+ <div class="body"><p><a href="https://linuxcnc.org/">The LinuxCNC project</a> is still
+going strong. And I believe this great software system for numerical control of
+machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers,
+cutting machines, robots and hexapods, would do even better with more
+in-person developer gatherings, so we plan to organise such gathering
+this summer too.</p>
+
+<p>The Norwegian LinuxCNC developer gathering take place the weekend
+Friday July 5th to 7th this year, and is open for everyone interested
+in contributing to LinuxCNC and free software manufacturing. Up to
+date information about the gathering can be found in
+<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/emc/mailman/emc-developers/thread/123eaae0-f3b9-4170-a251-b7d608f1e974%40bofh.no/">the
+developer mailing list thread</a> where the gathering was announced.
+Thanks to the good people at
+
+<a href="https://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> as well as leftover money
+from last years gathering from
+<a href="https://www.redpill-linpro.com/">Redpill-Linpro</a> and
+<a href="https://www.nuugfoundation.no/no/">NUUG Foundation</a>, we
+have enough sponsor funds to pay for food, and probably also shelter
+for the people traveling from afar to join us. If you would like to
+join the gathering, get in touch and add your details on
+<a href="https://pad.efn.no/p/linuxcnc-2024-norway">the pad</a>.</p>

- <div class="date">12th November 2023</div>
- <div class="body"><p>For a while now I wanted to have direct access to the
-<a href="https://signal.org/">Signal</a> database of messages and
-channels of my Desktop edition of Signal. I prefer the enforced end
-to end encryption of Signal these days for my communication with
-friends and family, to increase the level of safety and privacy as
-well as raising the cost of the mass surveillance government and
-non-government entities practice these days. In August I came across
-a nice
-<a href="https://www.yoranbrondsema.com/post/the-guide-to-extracting-statistics-from-your-signal-conversations/">recipe
-on how to use sqlcipher to extract statistics from the Signal
-database</a> explaining how to do this. Unfortunately this did not
-work with the version of sqlcipher in Debian. The
-<a href="http://tracker.debian.org/sqlcipher/">sqlcipher</a>
-package is a "fork" of the sqlite package with added support for
-encrypted databases. Sadly the current Debian maintainer
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/961598">announced more than three
-years ago that he did not have time to maintain sqlcipher</a>, so it
-seemed unlikely to be upgraded by the maintainer. I was reluctant to
-take on the job myself, as I have very limited experience maintaining
-shared libraries in Debian. After waiting and hoping for a few
-months, I gave up the last week, and set out to update the package. In
-the process I orphaned it to make it more obvious for the next person
-looking at it that the package need proper maintenance.</p>
-
-<p>The version in Debian was around five years old, and quite a lot of
-changes had taken place upstream into the Debian maintenance git
-repository. After spending a few days importing the new upstream
-versions, realising that upstream did not care much for SONAME
-versioning as I saw library symbols being both added and removed with
-minor version number changes to the project, I concluded that I had to
-do a SONAME bump of the library package to avoid surprising the
-reverse dependencies. I even added a simple
-autopkgtest script to ensure the package work as intended. Dug deep
-into the hole of learning shared library maintenance, I set out a few
-days ago to upload the new version to Debian experimental to see what
-the quality assurance framework in Debian had to say about the result.
-The feedback told me the pacakge was not too shabby, and yesterday I
-uploaded the latest version to Debian unstable. It should enter
-testing today or tomorrow, perhaps delayed by
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/1055812">a small library
-transition</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Armed with a new version of sqlcipher, I can now have a look at the
-SQL database in ~/.config/Signal/sql/db.sqlite. First, one need to
-fetch the encryption key from the Signal configuration using this
-simple JSON extraction command:</p>
-
-<pre>/usr/bin/jq -r '."key"' ~/.config/Signal/config.json</pre>
-
-<p>Assuming the result from that command is 'secretkey', which is a
-hexadecimal number representing the key used to encrypt the database.
-Next, one can now connect to the database and inject the encryption
-key for access via SQL to fetch information from the database. Here
-is an example dumping the database structure:</p>
-
-<pre>
-% sqlcipher ~/.config/Signal/sql/db.sqlite
-sqlite> PRAGMA key = "x'secretkey'";
