Raspberry Pi 4 Alpine chroot scripts

🚨🚨🚨 I don't recommend this 🚨🚨🚨

I'm keeping it here so I can remember what I did, but I think a Docker container is a better way to go about it. I wrote a Dockerfile for this over here: https://github.com/mrled/alpine-rpi4-aports-docker

Scripts for building an Alpine chroot for building Alpine packages.

Who/what is this for?

Extract Alpine Linux ARM64 Raspberry Pi initrd

Want to see what's in the initrd without installing it?

This will extract it for you.

It also reminds me how to deal with cpio archives, which I can never remember.

Git configuration

FSCK objects

You probably want to enable object fscking, which will protect against some hypothetical attacks on SHA1

git config --global transfer.fsckobjects true
git config --global fetch.fsckobjects true

	STATE	TOURISM GUIDE
	WEST DAKOTA	Here, goblets of diesel fuel are burned in offering to the railroad gods. Locals make omelettes using the eggs of rattlesnakes.
	APSYLANIA	A land of snow and rust where only water towers can survive. Their long, iron tentacles guard the tombs of forgotten presidents.
	AGASSIZ	A colossal lead heart that connects all sewers throbs just beneath this state's surface. Its palpitations are felt as earthquakes.
	SELIMA	Known for pan-fried hornets dipped in maple salsa. The Roosevelt National Labyrinth begins near its eastern border, and never ends.
	OROCROIX	Scarecrows stuffed with telephone wire fill the few ghost towns that remain here. They subsist on our expended alkaline batteries.
	ELKANSAS	In the famous Deepweather Caves, tornadoes slumber in jet-black chrysalises. Tourists can get up close and hear their heartbeats.
	NEW BELARUS	Every other summer, its sun-drunken residents gather together in the countryside and burn a cumulonimbus cloud to the ground.
	MISUSCHAQUA	The Sword of Chevr

Linux ip tricks

# call like 'getips <INTERFACE> <FAMILY>'
# e.g. 'getips eth0 inet' might return 192.168.1.1/24
# e.g. 'getips eth0 inet6' might return fe80::4008:c2ff:fee8:fc93/64
# Note that this will retur all IPs of the family assigned to the interface - possibly more than one
getips() {
    if test $# != 2; then

Converting timezones from Windows to IANA and back in Python

Spoiler alert: I couldn't end up doing this, jesus christ timezones are such a mess

General notes

There are many mappings between timezones.

Obviously I could maintain one myself, but it's sufficiently complex that I don't want to take this on
Unicode maintains a mapping of Windows to IANA zones, but it only has entryes for standard timezone names ("Pacific Standard Time") and not DST timezone names ("Pacific Daylight Time"): https://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/supplemental/windowsZones.xml

	If the tree is large, this command will take a long time. If you're working in a Git repository of a project directory, it might be worth running 'git clean -fxd' beforehand. This will delete all your bin/ and obj/ directories (meaning any binaries you have built will be deleted), but will make this command run faster.
	.parameter filePattern
	Look for files whose name matches this pattern. By default, only look for *.Octopus.config files.
