FreeBSD group is available now on sxc as well. 🤓

I was dumping /dev/mem searching for something and stumbled across this: 0x0.st/8X2c.txt What part of FreeBSD keeps track of commands like this? All of these were executed in fish.

FragmentedCurve: presumably it's a just your shell's history tracking file or something

It still persists after clearing the fish history and rebooting.

finally, signal port was being difficult

electron32 package is evil

kevans: you're right, it's the fish history

i jumped to irc too quickly :)

polarian, janvhs: with wpa-psk you normaly pre-share a key by sharing some passphrase and that together with the ssid gets put into a keyderivation function to get the key, as it is easier to share some passphrase then a 256bit key (so 64 hex digits), so putting the psk in directly instead of the passphrase mostly helps that someone randomly seeing it can't remember it as easily

nimaje: ahhh interesting. I always assumed there was maybe some kind of communication going on. Thank you :D

i just recently setup a vm on oracle cloud (14.2) and when i try to do a ssh-copy-id to give my ssh, i am getting a permission denied error.. due to public key.. does anyone know of a way to send a ssh key without the ability to login because you do not have a public key?

it is a: Permission denied (public key) error

i have tried copy public key from my machine to the server and still give ms the same error message.. seems to be no other way to actually get it

well never mind.. it needs to goto authorized_keys file and not id_rsa.pub file

Hi, I have hotplugged a SATA disk but It doesn't appear in dmesg, How can I rescan the bus to allow the disk to be discovered?

I wonder. For the memstick image, is there a way to install things on it (basically, install into RAM), to be able to do various things if I'm using it as a rescue thingie?

I did manage to figure out a workaround, so I don't have an immediate need, just wondering.

I guess one option would be a "normal" install, with the memory stick as the install target, but I'm not sure how reliable that would be when moved between devices (in terms of being able to find the boot disk, kernel within it, etc)

DarkUranium: DarkUranium: so the ask is, can i get a memstick image, "boot it", add new packages to it, save to the original memstick.img to be able to use in the future for anythign?

voy4g3r2: minus the last part, just "add new packages to it" --- I just need them to persist until reboot.

Think a tool I need to install, most recently, this was sanoid/syncoid.

`pkg install` didn't work because /usr/local was read-only.

(though I didn't consider setting up a memfs/tmpfs in that dir ... mostly because it was 3AM :P)

yeah, from what i can see mounting the image in a temporary area.. do the magic and unmount

then write the newly updated image to a file

as the image is a read-only image because used for installs..

or you could load the system with the memstick image.. then "drop to a shell"

and do work from there .. if you do not need it to persist

dropping into shell may require getting things like network operational along with an ip address..

but i have done that a few times and worked for me.. YMMV

nimaje: ah cool, but the key deyderivation function is one way or can be reversed?

FYI, don

FYI, don't attempt `zfs destroy data01/fs1@s1%s60000 (delete 60K) snaphots. Your system will bork. ;)

I do this so you don't need to. dan.langille.org/2025/01/24/is-deleting-empty-snapshots-faster

how do I find out what packages from a particular category are installed locally? Like I want to see which lang/* packages are installed locally, how would I do that?

I should be able to use pkg-query(8) for that, I believe

I was reading the man page for that, but didn't seem obvious. Might also be the jet lag from travelling as wel

so I'm trying to do this: pkg query -e '%o = lang/' %n-%v but get no output for that, when I have 51 packages installed from lang/

never mind, Origin is of the pattern category/name hence need to use glob patterns

so the following worked: pkg query -e '%o ~ lang/*' '%n-%v'
