You can't, Facebook is the only way.

The page you linked to is not updated as often or as thoroughly. Errata ('Patches' link on the main page) is the page you want. Sorry for the confusion.

That's for previous release. Look at the current errata:

In places where -current is not an option, look into M:Tier binpatches and their `openup` utility:

Forgot to add, after you uncomment the subpixel stuff, just do a `make && sudo make install && make clean` from the `xenocara/lib/freetype` directory.
Also, repeat the same after each snapshot upgrade, as the X sets will overwrite it every time, naturally. Don't forget to keep it updated as well, with `cvs up`.

Also, there are some nice fanless Mini-ITX boards out there with dual gigabit, which is all you need (plus a case for a board and a switch, of course).
M350 enclosure is popular and cheap.
It goes without saying such box will smoke anything you can buy of-the-shelf. Hell, even the anemic ALIX Geode gave a nice boost to my home network over the crappy Linksys I had previously (things are now snappy and 100% stable).

Soekris now has new models with Intel Atoms, top quality stuff as always (old ones are rock solid too, if a bit dated). I went with ALIX instead as I had a local distributor so it was quite a bit cheaper. Plenty fast for now, too.

The fonts are looking nice and sharp for me:

I fetch freetype via CVS from xenocara tree:
cvs co xenocara/lib/freetype

And use the following `~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf`:

You might also want to delete `/etc/fonts/conf.d/30-lucida-aliases.conf`.

Packets already flowing through 5.4 -release on my 'lil ALIX home router. Workstation on -current, of course.
There is nothing quite like OpenBSD out there. Thank you OpenBSD developers!

OpenBSD on either Soekris or ALIX and you are done.

Sorry, we crossed paths, by the time I deleted the original yours was already posted.
Glad to hear you like the idea. It was an eureka moment for me :)

Automation is great. However, it takes a lot of code to do it right. A lot of code brings complexity, edge cases and bugs.
I decided to follow KISS principle and provide managed personal service where I can remember people by name.
The service has nothing to do with being a CDN. It is a place where you can host your static sites, set them up and basically forget about them.
Minimal base system, OpenBSD, PF and nginx are there to keep things simple, network invisible and noise free.
Basically a niche service for technical folks and people who like things simple, minimal and stable.

Author here. Let me know if you have any questions.

I even started sending personal mail via Postmark SMTP to further decentralize. Having no minimum and using a concept of pre-paid credits is genius. Since I send very small amounts of mail, even the free quota will last me a loong time. I feel like I am abusing/taking advantage of the service in this way :)

Sometimes we don't realize things. I was using Vim before. I loved it, tweaking it all the time, thinking it helped me to achieve various things faster etc.
When I switched to nvi I realized how wrong I was. My .nexrc contains less than ten lines. There is no syntax highlighting. I was also forced to learn real vi properly. When you do such things amazing things happen.
sramov | 14 years ago | on: Steve Losh's .vimrc
My point was, time better spent is coding, not dicking around (and relying) on .vimrc.
We often forgot about the essence of things such as typing the actual code or words, and focus on tools. Better investment is learning how to properly type than having countless little helpers which are nothing more than debt.
Increasing complexity in all areas of life really is troublesome.
