Oh, forgot all about that.
-
unixwitch
ah, moved to misc/window in 2009
-
jbo
unixwitch, does syncoid require/imply use of sudo? can't do doas?
-
unixwitch
jbo: i currently have it log in as root, so i'm not sure. does zfs allow work?
-
jbo
unixwitch, I setup zfs allow on the target host. then tried 'doas syncoid ...' from the source host and got this:
-
jbo
CRITICAL ERROR: ssh connection echo test failed for jbo⊙111 with exit code 255 at /usr/local/bin/syncoid line 1714.
-
unixwitch
if it's running as a dedicated user, does it need the ssh host key accepted or something like that?
-
jbo
ah shit, doas syncoid ofc makes my ssh key being invisible I guess (because then it does stuff as root?)
-

i don't use doas, but i guess it's wanting root to have the key instead of the user, or vice versa
-
mane
libera is corrupt
-
jbo
unixwitch, syncoid seems to have a switch that might (?) help here? --no-privilege-elevation Bypass the root check, for use with ZFS permission delegation
-
jbo
not sure what "zfs permission delegation" is tho
-
mason
jbo: man zfs-allow
-
jbo
excellent - that is what I already set up.
-
unixwitch
jbo: i think that means it won't check if it's root on the remote host, not related to logging in in the first place

kfv
Is there not any other way using an mDNS service to let hosts living the in the same LAN resolve and see each other based on their .local host names?
-
kfv
I used to set up an NSD on the router plus unbound on each local servers (physical, virtual, anything,) and whether or not via DHCP, tell hosts to use it for resolving the LAN zone.
-
kfv
But am thinking if there's any better way (haven't tried mDNS stuff, yet, btw.)
-
entrop
RFC6762 (Multicast DNS) defines .local
-
kfv
Is mDNS supported/enabled in FreeBSD by default, or I shall use a third-party port?

kfv
OK, it ain't.
-
polyex
mdns cool?
-
polyex
what's rpath?
-
unixwitch
polyex: a hardcoded runtime (shared) library path in an executable. it allows the executable to run even when its shared libraries aren't in the system library path
-
unixwitch
for example: "cc prog.c -o prog -L/opt/mylib -l mylib -Wl,-R/opt/mylib" allows prog to load mylib.so.whatever from /opt/mylib
-
polyex
kinda like dep injection?
-
unixwitch
not exactly, aiui dependency injection would be more like LD_PRELOAD, where you load a library that application doesn't link at all
-
polyex
k sweet ty
-
Remilia
polyex: mDNS is convenient for certain things and you probably want it if you use Apple HomeKit devices or w/e it is called

jemius
Does FreeBSD have an equivalent of Linux's timerfd?
-
unixwitch
jemius: timerfd(2)
-
unixwitch
(added in 14.0)
-
jemius
Why couldn't the posix people just include that
-
platypus_laser
wouldn't kqueue be the FreeBSD analog?
-
unixwitch
yeah, the native version is EVFILT_TIMER... i assumed the question was from porting a linux app but if not, kqueue would be the better approach
-
jemius
It seems to me that everyone basically agrees that timers through signals are a bad approach
-
jemius
though they're the only portable timers in posix, afaik
-
unixwitch
well, the alternative is to implement your own system system as a layer on top of kqueue/epoll/select/whatever, which is what most applications do (if they don't use a newer api) rather than signals
-
unixwitch
s/system system/timer system
-
jemius
I like "system system". I'll call my next system that ^_^
-
jemius
unixwitch, you mean those use poll()'s timeout parameter and then calculate which timer fired and how the timeout has to be modified?
-
jemius
The thing is that you often want to monitor sockets and nevertheless do something periodically. If that something is more than one single thing, you basically only can use timerfd, poll()-timeout-magic or signals
-
jemius
Signals are troublesome because they could corrupt your state if the signal handler accesses something that the other poll() functions were in the process of modifying
-
unixwitch
jemius: yes, you keep some kind of sorted list of your upcoming timer events, then when calling poll() (or whatever) you set the timeout to fire when the timer is due. then, in the event loop, check for pending timers and dispatch them somehow
-
unixwitch
this is how libev does it, for example ... or at least it did last time i looked, i'd be surprised if it doesn't support at least timerfd nowadays
-
jemius
I mean, we can use timerfd ourselves, we don't need a lib for it
-
unixwitch
i know, i'm just mentioning another way to do this without timerfd or signals
-
jemius
hmm
-
» jemius is unhappy
-
jemius
Ah, screw it, I'll just use timerfd. If I have to port to Apple's systems one day I'll have to think of something. But that's a problem for future me
-
unixwitch
you know, i'll laugh if this all gets standardised in the upcoming C++ network extensions before there's a standard way to do it in POSIX
-
unixwitch
... which is almost certainly going to happen because POSIX seem to have no interest in doing it
-
jemius
posix seems to be on vacation since 2008
-
Remilia
jemius: doesn't Mac OS have kqueue
-
jemius
Remilia, no idea. I don't use it yet, but consider it likely that we'd need it (iOS) in a few years
-
Remilia
oh iOS
-
unixwitch
it does yes, but i don't know if iOS does (although i see no reason it wouldn't)
-
Remilia
iOS probably has its own higher level stuff for developers
-
unixwitch
yeah i actually don't know if you even get libc on iOS. i guess at least some parts must be included because it was ObjC before Swift came along
-
jemius
There are probably very few app developers who even do anything in low level languages. On Android there at least is NDK
-
voy4g3r2
so i got this machine 99% operational and now i am doing to the dang realtek nic card.. i see here:
freshports.org/net/realtek-re-kmod that there is a module to get the NIC card operational. my question is: if i do a /usr/ports install of this do i then have to work about pkg updates "messing" with it? I ask as this NIC is not part of base install 14
-
VimDiesel
Title: FreshPorts -- net/realtek-re-kmod: Kernel driver for Realtek PCIe Ethernet Controllers

unixwitch
voy4g3r2: are you using a non-GENERIC kernel? the pkg version should work the the GENERIC that the pkgs were built for
-
voy4g3r2
when i bought up the machine, the kernel does NOT find the card
-
voy4g3r2
but i could be going down the, i did not know something path.
-
voy4g3r2
-
unixwitch
well, if you're using pkgs anyway, i would start by just installing the pkg and following the instructions (/boot/loader.conf) and see if it works

Remilia
doesn't GENERIC have interfaces built into the kernel
-
unixwitch
the instructions on that thread seem to be about installing the package, not installing it from ports, which is also how i would suggest doing it
-
voy4g3r2
i just did a base freebsd install, 14, on the box. it detect everything except the NIC
-
voy4g3r2
yeah.. then i head over to this:
freshports.org/net/realtek-re-kmod which mentions a package.. but i have no url to get it.. that i can see
-

i am just surprised, that after 15+ years of NOT buildin a computer.. it started up first time and my only issue is this
-
Remilia
does dmesg mention anything at all?
-
unixwitch
-
unixwitch
fwiw, base re(4) is kind of broken and i would always prefer the pkg driver even if it is detected by base... there's some undocumented thing that at least some of the ICs need to work properly and the freebsd driver doesn't do it
-
Remilia
huh

voy4g3r2

-
voy4g3r2
just buy an intel nic card they say
-
voy4g3r2
i went into microcenter expected to spend 300 i spent 850
-
voy4g3r2
so trying NOT to buy more stuff
-
unixwitch
i concur with that, Intel is good. or Mellanox or Chelsio
-
voy4g3r2
i did a search, in the store, and said realtek works with re module.
-
Remilia
when I was choosing my bothermoard I specifically looked into those with Intel NICs
-
voy4g3r2
so i go, sweet, moving on
-
unixwitch
fwiw, i used realtek-re-kmod on one system here (before i put an Intel card in it) and it does work fine, i didn't have any issues. just one extra step when installing
-
Remilia
tbh the best thing you can get is a quad port Intel PCIEx4 card
-
voy4g3r2
hrm.. can't find the re module
-
nimaje
ports also needs working network to fetch the distfiles, so if you can use ports to install it you should be able to install it via the normal pkg install realtek-re-kmod too
-
» Remilia hides
-
voy4g3r2
haha
-
voy4g3r2
Remilia: yea that was a 300 buck card
-
voy4g3r2
it does look sexy
-
Remilia
also 2.5 Gbps is generally dumb
-
Remilia
go either 1 or 10
-
unixwitch
2.5Gbps is (sadly) gaining quite a bit of traction in the home market... which annoys me because i agree
-
Remilia
2.5 means you are locked into 'gaming routers' for ethernet
-
voy4g3r2
yeah well it is staying 1 gig on this network
-
voy4g3r2
and dang nab it, my dumba** did not install ports when i did this install
-
voy4g3r2
i knew that was going to bite me in the a**
-
unixwitch
(i do think there's one valid use for 2.5G/5G, which is running wireless APs over existing Cat5e structural cabling... but that's pretty niche)
-
unixwitch
voy4g3r2: just copy the realtek-ke-kmod package i linked above and the pkg package onto a usb stick or something and install with pkg add (i think this works with /usr/sbin/pkg, right?)

unixwitch
heh, i used to have a microserver years ago... probably one of the first generations. nice that they're still around
-
voy4g3r2
that was the biggest struggle.. find a machine that had enough bays
-
voy4g3r2

unixwitch, glad to hear that I got something that was already reasonable years ago :)

-
jbo
unixwitch, I am also very much on the fence regarding intel vs. AMD. I never had an AMD system before but ryzen 9 7900 looks... reasonable
-
unixwitch
jbo: ah yeah. my desktop motherboard has RGB but fortunately i can't see it. i did manage to find a decent ASRock B450 board with no RGB on it for another system
-
jbo
asrock is chinese... I don't feel like trusting their firmware "currently" tbh.
-
jbo
oh wait, they are taiwanese
-
unixwitch
i actually like this ASRock board, i'd consider them if i end up doing another build
-
jbo
I have an asrock board in another build. it seemed like great price/value back in the day
-
unixwitch
it generates fewer acpi(4) errors than my MSI board which i take as a good sign :-)
-
jbo
unixwitch, any opinions on the intel vs AMD story?
-
voy4g3r2
the exact cpu is core i3-13100 raptor lake 3.4ghz quad-core lga 1700
-
unixwitch
jbo: not really. i've been using AMD since the Athlon MP because the price/performance always seemed better at the times i needed to buy something. my only complain is they are pretty starved for PCIe lanes, i think Intel might be better there
-
unixwitch
(it doesn't help that consumer motherboards distribute the lanes as like, 2 x16 slots and 4 x1 slots, and no actually useful x4 slots)
-
jbo
yeah, I was actually considering just getting a supermicro board for my next desktop
-
jbo
but they don't seem to have AMD socket offerings which made me worry about my potential pick of AMD for the next machine

Happy New Year!
-
voy4g3r2
my head hurts.. with 3 drives (4tb each) i can do raidz or raidz2.. no other option is available to me?
-
unixwitch
you could also do a 3-way mirror
-
voy4g3r2
which caps me at 4tb - minus the overhead of the filesystems.
-
unixwitch
yes, the usable capacity would be the same as a raidz2, i.e. a single disk's worth
-

buyers remorse.. they did not have 6tb drives there.. only 10tb
-
voy4g3r2
and my heart leaped..
-
voy4g3r2
raidz it is and having this backup going.. so i can minimize pain, thank you unixwitch
-
unixwitch
3 disks is kind of an awkward size, i would prefer 4 disks and do raidz2 (or maybe mirror-stripe) so you get 50% usable capacity
-
voy4g3r2
haha.. yeah, they only had 3 drives left and the majority of this build was the hard drives..
-
unixwitch
although stripes over 3-disk mirror or raidz2 is not uncommon
-
voy4g3r2
yeah.. when i get a nvm.e drive.. i can make it a 4..
-
voy4g3r2
now i remember why i just bought macs for the last 18 years
-
voy4g3r2
this stuff gets you in trouble and a thin wallet
-
unixwitch
hmm, i feel fairly certainly if you'd bought a system of the same config from Apple you'd have ended up paying a lot more...
-
voy4g3r2
that is the thing, i would not because i would spend a lot more.. but those g5 macs back in teh day were damn good looking

jbo
ah damit... located a machine that is still running 13.1-RELEASE :s
-
jbo
can I directly jump to 14.0 or should I do the intermediary 13.2 update first?
-
unixwitch
jbo: update to latest 13.2 first because of the freebsd-update bug tripped by something in /usr/include
-
jbo
ack, thanks!
-
jbo
unixwitch, I played around with sanoid/syncoid since you recommended it here yesterday and overall I like what I am seeing.
-
jbo
just trying to figure out how to properly prevent the destination host from mounting when mountpoint properties get replicated
-
jbo
I guess an ugly option is to set canmount=off on the parent dataset on the destination host

rockyh
Hello! I am running FreeBSD 14 and several versions of openssl are available as packages. `openssl32' is considered an alpha version and so discouraged in production. Which one is it recommended to use for a stable operation?
-
unixwitch
rockyh: i would recommend the version in base (3.0, i believe) unless you have a particular reason to use a different version
-
rockyh
unixwitch: so if it is in base I guess there's no even need to install the package
-
rtprio
right
-
rockyh
thank you!
-
meena
rockyh: you only need extra versions is some software depends on it, or you're developing new software against new versions of it
-
meena
and in the first case, pkg takes care of it
-
rockyh
meena: thanks, in my case the openssl in the base system is enough
-
meena
hurray

rockyh

is there some way to run some arbitrary application (like say a pdf reader) in a capsicum sandbox? i realise this wouldn't be as secure as modifying the application to support it properly
-
unixwitch
arxiv.org/pdf/1909.12282.pdf looks relevant ("CapExec: Towards Transparently-Sandboxed Services") but the software it's talking bout doesn't seem to exist anywhere
-
nimaje
"Once set, the flag is inherited by future children processes, and may not be cleared.", so write a wraper that enters capability mode, but no idea how restricted the child would be if it knows nothing about capsicum
-
unixwitch
right, but you need something to provide the OS services that the application now can't use
-
nimaje
hm, write an email to one of the authors? I probably would first try that @freebsd.org email
-
unixwitch
nimaje: i mailed the first author (on the basis that that's usually the person who actually wrote the paper :-) so we'll see what they say
-

unixwitch: while you're at it, you can complain that they don't provide nice LaTeX that can be converted into nice HTML

hm, the latex source looks ok (download in "Other Formats"), but well it uses tikz, no idea how well latex to html converters can handle tikz
-
nimaje
ah, that arxiv-vanity render is truncated at the first tikzpicture
-
unixwitch
oh i didn't notice that
-
meena
that looks like something that could be converted to SVG
-
unixwitch
i think the authors should put their paper in a github repo so we can all submit PRs to fix it
-
unixwitch
open science!
-
unixwitch
meena: can you even put SVGs in LaTeX or do you have to convert it to EPS/PDF first?
-
nimaje
there is some package (svg), that shells out to inkscape
-
meena
man, microsoft swiftkey is really struggling with this bug report
-
nimaje
(but I think meena meant the other way, render that tikz stuff to svg for the html)
-
meena
yes, that's what she meant
-
unixwitch
we secretly replaced meena's teletypewriter with a double-width character version, let's see if she notices

There was an error creating your Issue: body is too long, body is too long (maximum is 65536 characters).

Github also not accepting my bug report, because the LaTeX output is probably a few megabytes

i'm doing some work on 'toot' (mastodon client) but it's reminding me why i dislike python so much... wonder if there's a C/C++ alternative

my guess is: no

for some reason i still follow the toot repo, even tho i don't have it installed rn

is there something special you have to do for an encrypted swap in 14-release? i have /dev/nvd0p3.eli in fstab, but it doesn't actually create it/use it (nothing shows up in swapinfo). if i try swapon /dev/nvd0p3.eli, i get Invalid parameters error

wifi works fine, bluetooth ..otoh

bcarson: what's dmesg has to say?

nothing :(

(and still nothing in swapinfo)

i think this is an "nda" vs "nvd" problem

my fstab has nvd, but my dmesg shows nda

lol, ok, that fixed it. i guess i missed that change.

someone suggesting 12.x should be maintained until OpenZFS "is proven", apparently missed the freebsd-specific ossl(4) that destroyed encrypted zfs pools

unixwitch: they also missed the somewhat important part which is that the race condition was introduced back before OpenSolaris.. was. It dates _very_ far back, and just wasn't possible to hit until I/O offset operations were implemented, and only then if very specific behaviour is done by userland tools (which was enabled by a new set of GNU coretools).
-
debdrup
If I understand the userland behaviour, it also seems to me to go against how userland programs should behave when it comes to caching?
