What's new?
No one here expressed interest in sharing this fine server when it was doing a great job running self-compiled FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT.
Now, NetBSD-current has been installed! 
To me, NetBSD-current seems really peaceful! In many ways!
NetBSD seems still very much the same, but steadily improved, from thirty-ish years ago when I first became an occasional NetBSD user. For quite a while, back in the old days, I ran NetBSD-current on IBM z50 laptops as well as on my x86 desktop.
Why NetBSD-current instead of a stable release?
Over the years, NetBSD-current seems stable and dependable. I have compiled NetBSD-current thousands of times. NetBSD-current just seems to work reliably.
I do remember once, my modem stopped working. I emailed the developer who had a recent commit. and got a fix in about twenty minutes. That fast reply was very helpful!
The few NetBSD developers I have met do seem especially interested in NetBSD-current. So, if I want to ask a question, the NetBSD-current context might help my question pique developer interest.
Of course, I'm certainly not a NetBSD expert. I'm more of a clueless™ user. So I do have many questions to ask!
Besides being peaceful, versatile, and well supported, NetBSD also is lots of fun!
I think I might stay with NetBSD for a while, and also stay with this nice QuickPacket server,
If you want to share NetBSD and this nice server with me, please feel free to post here!
Best wishes!
Tom

Anyone want to try guessing the commands in "tour"?

The moment you mentioned BSD, you don't need to describe the age or how long ago you started. That name a lone is sticked to oldies. Sounds like many of us are still active despite the age and new era.
BSD is still lovely and stable regardless of adaptation rate worldwide.
Out of curiosity, why NetBSD rather than OpenBSD?
Was thinking same. Isn't OpenBsd most secure? I have 2 VPs running OpenBsd
