18:05.48masonrkta: Right, but that doesn't mean you can talk to IPv6 things in the outside world. That depends on your connection to your ISP, or if you're using a tunnelf or it.
18:08.20rktamason: Yes, my ISP provides IPv6
18:08.54DHEbut the error was specifically 404, suggesting that connectivity is fine

18:09.09masonSorry.
18:11.11mason(I was thinking DNS didn't resolve, but as often happens, I was confused.)
18:13.06masonrkta: Anyway, if you try again you might get a different mirror.
18:13.36rktaI tried multiple times, will try again
18:14.33rktanope, same mirror, same error. Is a cache involved that I can clear?
18:15.17masonrkta: I don't believe so. I believe you're pulling Debian packages from deb.debian.org, a mirror bouncer.
18:16.16rktaOk, then it is a debian problem, not devuan, is it?
18:16.22masonrkta: If I go to http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/ I'm evidently getting a different mirror, as I see your package.
18:16.31masonrkta: That's what I believe, yes.
18:16.51masonhttp://deb.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/f/firefox-esr/firefox-esr_78.6.0esr-1~deb10u1_amd64.deb seems to exist
18:16.55masonfor me anyway
18:18.31rktamason: wget works here too, but aptitude still fails *shrug*
18:19.20masonrkta: I'm not sure how to get you to resolve a different Debian mirror beyond being tricky with /etc/hosts or something. But you could try that.
18:19.52masonrkta: Maybe add an entry in /etc/hosts giving a more workable mirror in place of deb.debian.org.
18:20.50masonrkta: There's a list here: https://www.debian.org/mirror/list
18:21.26masonI've not tested this theory but it might consistently get you faster downloads.
18:22.41rktamason: thanks, I gonna install the deb with dpkg and try changing the mirror if the problem occurs regularly

20:21.20systemdleteI used dd to create swapfile on an encrypted btrfs, which in turn is on lvm partition.  On one system, this works fine, on the other it fails because the dd-generated file has holes in it.  Any ideas?
20:22.50systemdleteMy dd cmd was thus so: dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swap bs=1048576 count=100
20:23.40systemdletemkswap /home/swap ; swapon /home/swap
20:24.01systemdletekern.log reports that the swapfile has holes in it.
20:25.18systemdlete(Yes, I ddg'd for it.  Just admonitions to use dd, not fallocate, which solved many peoples' problem)
20:27.44masonsystemdlete: Be aware that it can be deeply problematic if you are forced into swap, but swap has both a CoW filesystem and an encrypted layer in-between you and it.
20:28.16masonsystemdlete: Does btrfs have an equivalent to ZFS volumes? If so, that'd be a better answer, although still far from ideal.
20:28.42systemdleteI did not realize that swap has encrytion already.  Is that enabled by default?
20:28.52masonBest would be just saving a raw partition to use for swap, or a raw MD, or even adding LUKS.
20:29.12systemdleteBut mason, I am thinking the problem is btrfs.  On the system where it worked, it was ext4 (with lvm encrypted)
20:29.38systemdleteI'm using luks for /home, so I figured it would be safe to have a swap on /home
20:30.02systemdleteBut since swap apparently has encryption already, maybe I can put the swap on another partition.
20:30.06masonsystemdlete: It doesn't on its own, but you can easily support it - reference (for instance) /dev/mapper/swap have something in /etc/crypttab that makes that exist, and give it a swap flag.
20:30.21masonsystemdlete: The real issue would be having swap living atop BtrFS.
20:30.22systemdleteoh, I see.  Thanks.
20:30.27systemdleteRight.
20:30.45systemdleteI didn't notice that until a moment after I posted, sorry.   That would be the kicker, yes.
20:31.18masonsystemdlete: It will probably work fine without pressure, but you really want swap when your system has memory pressure.
20:31.19systemdleteSo btrfs is likely to have holes in a dd'd file then.
20:33.43systemdlete?
20:33.54systemdletewhat happened -- I just typed something and it is gone
20:34.27systemdleteI'll create a lv for swap and add it to /etc/cryptfs

20:39.31systemdletecrypttab, sorry.
20:39.58systemdleteanyway, is it that btrfs just doesn't support hole-less (non-sparse) files?  Why doesn't it work?
20:41.51*** join/#devuan landley (~landley@136.62.4.88)
20:46.09systemdletehttps://lwn.net/Articles/718805/ -- slightly different problem, but it seems to point to some issue with sparseness on btrfs
20:47.59systemdleteI think I will create a new lv fs for /home (and swap), format it for ext4, copy my existing home to it, and create the swapfile there instead.  My objective is to only have to enter the crypt fs password once (I have my system set for autologin)
20:48.26systemdleteSounds to me like btrfs still needs some maturation or the like.

21:01.25systemdleteI'm not knocking btrfs.  It will eventually become the replacement for ext4 and friends.  I'm trying an experiment.  Instead of dd from /dev/zero, I'm dd'ing from /dev/random (which takes eternity, but...)
21:01.56systemdleteThen I'll see if mkswap/swapon works with that.  I don't dare use it for real, though.  Just an experiment.
21:02.49fsmithredit should be fine. It's not like swap is always full of zeroes.
21:03.04systemdleteEven if that much works, there is no guarantee that btrfs swap will work in use because maybe it will save zeroed blocks to the swapfile, leaving a hole in the table!
21:03.29systemdleteI'd rather not be a guinea pig for that result.
21:03.45fsmithredwhy btrfs and lvm? Doesn't the btrfs give you the features of lvm?
21:03.58systemdleteI haven't tried it, tbh.
21:04.17systemdleteI'm not anxious about using btrfs.  It's more that I'm trying not to be so... old.
21:04.51systemdleteI'm trying to be a bit... uh.  idk.
