A few months ago, I stumbled upon [my first website ever](https://jakejarvis.github.io/my-first-website/) on an old floppy disk. Despite the instant cringing, I [uploaded it](https://github.com/jakejarvis/my-first-website) to GitHub, [collected other iterations](/previously/), and made an [#awesome-list](https://github.com/jakejarvis/awesome-first-code) of others who were brave and/or shameless enough to do the same. But why not take that ~~one~~ 1,000 steps further?
Introducing the [**Y2K Sandbox**](https://y2k.app/) — with fully-featured, fully-isolated, on-demand [**Windows Millennium Edition®**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaNDeyYP98A) virtual machines, simply to experience my first website in its natural Internet Explorer 5 habitat. And maybe play some [3D Pinball: Space Cadet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Tilt!_Pinball#3D_Pinball_for_Windows_%E2%80%93_Space_Cadet). Oh, and [Microsoft Bob](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Bob) is there too if you want to say hello and catch up. 🤓

The backend is powered by [**QEMU**](https://www.qemu.org/) (as a Pentium III emulator) inside isolated **Docker** containers, [**websocketd**](https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd) (an **_awesome_** lightweight WebSockets server written in Go), and [**Cloudflare Tunnels**](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/) (for some protection), all tied together with some [Ruby code](https://github.com/jakejarvis/y2k/blob/main/container/bin/boot.rb) and [shell scripts](https://github.com/jakejarvis/y2k/tree/main/host). ~~I'll push the backend scripts up to GitHub once I have a chance to untangle the spaghetti code. 🍝~~
