The problem you're going to have with IRC servers is most of them are based on ircd 2.8. The original sources out of the University of Oulu were also GPL'd so its decendents are as well. -Daniel

Re: Which really small, portable and lightweight system/device is usable running OpenBSD?
I'm using a HP Elitebook 2530p which is in size and weight comparable to the X61s. But I'm looking for a second very portable device after the retirement of my "smart" cellphone. So the GPD Pocket seems to be a good fit - if the OpenBSD support is ok. I can live with an external WLAN dongle. The suggested Microsoft Surface Go seems to be interesting, too. Even it is larger than the GPD.

Non-copyleft IRC servers
Does anyone have recommendations for a maintained IRC server that doesn't have a copyleft license? There are only a few listed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_daemons, and they don't seem to be maintained. Any runtime is fine, but I'm partial to C, and DCC support would be nice but isn't a hard requirement. Thanks, Eric

I still have not found a reason to upgrade from my Thinkpad X61s, which has the added benefit of having a 4:3 aspect ratio screen too I get about 5hrs battery life under normal use, which for me is work in the terminal and light browsing It really depends on how small and lightweight you want, as I believe the GPD Pocket works apart from sound, suspend, wireless, and a couple of other minor bits leaversmith.com/privacy

Have to use an external wifi adapter, but most everything else works just fine. It's a little on the slow side, but it does well enough for daily computing.

I know there is a great deal of information on these options in the man page for mount but this is helpful. Ken
wifi manager
I've just uploaded what I feel to be a completed gui wifi manager to complement the base tools. https://sourceforge.net/projects/openbsd-wifi-manager/ Thanks, Edgar

Which really small, portable and lightweight system/device is usable running OpenBSD?
Hi! I'm looking for a really small portable OpenBSD-based system which meets the following requirements: - running OpenBSD with a current webbrowser (e. g. chromium), pidgin and mailclient - WLAN support Any suggestion? Kind regards Felix
