this would break all encrypted messaging

That's not necessarily very easy. These certs would have to show up in public certificate transparancy logs for most browsers to accept them. If this happens on a government scale it would surely get noticed, though the question remains what you're left to do if the government forces it anyways...

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency section "Mandatory certificate transparency"

ZimaBoard 2 is a single-board server with Intel N150, dual SATA interfaces, and two 2.5 GbE LAN ports - Liliputing

Pretty sure he's confusing it with either SFP+ or SFP28.

OSFP is the current bleeding edge with 400Gb/s of bandwidth. The current primary use case for that is ISP networks or running datacenter scale computing. The going prices for a PCIE card seems to be about 2k and around 600 for a DAC-Cable alone... compared to this 200$ mini PC, OSPF is in a completely different customer segment.

Smallest modem I can put into bridge mode and feed into a router?

If by RJ45 you mean erhernet over standard 8P8C (i.e. RJ45) your looking for SFP-T modules. Can't connect that to your DSL line though since that's not Ethernet.

There do seem to exist G.fast sfp modules for dsl, but do note that sadly sfp module and router brand incompatibility is sadly a thing.

Related note: At our company we also had quite some issues getting some of these more special sfp modules working (e.g. XGS-PON), so ymmv with a dsl one.

(If you're looking for a device to plug sfp modules into, I can second MikroTik here. They're also great about accepting 3rd party SFPs)

Hyperspace: a p2p VPN solution that doesn't require a server

That doesn't match my experience with AUR at all. Usually it pulls a specific git revision and checks the hash. This also ensures that the build shouldn't suddenly fail to some extent.

Though it's entirely possible that it's not like this for all packages, though I find it kind of counterintuitive since your package manager wouldn't know when to perform an update in this case.

Cheapest router for 10Gbps internet

Zyxel AX7501 has one sfp+ 10G wan and one rj45 10G lan port. Should be around 350$ if you can buy it where you live. I work at an ISP am that's the device we're giving to our customers for 10G.

In general I don't think you'll get much lower than that even if you build your own router.
