Unsure of your location, but it is likely that you can get your local public (!) library
to “ILL” (interlibrary loan) items … including journal items … for you. It’s not instant
access, but if you’re retired then this may be good enough.
even though I'm a long-time ACM (and IEEE)
member.
If you’re a *current* member of these societies then you should have good access to
journal content.
FWIW: the single item that I am the proudest of when I
was USENIX President was opening access to its entire library to everyone - members or
otherwise.
I have used this in the past, so thank you for being way ahead of your time.
