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.

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.
Re:TinyWM – A tiny window manager in around 50 lines of C

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.

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.

Re:OpenBSD 6.3 released

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.

I'm using spotify through mopidy & mopidy-spotify, i can use ncmpcpp to play playlists and search spotify just like a local MPD server with a lot of music, it's excellent.
