Interesting it is running OpenBSD 7.8.

These old SPARCs are beloved by their developers for their ability to uncover obscure low-level bugs due to the platform's strictness.

Everyone else has adequately pointed out SPARC boxes basically ran the Internet back in the day. It wasn't uncommon to have a single box hosting an entire university department: email, web serving, application server, login shell, etc.

It’s also Theo’s favourite architecture, afaik he was mostly working on SPARC back on NetBSD before the fork. I’d expect it to well supported for a while longer, even if practically no one else uses it.

Calling strict alignment requirements "beloved" is a wide stretch. You had to split loops into Sparc and Ubsan, vs normal variants.
