crb_: not sure if it is complete, but have you tried find /usr/share/zoneinfo/ -type f | sed 's,.*/,,' | LANG=C grep '^[-A-Z0-9]*$'

gbon121: heh, no I hadn't thought of that I did look in zoneinfo but the files looked as if they were binary

they are, except for a few index files (tzdata.zi, zone*.tab)

PST8PDT is what I should use? for San Francisco?

ie TZ=PST8PDT

yes

you probably want America/Los_Angeles

although PST8PDT is basically the same thing

this is maybe a bit too tangential, but what should I take from several messages like this showing up when plugging in a USB mass storage device? (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SCSI sense: ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:21,0 (Logical block address out of range)

I just modded this iPod mini, replacing the battery and swapping the HDD for a 64GB CF card, and several SCSI errors got spat out to dmesg when I plugged the iPod into my laptop for the initial charge of this new battery

crb_, I suggest TZ=US/Pacific as the pattern is easier to remember than America/Los_Angeles or PST8PDT which is the traditional old style.

tm512, How big was the storage on the original ipod? Perhaps the new SD card is larger than expected now? I don't know. Sounds like an error that might not be important and might work just fine anyway?

the original microdrive was 4GB but there's also a 6GB variant. 64GB is anecdotally no problem at all for the iPod's firmware though

I'm not sure if there's any limitation aside from FAT32's limit, but I think I've heard things get tricky when people try to put like 1TB of storage or more in an old iPod

depends on the exact model though

tm512 i upgrade my mac mini storage and it worked fine on mac. can't remember now as i have migrated to apple music on my phone. i think it was in excess of 50GB

er ipod mini

it didn't have bluetooth though and a cable was annoying so i ditched it for apple music

I'm hoping to avoid having to pull out my old G4 for access to iTunes. the rockbox project has this little utility called ipodpatcher that can flash the OS, but I think I have to manually configure the partition table correctly first

I should have inspected the partitions on the original microdrive before I pulled it. it's too fat to fit in my USB card reader

I found this page from iPodLinux's wiki that gives the partition tables of iPods freshly restored with iTunes, with included instructions for Linux fdisk. I'm wondering how easy that'll be to translate over to FreeBSD

the start/end of the firmware partition are given in terms of cylinders. does gpart have that as an option (at least for MBR disks)?

i've used rockbox

I've tried it, but I kinda just prefer the stock OS. being stuck with just MP3 and AAC is unfortunate but I found FDK's AAC encoder to be pretty reasonable at the VBR4 setting (allegedly targeting ~128kbit, but I regularly see tracks average above 160)

this might be a good learning experience with gpart but I am a bit tempted to just pull out a Linux machine, probably my 2010 Latitude with Void on it

i'm surprised, all my ipods gave up the ghost years ago

even with care

I really love Rockbox with the voice menus on a Sansa Clip+. Then I can navigate listening to the menus.

rtprio: I bought mine only a couple years ago. specifically for rockbox even though it didn't turn out that way. I'm not sure how heavily used this thing was at the point it came into my possession

the original battery from '05 still had some life left though it rapidly degraded

today's the first time I disassembled this thing and the original battery is starting to look spicy. ever so slightly bloating so I guess it's good I finally got around to this

yeah, i have replaced a couple of batteries over the years, but only in the ... 2002-2006 range? wow

what are my options for getting a different local zfs filesystem mounted in a jail? unionfs? nfs?

rtprio: i wouldn't use unionfs yet, but nullfs works. you can also jail a zfs dataset, which lets the jail manipulate it with zfs(1), but i've found that difficult to set up and unreliable

yeah, but i don't want the jail to have exclusive access; i'm familar enough with nullfs and i only need read-only anyhow

+1 for nullfs which I use mounting read-only data into jails routinely.

I installed a mail/mu using ports and now when I do 'pkg update && pkg upgrade', pkg wants to reinstall the same version, which I don't want. Reason given is "options changed" but I didn't change any options when building via ports

mns, if you didn't adjust options, the port may have added/deleted it's own options

nxjoseph: anyway to get around it?

i don't know but i don't think a pkg-reinstall would do anything destructive

you can lock it to make pkg ignore it

ahh yes lock it. Let me look at how to do that. Thanks

you're welcome. it's easy, pkg lock/unlock

yup just saw that in the man page. Thanks. That did the trick.

Now to see about fixing mail/mu

what's wrong with it

mail/mu has a dependency on emacs, but ignored the emacs FLAVORs. I have emacs-nox installed on a headless system. When doing 'pkg upgrade' pkg wants to remove emacs-nox and install emacs, which pulls in other dependecies that I don't need nor want.

oh i see

mns, I haven't hit that myself but thanks for fixing it as I am also an emacs-nox user and that bad dependency would really annoy me.

rwp: not fixed yet. working on it :-)

Have a lot to learn about ports and packaging in BSD world.

mns, I'll cheer you on from the sidelines! :-)

anyone else with an up-to-date vaultwarden in a jail (behind Caddy in another jail) and an up-to-date iphone with the bitwarden app that claims "This is not a recognized Bitwarden server." ?

I enter my password in the app, press Unlock, and the app doesn't trust vaultwarden. meanwhile, the vaultwarden logs say my user logged in successfully, and it shows all 200 OK

github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/discussions/6885 this seems to suggest there was a recent update. and perhaps i need to wait that update hits the Latest repo

mns: portsnap fetch && portsnap extract && cp -R /usr/ports/mail/mu /usr/local/src/ && cd /usr/local/src/mu && emacs PKGBUILD [remove dependency] && make package

I ment Makefile not PKGBUILD

scoobybejesus: when I had this (Vaultwarden on NixOS, not FreeBSD, but client on iPhone) doing a Vaultwarden update fixed it

the error was still a pain though as it led me down an unrelated rabbit hole

okay, all fixed. I had updated, but then pkg did it's do-over where it discovered pkg dependency issues, and it didn't actually install the VW update. So i ran pkg upgrade a second time, and it was sitting there to be updated. And now we're in good shape again

thanks!

aic: cool, thanks. though I don't think that will fix the port for everyone.

no one should be using portsnap anymore... especially not if you intend to submit the port upstream, since the preferred format is a git-am(1) format patch

er, submit the patch upstream i mean

ivy: upstream as in to ports, yes?

mns: yes

where do I install jemalloc libs in freebsd?

im not seeing it in ports

swee: jemalloc is malloc(3) in freebsd

thanks, just found out i had a completely different problem
