Jeg hadde i dag gleden av å oppdage at en artikkel om arkivsystemet Nikita som vi skrev i sommer, nå er publisert i Arkheion, fagtidsskrift for kommunial arkivsektor. Du finner artikkelen på side 30-33 i nummer 2019/2, PDF kan lastes ned fra nettstedet til tidsskriftet. Kanskje publiseringen kan føre til at noen flere får øynene opp for verdien av et åpent standardisert API for arkivering og søk i arkivet.
Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner til min adresse 15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b. Merk, betaling med bitcoin er ikke anonymt. :)

When asked to accept terms of use and privacy policies that state it will to remove rights I otherwise had or accept unreasonable terms undermining my privacy, I choose away the service. I simply do not have the conscience to accept terms I have no indention of upholding. But how are the system and service providers to know how many people they scared away? Normally I just quietly walk away. But today, I tried a new approach. I sent the following email (removing the specifics, as I am not out to take the specific service in question) to the service provider I decided to not use, to at least give them one data point on how many users are unhappy with their terms:
From: Petter Reinholdtsen
Subject: When terms of use turn users away
To: [contact@some.site]
Date: Sat, 07 Dec 2019 16:30:56 +0100Dear [Site Owner],
I was eager to test the system, as it seemed like a fun and interesting application of [some] technology, but after reading the terms of use and privacy policy on <URL: https://www.[some.site]/terms-of-use > and <URL: https://www.[some.site]/privacy-policy > I want you to know that I decided to turn away. There were several provisions in the terms and policy turning me off, but the final term that convinced me was being asked to sign away my right to reverse engineer.

Happy hacking
Petter Reinholdtsen
I do not expect much to come out of it, but sharing it here in case others want to give something similar a try too. If companies discover their terms scare away enough people, perhaps they will be improved...

A little later I'm clearly pondering what to do, including doing another detailed writeup.The downside of maintaining a 55+ thousand entry spamtrap list and whitelisting by SPF is seeing one of the whitelisted sites apparently trying to spam every one of your spamtraps (see https://t.co/ulWt1EloRp). Happening now. Wondering is collecting logs and forwarding worth it?— Peter N. M. Hansteen (@pitrh) November 9, 2018
Fortunately I had had some interaction with this operator earlier, so I knew roughly how to approach them. I wrote a couple of quick messages to their abuse contacts and made sure to include links to both my spamtrap resources and a fresh log excerpt that indicated clearly that someone or someones in their network was indeed progressing from top to bottom of the spamtraps list.Then again it is an indication that the collected noise is now a required part of the spammer lexicon. One might want to point sites at throwing away outgoing messages to any address on https://t.co/3uthWgKWmL (direct link to list https://t.co/mTaBpF5ucU - beware of html tags!).— Peter N. M. Hansteen (@pitrh) November 9, 2018
As the last tweet says, delivery attempts stopped after progressing to somewhere into the Cs. The moral might be that a list of spamtraps like the one I publish might be useful for other sites to filtering their outgoing mail. Any activity involving the known-bad addresses would be a strong indication that somebody made a very unwise purchasing decision involving address lists.I ended up contacting their abuse@ with pointers to the logs that showed evidence of several similar campaigns over the last few days (the period I cared to look at) plus pointers to the spamtrap list and articles. About 30m after the second email to abuse@ the activity stopped.— Peter N. M. Hansteen (@pitrh) November 10, 2018

Time for my annual “oh shit, I forgot to bump the copyright year again” round-up!
In the F/OSS community, there are two different philosophies when it comes to applying copyright statements to a project. If the code base consists exclusively (or almost exclusively) of code developed for that specific project by the project’s author or co-authors, many projects will have a single file (usually named LICENSE) containing the license, a list of copyright holders, and the copyright dates or ranges. However, if the code base incorporates a significant body of code taken from other projects or contributed by parties outside the project, it is customary to include the copyright statements and either the complete license or a reference to it in each individual file. In my experience, projects that use the BSD, ISC, MIT, adjacent licenses tend to use the latter model regardless.
The advantage of the second model is that it’s hard to get wrong. You might forget to add a name to a central list, but you’re far less likely to forget to state the name of the author when you add a new file. The disadvantage is that it’s really, really easy to forget to update the copyright year when you commit a change to an existing file that hasn’t been touched in a while.
So, how can we automate this?
One possibility is to have a pre-commit hook that updates it for you (generally a bad idea), or one that rejects the commit if it thinks you forgot (better, but not perfect; what if you’re adding a file from an outside source?), or one that prints a big fat warning if it thinks you forgot (much better, especially with Git since you can commit --amend once you’ve fixed it, before pushing).
But how do you fix the mistake retroactively, without poring over commit logs to figure out what was modified when?
Let’s start by assuming that you have a list of files that were modified in 2017, and that each file only has one copyright statement that needs to be updated to reflect that fact. The following Perl one-liner should do the trick:
perl -p -i -e 'if (/Copyright/) { s/ ([0-9]{4})-20(?:0[0-9]|1[0-6]) / $1-2017 /; s/ (20(?:0[0-9]|1[0-6])) / $1-2017 /; }'
It should be fairly self-explanatory if you know regular expressions. The first substitution handles the case where the existing statement contains a range, in which case we extend it to include 2017, and the second substitution handles the case where the existing statement contains a single year, which we replace with a range starting with the original year and ending with 2017. The complexity stems mostly from having to take care not to replace 2018 (or later) with 2017; our regexes only match years in the range 2000-2016.
OK, so now we know how to fix the files, but how do we figure out which ones need fixing?
With Git, we could try something like this:
git diff --name-only 'HEAD@{2017-01-01}..HEAD@{2018-01-01}'
This is… imperfect, though. The first problem is that it will list every file that was touched, including files that were added, moved, renamed, or deleted. Files that were added should be assumed to have had a correct copyright statement at the time they were added; files that were only moved or renamed should not be updated, since their contents did not change; and files that were deleted are no longer there to be updated.¹ We should restrict our search to files that were actually modified:
git diff --name-only --diff-filter M 'HEAD@{2017-01-01}..HEAD@{2018-01-01}'
Some of those changes might be too trivial to copyright, though. This is a fairly complex legal matter, but to simplify, if the change was inevitable and there was no room for creative expression — for instance, a function in a third-party library you are using was renamed, so both the reason for the change and the nature of the change are external to the work itself — then it is not protected. So perhaps you should remove --name-only and review the diff, which is when you realize that half those files were only modified to update their copyright statements because you forgot to do so in 2016. Let’s try to exclude them mechanically, rather than manually. Unfortunately, git diff does not have anything that resembles diff -I, so we have to write our own diff command which does that, and ask git to use it:
$ echo 'exec diff -u -ICopyright "$@"' >diff-no-copyright
$ chmod a+rx diff-no-copyright
$ git difftool --diff-filter M --extcmd $PWD/diff-no-copyright 'HEAD@{2017-01-01}..HEAD@{2018-01-01}'
This gives us a diff, though, not a list of files. We can try to extract the names as follows:
$ git difftool --diff-filter M --no-prompt --extcmd $PWD/diff-no-copyright 'HEAD@{2017-01-01}..HEAD@{2018-01-01}' | awk '/^---/ { print $2 }'
Wait… no, that’s just garbage. The thing is, git difftool works by checking out both versions of a file and diffing them, so what we get is a list of the names of the temporary files it created. We have to be a little more creative:
$ echo '/usr/bin/diff -q -ICopyright "$@" >/dev/null || echo "$BASE"' >list-no-copyright
$ chmod a+rx list-no-copyright
$ git difftool --diff-filter M --no-prompt --extcmd $PWD/list-no-copyright 'HEAD@{2017-01-01}..HEAD@{2018-01-01}'
Much better. We can glue this together with our Perl one-liner using xargs, then repeat the process for 2018.
Finally, how about Subversion? On the one hand, Subversion is far simpler than Git, so we can get 90% of the way much more easily. On the other hand, Subversion is far less flexible than Git, so we can’t go the last 10% of the way. Here’s the best I could do:
$ echo 'exec diff -u -ICopyright "$@"' >diff-no-copyright
$ chmod a+rx diff-no-copyright
$ svn diff --ignore-properties --diff-cmd $PWD/diff-no-copyright -r'{2017-01-01}:{2018-01-01}' | awk '/^---/ { print $2 }'
This will not work properly if you have files with names that contain whitespace; you’ll have to use sed with a much more complicated regex, which I leave as an exercise.
¹ I will leave the issue of move-and-modify being incorrectly recorded as delete-and-add to the reader. One possibility is to include added files in the list by using --diff-filter AM, and review them manually before committing.

With the arrival of OpenSSL 1.1.1, an upgraded Unbound, and some changes to the setup and init scripts, FreeBSD 12.0, currently in beta, now supports DNS over TLS out of the box.
DNS over TLS is just what it sounds like: DNS over TCP, but wrapped in a TLS session. It encrypts your requests and the server’s replies, and optionally allows you to verify the identity of the server. The advantages are protection against eavesdropping and manipulation of your DNS traffic; the drawbacks are a slight performance degradation and potential firewall traversal issues, as it runs over a non-standard port (TCP port 853) which may be blocked on some networks. Let’s take a look at how to set it up.
As a simple test case, let’s set up our 12.0-ALPHA10 VM to use Cloudflare’s DNS service:
# uname -r
12.0-ALPHA10
# cat >/etc/rc.conf.d/local_unbound <<EOF
local_unbound_enable="YES"
local_unbound_tls="YES"
local_unbound_forwarders="1.1.1.1@853 1.0.0.1@853"
EOF
# service local_unbound start
Performing initial setup.
destination:
/var/unbound/forward.conf created
/var/unbound/lan-zones.conf created
/var/unbound/control.conf created
/var/unbound/unbound.conf created
/etc/resolvconf.conf not modified
Original /etc/resolv.conf saved as /var/backups/resolv.conf.20181021.192629
Starting local_unbound.
Waiting for nameserver to start... good
# host www.freebsd.org
www.freebsd.org is an alias for wfe0.nyi.freebsd.org.
wfe0.nyi.freebsd.org has address 96.47.72.84
wfe0.nyi.freebsd.org has IPv6 address 2610:1c1:1:606c::50:15
wfe0.nyi.freebsd.org mail is handled by 0 .
Note that this is not a configuration you want to run in production—we will come back to this later.
The downside of DNS over TLS is the performance hit of the TCP and TLS session setup and teardown. We demonstrate this by flushing our cache and (rather crudely) measuring a cache miss and a cache hit:
# local-unbound-control reload
ok
# time host www.freebsd.org >x
host www.freebsd.org > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.553 total
# time host www.freebsd.org >x
host www.freebsd.org > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.005 total
Compare this to querying our router, a puny Soekris net5501 running Unbound 1.8.1 on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE:
# time host www.freebsd.org gw >x
host www.freebsd.org gw > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.232 total
# time host www.freebsd.org 192.168.144.1 >x
host www.freebsd.org gw > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.008 total
or to querying Cloudflare directly over UDP:
# time host www.freebsd.org 1.1.1.1 >x
host www.freebsd.org 1.1.1.1 > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.272 total
# time host www.freebsd.org 1.1.1.1 >x
host www.freebsd.org 1.1.1.1 > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.013 total
(Cloudflare uses anycast routing, so it is not so unreasonable to see a cache miss during off-peak hours.)
This clearly shows the advantage of running a local caching resolver—it absorbs the cost of DNSSEC and TLS. And speaking of DNSSEC, we can separate that cost from that of TLS by reconfiguring our server without the latter:
# cat >/etc/rc.conf.d/local_unbound <<EOF
local_unbound_enable="YES"
local_unbound_tls="NO"
local_unbound_forwarders="1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1"
EOF
# service local_unbound setup
Performing initial setup.
destination:

# time host www.freebsd.org >x

# time host www.freebsd.org >x
host www.freebsd.org > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.004 total
So does TLS add nearly half a second to every cache miss? Not quite, fortunately—in our previous tests, our first query was not only a cache miss but also the first query after a restart or a cache flush, resulting in a complete load and validation of the entire path from the name we queried to the root. The difference between a first and second cache miss is quite noticeable:
# time host www.freebsd.org >x
host www.freebsd.org > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.546 total
# time host www.freebsd.org >x
host www.freebsd.org > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.004 total
# time host repo.freebsd.org >x
host repo.freebsd.org > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.168 total
# time host repo.freebsd.org >x
host repo.freebsd.org > x 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 0.004 total
Remember when I said that you shouldn’t run the sample configuration in production, and that I’d get back to it later? This is later.
The problem with our first configuration is that while it encrypts our DNS traffic, it does not verify the identity of the server. Our ISP could be routing all traffic to 1.1.1.1 to its own servers, logging it, and selling the information to the highest bidder. We need to tell Unbound to validate the server certificate, but there’s a catch: Unbound only knows the IP addresses of its forwarders, not their names. We have to provide it with names that will match the x509 certificates used by the servers we want to use. Let’s double-check the certificate:
# :| openssl s_client -connect 1.1.1.1:853 |& openssl x509 -noout -text |& grep DNSDNS:*.cloudflare-dns.com, IP Address:1.1.1.1, IP Address:1.0.0.1, DNS:cloudflare-dns.com, IP Address:2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:1111, IP Address:2606:4700:4700:0:0:0:0:1001
This matches Cloudflare’s documentation, so let’s update our configuration:
# cat >/etc/rc.conf.d/local_unbound <<EOF
local_unbound_enable="YES"
local_unbound_tls="YES"
local_unbound_forwarders="1.1.1.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com 1.0.0.1@853#cloudflare-dns.com"
EOF
# service local_unbound setup

wfe0.nyi.freebsd.org mail is handled by 0 .
How can we confirm that Unbound actually validates the certificate? Well, we can run Unbound in debug mode (/usr/sbin/unbound -dd -vvv) and read the debugging output… or we can confirm that it fails when given a name that does not match the certificate:
# perl -p -i -e 's/cloudflare/cloudfire/g' /etc/rc.conf.d/local_unbound
# service local_unbound setup
Performing initial setup.

# host www.freebsd.org
Host www.freebsd.org not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
But is this really a failure to validate the certificate? Actually, no. When provided with a server name, Unbound will pass it to the server during the TLS handshake, and the server will reject the handshake if that name does not match any of its certificates. To truly verify that Unbound validates the server certificate, we have to confirm that it fails when it cannot do so. For instance, we can remove the root certificate used to sign the DNS server’s certificate from the test system’s trust store. Note that we cannot simply remove the trust store entirely, as Unbound will refuse to start if the trust store is missing or empty.
While we’re talking about trust stores, I should point out that you currently must have ca_root_nss installed for DNS over TLS to work. However, 12.0-RELEASE will ship with a pre-installed copy.
We’ve seen how to set up Unbound—specifically, the local_unbound service in FreeBSD 12.0—to use DNS over TLS instead of plain UDP or TCP, using Cloudflare’s public DNS service as an example. We’ve looked at the performance impact, and at how to ensure (and verify) that Unbound validates the server certificate to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
The question that remains is whether it is all worth it. There is undeniably a performance hit, though this may improve with TLS 1.3. More importantly, there are currently very few DNS-over-TLS providers—only one, really, since Quad9 filter their responses—and you have to weigh the advantage of encrypting your DNS traffic against the disadvantage of sending it all to a single organization. I can’t answer that question for you, but I can tell you that the parameters are evolving quickly, and if your answer is negative today, it may not remain so for long. More providers will appear. Performance will improve with TLS 1.3 and QUIC. Within a year or two, running DNS over TLS may very well become the rule rather than the experimental exception.

Following up on the CentOS 7 root filesystem on tmpfs post, here comes a guide on how to run a ZFS enabled CentOS 7 NAS server (with the operating system) from tmpfs.
The disk image is built in macOS using Packer and VirtualBox. Virtualbox is installed using the appropriate platform package that is downloaded from their website, and Packer is installed using brew:
$ brew install packer
Three files are needed in order to build the disk image; a Packer template file, an Anaconda kickstart file and a shell script that is used to configure the disk image after installation. The following files can be used as examples:
template.json (Packer template example file)ks.cfg (Anaconda kickstart example file)provision.sh (Provision shell script example file)Create some directories:
$ mkdir ~work/centos-7-zfs/
$ mkdir ~work/centos-7-zfs/http/
$ mkdir ~work/centos-7-zfs/scripts/
Copy the files to these directories:
$ cp template.json ~work/centos-7-zfs/
$ cp ks.cfg ~work/centos-7-zfs/http/
$ cp provision.sh ~work/centos-7-zfs/scripts/
Modify each of the files to fit your environment.
Start the build process using Packer:
$ cd ~work/centos-7-zfs/
$ packer build template.json
This will download the CentOS 7 ISO file, start an HTTP server to serve the kickstart file and start a virtual machine using Virtualbox:
The virtual machine will boot into Anaconda and run through the installation process as specified in the kickstart file:
When the installation process is complete, the disk image will be available in the output-virtualbox-iso folder with the vmdk extension.
The disk image is now ready to be put in initramfs.
This section is quite similar to the previous blog post CentOS 7 root filesystem on tmpfs but with minor differences. For simplicity reasons it is executed on a host running CentOS 7.
Create the build directories:
$ mkdir /work
$ mkdir /work/newroot
$ mkdir /work/result
Export the files from the disk image to one of the directories we created earlier:
$ export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct
$ guestfish --ro -a packer-virtualbox-iso-1508790384-disk001.vmdk -i copy-out / /work/newroot/
Modify /etc/fstab:
$ cat > /work/newroot/etc/fstab << EOF
tmpfs / tmpfs defaults,noatime 0 0
none /dev devtmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
EOF
Disable selinux:
echo "SELINUX=disabled" > /work/newroot/etc/selinux/config
Disable clearing the screen on login failure to make it possible to read any error messages:
mkdir /work/newroot/etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d
cat > /work/newroot/etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/noclear.conf << EOF
[Service]
TTYVTDisallocate=no
EOF
Now jump to the Initramfs and Result sections in the CentOS 7 root filesystem on tmpfs and follow those steps until the end when the result is a vmlinuz and initramfs file.
The first time the NAS server boots on the disk image, the ZFS storage pool and volumes will have to be configured. Refer to the ZFS documentation for information on how to do this, and use the following command only as guidelines.
Create the storage pool:
$ sudo zpool create data mirror sda sdb mirror sdc sdd
Create the volumes:
$ sudo zfs create data/documents
$ sudo zfs create data/games
$ sudo zfs create data/movies
$ sudo zfs create data/music
$ sudo zfs create data/pictures
$ sudo zfs create data/upload
Share some volumes using NFS:
zfs set sharenfs=on data/documents
zfs set sharenfs=on data/games
zfs set sharenfs=on data/music
zfs set sharenfs=on data/pictures
Print the storage pool status:
$ sudo zpool status

I følge gammel nordisk mytologi voktes kunnskapens kilde av Mime og ligger under en av røttene til verdenstreet Yggdrasil. Å drikke av vannet i Mimes brønn ga så verdifull kunnskap og visdom at den unge guden Odin var villig til å gi et øye i pant og bli enøyd for å få lov til å drikke av den.
Nettstedet vedlikeholdes av foreningen NUUG og er spesielt godt egnet for politisk interesserte personer, organisasjoner og journalister. Tjenesten er basert på den britiske søstertjenesten WhatDoTheyKnow.com, som allerede har gitt innsyn som har resultert i dokumentarer og utallige presseoppslag. I følge mySociety for noen år siden gikk ca 20 % av innsynshenvendelsene til sentrale myndigheter via WhatDoTheyKnow. Vi i NUUG håper NUUGs tjeneste Mimes brønn kan være like nyttig for innbyggerne i Norge.
I helgen ble tjenesten oppdatert med mye ny funksjonalitet. Den nye utgaven fungerer bedre på små skjermer, og viser nå leveringsstatus for henvendelsene slik at innsender enklere kan sjekke at mottakers epostsystem har bekreftet mottak av innsynshenvendelsen. Tjenesten er satt opp av frivillige i foreningen NUUG på dugnad, og ble lansert sommeren 2015. Siden den gang har 121 brukere sendt inn mer enn 280 henvendelser om alt fra bryllupsutleie av Operaen og forhandlinger om bruk av Norges topp-DNS-domene .bv til journalføring av søknader om bostøtte, og nettstedet er en liten skattekiste av interessant og nyttig informasjon. NUUG har knyttet til seg jurister som kan bistå med å klage på manglende innsyn eller sviktende saksbehandling.
– «NUUGs Mimes brønn var uvurderlig da vi lyktes med å sikre at DNS-toppdomenet .bv fortsatt er på norske hender,» forteller Håkon Wium Lie.
Tjenesten dokumenterer svært sprikende praksis i håndtering av innsynshenvendelser, både når det gjelder responstid og innhold i svarene. De aller fleste håndteres raskt og korrekt, men det er i flere tilfeller gitt innsyn i dokumenter der ansvarlig etat i ettertid ønsker å trekke innsynet tilbake, og det er gitt innsyn der sladdingen har vært utført på en måte som ikke skjuler informasjonen som skal sladdes.
– «Offentlighetsloven er en bærebjelke for vårt demokrati. Den bryr seg ikke med hvem som ber om innsyn, eller hvorfor. Prosjektet Mimes brønn innebærer en materialisering av dette prinsippet, der hvem som helst kan be om innsyn og klage på avslag, og hvor dokumentasjon gjøres offentlig. Dette gjør Mimes Brønn til et av de mest spennende åpenhetsprosjektene jeg har sett i nyere tid.» forteller mannen som fikk åpnet opp eierskapsregisteret til skatteetaten, Vegard Venli.
Vi i foreningen NUUG håper Mimes brønn kan være et nyttig verktøy for å holde vårt demokrati ved like.

Several years ago I wrote a series of posts on how to run EL6 with its root filesystem on tmpfs. This post is a continuation of that series, and explains step by step how to run CentOS 7 with its root filesystem in memory. It should apply to RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian and other Linux distributions as well. The post is a bit terse to focus on the concept, and several of the steps have potential for improvements.
The following is a screen recording from a host running CentOS 7 in tmpfs:
A build host is needed to prepare the image to boot from. The build host should run CentOS 7 x86_64, and have the following packages installed:
yum install libvirt libguestfs-tools guestfish
Make sure the libvirt daemon is running:
systemctl start libvirtd
Create some directories that will be used later, however feel free to relocate these to somewhere else:
mkdir -p /work/initramfs/bin
mkdir -p /work/newroot
mkdir -p /work/result
For simplicity reasons we’ll fetch our rootfs from a pre-built disk image, but it is possible to build a custom disk image using virt-manager. I expect that most people would like to create their own disk image from scratch, but this is outside the scope of this post.
Use virt-builder to download a pre-built CentOS 7.3 disk image and set the root password:
virt-builder centos-7.3 -o /work/disk.img --root-password password:changeme
Export the files from the disk image to one of the directories we created earlier:
guestfish --ro -a /work/disk.img -i copy-out / /work/newroot/
Clear fstab since it contains mount entries that no longer apply:
echo > /work/newroot/etc/fstab
SELinux will complain about incorrect disk label at boot, so let’s just disable it right away. Production environments should have SELinux enabled.
echo "SELINUX=disabled" > /work/newroot/etc/selinux/config
Disable clearing the screen on login failure to make it possible to read any error messages:
mkdir /work/newroot/etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d
cat > /work/newroot/etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/noclear.conf << EOF
[Service]
TTYVTDisallocate=no
EOF
We’ll create our custom initramfs from scratch. The boot procedure will be, simply put:
/init (in the initramfs).tmpfs mount point.tmpfs mount point.switch_root to boot on the CentOS 7 root filesystem.The initramfs will be based on BusyBox. Download a pre-built binary or compile it from source, put the binary in the initramfs/bin directory. In this post I’ll just download a pre-built binary:
wget -O /work/initramfs/bin/busybox https://www.busybox.net/downloads/binaries/1.26.1-defconfig-multiarch/busybox-x86_64
Make sure that busybox has the execute bit set:
chmod +x /work/initramfs/bin/busybox
Create the file /work/initramfs/init with the following contents:
#!/bin/busybox sh
# Dump to sh if something fails
error() {
echo "Jumping into the shell..."
setsid cttyhack sh
}
# Populate /bin with binaries from busybox
/bin/busybox --install /bin
mkdir -p /proc
mount -t proc proc /proc
mkdir -p /sys
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
mkdir -p /sys/dev
mkdir -p /var/run
mkdir -p /dev
mkdir -p /dev/pts
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
# Populate /dev
echo /bin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
mdev -s
mkdir -p /newroot
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1500m tmpfs /newroot || error
echo "Extracting rootfs... "
xz -d -c -f rootfs.tar.xz | tar -x -f - -C /newroot || error
mount --move /sys /newroot/sys
mount --move /proc /newroot/proc
mount --move /dev /newroot/dev
exec switch_root /newroot /sbin/init || error
Make sure it is executable:
chmod +x /work/initramfs/init
Create the root filesystem archive using tar. The following command also uses xz compression to reduce the final size of the archive (from approximately 1 GB to 270 MB):
cd /work/newroot
tar cJf /work/initramfs/rootfs.tar.xz .
Create initramfs.gz using:
cd /work/initramfs
find . -print0 | cpio --null -ov --format=newc | gzip -9 > /work/result/initramfs.gz
Copy the kernel directly from the root filesystem using:
cp /work/newroot/boot/vmlinuz-*x86_64 /work/result/vmlinuz
The /work/result directory now contains two files with file sizes similar to the following:
ls -lh /work/result/
total 277M
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 272M Jan 6 23:42 initramfs.gz
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5.2M Jan 6 23:42 vmlinuz
These files can be loaded directly in GRUB from disk, or using iPXE over HTTP using a script similar to:
#!ipxe
kernel http://example.com/vmlinuz
initrd http://example.com/initramfs.gz
boot
Mimes brønn har nå vært oppe i rundt et år. Derfor vi tenkte det kunne være interessant å få en kortfattet statistikk om hvordan tjenesten er blitt brukt.
I begynnelsen av juli 2016 hadde Mimes brønn 71 registrerte brukere som hadde sendt ut 120 innsynshenvendelser, hvorav 62 (52%) var vellykkede, 19 (16%) delvis vellykket, 14 (12%) avslått, 10 (8%) fikk svar at organet ikke hadde informasjonen, og 12 henvendelser (10%; 6 fra 2016, 6 fra 2015) fortsatt var ubesvarte. Et fåtall (3) av hendvendelsene kunne ikke kategoriseres. Vi ser derfor at rundt to tredjedeler av henvendelsene var vellykkede, helt eller delvis. Det er bra!
Tiden det tar før organet først sender svar varierer mye, fra samme dag (noen henvendelser sendt til Utlendingsnemnda, Statens vegvesen, Økokrim, Mediatilsynet, Datatilsynet, Brønnøysundregistrene), opp til 6 måneder (Ballangen kommune) eller lenger (Stortinget, Olje- og energidepartementet, Justis- og beredskapsdepartementet, UDI – Utlendingsdirektoratet, og SSB har mottatt innsynshenvendelser som fortsatt er ubesvarte). Gjennomsnittstiden her var et par uker (med unntak av de 12 tilfellene der det ikke har kommet noe svar). Det følger av offentlighetsloven § 29 første ledd at henvendelser om innsyn i forvaltningens dokumenter skal besvares «uten ugrunnet opphold», noe som ifølge Sivilombudsmannen i de fleste tilfeller skal fortolkes som «samme dag eller i alle fall i løpet av 1-3 virkedager». Så her er det rom for forbedring.
Klageretten (offentleglova § 32) ble benyttet i 20 av innsynshenvendelsene. I de fleste (15; 75%) av tilfellene førte klagen til at henvendelsen ble vellykket. Gjennomsnittstiden for å få svar på klagen var en måned (med unntak av 2 tillfeller, klager sendt til Statens vegvesen og Ruter AS, der det ikke har kommet noe svar). Det er vel verdt å klage, og helt gratis! Sivilombudsmannen har uttalt at 2-3 uker ligger over det som er akseptabel saksbehandlingstid for klager.
Flest henvendelser var blitt sendt til Utenriksdepartementet (9), tett etterfulgt av Fredrikstad kommune og Brønnøysundregistrene. I alt ble henvendelser sendt til 60 offentlige myndigheter, hvorav 27 ble tilsendt to eller flere. Det står over 3700 myndigheter i databasen til Mimes brønn. De fleste av dem har dermed til gode å motta en innsynshenvendelse via tjenesten.
Når vi ser på hva slags informasjon folk har bedt om, ser vi et bredt spekter av interesser; alt fra kommunens parkeringsplasser, reiseregninger der statens satser for overnatting er oversteget, korrespondanse om asylmottak og forhandlinger om toppdomenet .bv, til dokumenter om Myanmar.
Myndighetene gjør alle mulige slags ting. Noe av det gjøres dÃ¥rlig, noe gjør de bra. Jo mer vi finner ut om hvordan myndighetene fungerer, jo større mulighet har vi til Ã¥ foreslÃ¥ forbedringer pÃ¥ det som fungerer dÃ¥rlig… og applaudere det som bra. Er det noe du vil ha innsyn i, sÃ¥ er det bare Ã¥ klikke pÃ¥ https://www.mimesbronn.no/ og sÃ¥ er du i gang

Twitter-brukaren @IngeborgSteine fekk nyleg ein del merksemd då ho tvitra eit bilete av nynorskutgåva av økonomieksamenen sin ved NTNU:
Dette var min økonomieksamen på "nynorsk". #nynorsk #noregsmållag #kvaialledagar https://t.co/RjCKSU2Fyg—

Kreative nyvinningar som *kvisleis og alle dialektformene og arkaismane ville vore usannsynlege å få i ei maskinomsett utgåve, så då lurte eg på kor mykje betre/verre det hadde blitt om eksaminatoren rett og slett hadde brukt Apertium i staden? Ingeborg Steine var så hjelpsam at ho la ut bokmålsutgåva, så då får me prøva
Ingen kvisleis og fritt for tær og fyr, men det er heller ikkje perfekt: Visse ord manglar frå ordbøkene og får dermed feil bøying, teller blir tolka som substantiv, ein anna maskin har feil bøying på førsteordet (det mangla ein regel der) og at blir ein stad tolka som adverb (som fører til det forunderlege fragmentet det verta at anteke tilvarande). I tillegg blir språket gjenkjent som tatarisk av nettsida, så det var kanskje litt tung norsk? Men desse feila er ikkje spesielt vanskelege å retta på – utviklingsutgåva av Apertium gir no:
Det er enno eit par småting som kunne vore retta, men det er allereie betre enn dei fleste eksamenane eg fekk utdelt ved UiO …

I førre innlegg i denne serien gjekk eg kort gjennom ymse metodar for å generera omsetjingskandidatar til tospråklege ordbøker; i dette innlegget skal eg gå litt meir inn på kandidatgenerering ved omsetjing av enkeltdelane av samansette ord. Me har som nemnt allereie ei ordbok mellom bokmål og nordsamisk, som me vil utvida til bokmål–lulesamisk og bokmål–sørsamisk. Og ordboka blei utvikla for å omsetja typisk «departementsspråk», så ho er full av lange, samansette ord. Og på samisk kan me setja saman ord omtrent på same måte som på norsk (i tillegg til ein haug med andre måtar, men det hoppar me glatt over for no). Dette bør me kunna utnytta, sånn at viss me veit kva «klage» er på lulesamisk, og me veit kva «frist» er, så har me iallfall éin fornuftig hypotese for kva «klagefrist» kan vera på lulesamisk
Altså kan me bruka dei få omsetjingane me allereie har mellom bokmål og lulesamisk/sørsamisk til å laga fleire omsetjingar, ved å omsetja deler av ord, og så setja dei saman igjen. Me har òg eit par omsetjingar liggande mellom nordsamisk og lulesamisk/sørsamisk, så me kan bruka same metoden der (og utnytta det at me har ei bokmål–nordsamisk-ordbok til å slutta riŋgen tilbake til bokmål).
Dessverre (i denne samanhengen) har me òg ofte fleire omsetjingar av kvart ord; i dei eksisterande bokmål–lulesamisk-ordbøkene me ser på (i stor grad basert på ordboka til Anders Kintel) står det at «klage» kan vera mellom anna gujdalvis, gujddim, luodjom eller kritihkka, medan «frist» kan vera  ájggemierre, giehtadaláduvvat, mierreduvvam eller ájggemærráj. Viss me tillet kvar venstredel å gå med kvar høgredel, får me 16 moglege kandidatar for dette eine ordet! Sannsynlegvis er ikkje meir enn ein eller to av dei brukande (og kanskje ikkje det ein gong). I snitt får me rundt dobbelt så mange kandidatar som kjeldeord med denne metoden. Så me bør finna metodar for å kutta ned på dårlege kandidatar.
Den komplementære utfordringa er å få god nok dekning. Av og til ser me at me ikkje har ei omsetjing av delane av ordet, sjølv om me har omsetjingar av ord med dei same delene i seg. Den setninga krev nok eit døme Me vil gjerne ha ein kandidat for ordet «øyekatarr» på lulesamisk, altså samansetjinga «øye+katarr». Me har kanskje ei omsetjing for «øye» i materialet vårt, men ingenting for «katarr». Derimot står det at «blærekatarr» er gådtjåráhkkovuolssje. Så for å utvida dekninga, kan me i tillegg dela opp kjeldematerialet vårt i alle par av samansetjingsdelar; viss me veit at desse orda kan analyserast som «blære+katarr» og gådtjåráhkko+vuolssje, så kan det jo synast som at «blære» er gådtjåráhkko og «katarr» er vuolssje (og Giellatekno har heldigvis gode morfologiske analysatorar som fint deler opp slike ord på rette staden). Og dette gir ei god utviding av materialet – faktisk får me kandidatar for nesten dobbelt så mange av dei orda som me ønsker kandidatar for, viss me utvidar kjeldematerialet på denne måten. Men det har ei stor ulempe òg: Me får over dobbelt så mange lule-/sørsamiske kandidatar per bokmålsord (i snitt rundt fire kandidatar per kjeldeord).
Me vil innskrenka dei moglege kandidatane til dei som mest sannsynleg er gode. Den beste testen er å sjå om kandidaten finst i korpus, og då helst i same parallellstilte setning (dette er oftast ein bra kandidat). Viss ikkje, så kan me òg sjå på om kandidaten og kjeldeordet har liknande frekvensar, eller om kandidaten har frekvens i det heile.
Orddelingsomsetjinga foreslo tsavtshvierhtie for «virkemiddel», og der stod dei i ein parallellsetning òg:
<s xml:lang="sma" id="2060"/>Daesnie FoU akte vihkeles tsavtshvierhtie .
<s xml:lang="nob" id="2060"/>Her er FoU er et viktig virkemiddel .
– då er det nok eit godt ordpar.
Uheldigvis har me så lite tekstgrunnlag for lule-/sørsamisk at me fort går tom for kandidatar med frekvens i det heile. For sørsamisk har me t.d. berre kandidatar med korpustreff for rundt 10 % av orda me lagar kandidatar for.
Ein annan test, som fungerer på alle ord, er å sjå om det får analyse av dei morfologiske analysatorane våre; viss ikkje (og viss det i tillegg ikkje har korpustreff) er det oftast feil. Men dette fjernar berre rundt 1/4 av kandidatane; med den oppdelte ordboka vår (kor me òg har med par av delar av ord) har me enno i snitt rundt tre kandidatar per kjeldeord.
(Ein test som eg prøvde, men avslo, var filtrering basert på liknande ordlengd. Det verkar jo logisk at lange ord blir omsett til lange og korte til korte, men det finst mange gode unntak. I tillegg fjernar det alt for få dårlege kandidatar til at det ser ut til å vera verdt det.)
Det parallelle korpusmaterialet vårt er altfor lite, men når me skal generera kandidatar til ordbøker så er det jo ikkje parallelle setningar me prøver å predikera, men parallelle ord og ordbokspar. Og då er jo læringsgrunnlaget vårt eigentleg dei eksisterande ordbøkene våre … Derfor prøvde eg å sjå på kva for samansetjingsdelar som faktisk var brukt i dei tidlegare omsetjingane våre, og kva for par av delar som ofte opptredde i tidlegare omsetjingar, og kva for delar som sjeldan eller aldri gjorde det. Til dømes har den oppdelte ordboka vår for bokmål–lulesamisk desse para:
Her ser me at «løyve» anten kan vera loahpádus eller doajmmaloahpe – skal «taxiløyve» då vera táksiloahpádus eller táksidoajmmaloahpe? På bakgrunn av dette materialet bør me nok satsa på det første – sjølv om doajmmaloahpe står oppført, så er det berre loahpádus som opptrer i samansette ord.
Då kan me prøva å generera kandidatar for alle bokmålsorda i materialet vårt, både dei me eigentleg er ute etter å finna kandidatar for, og dei me allereie har omsetjingar for. Gå så gjennom dei genererte kandidatane for dei orda me allereie har omsetjingar for, og tel opp dei para av orddelar som genererte slike ord. Me har kanskje laga kandidatane barggo+loahpádus og barggo+dajmmaloahpe for «arbeids+løyve»; når me så går gjennom dei eksisterande omsetjingane og finn at «arbeidsløyve» stod i ordboka med omsetjinga barggoloahpádus, så aukar me frekvensen til paret «løyve»–loahpádus med éin, medan «løyve»–dajmmaloahpe blir verande null.
For no har berre filtrert ut dei kandidatane kor paret til anten første- eller andreledd hadde nullfrekvens. I følgje litt manuell evaluering frå ein lingvist er det omtrent berre dårlege ord som blir kasta ut, så det filteret ser ut til å fungera bra. På den andre sida blir berre rundt 10 % av kandidatane fjerna viss me berre hiv ut dei med nullfrekvens, så neste steg blir å bruka frekvensane til å få ei full rangering.
Viss alle ord kunne delast i nøyaktig to delar, så ville det kanskje vore nok å telja opp par av delar og enkeltdelar for å estimera sannsyn, altså f(s,t)/f(s). Men av og til kan ord delast på fleire måtar, til dømes kan me sjå på «sommersiidastyre» som «sommer+siidastyre» eller «sommersiida+styre» (eg har valt å halda meg til todelingar av ord, for å unngå for mange alternative kandidatar). Viss omsetjinga er giessesijddastivrra, med analysane giesse+sijddastivrra eller giessesijdda+stivrra, så har me ikkje utan vidare nokon grunn til å velja den eine over den andre (vel, me har lengd i dette tilfellet, men det gjeld ikkje i alle slike døme, og me kan ha par av analysar som er 2–3 eller 3–2). Då kan me heller ikkje seia kva for par av orddelar (s,t) me skal auka når me ser «sommersiidastyre»–giessesijddastivrra i treningsmaterialet. Men viss me i tillegg ser «styre»–stivvra ein annan stad, så har me plutseleg eit grunnlag til å ta ei avgjerd. Metodar som Expectation Maximization kan kombinera relaterte frekvensar på denne måten for å finna fram til gode estimat, men eg har ikkje komme så langt at eg har fått implementert dette enno.

One of the biggest takeaways from 31C3 and the most recent Snowden-leaked NSA documents is that a lot of SSH stuff is .. broken.
I’m not surprised, but then again I never am when it comes to this paranoia stuff. However, I do run a ton of SSH in production and know a lot of people that do. Are we all fucked? Well, almost, but not really.
Unfortunately most of what Stribika writes about the “Secure Secure Shell” doesn’t work for old production versions of SSH. The cliff notes for us real-world people, who will realistically be running SSH 5.9p1 for years is hidden in the bettercrypto.org repo.
Edit your /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
Ciphers aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr
MACs hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,hmac-ripemd160
KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
Basically the nice and forward secure aes-*-gcm chacha20-poly1305 ciphers, the curve25519-sha256 Kex algorithm and Encrypt-Then-MAC message authentication modes are not available to those of us stuck in the early 2000s. That’s right, provably NSA-proof stuff not supported. Upgrading at this point makes sense.
Still, we can harden SSH, so go into /etc/ssh/moduli and delete all the moduli that have 5th column < 2048, and disable ECDSA host keys:
cd /etc/ssh
mkdir -p broken
mv moduli ssh_host_dsa_key* ssh_host_ecdsa_key* ssh_host_key* broken
awk '{ if ($5 > 2048){ print } }' broken/moduli > moduli
# create broken links to force SSH not to regenerate broken keys
ln -s ssh_host_ecdsa_key ssh_host_ecdsa_key
ln -s ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_dsa_key
ln -s ssh_host_key ssh_host_key
Your clients, which hopefully have more recent versions of SSH, could have the following settings in /etc/ssh/ssh_config or .ssh/config:
Host all-old-servers
Ciphers aes256-gcm@openssh.com,aes128-gcm@openssh.com,chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr
MACs hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,hmac-ripemd160-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-ripemd160
KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
Note: Sadly, the -ctr ciphers do not provide forward security and hmac-ripemd160 isn’t the strongest MAC. But if you disable these, there are plenty of places you won’t be able to connect to. Upgrade your servers to get rid of these poor auth methods!
There, done.
Updated Jan 6th to highlight the problems of not upgrading SSH.
Updated Jan 22nd to note CTR mode isn’t any worse.
Go learn about COMSEC if you didn’t get trolled by the title.

Intermission..
Recently I been doing some video editing.. less editing than tweaking my system tho.
If you want your jack output to speak with Kdenlive, a most excellent video editing suite,
and output audio in a nice way without choppyness and popping, which I promise you is not nice,
you’ll want to pipe it through pulseaudio because the alsa to jack stuff doesn’t do well with phonom, at least not on this convoluted setup.
Remember, to get that setup to work, ALSA pipes to jack with the pcm.jack { type jack .. thing, and remove the alsa to pulseaudio stupidity at /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf
So, once that’s in place, it won’t play even though Pulse found your Jack because your clients are defaulting out on some ALSA device… this is when you change /etc/pulse/client.conf and set default-sink = jack_out.

Lyst på én? Den er ikke i salg i Norge enda, men du kan kjøpe den på Amazon. Les her hvordan jeg kjøpte min på Amazon (bla litt nedover på siden). Med norsk moms, levert til Rimi-butikken 100 meter fra der jeg bor, kom den på 1.850 kroner. Det er den så absolutt verdt:)

$typedef = 'A8 A16 A16 L'; $sizeof = length pack($typedef, () ); while ( read(WTMP, $buffer, $sizeof) == $sizeof ) { ($line, $user, $host, $time) = unpack($typedef, $buffer); # Gjør hva du vil med disse verdiene her }FreeBSD bruker altså bare verdiene line (ut_line), user (ut_name), host (ut_host) og time (ut_time), jfr. utmp.h. Linux (x64, hvem bryr seg om 32-bit?) derimot, lagrer en hel del mer i wtmp-loggen, og etter en del Googling, prøving/feiling og kikking i bits/utmp.h kom jeg frem til:
$typedef = "s x2 i A32 A4 A32 A256 s2 l i2 i4 A20"; $sizeof = length pack($typedef, () ); while ( read(WTMP, $buffer, $sizeof) == $sizeof ) { ($type, $pid, $line, $id, $user, $host, $term, $exit, $session, $sec, $usec, $addr, $unused) = unpack($typedef, $buffer); # Gjør hva du vil med disse verdiene her }Som bare funker, flott altså. Da ser jeg i sanntid brukere som logger på og av, og kan ta handlinger basert på dette.
