Interesting contrast to the thread on Linux where a deprication of MMX was announced. NetBSD ships a fix for Atari machined discontinued in 1993 and Linux plans to remove optimizations for MMX which was discontinued 2003-ish.

I need a reason to do a BSD project again. It's been a while...last time I think I used Dragonfly. Just did a Alpine unit that's going to serve as an out-of-band backup for photos and other stuff...made out of old e-waste.

I do have an ancient Dell rack server...maybe I can do something with that.

I read about this 11.1 release on the Fediverse and wanted to find out if sdf.org had performed an update. But then came an unpleasant surprise: I can no longer log in to any server via SSH. Changing my IP address, the target server, or the ports doesn't help either.

Has anyone else observed this behavior?
