Copy RaspBSD image to micro SD card

The RaspBSD image for Raspberry Pi can be found at http://raspbsd.org/raspberrypi.html. After it’s been downloaded, we need to copy it to a microSD card. Before we can do that, we need to find out the device name represents the microSD card. One way to find out is to plug the card in, and check the newest messages of dmesg. $ dmesg ...

Install PostgreSQL server on Raspberry Pi from FreeBSD port

Before I wrote this blog post, I had thought there was no binary package for PostgreSQL server for FreeBSD 11 running on Raspberry Pi. Hmm… how wrong I was! I just wasted the whole night compiling Postgres from source. DOH! Anyhow, here’s the step I took to do it. If you’re familiar with FreeBSD, there’s nothing new here.

While looking at the log file on my Raspberry Pi (running Fedora 20 Remix), I noticed that the date/time didn’t look right. # date Mon Jul 21 09:01:18 EDT 2014 # timedatectl Local time: Mon 2014-07-21 08:56:16 EDT Universal time: Mon 2014-07-21 12:56:16 UTC Timezone: n/a (EDT, -0400) NTP enabled: yes NTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: no DST active: yes Last DST change: DST began at Sun 2014-03-09 01:59:59 EST Sun 2014-03-09 03:00:00 EDT Next DST change: DST ends (the clock jumps one hour backwards) at Sun 2014-11-02 01:59:59 EDT Sun 2014-11-02 01:00:00 EST EDT is a North American Eastern Daylight Time, which is 4 hours behind UTC.
