I tried nomadnet, but the UI it's still really. Not because it's a TUI, 
I've used several better interfaces in terminals, but the tool it's slow,
no one respects an 80x25 interface (not even a 100x40 one), making them
useless on older systems where the *readable* font for a terminal
emulator must be apt to fit under 100 columns or less.
Also, people seems to abuse the Nerd font, one of the shittiest 
creations ever among webdings and windings under Windows.
Where's Unicode then? GNU Unifont  will work everywhere.
Also, the CPU usage, it might be related due to a lacking PyCA under
i686 OpenBSD machines.

Overall, it could be better with a bit of polishment (and maybe
a further port to Golang).
