well known. Until a few days ago, I
86 had never heard of stone power. Then I learn about a quarry in a
87 mountain in
88 &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremanger&quot;&gt;Bremanger&lt;/a&gt; i
89 Norway, where
90 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/&quot;&gt;the
91 Bremanger Quarry&lt;/a&gt; company is extracting stone and dumping the stone
92 into a shaft leading to its shipping harbour. This downward movement
93 in this shaft is used to produce electricity. In short, it is using
94 falling rocks instead of falling water to produce electricity, and
95 according to its own statements it is producing more power than it is
96 using, and selling the surplus electricity to the Norwegian power
97 grid. I find the concept truly amazing. Is this the worlds only
98 stone power plant?&lt;/p&gt;

107 <title>Add-on to control the projector from within Kodi</title>
108 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Add_on_to_control_the_projector_from_within_Kodi.html</link>
109 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Add_on_to_control_the_projector_from_within_Kodi.html</guid>
110 <pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2018 23:55:00 +0200</pubDate>
111 <description>&lt;p&gt;My movie playing setup involve &lt;a href=&quot;https://kodi.tv/&quot;&gt;Kodi&lt;/a&gt;,
112 &lt;a href=&quot;https://openelec.tv&quot;&gt;OpenELEC&lt;/a&gt; (probably soon to be
113 replaced with &lt;a href=&quot;https://libreelec.tv/&quot;&gt;LibreELEC&lt;/a&gt;) and an
114 Infocus IN76 video projector. My projector can be controlled via both
115 a infrared remote controller, and a RS-232 serial line. The vendor of
116 my projector, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.infocus.com/&quot;&gt;InFocus&lt;/a&gt;, had been
117 sensible enough to document the serial protocol in its user manual, so
118 it is easily available, and I used it some years ago to write
119 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/infocus-projector-control&quot;&gt;a
120 small script to control the projector&lt;/a&gt;. For a while now, I longed
121 for a setup where the projector was controlled by Kodi, for example in
122 such a way that when the screen saver went on, the projector was
123 turned off, and when the screen saver exited, the projector was turned
124 on again.&lt;/p&gt;
125
126 &lt;p&gt;A few days ago, with very good help from parts of my family, I
127 managed to find a Kodi Add-on for controlling a Epson projector, and
128 got in touch with its author to see if we could join forces and make a
129 Add-on with support for several projectors. To my pleasure, he was
130 positive to the idea, and we set out to add InFocus support to his
131 add-on, and make the add-on suitable for the official Kodi add-on
132 repository.&lt;/p&gt;
133
134 &lt;p&gt;The Add-on is now working (for me, at least), with a few minor
135 adjustments. The most important change I do relative to the master
136 branch in the github repository is embedding the
137 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial&quot;&gt;pyserial module&lt;/a&gt; in
138 the add-on. The long term solution is to make a &quot;script&quot; type
139 pyserial module for Kodi, that can be pulled in as a dependency in
140 Kodi. But until that in place, I embed it.&lt;/p&gt;
141
142 &lt;p&gt;The add-on can be configured to turn on the projector when Kodi
143 starts, off when Kodi stops as well as turn the projector off when the
144 screensaver start and on when the screesaver stops. It can also be
145 told to set the projector source when turning on the projector.
146
147 &lt;p&gt;If this sound interesting to you, check out
148 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/fredrik-eriksson/kodi_projcontrol&quot;&gt;the
149 project github repository&lt;/a&gt;. Perhaps you can send patches to
150 support your projector too? As soon as we find time to wrap up the
151 latest changes, it should be available for easy installation using any
152 Kodi instance.&lt;/p&gt;
153
154 &lt;p&gt;For future improvements, I would like to add projector model
155 detection and the ability to adjust the brightness level of the
156 projector from within Kodi. We also need to figure out how to handle
157 the cooling period of the projector. My projector refuses to turn on
158 for 60 seconds after it was turned off. This is not handled well by
159 the add-on at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;

168 <title>youtube-dl for nedlasting fra NRK med undertekster - nice free software</title>

172 <description>&lt;p&gt;I &lt;a href=&quot;https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS&quot;&gt;VHS-kassettenes&lt;/a&gt;
173 tid var det rett frem å ta vare på et TV-program en ønsket å kunne se
174 senere, uten å være avhengig av at programmet ble sendt på nytt.
175 Kanskje ønsket en å se programmet på hytten der det ikke var
176 TV-signal, eller av andre grunner ha det tilgjengelig for fremtidig
177 fornøyelse. Dette er blitt vanskeligere med introduksjon av
178 digital-TV og webstreaming, der opptak til harddisk er utenfor de
179 flestes kontroll hvis de bruker ufri programvare og bokser kontrollert
180 av andre. Men for NRK her i Norge, finnes det heldigvis flere fri
181 programvare-alternativer, som jeg har
182 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK.html&quot;&gt;skrevet&lt;/a&gt;
183 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK_med_den__nye__l_sningen.html&quot;&gt;om&lt;/a&gt;
184 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Nedlasting_fra_NRK__som_Matroska_med_undertekster.html&quot;&gt;før&lt;/a&gt;.
185 Så lenge kilden for nedlastingen er lovlig lagt ut på nett (hvilket
186 jeg antar NRK gjør), så er slik lagring til privat bruk også lovlig i
187 Norge.&lt;/p&gt;
188
189 &lt;p&gt;Sist jeg så på saken, i 2016, nevnte jeg at
190 &lt;a href=&quot;https://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/&quot;&gt;youtube-dl&lt;/a&gt; ikke kunne
191 bake undertekster fra NRK inn i videofilene, og at jeg derfor
192 foretrakk andre alternativer. Nylig oppdaget jeg at dette har endret
193 seg. Fordelen med youtube-dl er at den er tilgjengelig direkte fra
194 Linux-distribusjoner som &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;
195 og &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ubuntu.com/&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;, slik at en slipper å
196 finne ut selv hvordan en skal få dem til å virke.&lt;/p&gt;
197
198 &lt;p&gt;For å laste ned et NRK-innslag med undertekster, og få den norske
199 underteksten pakket inn i videofilen, så kan følgende kommando
200 brukes:&lt;/p&gt;
201
202 &lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
203 youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format ttml \
204 --convert-subtitles srt --embed-subs \
205 https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ramm-ferdig-gaa/MUHU11000316/27-04-2018
206 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
207
208 &lt;p&gt;URL-eksemplet er dagens toppsak på tv.nrk.no. Resultatet er en
209 MP4-fil med filmen og undertekster som kan spilles av med VLC. Merk
210 at VLC ikke viser frem undertekster før du aktiverer dem. For å gjøre
211 det, høyreklikk med musa i fremviservinduet, velg menyvalget for
212 undertekst og så norsk språk. Jeg testet også &#39;--write-auto-sub&#39;,
213 men det kommandolinjeargumentet ser ikke ut til å fungere, så jeg
214 endte opp med settet med argumentlisten over, som jeg fant i en
215 feilrapport i youtube-dl-prosjektets samling over feilrapporter.&lt;/p&gt;
216
217 &lt;p&gt;Denne støtten i youtube-dl gjør det svært enkelt å lagre
218 NRK-innslag, det være seg nyheter, filmer, serier eller dokumentater,
219 for å ha dem tilgjengelig for fremtidig referanse og bruk, uavhengig
220 av hvor lenge innslagene ligger tilgjengelig hos NRK. Så får det ikke
221 hjelpe at NRKs jurister mener at det er
222 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Best___ikke_fortelle_noen_at_streaming_er_nedlasting___.html&quot;&gt;vesensforskjellig
223 å legge tilgjengelig for nedlasting og for streaming&lt;/a&gt;, når det rent
224 teknisk er samme sak.&lt;/p&gt;
225
226 &lt;p&gt;Programmet youtube-dl støtter også en rekke andre nettsteder, se
227 prosjektoversikten for
228 &lt;a href=&quot;http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html&quot;&gt;en
229 komplett liste&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

242 melder i dag at flertallet i Familie- og kulturkomiteen på Stortinget
243 har bestemt seg for å introdusere en ny sensurinfrastruktur i Norge.
244 Fra før har Norge en «frivillig» sensurinfrastruktur basert på
245 DNS-navn, der de største ISP-ene basert på en liste med DNS-navn
246 forgifter DNS-svar og omdirigerer til et annet IP-nummer enn det som
247 ligger i DNS. Nå kommer altså IP-basert omdirigering i tillegg. Når
248 infrastrukturen er på plass, er sensur av IP-adresser redusert et
249 spørsmål om hvilke IP-nummer som skal blokkeres. Listen over
250 IP-adresser vil naturligvis endre seg etter hvert som myndighetene
251 endrer seg. Det er ingen betryggende tanke.&lt;/p&gt;

258 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/En_grunn_til___takke_nei_til_usikker_digital_post.html</guid>
259 <pubDate>Mon, 2 Apr 2018 13:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
260 <description>&lt;p&gt;Brevpost er beskyttet av straffelovens bestemmelse som gjør det
261 kriminelt å åpne andres brev. Dette følger av (ny) straffelovs
262 &lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2005-05-20-28205&quot;&gt;§ 205
263 (Krenkelse av retten til privat kommunikasjon)&lt;/a&gt;, som sier at «Med
264 bot eller fengsel inntil 2 år straffes den som uberettiget ... c)
265 åpner brev eller annen lukket skriftlig meddelelse som er adressert
266 til en annen, eller på annen måte skaffer seg uberettiget tilgang til
267 innholdet.» Dette gjelder såvel postbud som alle andre som har
268 befatning med brevet etter at avsender har befatning med et lukket
269 brev. Tilsvarende står også tidligere utgaver av den norske
270 straffeloven.&lt;/p&gt;
271
272 &lt;p&gt;Når en registrerer seg på usikre digitale postkasseløsningene, som
273 f.eks. Digipost og e-Boks, og slik tar disse i bruk, så gir en de som
274 står bak løsningene tillatelse til å åpne sine brev. Dette er
275 nødvendig for at innholdet i digital post skal kunne vises frem til
276 mottaker via tjenestens websider. Dermed gjelder ikke straffelovens
277 paragraf om forbud mot å åpne brev, da tilgangen ikke lenger er
278 uberettiget. En gir altså fremmede tilgang til å lese sin
279 korrespondanse. I tillegg vil bruk av slike usikre digitale
280 postbokser føre til at det blir registrert når du leser brevene, hvor
281 du befinner deg (vha. tilkoblingens IP-adresse), hvilket utstyr du
282 bruker og en rekke annen personlig informasjon som ikke er
283 tilgjengelig når papirpost brukes. Jeg foretrekker at det er
284 lovmessig beskyttelse av min korrespondanse, som jo inneholder privat
285 og personlig informasjon. Det bidrar til litt bedre vern av personlig
286 integritet i dagens norske samfunn.&lt;/p&gt;

295 <description>&lt;p&gt;The leaders of the worlds have started to congratulate the
296 re-elected Russian head of state, and this causes some criticism. I
297 am though a little fascinated by a comment from USA senator John McCain,
298 &lt;a href=&quot;http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/379339-mccain-rips-trumps-congratulatory-call-to-putin-as-insult-to-russian-people&quot;&gt;sited
299 by The Hill and others&lt;/a&gt;:
300
301 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
302 &lt;p&gt;&quot;An American president does not lead the Free World by
303 congratulating dictators on winning sham elections.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
304 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
305
306 &lt;p&gt;While I totally agree with the senator here, the way the quote is
307 phrased make me suspect that he is unaware of the simple fact that USA
308 have not lead the Free World since at least before its government
309 &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar&quot;&gt;kidnapped a
310 completely innocent Canadian citizen in transit on his way home to
311 Canada via John F. Kennedy International Airport in September 2002 and
312 sent him to be tortured in Syria for a year&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
313
314 &lt;p&gt;USA might be running ahead, but the path they are taking is not the
315 one taken by any Free World.&lt;/p&gt;

320 <title>Facebooks ability to sell your personal information is the real Cambridge Analytica scandal</title>
321 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Facebooks_ability_to_sell_your_personal_information_is_the_real_Cambridge_Analytica_scandal.html</link>
322 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Facebooks_ability_to_sell_your_personal_information_is_the_real_Cambridge_Analytica_scandal.html</guid>
323 <pubDate>Wed, 21 Mar 2018 16:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
324 <description>&lt;p&gt;So, Cambridge Analytica is getting some well deserved criticism for
325 (mis)using information it got from Facebook about 50 million people,
326 mostly in the USA. What I find a bit surprising, is how little
327 criticism Facebook is getting for handing the information over to
328 Cambridge Analytica and others in the first place. And what about the
329 people handing their private and personal information to Facebook?
330 And last, but not least, what about the government offices who are
331 handing information about the visitors of their web pages to Facebook?
332 No-one who looked at the terms of use of Facebook should be surprised
333 that information about peoples interests, political views, personal
334 lifes and whereabouts would be sold by Facebook.&lt;/p&gt;
335
336 &lt;p&gt;What I find to be the real scandal is the fact that Facebook is
337 selling your personal information, not that one of the buyers used it
338 in a way Facebook did not approve when exposed. It is well known that
339 Facebook is selling out their users privacy, but a scandal
340 nevertheless. Of course the information provided to them by Facebook
341 would be misused by one of the parties given access to personal
342 information about the millions of Facebook users. Collected
343 information will be misused sooner or later. The only way to avoid
344 such misuse, is to not collect the information in the first place. If
345 you do not want Facebook to hand out information about yourself for
346 the use and misuse of its customers, do not give Facebook the
347 information.&lt;/p&gt;
348
349 &lt;p&gt;Personally, I would recommend to completely remove your Facebook
350 account, and take back some control of your personal information.
351 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/19/how-to-protect-your-facebook-privacy-or-delete-yourself-completely&quot;&gt;According
352 to The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;, it is a bit hard to find out how to request
353 account removal (and not just &#39;disabling&#39;). You need to
354 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content&quot;&gt;visit
355 a specific Facebook page&lt;/a&gt; and click on &#39;let us know&#39; on that page
356 to get to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account&quot;&gt;the
357 real account deletion screen&lt;/a&gt;. Perhaps something to consider? I
358 would not trust the information to really be deleted (who knows,
359 perhaps NSA, GCHQ and FRA already got a copy), but it might reduce the
360 exposure a bit.&lt;/p&gt;
361
362 &lt;p&gt;If you want to learn more about the capabilities of Cambridge
363 Analytica, I recommend to see the video recording of the one hour talk
364 Paul-Olivier Dehaye gave to &lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt; last april about
365 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20170404-big-data-psychometric/&quot;&gt;
366 Data collection, psychometric profiling and their impact on
367 politics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
368
369 &lt;p&gt;And if you want to communicate with your friends and loved ones,
370 use some end-to-end encrypted method like
371 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.signal.org/&quot;&gt;Signal&lt;/a&gt; or
372 &lt;a href=&quot;https://ring.cx/&quot;&gt;Ring&lt;/a&gt;, and stop sharing your private
373 messages with strangers like Facebook and Google.&lt;/p&gt;

378 <title>H, Ap, Frp og Venstre går for DNA-innsamling av hele befolkningen</title>

382 <description>&lt;p&gt;I går kom det nok et argument for å holde seg unna det norske
383 helsevesenet. Da annonserte et stortingsflertall, bestående av Høyre,
384 Arbeiderpartiet, Fremskrittspartiet og Venstre, at de går inn for å
385 samle inn og lagre DNA-prøver fra hele befolkningen i Norge til evig
386 tid. Endringen gjelder innsamlede blodprøver fra nyfødte i Norge.
387 Det vil dermed ta litt tid før en har hele befolkningen, men det er
388 dit vi havner gitt nok tid. I dag er det nesten hundre prosent
389 oppslutning om undersøkelsen som gjøres like etter fødselen, på
390 bakgrunn av blodprøven det er snakk om å lagre, for å oppdage endel
391 medfødte sykdommer. Blodprøven lagres i dag i inntil seks år.
392 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Publikasjoner/Innstillinger/Stortinget/2017-2018/inns-201718-182l/?all=true&quot;&gt;Stortingets
393 flertallsinnstilling&lt;/a&gt; er at tidsbegrensingen skal fjernes, og mener
394 at tidsubegrenset lagring ikke vil påvirke oppslutningen om
395 undersøkelsen.&lt;/p&gt;
396
397 &lt;p&gt;Datatilsynet har ikke akkurat applaudert forslaget:&lt;/p&gt;
398
399 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
400
401 &lt;p&gt;«Datatilsynet mener forslaget ikke i tilstrekkelig grad
402 synliggjør hvilke etiske og personvernmessige utfordringer som må
403 diskuteres før en etablerer en nasjonal biobank med blodprøver fra
404 hele befolkningen.»&lt;/p&gt;
405
406 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
407
408 &lt;p&gt;Det er flere historier om hvordan innsamlet biologisk materiale har
409 blitt brukt til andre formål enn de ble innsamlet til, og historien om
410 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/Ql0WR/Na-ma-Folkehelsa-slette-uskyldiges-DNA-info&quot;&gt;folkehelseinstituttets
411 lagring på vegne av politiet (Kripos) av innsamlet biologisk materiale
412 og DNA-informasjon i strid med loven&lt;/a&gt; viser at en ikke kan være
413 trygg på at lover og intensjoner beskytter de som blir berørt mot
414 misbruk av slik privat og personlig informasjon.&lt;/p&gt;
415
416 &lt;p&gt;Det er verdt å merke seg at det kan forskes på de innsamlede
417 blodprøvene uten samtykke fra den det gjelder (eller foreldre når det
418 gjelder barn), etter en lovendring for en stund tilbake, med mindre
419 det er sendt inn skjema der en reserverer seg mot forskning uten
420 samtykke. Skjemaet er tilgjengelig fra
421 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fhi.no/arkiv/publikasjoner/for-pasienter-skjema-for-reservasjo/&quot;&gt;folkehelseinstituttets
422 websider&lt;/a&gt;, og jeg anbefaler, uavhengig av denne saken, varmt alle å
423 sende inn skjemaet for å dokumentere hvor mange som ikke synes det er
424 greit å fjerne krav om samtykke.&lt;/p&gt;
425
426 &lt;p&gt;I tillegg bør en kreve destruering av alt biologisk materiale som
427 er samlet inn om en selv, for å redusere eventuelle negative
428 konsekvenser i fremtiden når materialet kommer på avveie eller blir
429 brukt uten samtykke, men det er så vidt jeg vet ikke noe system for
430 dette i dag.&lt;/p&gt;
431

433 det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
434 til min adresse

440 <title>First rough draft Norwegian and Spanish edition of the book Made with Creative Commons</title>

444 <description>&lt;p&gt;I am working on publishing yet another book related to Creative
445 Commons. This time it is a book filled with interviews and histories
446 from those around the globe making a living using Creative
447 Commons.&lt;/p&gt;
448
449 &lt;p&gt;Yesterday, after many months of hard work by several volunteer
450 translators, the first draft of a Norwegian Bokmål edition of the book
451 &lt;a href=&quot;https://madewith.cc&quot;&gt;Made with Creative Commons from 2017&lt;/a&gt;
452 was complete. The Spanish translation is also complete, while the
453 Dutch, Polish, German and Ukraine edition need a lot of work. Get in
454 touch if you want to help make those happen, or would like to
455 translate into your mother tongue.&lt;/p&gt;
456
457 &lt;p&gt;The whole book project started when
458 &lt;a href=&quot;http://gwolf.org/node/4102&quot;&gt;Gunnar Wolf announced&lt;/a&gt; that he
459 was going to make a Spanish edition of the book. I noticed, and
460 offered some input on how to make a book, based on my experience with
461 translating the
462 &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html&quot;&gt;Free
463 Culture&lt;/a&gt; and
464 &lt;a href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/get/#norwegian&quot;&gt;The Debian
465 Administrator&#39;s Handbook&lt;/a&gt; books to Norwegian Bokmål. To make a
466 long story short, we ended up working on a Bokmål edition, and now the
467 first rough translation is complete, thanks to the hard work of
468 Ole-Erik Yrvin, Ingrid Yrvin, Allan Nordhøy and myself. The first
469 proof reading is almost done, and only the second and third proof
470 reading remains. We will also need to translate the 14 figures and
471 create a book cover. Once it is done we will publish the book on
472 paper, as well as in PDF, ePub and possibly Mobi formats.&lt;/p&gt;
473
474 &lt;p&gt;The book itself originates as a manuscript on Google Docs, is
475 downloaded as ODT from there and converted to Markdown using pandoc.
476 The Markdown is modified by a script before is converted to DocBook
477 using pandoc. The DocBook is modified again using a script before it
478 is used to create a Gettext POT file for translators. The translated
479 PO file is then combined with the earlier mentioned DocBook file to
480 create a translated DocBook file, which finally is given to dblatex to
481 create the final PDF. The end result is a set of editions of the
482 manuscript, one English and one for each of the translations.&lt;/p&gt;
483
484 &lt;p&gt;The translation is conducted using
485 &lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/madewithcc/translation/&quot;&gt;the
486 Weblate web based translation system&lt;/a&gt;. Please have a look there
487 and get in touch if you would like to help out with proof
488 reading. :)&lt;/p&gt;
489

491 activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
