The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
The article provides an update on TinyKVM, an open-source project that was originally released in February. The author discusses expanding TinyKVM's capabilities beyond its original scope of pure computation to now support running unmodified executables, specifically mentioning runtimes like Deno, Python WSGI, and Lune. This enhancement makes TinyKVM more versatile and usable outside of specialized computational use cases. The update acknowledges contributions from community members like Laurence Rowe who championed KVM-related features.

· 5 pulledTinyKVM was open-sourced this february and since then I've been working on some things that are very much outside of the scope of the original implementation.
Originally, it was intended to be for pure computation (and that is very much still possible, and is the default), but makes it hard to use TinyKVM outside of specialized use-cases.
So, I've relented and implemented limited support for running unmodified executables in TinyKVM.
Specifically, run-times like Deno, Python WSGI and similar run-times like Lune.
I would like to make a special shout-out to Laurence Rowe who championed K
