Which web browser do you use?
They only reason there hasn't really been a new release is bc they were changing the code base to Firefox. There is a test build here, info here, and the souce code here.

A browser for Windows XP based on Firefox 68
This is interesting because the author was originally requested to stop development by the Pale Moon team over a conflict. I checked today and discovered a new fork. It's exciting to see someone so dedicated to keeping a functional browser working under XP.
I can't find the original thread regarding the dispute, but it's referenced in a past readme:

Feodor2's plans on Mypal development
Found on https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal/issues/46. There've been a few similar messages about this on RuBoard, IIRC

How do you tip Fedor2?
Not sure, he never offered a way to donate. You could ask on his GitHub as he doesn't appear to use reddit. https://github.com/feodor2/mypal
- Mypal 68 is here!!!
- Quantum-based MyPal beta version is now available for download
- Good news! A certain Russian programmer who pissed off the PM team is about to step out of their shadow
- Comparison of Windows XP Browsers
- The developer of Mypal got Firefox Quantum (68-78) working on XP!

RIP Bill Jolitz (1957 – 2022), co-author of 386BSD
I'm 99% certain you could boot BSD from DOS back then too. 386BSD 1.0 contains a "boot.exe" which works with FreeDOS -as long as you don't load anything else!
https://github.com/386bsd/386bsd/tree/1.0
I think that FreeBSD 2.0 may have used the boot utility as well -but I'm not sure.
I remember when I encountered Linux in the late 90's there was a distro that sat on MS-DOS; I think it may have been "Monkey Linux" ( https://projectdevolve.tripod.com/table/descript.htm )? It wasn't Slackware -but I pretty quickly found slackware and began using "zipslack" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZipSlack) before diving in and doing a real Linux install.
So by 97 or so Linux was figuring out more sophisticated ways to co-exist with DOS if not Windows95.
And yes, by the time XP was released Linux was popular enough that people didn't bother making kludges like that any more. It probably didn't help that vfat and fat32 were different than the old umsdos file system so that the drawbacks out-weighed the benefits.

SQLRite – SQLite clone from scratch in Rust
This is interesting. I think you'll soon find that the in-memory data structures provided by Rust's std::collections aren't going to work for you when you start thinking about on-disk storage of data.
One resource that is invaluable for learning about databases is the code to the original Berkeley DB
