A 116kb WASM of Blink that lets you run x86_64 Linux binaries in the browser
I'd love to integrate this into my desktop environment in the browser "OS" (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS). I already have v86 (https://github.com/copy/v86) for running general x86 iso/bin files and BoxedWine (http://www.boxedwine.org/) for 16/32 bit exe's. It would be cool to be able to drag and drop a Linux binary and just run it. I tried to do this with box86js (https://github.com/raoofha/box86js) but had little luck. Although as a non-Linux user, I am not sure where to get good examples/tests of binaries.

WASI 0.2.0 and Why It Matters
> As a thought experiment, we're almost there! We could technically have `win95.img + bochs86vm.wasm + autorun.inf + msword.exe` wrapped in a "browser evaluator"
I looked into this and... holy crap! We are there. Not for modern programs quite yet, sure, but this is amazing. You can use Windows 2000 from your browser.

Is offline-first not enough? Do we need "serverfree"?
I think you are looking for Shadow.

Show HN: SQL Polyglot
Wonder if you could put all those databases in a Linux image and boot it using v86 [0], eliminating the need for a server.

Kolibri OS: fits on a floppy disk, programmed using interrupts
Trying it out in https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=kolibrios , it's also clearly a love letter to Windows 95 in particular. That could be an unstated goal here, create a very particular PC experience under very particular constraints. I don't know anything about the creator but it's very possible that this kind of work was actually their career in the 90s.
It's incredible how much work was done. Maybe this should be an internet curiosity like how TempleOS has become, though Terry's personality was a unique factor.

VMware is now part of Broadcom
hmm, why would people still use VMWare? Isn't vbox open source, or even things such as https://copy.sh/v86/ would do most virtualization trick now days?
