Yes this is real!! its powered by the v86 project which is a super awesome x86 -> wasm virtualizer thing!

in reply to @mintexists's post:
hahaha this is ridiculous, so seems like I should be able to ship docker containers as cohost posts eventually?
edit: think my favorite bit about this is that I'm not even on an x86 platform right now
Honestly yea you probably could do docker in a post. theres a v86 image for Arch but it looked hard to set up and i dont have the energy to do that rn
This is truly ridiculous, and not at all the sort of thing that should be on a social media site. I absolutely love it
need to access linux commands?
broke: use a vm
woke: cohost webdev crimes
i dont do programs but my partner does and he was fascinated by this and made me type things in to test it. and then i spent about 15 minutes telling him about css crimes on cohost and showing him some posts. all this to say i think by putting linux on cohost you convinced him to join the site
Im imagining an electron app in this thing would be funny. I might take a stab at that after my finals.
in theory you could get a whole graphical arch install running, I just didn't out in the effort to figure out how to build the disk for it to boot from and whatnot. The v86 demo page has an example tho :)
This is making me think of extremely cursed ideas, like "cobble this together to be able to run the x86 Flash plugin".
Honestly you could just use chiframes (what I used to make the embed) and Ruffle.rs to do it
