Patching GCC to Build Portable Executables
> Consider offering APE for x64 but then still producing ARM binaries the old fashioned way.
The recent version of cosmopolitan generates ARM binaries for Linux and MacOS (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan#arm; mode aarch64). There is also blink that provides the x86-64 emulation layer for (APE and other) binaries on a variety of platforms (https://github.com/jart/blink).

Blink 1.0
Would love a second pair of eyes on the powerpc64le JIT, since it partially works but hangs on some tests. https://github.com/jart/blink/issues/17

Searchable Linux Syscall Table for x86 and x86_64
I've never used it, but https://github.com/jart/blink is pretty much that. It's tiny and:
> We regularly test that Blink is able run x86-64-linux binaries on the following platforms:
> Linux (x86, ARM, RISC-V, MIPS, PowerPC, s390x)
> macOS (x86, ARM)
> FreeBSD
> OpenBSD
> Cygwin

Blink virtual machine now supports running GUI programs
I wonder if blink could be used as a lightweight sandbox. Looking at PR46[0], it seems sandboxing is not one of the current features, but it would be cool to have a way to run arbitrary code (e.g: Python) in a sandboxed environment. Even cooler if you could limit the amount of memory/CPU used.

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.

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?

Running Windows 98 on the Browser
Oh, there are more OSes one can use at the parent page:
