You've been posting this for awhile can you tell me more about how this works?

Probably a slop of https://bellard.org/jslinux/ https://bellard.org/jslinux/

  This is a pretty harsh critique, while I see the agent related markdown the application seems measured and well applied. Hardly seems like slop; it's might be a one man show+ai agent but the direction and project composition feel like it's something that's logical and manageable. I personally like the idea even as a p.o.c (inline with bellards work). I'd like to see how nostr & cloudflare workers providing out of band ops on what is effectively a container per tab.

    I don't think that guesstimating that something is an AI slop is very harsh these days. It sure has the signs of one: - HN User created 66 days ago - In these 66 days it submitted 4 stories about this project - The heavy lifting is all done by v86 project (not jslinux as initially suspected) - The project is a "rebrand/fork" from another project by the same author - "traits.build". - In the original project, the first commits that mention v86 seem to start at around 23rd of April. To be clear, I don't really mind people vibing & slopping around. I just would want to have a disclosure about it.

      Show dead and you see 23 posts about this exact same thing which gives me pause and makes me wonder, did this guy really post this 23 times? Why? Or is there some program setup on a loop? Either way,a legit Linux shell in a browser would be kinda powerful and even if this one isn't legit, Im intrested in adjacent projects...for instance this may be the only way to get a shell in a usable shell on iphone which would be neat and useful

        i did. i am trying to get some traction on the project to hopefully collaborate on the development in the community.

      thank you for this interesting analysis. however, i do disclose that it's agentic coding in yolo mode on my github page.

    thank you!

  Have to agree. Unsure why the page is comparing with docker/cloud shell instead of jslinux/webvm.

thanks for your question. so, i was trying to build a posix scriptable operating system in a browser tab to be sandboxed but still capable of communicating within nodes. i build the posix-based agent claw that is integrated to allow agentic development on this edge and share the result over the nostr protocol with other users that have the system open in a tab. the tab is used as modern platform-agnostic abstraction because it even works on a mobile phone. the emulation allows to use the complete alpine linux repository for all the tools that one want to use in the system with or without agent. i experimented with tunnels and bridges that allow to open ports on the tab system and expose them to fixed ips and ports through my relays workers. i successfully connected ssh, sftp and https from internet to my browser tab, i experimented with syncthing with the idea of being able to automatically sync files between the browser tabs essentially a sandboxed file network between tabs on any platform.
