This week, I put a fully-functioning Linux in a website, running entirely in client-side Javascript! 🐧 https://linuxpuzzles.blinry.org 🐧 It's a prototype for making web-based command line tutorials. Compared to a game or tool you have to download, I hope they will be much more accessible. ✨

    There are some example puzzles on the site – but you can also make your own, using the "Customize this level" link at the bottom! It will generate a sharable URL like this: https://linuxpuzzles.blinry.org/?task=Unpack+the+archive%21+busybox+tar+doesn%27t+support+the+z+flag%2C+so+you%27ll+have+to+do+it+in+multiple+steps%21&setup=echo+FLAG+%3E+flag%0D%0Atar+cf+flag.tar+flag%0D%0Agzip+flag.tar%0D%0Arm+flag&tools=tar%2Cgunzip&searches=xkcd+1168

  • @blinry@chaos.social @b0rk@social.jvns.ca I was a bit surprised it loaded and ran on iOS Safari. Too bad there doesn't seem to be a way to open the keyboard and type into the terminal.

  • @blinry@chaos.social I have played this now. If I may offer 1(one) bit of criticism with the "game" as it is, the penultimate puzzle (the one with a git command) is a lot harder than the final one (with finding the pid of a process), so maybe switch the order around. Otherwise -- Neat little invention AND fun way to learn your sh commands!
