Modern web needs like 100MB just to say "Hello World".

@vito join my IRC and I'd love to talk ❤️✨ https://gopher.someodd.zip/services/irc.md

@someodd I should try port this to SPARCv8 assembly for Solaris

[someodd@fosstodon.org]

@freya Please do!

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@someodd guessing that means it won't run on my AT&T 6300 (8086)?
shittiest x86 hardware i can find in my collection is that or an NEC V20 (8088 compatible) in a tandy 1400LT

[freya@chaosfem.tw]

@someodd Solaris SPARC is kinda my special interest.

She says, running modern Wordpress on Solaris 10 on SPARC, with PHP 8.5 and Nginx 1.28 and MariaDB 11.8.5

[someodd@fosstodon.org]

@wyatt You got me there! I'd love to see it running on one of the x86 devices you mentioned. But of course, it'd need to run linux 1.x or whatever.

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@someodd it can run ELKS with no MMU
or minix probably

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@someodd linux mainline never supported older than 80836 to my knowledge, the mailing list post torvalds announced it in said the minimum was a 386, which is what he had at the time

[mast0d0nphan@beige.party]

@someodd Hmm, should I go with my current server build or GASM?

[someodd@fosstodon.org]

@mast0d0nphan it would rule if you tried gasm. I have an IRC for support. I also have another more feature rich server written in Haskell called Venusia. https://GitHub.com/someodd/venusia

[someodd@fosstodon.org]

@wyatt would you mind joining my IRC in a journey to document it running on something old?

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@someodd remind me tomorrow and maybe. I could run it on a 486 or pentium or something possibly.

[someodd@fosstodon.org]

@wyatt awesome, thank you

@wyatt

You have a 1400LT???? 🙀 With the dual 720 k floppy drives.

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@HopelessDemigod i have most of the parts of it. i wish i still had the entire thing but i have enough to power the board, i have the keyboard, and i have the floppy drives

[hopelessdemigod@mstdn.social]

@wyatt

I regret selling mine when I was younger. I used to login to BBS’s with an external Zoom 14.4 modem. The two floppies worked well.

A was DOS 5 (The parts I needed)

B was Telix, Stereo Shell, List and QE (Text Editor)

[wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe]

@HopelessDemigod if i still had the full thing it'd be yours for the taking :)

[hopelessdemigod@mstdn.social]

@wyatt

👍

[kpwn@infosec.exchange]

@someodd @mast0d0nphan I assume, you missed the "or GASM" joke 😄

[k@layer8.space]

@someodd hell... One could even run that in a container or vm for """added security""" and still be WAY under 100 megs :D
