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.
Or just the whole kitchen sink. Why not?

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
It's possible to try it on a web browser thanks to the Virtual x86 project: https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=kolibrios
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.

Running Windows 98 on the Browser
Oh, there are more OSes one can use at the parent page:
My highlights:
- First version of Windows (1.01)
- SerenityOS <3
- and even ReactOS

Should Ethereum be okay with enshrining more things in the protocol?
If Ethereum was a website, it would be running an x86 VM (such as [1]), running a custom web browser and database engine, to display mostly static websites and the occasional comments section under a blog post.
As an engineer I'm 10% fascinated and 90% horrified by the sheer complexity.

I build an online emulation platform with cloud saving and cross-device support. Would love some feedback.
This seems like the best idea look up www.boxedwine.org and if you want a port of it to Xbox dev mode please comment on this https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/issues/5 saying I would like a port for Xbox too please or by simply liking the post to show interest! If you can code or think you can help the devs in any way let them know

Boxedwine is an emulator that can run windows applications in the browser
Its not actually emulating a real linux kernel. It implements its own "kernel": https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/tree/master/source/kern...
