What if the future of the web borrowed ideas from a decades-old operating system? 🌐 In this session, @progrium.bsky.social explores how Plan 9 from Bell Labs can be reimagined with Go and WebAssembly, bringing classic systems design into the browser. 🎟️ gophercon.com #GopherConOrBust #golang

Announcing Wanix Elements! Now you can build virtual compute systems with just HTML. Some broad use cases: - let people try your CLI before downloading - build your own browser OS or dev env - make old apps/games work on the web - explore and play with plan 9 concepts Link below.

they trained millennials how to use computers too good and napster basically flattened an entire industry. I think that's why they don't even want you to touch your phone's file system now, they can't let kids become that powerful again

its cool when you're like "now i want an r2 bucket as a filesystem, served over 9p, over websocket, mounted as a filesystem on a webpage" and without wanting this before, you already have all the pieces built:

Other people have already posted about it here, but I have now released the Virtual OS Museum. Sorry for the issues with downloads before; the server I was hosting it on had a failing drive. I now have torrents and direct downloads from archive.org linked on the site virtualosmuseum.org

Apptron can of course be used for instant dev environments. Unlike Codespaces/CodeSandbox/Replit it's entirely open source and runs entirely in-browser. No cloud compute necessary, making it cost almost nothing to run! Check out the final demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRAQ...

This is a big one. Apptron also lets you embed Linux software on **any web page**. Great for software playgrounds, demos, etc. No separate Wasm toolchain like emscripten necessary! Check out the demo (pls like): www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGOH...
