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?

Container2wasm: Convert Containers to WASM Blobs
Also: https://github.com/copy/v86 - more productized browser x86 runtime, used by eg https://github.com/snaplet/postgres-wasm
Similar project, but open-source: https://github.com/copy/v86

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.

WASM SQL database recommendations wanted
Not really, but I'm aware of absurd-sql. Note that this requires IndexedDB and thus a browser environment.
-
Best local database that works on all platforms including web?
I don't need SQL capabilities, so I didn't look into those options (there's also absurd-sql, which ports sqlite to the browser on top of IndexedDB).

SQLite WASM in the Browser Backed by the Origin Private File System
Ironically I was just about to drop in absurd-sql [1] to a project, which uses indexeddb to back SQLite. This seems better.

Postgres WASM by Snaplet and Supabase
Offline data: running it in the browser for an offline cache, similar to sql.js or absurd-sql.

We are very close to having WASM SQLite with persistence in the web platform. Until now SQLite compiled to WASM was in memory and you had to write the whole database out as a binary array to save changes. There is absurd-sql (https://github.com/jlongster/absurd-sql), which builds a virtual file system on top of IndexedDB for sqlite, its incredible, but a bit of an ugly hack.
However, the new file-access apis (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System...) that are landing in browsers will fix this. One of the things it does is enable very efficient block level read/write access to a privet sandboxed filesystem for the websites origin, perfect for persistent sqlite. There is more here: https://web.dev/file-system-access/#accessing-files-optimize...
