Intel 7260 comes in mini PCI form and is readily available if you feel like replacing the card. Works fine with iwm(4).

I tried manually building grub with the patch but gave up and just created an ext2 /boot partition, but this is good news! Thank-you for fixing it.

I've been using zstd compression on btrfs for a while now and it's excellent, most of my stuff is already compressed (movies, music) but my home directory (which is mostly comprised of text files) has shrunk greatly.

Should setup DKIM for better deliverability

I switched from nginx to HAProxy for my internal reverse-proxying needs and it is excellent, the configuration is a bit more verbose but it handles every app (including WebSockets, weird RPC, cookies etc) with ease.

If you need more convincing to try OpenBSD, these interviews are nice https://www.bsdjobs.com/people and similar to usesthis.com.

I use a mix of wmutils[0] and windowchef[1] and they're great, lots of little programs (some < 10 LoC) but also some cool stuff like mouse support and borders etc. I've only ever had trouble with JAVA apps which is a simple fix (_JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1)

This is a screenshot of my Linux desktop [2], I use these on OpenBSD as well without too much issue.

Is this not the plot of Neuromancer?

A nice introduction to BGP is Peter Hessler's BGP-spamd (https://bgp-spamd.net), which is a creative use of BGP for sync'ing lists of blacklisted mail servers.

I've got an OpenBSD router setup on an APU2 (https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2c4.htm). It's running dhcpd, unbound, dnscrypt-proxy, openvpn server and an openvpn client and the load averages are pretty low. Haven't bench-marked throughput properly yet as I'm still configuring PF properly.

I used these [0][1] repos as a starting point, I wrote a few helpers to update dynamic dns and a DNS ad blocklist for unbound. This replaced a pfSense install and I'm happy with it so far.
