                <description>&lt;p&gt;Wireless mesh networks are self organising and self healing
networks that can be used to connect computers across small and large
areas, depending on the radio technology used.  Normal wifi equipment
can be used to create home made radio networks, and there are several
successful examples like
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freifunk.net/&quot;&gt;Freifunk&lt;/a&gt; and
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.awmn.net/&quot;&gt;Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network&lt;/a&gt;
(see
&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wireless_community_networks_by_region#Greece&quot;&gt;wikipedia
for a large list&lt;/a&gt;) around the globe.  To give you an idea how it
work, check out the nice overview of the Kiel Freifunk community which
can be seen from their
&lt;a href=&quot;http://freifunk.in-kiel.de/ffmap/nodes.html&quot;&gt;dynamically
updated node graph and map&lt;/a&gt;, where one can see how the mesh nodes
automatically handle routing and recover from nodes disappearing.
There is also a small community mesh network group in Oslo, Norway,
and that is the main topic of this blog post.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve wanted to check out mesh networks for a while now, and hoped
to do it as part of my involvement with the &lt;a
href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG member organisation&lt;/a&gt; community, and
my recent involvement in
&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox&quot;&gt;the Freedombox project&lt;/a&gt;
finally lead me to give mesh networks some priority, as I suspect a
Freedombox should use mesh networks to connect neighbours and family
when possible, given that most communication between people are
between those nearby (as shown for example by research on Facebook
communication patterns).  It also allow people to communicate without
any central hub to tap into for those that want to listen in on the
private communication of citizens, which have become more and more
important over the years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So far I have only been able to find one group of people in Oslo
working on community mesh networks, over at the hack space
&lt;a href=&quot;http://hackeriet.no/&quot;&gt;Hackeriet&lt;/a&gt; at Husmania.  They seem to
have started with some Freifunk based effort using OLSR, called
&lt;a href=&quot;http://oslo.freifunk.net/index.php?title=Main_Page&quot;&gt;the Oslo
Freifunk project&lt;/a&gt;, but that effort is now dead and the people
behind it have moved on to a batman-adv based system called
&lt;a href=&quot;http://meshfx.org/trac&quot;&gt;meshfx&lt;/a&gt;.  Unfortunately the wiki
site for the Oslo Freifunk project is no longer possible to update to
reflect this fact, so the old project page can&#39;t be updated to point to
the new project.  A while back, the people at Hackeriet invited people
from the Freifunk community to Oslo to talk about mesh networks.  I
came across this video where Hans Jørgen Lysglimt interview the
speakers about this talk (from
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Kd7CLkhSY&quot;&gt;youtube&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/N2Kd7CLkhSY&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I mentioned OLSR and batman-adv, which are mesh routing protocols.
There are heaps of different protocols, and I am still struggling to
figure out which one would be &quot;best&quot; for some definitions of best, but
given that the community mesh group in Oslo is so small, I believe it
is best to hook up with the existing one instead of trying to create a
completely different setup, and thus I have decided to focus on
batman-adv for now.  It sure help me to  know that the very cool
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.servalproject.org/&quot;&gt;Serval project in Australia&lt;/a&gt;
is using batman-adv as their meshing technology when it create a self
organizing and self healing telephony system for disaster areas and
less industrialized communities.  Check out this cool video presenting
that project (from
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30qNfzJCQOA&quot;&gt;youtube&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/30qNfzJCQOA&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to the wikipedia page on
&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_mesh_network&quot;&gt;Wireless
mesh network&lt;/a&gt; there are around 70 competing schemes for routing
packets across mesh networks, and OLSR, B.A.T.M.A.N. and
B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced are protocols used by several free software
based community mesh networks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The batman-adv protocol is a bit special, as it provide layer 2
(as in ethernet ) routing, allowing ipv4 and ipv6 to work on the same
network.  One way to think about it is that it provide a mesh based
vlan you can bridge to or handle like any other vlan connected to your
computer.  The required drivers are already in the Linux kernel at
least since Debian Wheezy, and it is fairly easy to set up.  A
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Quick-start-guide&quot;&gt;good
introduction&lt;/a&gt; is available from the Open Mesh project.  These are
the key settings needed to join the Oslo meshfx network:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Setting&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Value&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Protocol / kernel module&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;batman-adv&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;ESSID&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;meshfx@hackeriet&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Channel / Frequency&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;11 / 2462&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Cell ID&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;02:BA:00:00:00:01&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The reason for setting ad-hoc wifi Cell ID is to work around bugs
in firmware used in wifi card and wifi drivers.  (See a nice post from
VillageTelco about
&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tiebing.blogspot.no/2009/12/ad-hoc-cell-splitting-re-post-original.html&quot;&gt;Information
about cell-id splitting, stuck beacons, and failed IBSS merges!&lt;/a&gt;
for details.)  When these settings are activated and you have some
other mesh node nearby, your computer will be connected to the mesh
network and can communicate with any mesh node that is connected to
any of the nodes in your network of nodes. :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My initial plan was to reuse my old Linksys WRT54GL as a mesh node,
but that seem to be very hard, as I have not been able to locate a
firmware supporting batman-adv.  If anyone know how to use that old
wifi access point with batman-adv these days, please let me know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you find this project interesting and want to join, please join
us on IRC, either channel
&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#oslohackerspace&quot;&gt;#oslohackerspace&lt;/a&gt;
or &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#nuug&quot;&gt;#nuug&lt;/a&gt; on
irc.freenode.net.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While investigating mesh networks in Oslo, I came across an old
research paper from the university of Stavanger and Telenor Research
and Innovation called
&lt;a href=&quot;http://folk.uio.no/paalee/publications/netrel-egeland-iswcs-2008.pdf&quot;&gt;The
reliability of wireless backhaul mesh networks&lt;/a&gt; and elsewhere
learned that Telenor have been experimenting with mesh networks at
Grünerløkka in Oslo.  So mesh networks are also interesting for
commercial companies, even though Telenor discovered that it was hard
to figure out a good business plan for mesh networking and as far as I
know have closed down the experiment.  Perhaps Telenor or others would
be interested in a cooperation?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2013-10-12&lt;/strong&gt;: I was just
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2013-October/005900.html&quot;&gt;told
by the Serval project developers&lt;/a&gt; that they no longer use
batman-adv (but are compatible with it), but their own crypto based
mesh system.&lt;/p&gt;

                <pubDate>Tue, 8 Oct 2013 17:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;The other day I was pleased and surprised to discover that Marcelo
Salvador had published a
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-GgpdqgLFc&quot;&gt;video on
Youtube&lt;/a&gt; showing how to install the standalone Debian Edu /
Skolelinux profile.  This is the profile intended for use at home or
on laptops that should not be integrated into the provided network
services (no central home directory, no Kerberos / LDAP directory etc,
in other word a single user machine).  The result is 11 minutes long,
and show some user applications (seem to be rather randomly picked).
Missed a few of my favorites like celestia, planets and chromium
showing the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zygotebody.com/&quot;&gt;Zygote Body 3D model
of the human body&lt;/a&gt;, but I guess he did not know about those or find
other programs more interesting. :) And the video do not show the
advantages I believe is one of the most valuable featuers in Debian
Edu, its central school server making it possible to run hundreds of
computers without hard drives by installing one central
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ltsp.org/&quot;&gt;LTSP server&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyway, check out the video, embedded below and linked to above:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are there other nice videos demonstrating Skolelinux?  Please let
me know. :)&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;A few hours ago, the announcement for the first stable release of
Debian Edu Wheezy went out from the Debian publicity team.  The
complete announcement text can be found at
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20130928&quot;&gt;the Debian News
section&lt;/a&gt;, translated to several languages.  Please check it out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is one minor known problem that we will fix very soon.  One
can not install a amd64 Thin Client Server using PXE, as the /var/
partition is too small.  A workaround is to extend the partition (use
lvresize + resize2fs in tty 2 while installing).&lt;/p&gt;

Jessie is coming along quite well, and soon both Owncloud and using
Tor should be available for testers of the Freedombox solution. :) In
a few weeks I hope everything needed to test it is included in Debian.
The withsqlite package is already in Debian, and the plinth package is
pending in NEW.  The third and vital part of that puzzle is the
metapackage/setup framework, which is still pending an upload.  Join

                <description>&lt;p&gt;The third wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
today.  This is the release announcement from Holger Levsen:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it is my pleasure to announce the third beta release (beta 2 for
short) of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; based on Debian Wheezy!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please test these images extensivly, if no new problems are found
we plan to do this final Debian Edu Wheezy release this coming
weekend.  We are not aware of any major problems or blockers in beta2,
if you find something, please notify us immediately!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(More about the remaining steps for the Edu Wheezy release in
another mail to the edu list tonight or tomorrow...)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Noteworthy changes and software updates for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b2
compared to beta1:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;The KDE proxy setup has been adjusted to use the provided wpad.dat. This
also gets Chromium to use this proxy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install kdepim-groupware with KDE desktops to make sure korganizer
understand ical/dav sources.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increased default maximum size of /var/spool/squid and /skole/backup on the
main server.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A source DVD image containing all source packages is now available as well.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Updates for chromium (29.0.1547.57-1~deb7u1), imagemagick
(6.7.7.10-5+deb7u2), php5 (5.4.4-14+deb7u4), libmodplug
(0.8.8.4-3+deb7u1+git20130828), tiff (4.0.2-6+deb7u2), linux-image
(3.2.0-4-486_3.2.46-1+deb7u1).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Where to get it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To download the multiarch netinstall CD release you can use&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
configured school network. Immediately after installation a school
server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
initial installation of the main server from CD or USB stick all other
machines can be installed via the network. The provided school server
provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service,
centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other
services.  The desktop contains more than 60 educational software
packages and more are available from the Debian archive, and schools
can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Notes for upgrades from Alpha Prereleases&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined on the mailing list. (2)
Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both contained admin
password placeholders with the password hashes found in the old one
(backup copy!). In both cases all users need to change their password
to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home

                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Recipe_to_test_the_Freedombox_project_on_amd64_or_Raspberry_Pi.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;I was introduced to the
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/&quot;&gt;Freedombox project&lt;/a&gt;
in 2010, when Eben Moglen presented his vision about serving the need
of non-technical people to keep their personal information private and
within the legal protection of their own homes.  The idea is to give
people back the power over their network and machines, and return
Internet back to its intended peer-to-peer architecture.  Instead of
depending on a central service, the Freedombox will give everyone
control over their own basic infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve intended to join the effort since then, but other tasks have
taken priority.  But this summers nasty news about the misuse of trust
and privilege exercised by the &quot;western&quot; intelligence gathering
communities increased my eagerness to contribute to a point where I
actually started working on the project a while back.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/projects/freedombox/&quot;&gt;initial
Debian initiative&lt;/a&gt; based on the vision from Eben Moglen, is to
create a simple and cheap Debian based appliance that anyone can hook
up in their home and get access to secure and private services and
communication.  The initial deployment platform have been the
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-dreamplugdetails.aspx&quot;&gt;Dreamplug&lt;/a&gt;,
which is a piece of hardware I do not own.  So to be able to test what
the current Freedombox setup look like, I had to come up with a way to install
it on some hardware I do have access to.  I have rewritten the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/NickDaly/freedom-maker&quot;&gt;freedom-maker&lt;/a&gt;
image build framework to use .deb packages instead of only copying
setup into the boot images, and thanks to this rewrite I am able to
set up any machine supported by Debian Wheezy as a Freedombox, using
the previously mentioned deb (and a few support debs for packages
missing in Debian).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The current Freedombox setup consist of a set of bootstrapping
scripts
(&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/freedombox-setup&quot;&gt;freedombox-setup&lt;/a&gt;),
and a administrative web interface
(&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/NickDaly/Plinth&quot;&gt;plinth&lt;/a&gt; + exmachina +
withsqlite), as well as a privacy enhancing proxy based on
&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/privoxy&quot;&gt;privoxy&lt;/a&gt;
(freedombox-privoxy).  There is also a web/javascript based XMPP
client (&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/jwchat&quot;&gt;jwchat&lt;/a&gt;)
trying (unsuccessfully so far) to talk to the XMPP server
(&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/ejabberd&quot;&gt;ejabberd&lt;/a&gt;).  The
web interface is pluggable, and the goal is to use it to enable OpenID
services, mesh network connectivity, use of TOR, etc, etc.  Not much of
this is really working yet, see
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/NickDaly/freedombox-todos/blob/master/TODO&quot;&gt;the
project TODO&lt;/a&gt; for links to GIT repositories.  Most of the code is
on github at the moment.  The HTTP proxy is operational out of the
box, and the admin web interface can be used to add/remove plinth
users.  I&#39;ve not been able to do anything else with it so far, but
know there are several branches spread around github and other places
with lots of half baked features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyway, if you want to have a look at the current state, the
following recipes should work to give you a test machine to poke
at.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debian Wheezy amd64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Fetch normal Debian Wheezy installation ISO.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Boot from it, either as CD or USB stick.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Press [tab] on the boot prompt and add this as a boot argument
to the Debian installer:&lt;p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;url=&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat&quot;&gt;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Answer the few language/region/password questions and pick disk to
install on.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;When the installation is finished and the machine have rebooted a
few times, your Freedombox is ready for testing.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Raspberry Pi Raspbian&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Fetch a Raspbian SD card image, create SD card.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Boot from SD card, extend file system to fill the card completely.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Log in and add this to /etc/sources.list:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
deb &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/&quot;&gt;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox&lt;/a&gt; wheezy main
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Run this as root:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
wget -O - http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/BE1A583D.asc | \
   apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install freedombox-setup
/usr/lib/freedombox/setup
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reboot into your freshly created Freedombox.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can test it on other architectures too, but because the
freedombox-privoxy package is binary, it will only work as intended on
the architectures where I have had time to build the binary and put it
in my APT repository.  But do not let this stop you.  It is only a
short &quot;&lt;tt&gt;apt-get source -b freedombox-privoxy&lt;/tt&gt;&quot; away. :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note that by default Freedombox is a DHCP server on the
192.168.1.0/24 subnet, so if this is your subnet be careful and turn
off the DHCP server by running &quot;&lt;tt&gt;update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server
disable&lt;/tt&gt;&quot; as root.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please let me know if this works for you, or if you have any
problems.  We gather on the IRC channel
&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox&quot;&gt;#freedombox&lt;/a&gt; on
irc.debian.org and the
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss&quot;&gt;project
mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once you get your freedombox operational, you can visit
&lt;tt&gt;http://your-host-name:8001/&lt;/tt&gt; to see the state of the plint
welcome screen (dead end - do not be surprised if you are unable to
get past it), and next visit &lt;tt&gt;http://your-host-name:8001/help/&lt;/tt&gt;
to look at the rest of plinth.  The default user is &#39;admin&#39; and the
default password is &#39;secret&#39;.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Datalagringsdirektivet gjør at Oslo Høyre og Arbeiderparti ikke får min stemme i år</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Datalagringsdirektivet_gj_r_at_Oslo_H_yre_og_Arbeiderparti_ikke_f_r_min_stemme_i__r.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Datalagringsdirektivet_gj_r_at_Oslo_H_yre_og_Arbeiderparti_ikke_f_r_min_stemme_i__r.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sun, 8 Sep 2013 20:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;I 2011 raderte et stortingsflertall bestående av Høyre og
Arbeiderpartiet vekk en betydelig del av privatsfæren til det norske
folk.  Det ble vedtatt at det skulle registreres og lagres i et halvt
år hvor alle som bærer på en mobiltelefon befinner seg, hvem de
snakker med og hvor lenge de snakket sammen.  Det skal også
registreres hvem de sendte SMS-meldinger til, hvem en har sendt epost
til, og hvilke nett-tjenere en besøkte.  Saken er kjent som
&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Datalagringsdirektivet
(DLD)&lt;/a&gt;, og innebærer at alle innbyggerne og andre innenfor Norges
grenser overvåkes døgnet rundt.  Det ble i praksis innført brev og
besøkskontroll av hele befolkningen.  Rapporter fra de landene som
allerede har innført slik total lagring av borgernes
kommunikasjonsmønstre forteller at det ikke hjelper i
kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.  Den norske prislappen blir mange hundre
millioner, uten at det ser ut til å bidra positivt til politiets
arbeide.  Jeg synes flere hundre millioner i stedet burde vært brukt
på noe som kan dokumenteres å ha effekt i kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.
Se mer på
&lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;
og &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84&quot;&gt;Jon Wessel-Aas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p&gt;De fleste partiene var mot, kun to partier stemte for.  Høyre og
Arbeiderpartiet.  Og både Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet i Oslo har
DLD-forkjempere på toppen av sine lister (har ikke sjekket de andre
fylkene).  Det er dermed helt uaktuelt for meg å stemme på disse
partiene.  Her er oversikten over partienes valglister i Oslo, med
informasjon om hvem som stemte hva i første DLD-votering i Stortinget,
basert på informasjon fra mine venner i 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/votes/1301946411e&quot;&gt;Holder de
Ord&lt;/a&gt; samt &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stortinget.no/&quot;&gt;data.stortinget.no&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;Hvilket parti får så min stemme i år.  Jeg tror det blir
&lt;a href=&quot;http://piratpartiet.no/&quot;&gt;Piratpartiet&lt;/a&gt;.  Hvis de kan bidra
til at det kommer noen inn på Stortinget med teknisk peiling, så får
kanskje ikke overvåkningsgalskapen like fritt spillerom som det har
hatt så langt.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Second beta release (beta 1) of Debian Edu/Skolelinux based on Debian Wheezy</title>

                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Second_beta_release__beta_1__of_Debian_Edu_Skolelinux_based_on_Debian_Wheezy.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;The second wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
today, slightly delayed because of some bugs in the initial Windows
integration fixes .  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b1 released 2013-08-22&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
7.1+edu0~b1, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
the main server from CD or USB stick all other machines can be
installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
desktop contains
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the sixth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this
is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze
release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/08/msg00127.html&quot;&gt;on
the mailing list&lt;/a&gt;. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and
replace both contained admin password placeholders with the password
hashes found in the old one (backup copy!). In both cases every user
need to change their their password to make sure a password is set for
CIFS access to their home directory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Added ssh askpass packages to default installation, to ensure ssh
    work also without a attached tty.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add the command-not-found package to the default installation to
    make it easier to figure out where to find missing command line
    tools. Please note, that the command &#39;update-command-not-found&#39;
    has to be run as root to actually make it useful (internet access
    required).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Adjusted the USB stick ISO image build to include every tool
needed for desktop=xfce installations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adjust thin-client-server task to work when installing from USB
stick ISO image.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Made new grub artwork (changed png from indexed to RGB format).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Minor cleanup in the CUPS setup.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure that bootstrapping of the Samba domain really happens
    during installation of the main server and adjust SID handling to
    cope with this.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make Samba passwords changeable (again) via GOsa².&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fix generation of LM and NT password hashes via GOsa² to avoid
    empty password hashes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adapted Samba machine domain joining to latest change in the
    smbldap-tools Perl package, fixing bugs blocking Windows machines
    from joining the Samba domain.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;KDE fails to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
    not use the http proxy as it should.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chromium also fails to use the proxy when using the KDE desktop
    (using the KDE configuration).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To download the multiarch netinstall CD release you can use&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Intel 180 SSD disk with Lenovo firmware can not use Intel firmware</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_180_SSD_disk_with_Lenovo_firmware_can_not_use_Intel_firmware.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_180_SSD_disk_with_Lenovo_firmware_can_not_use_Intel_firmware.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sun, 18 Aug 2013 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Earlier, I reported about
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html&quot;&gt;my
problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk&lt;/a&gt;.  Friday I was
told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away.  And as
there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
currently on the disk.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
&lt;a href=&quot;https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&amp;ProdId=3472&amp;DwnldID=18363&amp;ProductFamily=Solid-State+Drives+and+Caching&amp;ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+High+Performance+Solid-State+Drive&amp;ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+SSD+520+Series+(180GB%2c+2.5in+SATA+6Gb%2fs%2c+25nm%2c+MLC)&amp;lang=eng&quot;&gt;issdfut_2.0.4.iso&lt;/a&gt;
(aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
disks.  I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
booted the ISO from a USB stick.  The disk was recognized, but the
program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
to insert any Intel firmware.  So no change, and the disk is still
unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware.  No idea how likely
that is.  Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness.  I
got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
the broken disks.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>90 percent done with the Norwegian draft translation of Free Culture</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/90_percent_done_with_the_Norwegian_draft_translation_of_Free_Culture.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/90_percent_done_with_the_Norwegian_draft_translation_of_Free_Culture.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Fri, 2 Aug 2013 10:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
have worked on a Norwegian
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
progress of the translation:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is still need for translators and people with docbook
knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
project files currently available from
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
the updated
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
and
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true&quot;&gt;EPUB&lt;/a&gt;
are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;
