I agree with you that a cloud 2.0 architecture is needed. I don’t agree with you that you can’t run DOSBox in the cloud. You totally can. In fact, you can containerize a dosbox app and forward the output over websockets or tcp. I have files from 1990s and 2000s as well. I keep backups, as everyone should when dealing with cloud/internet/not-my-machine.
- api 4y agoI can run DOSBox in the cloud. What I can't do is run an old version of Google Docs, Salesforce, Notion, or Alexa. I can run old commercial software that I paid for in DOSBox or a VM because I have the software, even if it's just in binary form. I have the software and the environment and I can run it myself. That's the difference. The cloud is far more closed than closed-source commercial software. I can also run the software with privacy. When I run something locally there's nobody with back-end access that can monitor every single thing I do, steal my data, scan my data to feed into ad profile generators or sell to data brokers, etc.
