honestly i haven't configured WIFI on fbsd myself but from what backlog I can see it's a pain for a lot of people

Yeah that's what I've seen too

Audio is gonna be my next task

JetpackJackson
I got sound to work using my headset this is awesome

ant-x, You say that like there was any doubt! :-)

JetpackJackson
Huh weird my Xf86audio* keys only register as such when I press alt plus the key, instead of fn...
-
JetpackJackson
I wonder if that's why I can't change the audio volume with a niri keybind
-
JetpackJackson
That's a tomorrow tinker
-
JetpackJackson

I'm so happy I got audio and niri and WiFi working

i spent a lot of time today trying to write an rc.d/my_program service script for a little program i wrote. I wanted the program to launch as a specific user that had the permissions required to access a directory (I more or less got this working - still not sure if I did it right). My program binds to a socket @ <IP>:80 but i could not figure out for the life of me how to do that without running
-
thermos
as root
-
JetpackJackson
I am definitely not the person to ask about that, I have not tried to write a service yet
-
thermos
i enable mac_portacl module and gave the user permissions like this: `sysctl security.mac.portacl.rules="uid:1002:tcp:80,uid:1002:tcp:443"` but it still wouldn't let me bind to the port
-
thermos
It seems like it shouldn't be as hard as it has been for me - for some reason though i just can't get it
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm maybe sleep on it and come back to it in the morning? (Depending on your timezone ofc)
-
thermos
yeah i'm reading up on an article covering rc scripting and looking over the manpages
-
JetpackJackson
Well that's good, the man pages are really good from what I've read so far
-
thermos
yeah I'm in the process of getting to now freebsd coming from linux for the last couple years and the manpages here are to die for
-
thermos
know*
-
JetpackJackson
Oh nice
-
JetpackJackson
This is like my first/second day of trying out FreeBSD lol
-
thermos
nice, I'm thoroughly enjoying it myself
-
JetpackJackson
Same here
-
deconfed
when i will terminate to install linux on my boxes? i need docker and good mehaniker
-
JetpackJackson
Maybe I should add this laptop to the wiki page for laptops
-
JetpackJackson
I should run another probe now that I configured the WiFi and sound
-
kerneldove_
why is the command 'pwd' but the man page says current working directory, not present working directory? either update the man page to replace current with present, or change the command to cwd, no?
-
bradd
maybe the p is for print.. so print working directory
-
ek
It most certainly is an abbreviation for "Print Working Directory".
-
kerneldove_
ah ok tyvm
-
kerneldove_
just got a checksum mismatch msg to /var/log/messages from zfs on nda0p3.eli. is my drive bad or?
-
psycorama
have you scrubed your pool?
-
kerneldove_
nah it just happened. should i? it's a 1 drive stripe fwiw
-
rwp
There is no RAID? It's just a single device? Then likely that will indicate data loss.
-
rwp
I would start a scrub. Then it might resolve itself or it might not.
-
kerneldove_
ok scrub done. so does that mean the drive is going bad or is that normal?
-
rwp
We don't have enough information to say yet either way. It's still something to watch for and to gather more information.
-
rwp
Did the scrub show a clean read of everything? Or did it report errors?
-
rwp
What type of device is this? What does the SMART data say? Run a SMART selftest and look at the result of it.
-
kerneldove_
zpool status says one or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. an attempt was made to correct the error. applications are unaffected. scan: scrub repaired 0B with 0 errors
-
kerneldove_
errosr: no known data errors
-
kerneldove_
but cksum column has 2 for nda0p3.eli
-
rwp
Hmm... I would probably "zpool clear" the error since it thinks the scrub had no errors. Then I would run a smartctl -t short /dev/nda0p3 and then after waiting for it to be done run smartctl -l selftest /dev/nda0p3 and see what it says.
-
kerneldove_
smartctl commands fail saying unable to detect device type
-
kerneldove_
specify device type with -d option
-
kerneldove_
it's a nvme ssd fwiw
-
ant-x
rwp, "You say that like there was any doubt" > Yeah, there is often doubt on my side, and the syntax with nested ssh calls is difficult, and target server of the outer invocation does not matter becauuse ssh -W performs the connection.
-
rwp
Oh, NVMe, no support for SMART there.
-
rwp
ant-x, Right. But *I* knew it would work. :-)
-
ant-x
Good for you!
-
rwp
If you move the option from the command line into the ~/.ssh/config file then the server name will matter because it will be used to select that stanza from the config file.
-
ant-x
Just an alias.
-
ant-x
And how am I to keep the reverse tunnel open -- in a screen session?
-
rwp
I use autossh to manage it. It's available as a pkg.
-
rwp
It's really late here so I will be saying Good Night until tomorrow.
-
ant-x
rwp, thans, and good night. I wondered if an reverse tunnel could be opepened in an init script or a @boot cronjob (if the FreeBSD cron supports @boot).
-
ant-x
Hello, all. My old machine has an Intel Pentium 4 CPU, according to sysctl. Does FreeBSD have tools to let me now the exact model of the CPU, to save physical disassembly?

Cloudflare is now going donw

Retrofan
Look like the rate of hacking and outages is increasing these days..
-
JetpackJackson
Yo I can put more ram into it
-
JetpackJackson
Nice
-
JetpackJackson
I should figure out how to use this thing as a sort of thin client
-
oz1tmm
Yeah, We've got local elections in .dk, and the russians have targeted "us" 'cause of the support for .ua
-
oz1tmm
Thought it might be that, but turns out it quite more than that.

Retrofan
yeah worldwide mafias is doing very huge work these days..
-
oz1tmm
Can't help but notice the similarities in lists of companies that have laid off people in favor of using AI, and companies that recently have faced outtages.... Not saying it's 1:1, but....
-
Retrofan
AI needs huge resources
-
Retrofan
Also more hack able
-
scottpedia
we are playing with fire if we believe in a thing as stupid as "AI"
-
scottpedia
it's not that humans are all born without any sort of potential
-
scottpedia
but by teaching the chimps the theory of evolution, they are going to only look back at inferior species and refuse to evolve any further
-
oz1tmm
The "I" in AI is a groce overestimate :)
-
TommyC
Great marketing, though.
-
TommyC
Re-naming Artificial Neural Networks to make people think it's some sort of sentient servant or something.

Just heard at the ${OFFICE} - DownFlare, CloudFail(ure)
-
Retrofan
They had many problems the past months
-
Retrofan
also they affected in the outage (hack) of data centers in India
-
scottpedia
it's such idiocy to believe that ML can produce something that is both "intelligent" and "math-proficient"
-
scottpedia
it's very very difficult to teach an ML model to do math although techinically it runs on a computer
-
scottpedia
but these investors seem to be very much buying into that c**p

polarian
I see there is a release branch for 15.0 now! only a few more weeks until its released!

dont run cloudflare kids!

polarian
wait
-
polarian
JetpackJackson: are you the same from XMPP?
-
JetpackJackson
Yeah
-
JetpackJackson
Didn't know you were here lol
-
Retrofan
It's making easy for hackers to get down most of web by just hacking one serivce
-
polarian
I literally talk about BSD endlessly, where do you think I would be :P
-
JetpackJackson
Lol true
-
polarian
JetpackJackson: whats brings you here
-
polarian
Retrofan: its worse than that
-
polarian
CF decrypts (and likely stores) all TLS packets
-
JetpackJackson
polarian: wanted to try FreeBSD lol
-

well, welcome!

It's fun, I'm enjoying it

cloudflare sucks
-
polarian
So everyone who uses cloudflare, think of all those financial transactions cloudflare can see
-
polarian
they literally know everything about you :)
-
polarian
my infrastructure is proudly hosted without CF
-
JetpackJackson
Nice
-
polarian
also I feel cloudflare has become big out of the fear of DDOS
-
polarian
but big botnets have taken out cloudflare before xD
-
Retrofan
I am using CF to prevent another hack of my server :(
-
polarian
Retrofan: sarcasm?
-
mage
-
Retrofan
No
-
mzar
no worries, FreeBSD is still cloud-free
-
Retrofan
I don't know how to stop hacks of my servers
-
Retrofan
they are huge
-
mzar
have you been pwned ?
-
Retrofan
and I am using linode which they got attacked few days ago
-
polarian
JetpackJackson: if you want to hang out with some BSD folks (across all 3) checkout #bsdcafe which is now bridged to the bsdcafe matrix
-
polarian
its a cool community
-
polarian
mzar: would explain why the ports take weeks to hit repos
-
polarian
lol
-
JetpackJackson
Oh cool, thanks!

Retrofan
I think hackers are targeting India and west Asia
-
mzar
polarian: they hit just in time ;-p
-
polarian
mage: yeah looks about right
-
Retrofan
many AI datacenters are there
-
mzar
where ?
-
mzar
you have to fence them Retrofan
-
Retrofan
and in 8 Nov most of Indian datacenters was down
-
mzar
now, when LLMs are idling , we are saving about 1.5% of the global electricty
-
Retrofan
Yeah good
-
Retrofan
and saving water
-
mzar
prbobably too
-
scottpedia
Retrofan: cf is a phacking traitor
-
scottpedia
it opens the backdoor for google to crawl the site but lock the thing down for the rest of us

OMG Cloudflare. I need to think it better. Cloudflare is down so my sites are down. It can be a simple fix only if I was able to access the dashboard and disable the protection. But hey, dashboard is down (:
-

I guess I can turn off the protection via API, but guess where are those API keys? My fault.

zip
A big shout out to the folks at Fastly for providing a fast and reliable connection for me to download FreeBSD with today
-
nerozero
Hi there, have anyone tried www/ladybird browser ?
-
ant-x
zip, indeed. I for one am long accustomed to fast, reliable, and unlimited interenet (although it may change any time), and have forgotten it is not everywhere the case.
-
cpet
ant-x: first internet i had was a 14.4 modem connection later upgraded to 33.6 and then 56k
-
cpet
downloading freebsd then going to bed then gambling if it finished or not
-
cpet
was always a pain :)
-
JetpackJackson
hmm has anyone here used platformio on freebsd? i can compile a blink example for the nano but not a hackpack code that uses a library. i used trombik's toolchain github repo to get it to work so im confused why platformio is only sort of half working? like i can compile the code fine on linux so i know its compileable
-
zip
god, memories of downloading 100mb worth of slackware floppy disk images over dial-up
-
cpet
JetpackJackson: just because it compiles doesn't mean it works
-
cpet
zip: :)
-
ant-x
cpet, mine was formally and nominally 56 kbs, but in practice it hardly reached 30-40.
-
LxGHTNxNG
Capio|Yaazkal: The API would also be down
-
ant-x
cpet, download managers to the rescue, e.g. Reget.
-
JetpackJackson
cpet: true
-
cpet
ant-x: DSL was the same way if you had a noisy line DSL sucked
-
JetpackJackson
I guess I'll figure out bhyve today
-
cpet
ive only played with Arduino IDE
-
cpet
JetpackJackson: could use the linux version with linux emu or the windows client with wine
-
cpet
installing a VM for 1 program seems over board to me
-
JetpackJackson
Alright
-
ant-x
cpet, yet people seem to be routinely running single program in containers.
-
cpet
actually it's python so as long as all the modules are installed it should work with little mods
-
cpet
ant-x: and interestly enough docker has no maintainer :)
-
ant-x
Wow!
-
cpet
why use docker when you can use OCI
-
cpet
JetpackJackson: does this run on top of VSCode ?
-
JetpackJackson
Idk I'm just using the cli
-
cpet
It's built on top of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code – free, open source, and MIT licensed editor
-
cpet
oh screw that then hah
-
JetpackJackson
Oh the arduino IDE
-
nerozero
oh, the entire net went down ....
-
polarian
cpet: I have DSL :)
-
polarian
works fine, better than the coax in the area
-
polarian
but im lucky :)

polarian
well lucky DSL wise, not with the fibre postcode lottery
-
polarian
nerozero: nah just cloudflare

nerozero
@polarian, look logs 20 min ago

CloudFlare having a bad day.
-
polarian
?
-
nerozero
CrtxReavr, yeah, 3 hours down
-
nerozero
-
nerozero
polarian, like 30-50 people disconnected in 2 sec
-
polarian
cloudflare ruined normies lives today
-
nerozero
Odysee was down too
-
polarian
so did docker
-
hodapp
I was thrilled to not be stuck on DSL anymore. I paid for "fiber" and it was 50 megabit VDSL to an exchange in the neighborhood.
-
hodapp
well, it was 50 megabits *after* arguing with the ISP for multiple weeks that when their modem was showing me right in the logs that it was only getting a 10 megabit pipe down, it was a problem on their end, not on mine
-
hodapp
but they refused to investigate until they sent a tech out. the tech did 15 seconds of tests and then corrected the error on their end.
-
scottpedia
ph@ck CrtxReavr CF
-
scottpedia
it's turning the internet into "an App"
-
unclear
hodapp: a tale as old as time
-
scottpedia
imagine doing exactly the same thing as AWS cloudfront but running it as the business of a company
-
scottpedia
lame is the right word
-
hodapp
but luckily have actual fiber now! and I left the coax line in place, in case I gotta switch
-
unclear
Then again I have seen some of the reports normal users send in to friends in the buissnes
-
CrtxReavr
coax corrodes. . . it's just a matter of when, not if the ability to carry a viable signal will degrade.
-
hodapp
CrtxReavr: what kind of time-scale are we talking, though?
-
CrtxReavr
Let's see. . .
-
CrtxReavr
I had cable internet between 2000 & 2020. . . had to get the coax between the curb and the side of the house replaced at least twice.
-
CrtxReavr
Plus, there was multple service calls where they could just cut ~10cm off the ends and re-crimp.
-
tsoome
cd ..
-
unclear
I do remember adsl over string
-
unclear
-
tsoome
ah, there it went my cd..
-
unclear
Could be worse, it wasn't sudo...
-
CrtxReavr
I still very much remember my worst typo ever. . . and it wasn't even as root.
-
CrtxReavr
I was in my homedir, and I meant to type something like 'rm abc*' but instead typed 'rm abc *'.
-
Capio|Yaazkal
I just remember this down that big on CloudFlare since using it (many years). But unfortunatelly I can't thing of an strategy if this happens again. I mean, I have domain registered, DNS and proxy with them. Maybe registering the domain elsewere and having the change to change NS server if it happens again. Unless there is no way.
-
Capio|Yaazkal
s/thing/think

CrtxReavr

CrtxReavr
It represents four generations of Internet connectivity in my neighborhood.
-
CrtxReavr
From left to right, POTS (sorta) for dial-up & iDSL, Time-Warner/Spectrum cable, & Google Fiber.
-
hodapp
CrtxReavr: supposedly(tm) we will get AT&T Fiber around here soon. I haven't gotten any clue on whether they're running their own fiber (which seems unlikely) or reusing the existing fiber that the other big ISP already owns (which also seems unlikely)
-
hodapp
or using coax and going "LOOK IT'S FIBER"
-
daddoo
CrtxReavr - is (your?) dog about to comment about your neighborhood's internet connectivity?
-
hodapp
my cat has definitely sampled the internet connectivity sometimes
-
hodapp
by chewing on cables mostly
-
cyric
comment about or "comment" on?
-
daddoo
yes :-)
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm I think I can use platformio to download libraries that I can then put into /usr/local per
wiki.freebsd.org/Arduino
-
CrtxReavr
daddoo, I don't think she (the dog) ever chewed on network cables, but she went through a phase where she chewed the shit out of several power adapters.
-
daddoo
ouch
-
JetpackJackson
This might be a dumb question, but how do I run programs in a rocky Linux chroot? Like I can't seem to install things in the chroot to run
-
zip
you need enough of an operating system for it to work
-
JetpackJackson
I thought that's what the rocky Linux package did
-
JetpackJackson
Like I did chroot /compat/linux /bin/bash and theres barely anything there
-
zip
hm. you've got your linux proc and sys filesystems mounted?
-
zip
oh hang on – I'm misunderstanding your problem a little. You've got bash running fine but it's other software you need now?
-
JetpackJackson
Correct
-
JetpackJackson
Like I can't even find a package manager lol
-
JetpackJackson
In the chroot
-
JetpackJackson
For Rocky Linux
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm I got an Ubuntu jammy chroot working
-
JetpackJackson
So thats nice
-
JetpackJackson
I wonder if Theres a way to use arch instead
-
cpet
JetpackJackson: create a Linux jail
-
cpet
-
JetpackJackson
Is there a debootstrap script for arch?
-
cpet
nope
-
JetpackJackson
Darn
-
JetpackJackson
Well at least I got platformio working on the Ubuntu chroot
-
cpet
if you are picky on the linux distro then install in bhyve if youre like me and just want x to run debian it is
-
JetpackJackson
Oh
-
JetpackJackson
Ok
-
cpet
as I think ports only has redhat9 as the default linux emu in ports
-
cpet
cent os 7 or redhat 9
-
JetpackJackson
I just realized its pronounced "beehive" and not "bye-vuh"...
-
JetpackJackson
Ah
-
JetpackJackson
Idk if this laptop is beefy enough for virtualization
-
cpet
seeing how you basically compile the OS when you install arch
-
cpet
i dont think that would work
-
cpet
linux.mk does mention rocky linux as well
-
cpet
heh cent os 7 is deprecated so the only option is rh9
-
mason
I thought Arch was all binaries. Gentoo is compiled.
-
JetpackJackson
Yeah arch is binary except for the AUR
-
specialbomb
void linux is both, its similar to FreeBSD in that manner. you can build the world and all packages, or just download binaries from a mirror
-
LxGHTNxNG
void linux is 11.3 silly little guys in a trenchcoat
-
specialbomb
ive used it for a long time now, heh
-
cpet
i remeber i compiled the kernel as I installed it
-
cpet
but this was 2005ish
-
cpet
the only linux I use is endeaver and virtualbox to run windows 11 for school as bhyve had issues with tpm
-
cpet
to run this fingerprint comparing app
-
specialbomb
ah, tpm. bleh
-
cpet
which later runs in wine
-
cpet
but since I have 2 extra 1 tb ssd's i install that on one
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm why did my disk usage suddenly increase
-
cpet
jails are big
-
JetpackJackson
Yazi?? Why does yazi pull in all of noto-fonts and zoxide?
-
JetpackJackson
Those are optional deps
-
cpet
interesting how my first computer had a 2GB drive
-
cpet
these days you can get a 4tb drive for about 100 bucks
-
cpet
and people still get annoyed when an extra 100 megs of packages are installed
-
cpet
heh
-
JetpackJackson
In this case its 6gb
-
cpet
tank/ROOT/default 820G 15G 805G 2% /
-
JetpackJackson
On arch it depends on just gcc-libs and nerd-fonts-symbols
-
cpet
i will never fill up those 820G
-
cpet
but its a z2 with 4 disk so disk io is nice and speedy
-
cpet
JetpackJackson: you could compile your port using portmaster and change the options
-
specialbomb
I should share my pool size when I get home :D
-
cpet
AUXTOOLS can be disabled
-
cpet
but on a side note if you are runing freebsd in cli learn the cli dont use something that compares to midnight commander
-
JetpackJackson
cpet: oh ok
-
cpet
JetpackJackson: sadly with pkg's you can't please everyone but thats the nice thing about poudriere and portmaster
-
cpet
just takes longer
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm OK the thing is that nerd-fonts installs all the fonts but I just want symbols
-
JetpackJackson
Idk I'll play with it later
-
cpet
JetpackJackson: what exactly are the symbols ?
-
JetpackJackson
cpet: font symbols
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm how can I tell poudriere to get the quarterly branch
-
mzar
use separate ports tree
-
JetpackJackson
Im only setting up one tree
-
mzar
OK
-
mzar
so switch the branch
-
JetpackJackson
How
-
mzar
-
ant-x
deconfed, "lscpu". Thanks, my lscpu dump is here: <
paste.c-net.org/CadmiumAbruptly> . powerd fails to start with: "no cpufreq(4) support -- aborting: No such file or directory" . The man page for cpufreq is in section 4 and documents a C API, listing several frequence drivers, including p4tcc -- Pentium 4 Thermal Control Circuitry. How can I make sure whether my CPU supports this (or any other throttling method), and if it does, how can I use it in FreeBSD?
-
mzar
ant-x: that's 32-bit CPU
-
ant-x
Yes.
-
JetpackJackson
mzar: I mean via poudriere but ill try that
-
mzar
pourdiere is only a factory JetpackJackson
-
mzar
my shift is over, Good Night
-
ant-x
g'night, mzar.
-
mzar
ant-x: if it was supported than probably best version to test would be =< 10.0-RELEASE
-
ant-x
Ouch. At this stage, I'd rather get a better fan and cut down its powersupply with a series resistor for added silence.
-
ant-x
When a new FreeBSD release is coming out, how are the administrator informed which parts of their hardware are no longer supported?
-
ant-x
If FreeBSD supported my CPU circa version 10, why would 14 not support it, if still has a i386 build?
-
LxGHTNxNG
Release notes.
-
mzar
ha.. that's hard to answer, the only answer that comes to mind is: panta rhei
-
mzar
maybe you can try booting NetBSD ?
-
ant-x
Sure I can, only I don't like switching OSes as sight of problems -- teach me bad habits, and drains my energy.
-
ant-x
mzar, why did you mentioned NetBSD in particular?
-
ant-x
A totally different question: if I got me a free third-level domain name, and a static IP on my router, what are my next steps in establishing a web server -- set up some name server, such as bind?
-
mzar
ant-x: I thing the right answer is: you neglected it, instead of running FreeBSD on this laptop and reporting issues you skipped this part and guys removed, or rather changed the lines of code your equipment was realying on
-
mzar
so it's your fault

When did this happend, I assmebled and started this ancient computer just a few days ago!
-
cpet
yeap
-
mzar
hello cpet
-
mzar
you have to proceed with this troubleshooting further, my shift is over, bye
-
ant-x
It nice to hear, however, that the devs may be paying head to the users of FreeBSD on old hardware.
-
ant-x
g'night.
-
cpet
you cant expect software to work for everything forever
-
cpet
especially when you can run 32bit apps on 64bit as well as compile 32 bit apps on 64 bit
-
JetpackJackson
Ports reminds me of when I ran gentoo
-
cpet
gentoo got ports from freebsd
-
ant-x
Indeed. But I had the impressions *nix was often used to bring old hardware back to life. This can't last forever, of course.
-
cpet
think the poriginal dev had some issues and created gentoo
-
cpet
or some damn thing ?
-
cpet
ant-x: thats why we have netbsd
-
ant-x
cpet, is NetBSD more compatible with old hardware?
-
cpet
yeap
-
ant-x
Thanks, mzar and cpet for bringing NetBSD to my attention.
-
ant-x
Chancec are I'll migrate my stuff to NetBSD in good time.
-
cpet
we use netbsd's bmake as well as blocklistd and some other stuff so
-
ant-x
programs originally developed on/for NetBSD?
-
cpet
yeap
-
cpet
the BSD's actually share quit a bit of code
-
cpet
a lot of wifi drivers come from openbsd
-
ant-x
Still do, after no many years since the forking out from BSD?
-
cpet
i have a copy of 386bsd on my ftp thats interesting to read
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm I might need to make a portfor the symbols font and then modify yazi to use it
-
ant-x
cpet, read the source?
-
cpet
yeah
-
JetpackJackson
Idk I'll think about it. I dont want to get too crazy with configuring ports cause I did that with gentoo
-
ant-x
What is the lightest and smallest name server available on FreeBSD?
-
ant-x
as in authoritative DNS server, I mean.
-
cpet
ant-x: nsd
-
ant-x
Interesting. From the docs it seems that bind was the original FreeBSD name server.
-
cpet
once upon a time it was included
-
cpet
now its been replaced by unbound
-
cpet
which never works for me
-
cpet
due to my old school mindset I still install bind-tools
-
ant-x
But is unbound meant for authoritative use?
-
cpet
no its just a resolver
-
cpet
but unbound is on my list like pulse audio is
-
cpet
kill it with fire and dont use it
-
cpet
now I am unsure if you remove unbound will it affect resolinvg with resolv.conf as I think thats done with libc
-
cpet
but I dont want to brake my system so I kept it if not I would of removed it from base
-
cpet
apparently you can
-
cpet
ant-x: most people use 3rd party DNS that makes unbound useless in my opinion, my ISP moved form there own DNS to google's but they still allow old DNS for biz users
-
ant-x
And nsd is authoritative only. It is required for hosting one's own domain. Do I understand correctly that a recusive name server is not required for that, as the client will be using their own recursive DNS servers to get the my IP from my domain?
-
cpet
no
-
cpet
however if you want to be able to resolve domains using your own DNS you need bind or powerdns
-
ant-x
no -- not required, or no -- I misunderstood the purpse of recurisve name servers?
-
cpet
not required
-
cpet
if you look most of the top TLD's are using nsd vs bind
-
ant-x
Ah, thanks. For now I have no idea why one would need one's own DNS resolver, unless to feel more independent.
-
cpet
back in the day when the internet was slow caching DNS information made the internet speedier
-
ant-x
Is the undersling name server software easily determinable?
-
cpet
I personally like running my own stuff so I run my own DNS
-
ant-x
In your case, nsd + recursive name-server may be worse than a single tool for both authoritative and recursive.
-
cpet
oh I run NSD on the server bind on another machine
-
ant-x
You have an multi-machine system at home? Cool.
-
cpet
-
cpet
whats a multimachine system ?
-
cpet
I have 2 machines one acts like a server another is a desktop that I happen to run my own caching DNS
-
cpet
mostly due to old habbit
-
ant-x
Well -- your own hosting infrastructure, based on more than a single machine.
-
cpet
now is it any more secure than running say DNS over https
-
cpet
nope
-
cpet
i just like the idea if my DNS is down I can login and firue out why
-
cpet
vs compalin to cloudflare
-
ant-x
cpet: "run NSD on the server bind on another machine" > I undestood it as you having two server machines.
-
cpet
i understood multimachine system as a VPS
-
cpet
heh
-
ant-x
No, no, no.
-
cpet
i have a biz line with a /29 or 5 static IP's
-
cpet
so i host my own domain, email, all that fun stuff
-
ant-x
I will be glad when I manage to host a website on my single static IP and access it via my domain name. It is already accessible by the IP (when the machine is on :-)
-
cpet
it runs of a intel i7, 32gigs of ram and a zfs mirror of 2 512 gb nve drives
-
ant-x
ZFS reminds me to ask your opinion: Does silent bit rot really happen?
-
cpet
just learn to properly set up the site
-
ant-x
cpet, I can't register the domain before the authoritative name server is up.
-
cpet
shouldn't matter
-
ant-x
An orthogonal problem?
-
cpet
and simply put nothing last forever and yes silent bit rot is a thing
-
cpet
this why backups are a must
-
cpet
or mitigate it using a z2 or a nas or even a detacheable USB drive
-
ant-x
I am not usre you can didstinguish rotten vs fresh copy given two backups, without an additional CRC.
-
cpet
the least of my worries are not being able to access my 20 years of emails
-
cpet
aparently some people backup there emails
-
ant-x
The more you have, the more you worry about somehow losing it...
-
ant-x
cpet, emails, usenet posts, all they have ever said on IRC.
-
ant-x
``man syslog'' is the programmers documentation (section 3). Where is the admnistrator'd documentation, that is info on configuring syslog and locaing its log files?
-
specialbomb
try man syslogd
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm xwayland is crashing. That's exciting
-
cpet
i dont care enough to use wayland so I use x11
-
cpet
as long as it runs firefox and plays my youtube
-
cpet
heh
-
ant-x
specialbomb, thanks.
-
V_PauAmma_V
ant-x, "man syslogd" or "man syslog.conf"
-
cpet
just the linux world wanting to reimplement something and the whole world goes OMFG! i need to use it cause everyone else does
-
ant-x
Sure, I went from syslogd to syslog.conf via SEE ALSO.
-
specialbomb
thats what I intended :)
-
specialbomb
picking up your own pieces is an important skill
-
ant-x
Indeed.
-
ant-x
It may be like a puzzle.
-
cpet
apropos is your friend
-
ant-x
man man
-
specialbomb
cpet: same here, x11 and i3 for almost a decade here lol
-
cpet
that searches based on input
-
cpet
apropos syslog will show you every man page that includes or mentions syslog
-
specialbomb
I tried migrating to wayland, but none of my existing stuff would work with it well so I gave up on trying lpl
-
specialbomb
s/lpl/lol
-
cpet
every time I trie wayland it just gave me a black screen
-
polarian
networking is pissing me off
-
cpet
yeap that happens a lot
-
polarian
stateful packets are hitting my drop log rule
-
polarian
which might be a route issue come to think of it
-
polarian
nope correct route
-
polarian
I have a http packet coming in on a epair from a vnet jail, this is NAT'd and passed out but when it comes back is is dropped by pf
-
cpet
A stateful packet might hit a drop rule due to an
-
cpet
asymmetric traffic path, where the return traffic takes a different route than the initial packet, causing it to miss the established state entry. Other reasons include misconfigured rules, state table exhaustion (e.g., exceeded TCP reassembly depth), network connection breaks, or a specific packet having an unsupported option.
-
polarian
ah shit
-
polarian
this firewall used to work, until I complicated shit
-
cpet
google is hard
-
cpet
(TM)
-
cpet
heh
-
polarian
did you just paste llm shit
-
polarian
I have wlan0, em0, then a lagg0 joining the two
-
cpet
it made you think of why its doing it
-
cpet
so why does it matter where it from
-
polarian
and then a wg0 tunnel
-
polarian
packet goes out and returns on wg0
-
cpet
then in theory it's doing what it says above
-
specialbomb
hmm, could you offer a better description of your topology? where are you sending traffic to?
-
specialbomb
and what do your rules look like?
-
cpet
no one ever does that
-
polarian
I just thought maybe its because I am filtering on lagg0
-
polarian
I shouldnt be filtering on forwarding, but only on the physical interfaces, and wireguard
-
polarian
hmmm still doesn't work
-
specialbomb
you're allowed to filter on a lagg
-
cpet
nothing will stop you from filtering localhost
-
specialbomb
I probably have a similar setup. how are you exposing your jail to the external network? are you routing or using a bridge vdev?
-
cpet
now is it the correct way probably not but hey you can do it
-
polarian
specialbomb: epair
-
specialbomb
yeah, but your epair interface on the host has to either route the traffic, or the traffic needs to get bridged. which are you doing?
-
specialbomb
g2g sadly
-
kerneldove
uhhh anyone ever get freebsd crashing more and more often, and now when i go past boot screen i get a fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode then server reboot again?
-
kerneldove
14.3p5
-
cpet
i blame HW
-
specialbomb
you seem to have a lot of hw issues, betting on it
-
cpet
start memtesting your ram and checking your drives
-
cpet
possibly checking your gfx card which I doubt thats it
-
kerneldove
specialbomb, i run dozens of servers
-
cpet
HW still dies despite running dozens of servers
-
kerneldove
ya my point was that i don't have "lot of hw issues" if adjusted for amount of hw i run
-
JetpackJackson
Ugh I think I'm having an integrated graphics issue...
YaLTeR/niri #722
-
polarian
ok even weirder now that dhclient had to be executed manually
-
polarian
dhcp was not automatic
-
polarian
hmmmm
-
polarian
did it manually doesnt matter
-
specialbomb
kerneldove: just givin ya shit :p
-
kerneldove
:)
-
polarian
specialbomb: routed
-
cpet
did you set forwarding in rc.conf ?
-
polarian
yeah
-
polarian
like I said this used to work
-
polarian
few months back
-
specialbomb
so what did you change
-
polarian
just trying to figure out what in my network has changed
-
cpet
the user
-
polarian
rn I am just stripping everything out of pf
-
cpet
:P
-
polarian
specialbomb: afaik just adding lagg0
-
polarian
and modifying the firewall a bit
-
polarian
but I cant remember how
-
polarian
so I am just stripping it down :P
-
polarian
also stripped out lagg0
-
rtprio
lagg0 is great
-
specialbomb
probably a simple mistake. if you change the egress port its important then you have to make sure all of your rules now refer to it. did you set a macro for your egress interface?
-
specialbomb
typically thats common practice
-
specialbomb
s/then/that
-
polarian
specialbomb: yes all this is macro'd
-
specialbomb
very interesting. I have not had issues like this and I use a lagg and routed jails, one of which has a wg peer within
-
specialbomb
now, I dont use PF at the moment since I use a dedicated firewall, but while I was playing with PF it conntracking never messed up
-
polarian
I removed lagg
-
polarian
its the same thing
-
polarian
00:00:00.000007 rule 8/0(match): block in on wg0: 34.160.111.145 > 192.168.4.2: ip-proto-6
-
polarian
im using ifconfig.me (http get using fetch) to test from within the jail
-
polarian
pflog0 shows this
-
polarian
this *should* be stateful
-
polarian
and I remember having this year a year ago, but I cant remember what fixed it
-
specialbomb
hmm. its hard to tell without knowing your whole topology
-
polarian
welp I stripped it down to
-
polarian
wlan0, wg0 and the epair
-
specialbomb
im assuming 192.168.4.0/24 is your jail network?
-
polarian
no thats wireguard network
-
polarian
the response packet from the webserver is being dropped by the default "block log" when in on wg0
-
polarian
this *should* be stateful
-
specialbomb
why is it matching ip-proto-6?
-
» polarian shrugs
-
specialbomb
I would look into that :)
-
polarian
alright let me copy the firewall
-
specialbomb
just to clarify, by "dedicated firewall," I mean an external firewall device. PF running on the host is not really the same as that
-
JetpackJackson
cpet: I want to use wayland
-
polarian
-
polarian
literally stripped it down to this
-
polarian
my router runs OpenBSD which has its own firewall, but I know its not the issue
-
polarian
the packet passes through both egress and ingress without issue
-
polarian
its purely a host config problem
-
polarian
anyways stripped down firewall to the basics and it still doesnt want to fucking work lol
-
polarian
I remember having this issue ages ago but I cant for the life of me remember what fixed it
-
polarian
I moaned about it on IRC a year ago until lightbulb moment :P
-
polarian
its definitely a state issue because if I drop the block rule, the host drops the packet
-
polarian
the route is fine
-
specialbomb
I have to ask, whats with the NAT rule on the wireguard if?
-
polarian
oh thats weird, theres duplicate states too
-
polarian
even if I flush it will duplicate the state it seems
-
polarian
specialbomb: this is my laptop so the router cant be handed packets for networks local to my laptop
-
polarian
wouldn't work on other networks
-
polarian
lbmk_if is the epair
-
polarian
and its network is a /29 (as theres also a bhyve vm within the jail)
-
polarian
so I need 4 IPs, and a /30 provides 2 (and /31 also 2)
-
specialbomb
what are you trying to achievr with wireguard then? what are you tunneling to and from?
-
polarian
so the /29 is NAT'd do the IPv4 address of the wg iface
-
polarian
and then passed on to the router for WAN access
-
polarian
specialbomb: wg is always on vpn
-
polarian
I dropped all my blocking on the physical iface to prevent packets leaving the laptop unless its through wg0
-
specialbomb
so, are you attempting to VPN all of your traffic or just your jail traffic
-
polarian
all the traffic gets vpn'd
-
polarian
if there was no vpn (the initial config a year ago) it would be nat to wlan0
-
polarian
I am just so fed up of this
-
specialbomb
sorry, im trying my best. im just a novice.
-
specialbomb
im also at work so its hard to focus on
-
JetpackJackson
Hmm I want a framework cause it seems like they have good HW
-
JetpackJackson
*HW support
-
JetpackJackson
Im really bummed about xwayland not working on niri
-
polarian
specialbomb: lol not at you
-
polarian
I am not expected anyone to exactly help lol
-
polarian
JetpackJackson: f*ck wayland
-
specialbomb
this setup just seems kinda fucked I guess haha
-
polarian
yeah well
-
specialbomb
theres a lot of variables at play here and all I can do is ask questions and try to piece together your goal
-
polarian
no clue why
-
LxGHTNxNG
wayland is marmite
-
rtprio
what does that mean
-
specialbomb
you have multiple external interfaces too and im thinking routing issues could still be at play here, its hard to say.

Hey all. I just switched my media server (the family tv) over to freebsd, and I noticed that vlc doesn't ship with nvlc (ncurses) turned on by default. I'm not wildly fond of nvlc, so rather than build the port by hand I'm wondering if there's a simple text-based audio front-end that I might use in place of nvlc.
