v86 — an x86 virtual machine capable of running Linux and other OS directly into the browser. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

> As a thought experiment, we're almost there! We could technically have `win95.img + bochs86vm.wasm + autorun.inf + msword.exe` wrapped in a "browser evaluator" I looked into this and... Holy crap! We are there. Not for modern programs quite yet, sure, but this is amazing. You can use Windows 2000 from your browser. https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows2000. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I think you are looking for Shadow. https://shadow.goose.icu Or just the whole kitchen sink. Why not? http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=windows98. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

It's great that someone is trying to preserve these operating systems. However the choice of limiting it to 1 user per OS at a time makes the museum/website unusable. I tried several times over the span of 20 minutes and couldn't get into a single VM. While it doesn't cover everything, there is no shortage of browser-based emulators that can run most of the software listed. Windows 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Nuitka is actively maintained and support for 2.6 and 2.7. It is the work of a single guy, and I have never used it, so I don't know much about it. https://nuitka.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

This is a good place to mention https://nuitka.net/ which aims to compile python programs into standalone binaries. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

For Python, you could make a proper deployment binary using Nuitka (in standalone mode – avoid onefile mode for this). I'm not pretending it's as easy as building a Go executable: you may have to do some manual hacking for more unusual unusual packages, and I don't think you can cross compile. I think a key element you're getting at is that Go executables have very few dependencies on OS packages, but with Python... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

There is already an AOT compiler for Python: Nuitka[0]. But I don't think it's much faster. And then there is mypyc[1] which uses mypy's static type annotations but is only slightly faster. And various other compilers like Numba and Cython that work with specialized dialects of Python to achieve better results, but then it's not quite Python anymore.
