>Wireless mesh networks are self organising and self healing
64 networks that can be used to connect computers across small and large
65 areas, depending on the radio technology used. Normal wifi equipment
66 can be used to create home made radio networks, and there are several
67 successful examples like
68 <a href=
"http://www.freifunk.net/
">Freifunk
</a
> and
69 <a href=
"http://www.awmn.net/
">Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network
</a
>
71 <a href=
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_community_networks_by_region#Greece
">wikipedia
72 for a large list
</a
>) around the globe. To give you an idea how it
73 work, check out the nice overview of the Kiel Freifunk community which
74 can be seen from their
75 <a href=
"http://freifunk.in-kiel.de/ffmap/nodes.html
">dynamically
76 updated node graph and map
</a
>, where one can see how the mesh nodes
77 automatically handle routing and recover from nodes disappearing.
78 There is also a small community mesh network group in Oslo, Norway,
79 and that is the main topic of this blog post.
</p
>
81 <p
>I
've wanted to check out mesh networks for a while now, and hoped
82 to do it as part of my involvement with the
<a
83 href=
"http://www.nuug.no/
">NUUG member organisation
</a
> community, and
84 my recent involvement in
85 <a href=
"https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox
">the Freedombox project
</a
>
86 finally lead me to give mesh networks some priority, as I suspect a
87 Freedombox should use mesh networks to connect neighbours and family
88 when possible, given that most communication between people are
89 between those nearby (as shown for example by research on Facebook
90 communication patterns). It also allow people to communicate without
91 any central hub to tap into for those that want to listen in on the
92 private communication of citizens, which have become more and more
93 important over the years.
</p
>
95 <p
>So far I have only been able to find one group of people in Oslo
96 working on community mesh networks, over at the hack space
97 <a href=
"http://hackeriet.no/
">Hackeriet
</a
> at Husmania. They seem to
98 have started with some Freifunk based effort using OLSR, called
99 <a href=
"http://oslo.freifunk.net/index.php?title=Main_Page
">the Oslo
100 Freifunk project
</a
>, but that effort is now dead and the people
101 behind it have moved on to a batman-adv based system called
102 <a href=
"http://meshfx.org/trac
">meshfx
</a
>. Unfortunately the wiki
103 site for the Oslo Freifunk project is no longer possible to update to
104 reflect this fact, so the old project page can
't be updated to point to
105 the new project. A while back, the people at Hackeriet invited people
106 from the Freifunk community to Oslo to talk about mesh networks. I
107 came across this video where Hans Jørgen Lysglimt interview the
108 speakers about this talk (from
109 <a href=

113 <p
>I mentioned OLSR and batman-adv, which are mesh routing protocols.
114 There are heaps of different protocols, and I am still struggling to
115 figure out which one would be
"best
" for some definitions of best, but
116 given that the community mesh group in Oslo is so small, I believe it
117 is best to hook up with the existing one instead of trying to create a
118 completely different setup, and thus I have decided to focus on
119 batman-adv for now. It sure help me to know that the very cool
120 <a href=
"http://www.servalproject.org/
">Serval project in Australia
</a
>
121 is using batman-adv as their meshing technology when it create a self
122 organizing and self healing telephony system for disaster areas and
123 less industrialized communities. Check out this cool video presenting

129 <p
>According to the wikipedia page on
130 <a href=
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network
">Wireless
131 mesh network
</a
> there are around
70 competing schemes for routing
132 packets across mesh networks, and OLSR, B.A.T.M.A.N. and
133 B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced are protocols used by several free software
134 based community mesh networks.
</p
>
136 <p
>The batman-adv protocol is a bit special, as it provide layer
2
137 (as in ethernet ) routing, allowing ipv4 and ipv6 to work on the same
138 network. One way to think about it is that it provide a mesh based
139 vlan you can bridge to or handle like any other vlan connected to your
140 computer. The required drivers are already in the Linux kernel at
141 least since Debian Wheezy, and it is fairly easy to set up. A
142 <a href=
"http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide
">good
143 introduction
</a
> is available from the Open Mesh project. These are
144 the key settings needed to join the Oslo meshfx network:

154 <p
>The reason for setting ad-hoc wifi Cell ID is to work around bugs
155 in firmware used in wifi card and wifi drivers. (See a nice post from
157 "<a href=

159 for details.) When these settings are activated and you have some
160 other mesh node nearby, your computer will be connected to the mesh
161 network and can communicate with any mesh node that is connected to
162 any of the nodes in your network of nodes. :)
</p
>
164 <p
>My initial plan was to reuse my old Linksys WRT54GL as a mesh node,
165 but that seem to be very hard, as I have not been able to locate a
166 firmware supporting batman-adv. If anyone know how to use that old
167 wifi access point with batman-adv these days, please let me know.

177 and Innovation called

180 learned that Telenor have been experimenting with mesh networks at
181 Grünerløkka in Oslo. So mesh networks are also interesting for
182 commercial companies, even though Telenor discovered that it was hard
183 to figure out a good business plan for mesh networking and as far as I
184 know have closed down the experiment. Perhaps Telenor or others would
185 be interested in a cooperation?

386 <p
>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux
</p
>
388 <p
>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
389 on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
390 configured school network. Immediately after installation a school
391 server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
392 waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
393 Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
394 initial installation of the main server from CD or USB stick all other
395 machines can be installed via the network. The provided school server
396 provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service,
397 centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other
398 services. The desktop contains more than
60 educational software
399 packages and more are available from the Debian archive, and schools
400 can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE and Xfce desktop environment.
</p
>
402 <p
>This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
403 this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
404 Squeeze release.
</p
>
406 <p
>Notes for upgrades from Alpha Prereleases
</p
>
408 <p
>Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
409 versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
410 release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
411 deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (
1) Keep
412 gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined on the mailing list. (
2)
413 Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both contained admin
414 password placeholders with the password hashes found in the old one
415 (backup copy!). In both cases all users need to change their password
416 to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home

431 <description><p
>I was introduced to the
432 <a href=
"http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/
">Freedombox project
</a
>
433 in
2010, when Eben Moglen presented his vision about serving the need
434 of non-technical people to keep their personal information private and
435 within the legal protection of their own homes. The idea is to give
436 people back the power over their network and machines, and return
437 Internet back to its intended peer-to-peer architecture. Instead of
438 depending on a central service, the Freedombox will give everyone
439 control over their own basic infrastructure.
</p
>
441 <p
>I
've intended to join the effort since then, but other tasks have
442 taken priority. But this summers nasty news about the misuse of trust
443 and privilege exercised by the
"western
" intelligence gathering
444 communities increased my eagerness to contribute to a point where I
445 actually started working on the project a while back.
</p
>
447 <p
>The
<a href=
"https://alioth.debian.org/projects/freedombox/
">initial
448 Debian initiative
</a
> based on the vision from Eben Moglen, is to
449 create a simple and cheap Debian based appliance that anyone can hook
450 up in their home and get access to secure and private services and
451 communication. The initial deployment platform have been the
452 <a href=
"http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-dreamplugdetails.aspx
">Dreamplug
</a
>,
453 which is a piece of hardware I do not own. So to be able to test what
454 the current Freedombox setup look like, I had to come up with a way to install
455 it on some hardware I do have access to. I have rewritten the
456 <a href=
"https://github.com/NickDaly/freedom-maker
">freedom-maker
</a
>
457 image build framework to use .deb packages instead of only copying
458 setup into the boot images, and thanks to this rewrite I am able to
459 set up any machine supported by Debian Wheezy as a Freedombox, using
460 the previously mentioned deb (and a few support debs for packages
461 missing in Debian).
</p
>
463 <p
>The current Freedombox setup consist of a set of bootstrapping
465 (
<a href=
"https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/freedombox-setup
">freedombox-setup
</a
>),
466 and a administrative web interface
467 (
<a href=
"https://github.com/NickDaly/Plinth
">plinth
</a
> + exmachina +
468 withsqlite), as well as a privacy enhancing proxy based on
469 <a href=
"http://packages.qa.debian.org/privoxy
">privoxy
</a
>
470 (freedombox-privoxy). There is also a web/javascript based XMPP
471 client (
<a href=
"http://packages.qa.debian.org/jwchat
">jwchat
</a
>)
472 trying (unsuccessfully so far) to talk to the XMPP server
473 (
<a href=
"http://packages.qa.debian.org/ejabberd
">ejabberd
</a
>). The
474 web interface is pluggable, and the goal is to use it to enable OpenID
475 services, mesh network connectivity, use of TOR, etc, etc. Not much of
476 this is really working yet, see
477 <a href=
"https://github.com/NickDaly/freedombox-todos/blob/master/TODO
">the
478 project TODO
</a
> for links to GIT repositories. Most of the code is
479 on github at the moment. The HTTP proxy is operational out of the
480 box, and the admin web interface can be used to add/remove plinth
481 users. I
've not been able to do anything else with it so far, but
482 know there are several branches spread around github and other places
483 with lots of half baked features.
</p

485 <p
>Anyway, if you want to have a look at the current state, the
486 following recipes should work to give you a test machine to poke

525 <li
>Reboot into your freshly created Freedombox.
</li

529 <p
>You can test it on other architectures too, but because the
530 freedombox-privoxy package is binary, it will only work as intended on
531 the architectures where I have had time to build the binary and put it
532 in my APT repository. But do not let this stop you. It is only a
533 short
"<tt

</p
>
535 <p
>Note that by default Freedombox is a DHCP server on the
536 192.168.1.0/
24 subnet, so if this is your subnet be careful and turn
537 off the DHCP server by running
"<tt
>update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server
538 disable
</tt
>" as root.
</p
>
540 <p
>Please let me know if this works for you, or if you have any

>I
2011 raderte et stortingsflertall bestående av Høyre og
562 Arbeiderpartiet vekk en betydelig del av privatsfæren til det norske
563 folk. Det ble vedtatt at det skulle registreres og lagres i et halvt
564 år hvor alle som bærer på en mobiltelefon befinner seg, hvem de
565 snakker med og hvor lenge de snakket sammen. Det skal også
566 registreres hvem de sendte SMS-meldinger til, hvem en har sendt epost
567 til, og hvilke nett-tjenere en besøkte. Saken er kjent som
568 <a href=
"http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet
">Datalagringsdirektivet
569 (DLD)
</a
>, og innebærer at alle innbyggerne og andre innenfor Norges
570 grenser overvåkes døgnet rundt. Det ble i praksis innført brev og
571 besøkskontroll av hele befolkningen. Rapporter fra de landene som
572 allerede har innført slik total lagring av borgernes
573 kommunikasjonsmønstre forteller at det ikke hjelper i
574 kriminalitetsbekjempelsen. Den norske prislappen blir mange hundre
575 millioner, uten at det ser ut til å bidra positivt til politiets
576 arbeide. Jeg synes flere hundre millioner i stedet burde vært brukt
577 på noe som kan dokumenteres å ha effekt i kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.

</a
>.
</p
>
582 <p
>Hva er problemet, tenkter du kanskje? Et åpenbart problem er at
583 medienes kildevern i praksis blir radert ut. Den innsamlede
584 informasjonen gjør det mulig å finne ut hvem som har snakket med
585 journalister på telefon, SMS og epost, og hvem som har vært i nærheten
586 av journalister så sant begge bar med seg en telefon. Et annet er at
587 advokatvernet blir sterkt redusert, der politiet kan finne ut hvem
588 som har snakket med en advokat når, eller vært i møter en med advokat.
589 Et tredje er at svært personlig informasjon kan avledes fra hvilke
590 nettsteder en har besøkt. Har en besøkt hivnorge.no,
591 swingersnorge.com eller andre sider som kan brukes til avlede
592 interesser som hører til privatsfæren, vil denne informasjonen være
593 tilgjengelig takket være datalagringsdirektivet.
</p

595 <p
>De fleste partiene var mot, kun to partier stemte for. Høyre og
596 Arbeiderpartiet. Og både Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet i Oslo har
597 DLD-forkjempere på toppen av sine lister (har ikke sjekket de andre
598 fylkene). Det er dermed helt uaktuelt for meg å stemme på disse
599 partiene. Her er oversikten over partienes valglister i Oslo, med
600 informasjon om hvem som stemte hva i første DLD-votering i Stortinget,

850 <p
><a href=
"http://www.skolelinux.org/
">Debian Edu, also known as
851 Skolelinux
</a
>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
852 out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
853 network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
854 services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
855 and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
856 environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
857 the main server from CD or USB stick all other machines can be
858 installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
859 database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
860 directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
862 <a href=
"http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html
">more
863 than
60 educational software packages
</a
> and more are available from
864 the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
865 and Xfce desktop environment.
</p
>
867 <p
>This is the sixth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this
868 is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze
871 <p
>ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
872 versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
873 release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
874 deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (
1) Keep
875 gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined
876 <a href=
"http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/
2013/
08/msg00127.html
">on
877 the mailing list
</a
>. (
2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and
878 replace both contained admin password placeholders with the password
879 hashes found in the old one (backup copy!). In both cases every user
880 need to change their their password to make sure a password is set for
881 CIFS access to their home directory.
</p
>
883 <p
><strong
>Software updates
</strong
></p
>
887 <li
>Added ssh askpass packages to default installation, to ensure ssh
888 work also without a attached tty.
</li
>
889 <li
>Add the command-not-found package to the default installation to
890 make it easier to figure out where to find missing command line
891 tools. Please note, that the command
'update-command-not-found
'
892 has to be run as root to actually make it useful (internet access
893 required).
</li
>
897 <p
><strong
>Other changes
</strong
></p
>
901 <li
>Adjusted the USB stick ISO image build to include every tool
902 needed for desktop=xfce installations.
</li
>
903 <li
>Adjust thin-client-server task to work when installing from USB
904 stick ISO image.
</li
>
905 <li
>Made new grub artwork (changed png from indexed to RGB format).
</li
>
906 <li
>Minor cleanup in the CUPS setup.
</li
>
907 <li
>Make sure that bootstrapping of the Samba domain really happens
908 during installation of the main server and adjust SID handling to
909 cope with this.
</li
>
910 <li
>Make Samba passwords changeable (again) via GOsa².
</li
>
911 <li
>Fix generation of LM and NT password hashes via GOsa² to avoid
912 empty password hashes.
</li
>
913 <li
>Adapted Samba machine domain joining to latest change in the
914 smbldap-tools Perl package, fixing bugs blocking Windows machines
915 from joining the Samba domain.
</li
>
919 <p
><strong
>Known issues
</strong
></p
>
923 <li
>KDE fails to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
924 not use the http proxy as it should.
</li
>
925 <li
>Chromium also fails to use the proxy when using the KDE desktop
926 (using the KDE configuration).
