    One way to approach this would be to use QEMU binary translation, but it would probably ruin any performance benefits.

    When I developed this I was very much thinking of using this to run one-off compute heavy tasks, e.g. compressing a video, running scientific computations or rendering something in…

    I love this idea! I've never played Dwarf Fortress, but I just tested it on a fresh vps by setting [SOUND:NO] and [PRINT_MODE:TEXT] in df/data/init/init.txt and it seems to work fi…

    They are indeed bind-mounted separately in the chroot on top of the local file system: https://github.com/Overv/outrun/blob/1e86c429c60022421de68f2...

    Ray tracing demo based on Minecraft

    I've wanted to write a ray tracer accelerated by the GPU for a while, but I wanted to make it a bit more interesting than procedurally generated meshes, so I thought about doing it…
