Is there any doc for optimizing nginx on openbsd server? for example, to get
better performance (QPS, throughput etc).
Thanks.

I just got a cheap USB WiFi adapter that I thought was a Realtek for
some reason, turned out to be Ralink. I was interested in small
because I want to mount it at the focal point of a TVRO satellite
dish. If I'd known it was Ralink I wouldn't have bought it.
So I plug it into my laptop running Ope
This should probably go to ports@ but I don't belong to that.
I'm running 5.2 as the latest, but 5.4 looks the same (has the same
setjmp patch). There was an old problem with xnecview under OpenBSD
that caused it to crash if you tried to use it on more than about 6
frequencies, but this is new si
Got it. Thanks. I burned a 5.2 install and used the ramdisk
/usr/mdec/installboot from that. I don't have 5.5 and it would take
weeks by modem to get it.

I wasn't too concerned until I discovered the machine wouldn't boot,
comes up to ERR M or something like that. I put a kernel and a copy
of boot in place from /usr/mdec but it still comes up and just says
loading then nothing. Do I need to do installboot?

Just wondering if anyone knows about tools for laptop battery repair
that might run under OpenBSD. The "smart batteries" have a
microprocessor that interfaces to the cells and talks to the cpu over
an smbus. ACPI talks to that bus, but it can't help with broken
batteries or replacing cells.

I'm just wordy, I'll get to it
I'm not sure how to look this up, and it doesn't seem to be in the FAQ.
I frequently add stuff that isn't in ports by building from sources.
Sometimes this real world stuff needs newer versions of other things
than what's in ports. But the port is already installed and has
things depending on it.
