Surprise! We've been running on hardware provided by BuyVM for a few months and wanted to show them a little appreciation.
Running a paste site comes with unique challenges, ones that aren't always obvious and hard to control. As such, BuyVM offered us a home where we could worry less about the hosting side of things and focus on maintaining a clean and useful service! Go check them out and show them some love!

commit 0fd8c42ad92a83c65450575e348c737917e8210a

    ath10k: fix some RAW Tx encap mode cases
    
    A-MSDU must be disabled for RAW Tx encap mode to
    perform well when heavy traffic is applied.
    
    Also key handling was a bit buggy and was:
     - spamming dmesg with -95 warnings
     - prevented AP WEP from working
    
    As a solution return a 1 when using software
    crypto early in set_key(), and adjust all
    install_key() call sites to treat 1 as non-fatal
    retval.
