I'm posting this a little early to see if I can get some additional user/developer feedback. I started this a few months back as a "let's see what I can do with AI" type of project, and it's finally gotten to the point where it's useful, so I wanted to get it out there for comments while I work on some other ideas I've got in mind.

Yes, this was heavily "vibe-coded", but I've also got 15 years of experience working on Python dev tooling, so I had some very specific ideas in mind for how this should work, and I've spent a fair amount of effort guiding the development to where I wanted it to go.

OpenVMS on x86 4 years ago

ah, a fellow tape monkey. Our "white room" had collected 25 years of old hardware and manuals back in the 90s. I loved trawling through it all. Best job ever.

I had something similiar -- Got so far ahead of the other students in 5th grade math that I got tossed into a computer lab with a bunch of original IBM PCs and several years backlog of PC Magazine and Byte to read through. I learned so much from those years.

Try a chromebook -- I'm typing this on a Acer Chromebook R13. Has a nice, bright, Full HD IPS touch screen, 4 GB of memory, and a 4-core ARM64 cpu (2 A72, 2 A53). I'm got a terminal window open running rust builds locally in an Ubuntu installation via crouton. I picked this one up refurb for $320.

Another Stuy Town dweller here. It's also a pretty good options for those of us with families. We have a nice park with play area outside our door. It's fairly quiet. And don't forget free heat, water, and electricity!
