  • Lyra Rebane's x86CSS Emulates a Simple Intel x86 Computer In-Browser — Using Only CSS

    Developer Lyra Rebane has created an emulator for a basic Intel x86-based computer with a difference: it runs in-browser and was written entirely using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

    "x86CSS is a working CSS-only x86 CPU/emulator/computer. Yes, the Cascading Style Sheets CSS. No JavaScript required," Rebane explains of the project. "There is a script tag on this site, which is there to provide a clock to the CSS — but this is only there to make the entire thing a bit faster and more stable. The CSS also has a [JavaScript]-less clock implementation, so if you disable scripts on this site, it will still run. JavaScript is not required. This entire CPU runs in just CSS and doesn't require any HTML code, but there is no way to load the CSS without a <style> tag, so that much is required."

  • No, that's not me!

    Sometimes I look at the number of posts I'm writing about Administration and I think to myself: That's not me! That's not who I want to be. That's not what I want my friends and family to see when they look at my website.

    And yet. And yet, it seems like forever following me. I just ordered a new server somewhere in Germany so I can move my stuff there. The current one doesn't have enough disk space, I feel. And administration issues are just so … bloggable? The blog as a lab notebook where I write down the stuff I see, the conclusions I draw, the measures I take, the failures I suffer, the new attempts I make. It's the documentation of my struggle.
