   @jirka a bit late, but I mailed you a fix to compile old c plus tcl/tk software on 8.6.

     @jirka Also, I forgot:

     http://portal.mozz.us has Gopher and Gemini proxies
     for http, it might work under your old browsers
     for Irix.

     And, well, Gemini itself has an http/https decrapifier
     for the web, saving up tons of bandwidth:

     gemini://gemi.dev/waffle.cgi

     An example: Ars Tecnica being open under gemini://gemi.dev
     opened under portal.mozz.us.

     @jirka Did it work under the browsers for SGI?

     @jirka now you have new material to post at the SDF phlog.

     @anthk If I pass the link in the format you used to the ArsTechnica, then it works well. It even preserves non-English encoding (!) At least for the Czech language (the IRIX has no UTF so this is a rather nice surprise).

     @jirka These libre/open tools might work under TCL/Tk
     for Irix:

     ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl//mirror/ftp.procplace.com/alcatel/code/

     @jirka Thanks for using the NanoNote, BTW; I used to have
     a zipit z2 but it died. Now I will try Nanomaps under Hyperbola GNU/Linux,
     as I still have qt4 on the repos.

     @jirka
     Oh, I forgot. BearSSL it's pretty portable
     it will build under GNU/Linux 2.4 based distros
     such as Damn Small Linux.
     Thus, it might compile under SGI Irix.
     libTLS running on top of BearSSL:

     https://github.com/michaelforney/libtls-bearssl

     I've got it working under DSL. If it works
     under Irix, you might compile hurl too:

     git://codemadness.org/hurl

     After that, you would be able to plug https audio streams into
     mpg123 or ogg123, such as AnonRadio from SDF:

     hurl https://anonradio.net:8443/anonradio | mpg123 -

     @jirka wasn't irix 6.5 recent enough?

     @anthk The mpg123 works, I think (I gave been using the XMMS for ages abx yes, Anonradio works well this way). Porting to IRIX is not that easy (Linux or 2.4 era is easy too much modern). I think someone tried the BearSSL already (must check how it ended).

     @jirka there's gcc 3.4 at least; irixnet has modern ports

     @anthk It is the latest but technologically it is deep in early 1990s. So compatibility with moderns standards (even for the C) is quite problematic.
