AHAHA. Gotta have the digital blasphemy background for the late 90s vibe!

Is there a way to browse SSL websites on this version of IRIX?

Yup. We ported netsurf to IRIX a while ago which is a nice little browser that does SSL.

It's pretty skippy for a 20 year old machine. It's an octane 2 with a 400 Mhz processor.

Looks nice! My old Octane has been sitting in its box since I sold my ex-ex-ex house in 2017. I know Nekochan is gone, so what’s the go-to place for software these days, Irixnet?
