I just released v0.0.4 of #httpDOS, a #TLS enabled #webserver for #MSDOS (source and binaries)

https://github.com/SuperIlu/httpDOS

I updated mbedTLS from v2.28.8 to v3.6.6

@freedosproject For any who don't know, #FreeDOS is awesome and entirely human created. And I've had great interactions with some of the developers, such as the very nice one who took the time to explain why I could not cache XTIDE into memory via JEMM (hopefully they add that feature).

Good people, if you have a retro pc it's worth a shot.

@millihertz FW: @freedosproject Want to explain this before I unfollow/mute you and never speak of #FreeDOS again?

NetHack 5.0.0 released a couple days ago, and I'm happy to report that it *still* supports MS-DOS(and #FreeDOS) quite nicely. https://www.nethack.org/v500/ports/download-msdos.html

When I was an undergrad physics student, I used emTeX on DOS to write my lab reports in #LaTeX

And yes, emTeX runs great under #FreeDOS 🤓

Here's a demo of how to write, process, and view a few sample emTeX documents:

I'm curious what the Fediverse would recommend as a resource for learning MS-DOS in 2026.

I have limited exposure to it having grown up mostly on Windows 9x, but I use a Linux CLI and these days, I always opt for Powershell in the rare cases where I use Windows because it supports Unix-like commands. As such, I'm very limited on what I know about using DOS.

I see some tutorials on Youtube, I'm just curious what y'all think.

On the other end of this spectrum, I'd like to add: There's nothing stopping anybody extending MS-DOS to 64-bits to create a new boot-to-DOS OS that new software can be written for. Like, we don't have to stick to MS-DOS compatibility ad-inifinium. There can be new DOSes, there can be new software for command-line text-mode interfaces that aren't 40 million lines of C, just a BIOS or UEFI abstraction that will run on literally any hardware in the last 35 years and continue to run [hopefully] for the next 35 years.
