I have tried on two separate installs of NetBSD 9.0_STABLE to install
Hexchat and they both failed with the same error:
* Connection failed (unable to get local issuer certificate.? (20))
I tried irssi too and got a similar message.
Hexchat works for me with FreeBSD, Ubuntu, & even Windows 10.

Don't know if anyone is interested, but take a look at:

I found this on a website I have visited a lot over the last few years:
https://distrowatch.com/
And I know folks may not be interested in giving out free information, but
I'm one of the five listed there for NetBSD.

My biggest issue with installing NetBSD, or any other BSD, has been with my
own understanding (or misunderstanding) of partition tables, and MBR vs
GPT. The second biggest issue is the BIOS & the age of the computer.
UEFI uses the GPT partition table and is the so called "modern way", mainly
