today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996

A colorful retro computer setup featuring a purple keyboard, a small teal touchpad, and a teal circular CD-ROM drive with a matching keypad-style controller resting on top. The hardware is arranged against a dark background in a vivid purple-and-turquoise color scheme.

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

a wanix system tied to web auth to give you a persistent home directory backed by r2 in a linux vm in your browser

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

⭐ New talk! Watch / read / visually skim here: andymatuschak.org/tat Coding agents might help us finally break out of two cages: the app model, which traps computing in one-size-fits-all silos; and programming as a specialization, which has crowded out cultures of imagination and domain insight.

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...

You can use almost any static site generator in the browser on Apptron, including this one I made. Was it built for Wasm? Nope... Linux. Check out part 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH0q...

Apptron is now the quickest way I know to make static websites. It's also the only static site host that makes your site work offline by default. Check out the demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PTR...
