</a>
32 <p>The
<a href=
"https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">Freedombox
33 project
</a> is working on providing the software and hardware to make
34 it easy for non-technical people to host their data and communication
35 at home, and being able to communicate with their friends and family
36 encrypted and away from prying eyes. It is still going strong, and
37 today a major mile stone was reached.
</p>
39 <p>Today, the last of the packages currently used by the project to
40 created the system images were accepted into Debian Unstable. It was
41 the freedombox-setup package, which is used to configure the images
42 during build and on the first boot. Now all one need to get going is
43 the build code from the freedom-maker git repository and packages from
44 Debian. And once the freedombox-setup package enter testing, we can
45 build everything directly from Debian. :)
</p>
47 <p>Some key packages used by Freedombox are

55 are plans to integrate more packages into the setup. User
56 documentation is maintained on the Debian wiki. Please
57 <a href=
"https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Manual/Jessie">check out
58 the manual
</a> and help us improve it.
</p>
60 <p>To test for yourself and create boot images with the FreedomBox
61 setup, run this on a Debian machine using a user with sudo rights to
65 sudo apt-get install git vmdebootstrap mercurial python-docutils \
66 mktorrent extlinux virtualbox qemu-user-static binfmt-support \
68 git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/freedombox/freedom-maker.git \
70 make -C freedom-maker dreamplug-image raspberry-image virtualbox-image
73 <p>Root access is needed to run debootstrap and mount loopback
74 devices. See the README in the freedom-maker git repo for more
75 details on the build. If you do not want all three images, trim the
76 make line. Note that the virtualbox-image target is not really
77 virtualbox specific. It create a x86 image usable in kvm, qemu,
78 vmware and any other x86 virtual machine environment. You might need
79 the version of vmdebootstrap in Jessie to get the build working, as it
80 include fixes for a race condition with kpartx.
</p>
82 <p>If you instead want to install using a Debian CD and the preseed
83 method, boot a Debian Wheezy ISO and use this boot argument to load
84 the preseed values:

</a>
90 <p>I have not tested it myself the last few weeks, so I do not know if
93 <p>If you wonder how to help, one task you could look at is using
94 systemd as the boot system. It will become the default for Linux in
95 Jessie, so we need to make sure it is usable on the Freedombox. I did
96 a simple test a few weeks ago, and noticed dnsmasq failed to start
97 during boot when using systemd. I suspect there are other problems
98 too. :) To detect problems, there is a test suite included, which can
99 be run from the plinth web interface.
</p>
101 <p>Give it a go and let us know how it goes on the mailing list, and help
102 us get the new release published. :) Please join us on

</a>
127 <p>For
12 år siden, skrev jeg et lite notat om
128 <a href=
"http://i18n.skolelinux.no/localekoder.txt">bruk av språkkoder
129 i Norge
</a>. Jeg ble nettopp minnet på dette da jeg fikk spørsmål om
130 notatet fortsatt var aktuelt, og tenkte det var greit å repetere hva
131 som fortsatt gjelder. Det jeg skrev da er fortsatt like aktuelt.
</p>
133 <p>Når en velger språk i programmer på unix, så velger en blant mange
134 språkkoder. For språk i Norge anbefales følgende språkkoder (anbefalt
135 locale i parantes):
</p>
138 <dt>nb (nb_NO)
</dt><dd>Bokmål i Norge
</dd>
139 <dt>nn (nn_NO)
</dt><dd>Nynorsk i Norge
</dd>
140 <dt>se (se_NO)
</dt><dd>Nordsamisk i Norge
</dd>
143 <p>Alle programmer som bruker andre koder bør endres.
</p>
145 <p>Språkkoden bør brukes når .po-filer navngis og installeres. Dette
146 er ikke det samme som locale-koden. For Norsk Bokmål, så bør filene
147 være navngitt nb.po, mens locale (LANG) bør være nb_NO.
</p>
149 <p>Hvis vi ikke får standardisert de kodene i alle programmene med
150 norske oversettelser, så er det umulig å gi LANG-variablen ett innhold
151 som fungerer for alle programmer.
</p>
153 <p>Språkkodene er de offisielle kodene fra ISO
639, og bruken av dem i
154 forbindelse med POSIX localer er standardisert i RFC
3066 og ISO
155 15897. Denne anbefalingen er i tråd med de angitte standardene.
</p>
157 <p>Følgende koder er eller har vært i bruk som locale-verdier for
158 "norske" språk. Disse bør unngås, og erstattes når de oppdages:
</p>
161 <tr><td>norwegian
</td><td>-
> nb_NO
</td></tr>
162 <tr><td>bokmål
</td><td>-
> nb_NO

163 <tr><td>bokmal

</td></tr>
168 <tr><td>sme_NO
</td><td>-
> se_NO
</td></tr>
171 <p>Merk at når det gjelder de samiske språkene, at se_NO i praksis
172 henviser til nordsamisk i Norge, mens f.eks. smj_NO henviser til
173 lulesamisk. Dette notatet er dog ikke ment å gi råd rundt samiske

</a>
222 <p>For a while now, I have been looking for a sensible offsite backup
223 solution for use at home. My requirements are simple, it must be
224 cheap and locally encrypted (in other words, I keep the encryption
225 keys, the storage provider do not have access to my private files).
226 One idea me and my friends had many years ago, before the cloud
227 storage providers showed up, was to use Google mail as storage,
228 writing a Linux block device storing blocks as emails in the mail
229 service provided by Google, and thus get heaps of free space. On top
230 of this one can add encryption, RAID and volume management to have
231 lots of (fairly slow, I admit that) cheap and encrypted storage. But
232 I never found time to implement such system. But the last few weeks I
233 have looked at a system called
234 <a href=
"https://bitbucket.org/nikratio/s3ql/">S3QL
</a>, a locally
235 mounted network backed file system with the features I need.
</p>
237 <p>S3QL is a fuse file system with a local cache and cloud storage,
238 handling several different storage providers, any with Amazon S3,
239 Google Drive or OpenStack API. There are heaps of such storage
240 providers. S3QL can also use a local directory as storage, which
241 combined with sshfs allow for file storage on any ssh server. S3QL
242 include support for encryption, compression, de-duplication, snapshots
243 and immutable file systems, allowing me to mount the remote storage as
244 a local mount point, look at and use the files as if they were local,
245 while the content is stored in the cloud as well. This allow me to
246 have a backup that should survive fire. The file system can not be
247 shared between several machines at the same time, as only one can
248 mount it at the time, but any machine with the encryption key and
249 access to the storage service can mount it if it is unmounted.
</p>
251 <p>It is simple to use. I'm using it on Debian Wheezy, where the
252 package is included already. So to get started, run
<tt>apt-get
253 install s3ql
</tt>. Next, pick a storage provider. I ended up picking
254 Greenqloud, after reading their nice recipe on
255 <a href=
"https://greenqloud.zendesk.com/entries/44611757-How-To-Use-S3QL-to-mount-a-StorageQloud-bucket-on-Debian-Wheezy">how
256 to use S3QL with their Amazon S3 service
</a>, because I trust the laws
257 in Iceland more than those in USA when it come to keeping my personal
258 data safe and private, and thus would rather spend money on a company
259 in Iceland. Another nice recipe is available from the article
260 <a href=
"http://www.admin-magazine.com/HPC/Articles/HPC-Cloud-Storage">S3QL
261 Filesystem for HPC Storage
</a> by Jeff Layton in the HPC section of
262 Admin magazine. When the provider is picked, figure out how to get
263 the API key needed to connect to the storage API. With Greencloud,
264 the key did not show up until I had added payment details to my
267 <p>Armed with the API access details, it is time to create the file
268 system. First, create a new bucket in the cloud. This bucket is the
269 file system storage area. I picked a bucket name reflecting the
270 machine that was going to store data there, but any name will do.
271 I'll refer to it as
<tt>bucket-name
</tt> below. In addition, one need
272 the API login and password, and a locally created password. Store it
273 all in ~root/.s3ql/authinfo2 like this:
277 storage-url: s3c://s.greenqloud.com:
443/bucket-name
278 backend-login: API-login
279 backend-password: API-password
280 fs-passphrase: local-password
281 </pre></blockquote></p>
283 <p>I create my local passphrase using
<tt>pwget
50</tt> or similar,
284 but any sensible way to create a fairly random password should do it.
285 Armed with these details, it is now time to run mkfs, entering the API
286 details and password to create it:
</p>
289 # mkdir -m
700 /var/lib/s3ql-cache
290 # mkfs.s3ql --cachedir /var/lib/s3ql-cache --authfile /root/.s3ql/authinfo2 \
291 --ssl s3c://s.greenqloud.com:
443/bucket-name
293 Enter backend password:
294 Before using S3QL, make sure to read the user's guide, especially
295 the 'Important Rules to Avoid Loosing Data' section.
296 Enter encryption password:

313 <p>The next step is mounting the file system to make the storage available.
316 # mount.s3ql --cachedir /var/lib/s3ql-cache --authfile /root/.s3ql/authinfo2 \

336 <p>The file system is now ready for use. I use rsync to store my
337 backups in it, and as the metadata used by rsync is downloaded at
338 mount time, no network traffic (and storage cost) is triggered by
339 running rsync. To unmount, one should not use the normal umount
340 command, as this will not flush the cache to the cloud storage, but
341 instead running the umount.s3ql command like this:
346 </pre></blockquote></p>
348 <p>There is a fsck command available to check the file system and
349 correct any problems detected. This can be used if the local server
350 crashes while the file system is mounted, to reset the "already
351 mounted" flag. This is what it look like when processing a working

400 <p>Thanks to the cache, working on files that fit in the cache is very
401 quick, about the same speed as local file access. Uploading large
402 amount of data is to me limited by the bandwidth out of and into my
403 house. Uploading
685 MiB with a
100 MiB cache gave me
305 kiB/s,
404 which is very close to my upload speed, and downloading the same
405 Debian installation ISO gave me
610 kiB/s, close to my download speed.
406 Both were measured using
<tt>dd
</tt>. So for me, the bottleneck is my
407 network, not the file system code. I do not know what a good cache
408 size would be, but suspect that the cache should e larger than your
411 <p>I mentioned that only one machine can mount the file system at the
412 time. If another machine try, it is told that the file system is
416 # mount.s3ql --cachedir /var/lib/s3ql-cache --authfile /root/.s3ql/authinfo2 \
417 --ssl --allow-root s3c://s.greenqloud.com:

8 upload threads.
419 Backend reports that fs is still mounted elsewhere, aborting.
421 </pre></blockquote></p>
423 <p>The file content is uploaded when the cache is full, while the
424 metadata is uploaded once every
24 hour by default. To ensure the
425 file system content is flushed to the cloud, one can either umount the
426 file system, or ask S3QL to flush the cache and metadata using
430 # s3qlctrl upload-meta /s3ql
431 # s3qlctrl flushcache /s3ql
433 </pre></blockquote></p>
435 <p>If you are curious about how much space your data uses in the
436 cloud, and how much compression and deduplication cut down on the
437 storage usage, you can use s3qlstat on the mounted file system to get
442 Directory entries:

453 <p>I mentioned earlier that there are several possible suppliers of
454 storage. I did not try to locate them all, but am aware of at least

465 <p>While researching this blog post, I had a look at research papers
466 and posters discussing the S3QL file system. There are several, which

474 and Pamela Smith. Please have a look.</p>
476 <p>Given my problems with different file systems earlier, I decided to
477 check out the mounted S3QL file system to see if it would be usable as
478 a home directory (in other word, that it provided POSIX semantics when
479 it come to locking and umask handling etc). Running

">ReactOS Windows clone - nice free software</a>
609 <p>Microsoft have announced that Windows XP reaches its end of life
610 2014-04-08, in 7 days. But there are heaps of machines still running
611 Windows XP, and depending on Windows XP to run their applications, and
612 upgrading will be expensive, both when it comes to money and when it
613 comes to the amount of effort needed to migrate from Windows XP to a
614 new operating system. Some obvious options (buy new a Windows
615 machine, buy a MacOSX machine, install Linux on the existing machine)
616 are already well known and covered elsewhere. Most of them involve
617 leaving the user applications installed on Windows XP behind and
618 trying out replacements or updated versions. In this blog post I want
619 to mention one strange bird that allow people to keep the hardware and
620 the existing Windows XP applications and run them on a free software
621 operating system that is Windows XP compatible.</p>
623 <p><a href="http://www.reactos.org/
">ReactOS</a> is a free software
624 operating system (GNU GPL licensed) working on providing a operating
625 system that is binary compatible with Windows, able to run windows
626 programs directly and to use Windows drivers for hardware directly.
627 The project goal is for Windows user to keep their existing machines,
628 drivers and software, and gain the advantages from user a operating
629 system without usage limitations caused by non-free licensing. It is
630 a Windows clone running directly on the hardware, so quite different
631 from the approach taken by <a href="http://www.winehq.org/
">the Wine
632 project</a>, which make it possible to run Windows binaries on
635 <p>The ReactOS project share code with the Wine project, so most
636 shared libraries available on Windows are already implemented already.
637 There is also a software manager like the one we are used to on Linux,
638 allowing the user to install free software applications with a simple
639 click directly from the Internet. Check out the
640 <a href="http://www.reactos.org/screenshots
">screen shots on the
641 project web site</a> for an idea what it look like (it looks just like
642 Windows before metro).</p>
644 <p>I do not use ReactOS myself, preferring Linux and Unix like
645 operating systems. I've tested it, and it work fine in a virt-manager
646 virtual machine. The browser, minesweeper, notepad etc is working
647 fine as far as I can tell. Unfortunately, my main test application
648 is the software included on a CD with the Lego Mindstorms NXT, which
649 seem to install just fine from CD but fail to leave any binaries on
650 the disk after the installation. So no luck with that test software.
651 No idea why, but hope someone else figure out and fix the problem.
652 I've tried the ReactOS Live ISO on a physical machine, and it seemed
653 to work just fine. If you like Windows and want to keep running your
654 old Windows binaries, check it out by
