Brief update from previous: the website is now being hosted on FreeBSD 14.2 (RELEASE) and Nginx (1.26+), instead of NetBSD 10.1 and Caddy (v2.9.1). Here's the dmesg
Why make such a change? I finally got to test the network and hardware performance of my system against a worth opponent (thanks, Ben) and found the server lacking. FreeBSD has received a lot of Netflix contributions to directly improve x86_64 performance, so, it stands to reason that FreeBSD will do better and be a bit more consistent.
Don't get me wrong, I love NetBSD and found it very clean, simple, and fully understandable, but I went off the deep end with packages and had too many ongoing performance quirks to not spend the time upgrading and fixing it.
