-      Elektronisk stemmegiving over Internet og datalagringsdirektivet
-       7th August 2011
-      I dag slo det meg hvordan Datalagringsdirektivet vil kunne gjÃ¸re
-det enklere Ã¥ vite hvem som har stemt hva med elektronisk stemmegiving
-slik den planlegges gjennomfÃ¸rt i Norge i hÃ¸st.
-
-Litt bakgrunnsinformasjon er kanskje nÃ¸dvendig.  Siden fÃ¸r 2006 har
-staten
-jobbet med Ã¥ fÃ¥ pÃ¥ plass elektronisk stemmegiving i Norge, der
-borgerne kan stemme via en datamaskin i et stemmelokale eller via en
-nettleser over Internet.  Slike valg
-er
-mindre demokratiske enn de valgene vi har hatt i Norge de siste
-Ã¥rene.  En kan anta at for hver stemme som blir registrert i et slikt
-system vil det notert tidspunktet stemmen ble registrert.
-
-I mars i Ã¥r vedtok stortinget Ã¥ innfÃ¸re
-elektronisk
-brev- og besÃ¸kskontroll av hele Norges befolkning, da en vedtok at
-EUs datalagringsdirektiv skulle innlemmes i det norske lovverket.
-Denne kommunikasjonskontrollen innebÃ¦rer blant annet at oppkoblinger
-med nettleser blir registert.  Det som ble vedtatt i mars innebÃ¦rer
-ikke at det blir registrert hvilken nettside en besÃ¸kte, men det vil
-bli registrert en forbindelse mellom datamaskinene som er involvert.
-Dvs. nÃ¥r en besÃ¸ker http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20110809-forgerock/
-fra sin maskin med adressen cm-84.208.83.178.getinternet.no (tilfeldig
-valgt adresse for Get-kunde), sÃ¥ vil tidspunktet, og adressene
-www.nuug.no og cm-84.208.83.178.getinternet.no bli registrert.  En kan
-bruke adressen cm-*.getinternet.no til Ã¥ identifisere
-kunde/husstand.
-
-Gitt at elektronisk stemmegiving via nettleser over Internet vil
-koble seg opp til datamaskinen som samler inn stemmer, sÃ¥ vil en altsÃ¥
-ha et register over hver enkelt stemme knyttet mot tidspunkt, og et
-annet register som viser nÃ¥r kunder/husstander koblet seg opp mot
-datamaskinen som samler inn stemmer.  Ved Ã¥ koble disse registrene ved
-hjelp av tidspunktet registrert i begge vil det ofte vÃ¦re mulig Ã¥
-finne ut hva kunder/husstander har stemt, uten Ã¥ mÃ¥tte knekke
-kryptering involvert i selve stemmesankingsystemet.  Det vil vÃ¦re
-mindre treffsikkert hvis flere stemmer blir registrert pÃ¥ samme
-tidspunkt, hvis stemmene er gitt til forskjellige partier, men en vil
-ha en viss ide hvilke partier det mÃ¥ ha vÃ¦rt ved Ã¥ se hvilke partier
-som fikk stemmer pÃ¥ det aktuelle tidspunktet.
-
-Hvordan kan en vite at dette ikke blir gjort i dag?  Det vil vÃ¦re
-umulig for en borger Ã¥ kontrollere hva som skjer pÃ¥ datamaskinen som
-samler inn stemmer.  De som stÃ¥r bak den norske elektroniske
-stemmegivingslÃ¸sningen har gitt ut kildekode som hevdes Ã¥ vÃ¦re
-identisk med den som brukes til innsamling av stemmer, men det er ikke
-mulig for innbyggerne i Norge Ã¥ kontrollere at den kildekoden er brukt
-til Ã¥ lage programmene som brukes.  Det vil f.eks. vÃ¦re trivielt for
-de som kontrollerer denne datamaskinen Ã¥ legge inn ekstra kode som
-sender kopi av alle stemmer til en annen database utenfor valgstyrenes
-kontroll.  Det pÃ¥stÃ¥s fra USA at det ble gjort med noen av de
-elektroniske stemmegivingsboksene der.  Kanskje det pÃ¥stÃ¥s at
-stemmetellings-systemet ikke vil notere tidspunkt for hver enkelt
-stemme, men ogsÃ¥ dette vil det vÃ¦re umulig for oss innbyggerne Ã¥
-egenhendig kontrollere.  Jeg vil ha valgsystemer som hver enkelt
-innbygger kan kontrollere, ikke et der vi mÃ¥ stole pÃ¥ pÃ¥stander om
-systemet som ikke kan kontrolleres av hver enkelt innbygger.

-		<p>I dag slo det meg hvordan Datalagringsdirektivet vil kunne gjÃ¸re
-det enklere Ã¥ vite hvem som har stemt hva med elektronisk stemmegiving
-slik den planlegges gjennomfÃ¸rt i Norge i hÃ¸st.</p>
-
-<p>Litt bakgrunnsinformasjon er kanskje nÃ¸dvendig.  Siden fÃ¸r 2006 har
-<a href="http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/krd/prosjekter/E-valg-2011-prosjektet.html">staten
-jobbet med Ã¥ fÃ¥ pÃ¥ plass elektronisk stemmegiving</a> i Norge, der
-borgerne kan stemme via en datamaskin i et stemmelokale eller via en
-nettleser over Internet.  Slike valg
-<a href="http://www.nuug.no/dokumenter/valg-horing-2006-09.pdf">er
-mindre demokratiske</a> enn de valgene vi har hatt i Norge de siste
-Ã¥rene.  En kan anta at for hver stemme som blir registrert i et slikt
-system vil det notert tidspunktet stemmen ble registrert.</p>
-
-<p>I mars i Ã¥r vedtok stortinget Ã¥ innfÃ¸re
-<a href="http://bsdly.blogspot.com/2010/12/ikke-styrket-personvern-men-brev-og.html">elektronisk
-brev- og besÃ¸kskontroll av hele Norges befolkning</a>, da en vedtok at
-EUs datalagringsdirektiv skulle innlemmes i det norske lovverket.
-Denne kommunikasjonskontrollen innebÃ¦rer blant annet at oppkoblinger
-med nettleser blir registert.  Det som ble vedtatt i mars innebÃ¦rer
-ikke at det blir registrert hvilken nettside en besÃ¸kte, men det vil
-bli registrert en forbindelse mellom datamaskinene som er involvert.
-Dvs. nÃ¥r en besÃ¸ker http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20110809-forgerock/
-fra sin maskin med adressen cm-84.208.83.178.getinternet.no (tilfeldig
-valgt adresse for Get-kunde), sÃ¥ vil tidspunktet, og adressene
-www.nuug.no og cm-84.208.83.178.getinternet.no bli registrert.  En kan
-bruke adressen cm-*.getinternet.no til Ã¥ identifisere
-kunde/husstand.</p>
-
-<p>Gitt at elektronisk stemmegiving via nettleser over Internet vil
-koble seg opp til datamaskinen som samler inn stemmer, sÃ¥ vil en altsÃ¥
-ha et register over hver enkelt stemme knyttet mot tidspunkt, og et
-annet register som viser nÃ¥r kunder/husstander koblet seg opp mot
-datamaskinen som samler inn stemmer.  Ved Ã¥ koble disse registrene ved
-hjelp av tidspunktet registrert i begge vil det ofte vÃ¦re mulig Ã¥
-finne ut hva kunder/husstander har stemt, uten Ã¥ mÃ¥tte knekke
-kryptering involvert i selve stemmesankingsystemet.  Det vil vÃ¦re
-mindre treffsikkert hvis flere stemmer blir registrert pÃ¥ samme
-tidspunkt, hvis stemmene er gitt til forskjellige partier, men en vil
-ha en viss ide hvilke partier det mÃ¥ ha vÃ¦rt ved Ã¥ se hvilke partier
-som fikk stemmer pÃ¥ det aktuelle tidspunktet.</p>
-
-<p>Hvordan kan en vite at dette ikke blir gjort i dag?  Det vil vÃ¦re
-umulig for en borger Ã¥ kontrollere hva som skjer pÃ¥ datamaskinen som
-samler inn stemmer.  De som stÃ¥r bak den norske elektroniske
-stemmegivingslÃ¸sningen har gitt ut kildekode som hevdes Ã¥ vÃ¦re
-identisk med den som brukes til innsamling av stemmer, men det er ikke
-mulig for innbyggerne i Norge Ã¥ kontrollere at den kildekoden er brukt
-til Ã¥ lage programmene som brukes.  Det vil f.eks. vÃ¦re trivielt for
-de som kontrollerer denne datamaskinen Ã¥ legge inn ekstra kode som
-sender kopi av alle stemmer til en annen database utenfor valgstyrenes
-kontroll.  Det pÃ¥stÃ¥s fra USA at det ble gjort med noen av de
-elektroniske stemmegivingsboksene der.  Kanskje det pÃ¥stÃ¥s at
-stemmetellings-systemet ikke vil notere tidspunkt for hver enkelt
-stemme, men ogsÃ¥ dette vil det vÃ¦re umulig for oss innbyggerne Ã¥
-egenhendig kontrollere.  Jeg vil ha valgsystemer som hver enkelt
-innbygger kan kontrollere, ikke et der vi mÃ¥ stole pÃ¥ pÃ¥stander om
-systemet som ikke kan kontrolleres av hver enkelt innbygger.</p>

+                Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:00:00 +0100
+		<p>At work we have heaps of servers.  I believe the total count is
+around 1000 at the moment.  To be able to get help from the vendors
+when something go wrong, we want to keep the firmware on the servers
+up to date.  If the firmware isn't the latest and greatest, the
+vendors typically refuse to start debugging any problems until the
+firmware is upgraded.  So before every reboot, we want to upgrade the
+firmware, and we would really like everyone handling servers at the
+university to do this themselves when they plan to reboot a machine.
+For that to happen we at the unix server admin group need to provide
+the tools to do so.</p>
+
+<p>To make firmware upgrading easier, I am working on a script to
+fetch and install the latest firmware for the servers we got.  Most of
+our hardware are from Dell and HP, so I have focused on these servers
+so far.  This blog post is about the Dell part.</P>
+
+<p>On the Dell FTP site I was lucky enough to find
+<a href="ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/catalog/Catalog.xml.gz">an XML file</a>
+with firmware information for all 11th generation servers, listing
+which firmware should be used on a given model and where on the FTP
+site I can find it.  Using a simple perl XML parser I can then
+download the shell scripts Dell provides to do firmware upgrades from
+within Linux and reboot when all the firmware is primed and ready to
+be activated on the first reboot.</p>
+
+<p>This is the Dell related fragment of the perl code I am working on.
+Are there anyone working on similar tools for firmware upgrading all
+servers at a site?  Please get in touch and lets share resources.</p>

+        Automatically upgrading server firmware on Dell PowerEdge
+      
+      
+        21st November 2011
+      
+      
+        At work we have heaps of servers.  I believe the total count is
+around 1000 at the moment.  To be able to get help from the vendors
+when something go wrong, we want to keep the firmware on the servers
+up to date.  If the firmware isn't the latest and greatest, the
+vendors typically refuse to start debugging any problems until the
+firmware is upgraded.  So before every reboot, we want to upgrade the
+firmware, and we would really like everyone handling servers at the
+university to do this themselves when they plan to reboot a machine.
+For that to happen we at the unix server admin group need to provide
+the tools to do so.
+
+To make firmware upgrading easier, I am working on a script to
+fetch and install the latest firmware for the servers we got.  Most of
+our hardware are from Dell and HP, so I have focused on these servers
+so far.  This blog post is about the Dell part.
+
+On the Dell FTP site I was lucky enough to find
+an XML file
+with firmware information for all 11th generation servers, listing
+which firmware should be used on a given model and where on the FTP
+site I can find it.  Using a simple perl XML parser I can then
+download the shell scripts Dell provides to do firmware upgrades from
+within Linux and reboot when all the firmware is primed and ready to
+be activated on the first reboot.
+
+This is the Dell related fragment of the perl code I am working on.
+Are there anyone working on similar tools for firmware upgrading all
+servers at a site?  Please get in touch and lets share resources.
