I'll switch to acme-client.
btw, if you have hardware which is capable of running amd64, that would be my first recommendation. i386 dropped a lot of packages since 7.6 due, partly due to this with rust, partly due to upstreams of various ports no longer considering 32-bit archs. This situation is not expected to improve. also, i386 misses many of the protections that are available in OpenBSD on 64-bit archs, and often suffers performance-wise due to the very limited number of CPU registers. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
