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

@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

@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

@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

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

@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)

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

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

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