🎙️ New Episode of Igalia Chats: Webhooks @bkardell.com and @meyerweb.com chat with @progrium.bsky.social about the history of, naming and thoughts behind the evangelism of Webhooks www.igalia.com/chats/webhooks

there are like infinite podcasts and yet not one has asked me to talk about 20 years of webhooks. oh well, lost knowledge

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. 🎟️ gophercon.com #GopherConOrBust #golang

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

testing new website. anything broken? wanix.dev

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

"We have the exact same briefcase."

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:

Opening titles of "Dealies", the new animated series by the creators of "Common Side Effects" and "Scavenger's Reign". Coming to Netflix in 2027.

feeling nostalgic for the 2013 indie scene

demo day and wanix updates youtu.be/dERJXONNofw

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

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?"

pretty easy now to write a program that exports a synthetic filesystem in wanix

this month is the 20th anniversary of webhooks. somebody throw a party

Do you like the music from Scrubbin' Trubble? Do you like me? The soundtrack is on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms. And today is Bandcamp Friday which means all your $upport goes directly to ME! hryx.bandcamp.com/album/scrubb...

⭐ 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.

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: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRAQ...

this year is the 20th anniversary of webhooks and my campaign to show the world what could be possible if you just fucking listen to me

This is a big one. Apptron also lets you embed Linux software on **any web page**. Great for software playgrounds, demos, etc. No separate Wasm toolchain like emscripten necessary! Check out the demo (pls like): www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGOH...

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

handy way to download ... anything

inside of you are two wolves but one wolf is very sad and one wolf is very tired

“Win32/linux”: loss32.org

apptron is the only pure browser environment to run the complete go toolchain, capable of cross compiling to over 40 platforms

peep and/or like youtu.be/JbXcS0BpFB8?...

just for fun, with apptron you can jump into linux in the browser, boot up stock apache, get a public endpoint, and browse to the default page... served from the apache running in the other tab!

I put together a detailed collection of useful patterns I've collected after vibe-coding 150 different single-file HTML tools over the past couple of years https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/10/html-tools/

What would be possible if you could run Linux and Linux software in the browser?

Do you use separate email apps for work, home, school, etc? Do you copy and paste email addresses all day into your CRM, help desk software, or internal admin? Do you dread clicking on a mailto: link?
