What if the future of the web borrowed ideas from a decades-old operating system? 🌐

In this session, @progrium.bsky.social explores how Plan 9 from Bell Labs can be reimagined with Go and WebAssembly, bringing classic systems design into the browser.

make a system of primitives so powerful that it would be foolish not to reach for them by default

Announcing Wanix Elements! Now you can build virtual compute systems with just HTML. Some broad use cases:

- let people try your CLI before downloading
- build your own browser OS or dev env
- make old apps/games work on the web
- explore and play with plan 9 concepts

Link below.

Wanix — Wasm-native Unix sandboxing for the web
Run and interact with real Wasm and x86 programs sandboxed in the browser. No server. Inspired by Plan 9.

they trained millennials how to use computers too good and napster basically flattened an entire industry. I think that's why they don't even want you to touch your phone's file system now, they can't let kids become that powerful again

a wanix system tied to web auth to give you a persistent home directory backed by r2 in a linux vm in your browser

its cool when you're like "now i want an r2 bucket as a filesystem, served over 9p, over websocket, mounted as a filesystem on a webpage" and without wanting this before, you already have all the pieces built:

Other people have already posted about it here, but I have now released the Virtual OS Museum. Sorry for the issues with downloads before; the server I was hosting it on had a failing drive. I now have torrents and direct downloads from archive.org linked on the site

virtualosmuseum.org
The Virtual OS Museum
Over 1,700 pre-installed operating systems spanning 1948 to today, in a single Linux VM. Bundled QEMU, VirtualBox, and UTM. One-click launchers for Windows and Linux.

95% of programmers do not understand this and/or have stockholm syndrome with the mess.

you can SHOW THEM the nice pretty stack of fewer pieces and they're like "but where are the red blocks?"

⭐ New talk! Watch / read / visually skim here: andymatuschak.org/tat

Coding agents might help us finally break out of two cages: the app model, which traps computing in one-size-fits-all silos; and programming as a specialization, which has crowded out cultures of imagination and domain insight.
Apps and programming: two accidental tyrannies
On coding agents, malleable software, and the future of interface invention

Someone ported Mac OS X to the Nintendo Wii. “Since its launch in 2007, the Wii has seen several operating systems ported to it: Linux, NetBSD, and most-recently, Windows NT. Today, Mac OS X joins that list.” [bryankeller.github.io]

Apptron can of course be used for instant dev environments. Unlike Codespaces/CodeSandbox/Replit it's entirely open source and runs entirely in-browser. No cloud compute necessary, making it cost almost nothing to run!

Check out the final demo:
