I made our #PVYlima Desktop capable to run #FreeBSD 15 native on macOS. With Stats and PIDs and Shared / Restricted Folder and all the fancy nice to have... I think, two or three more refinements and we gonna ship it for free... Can run Dockerhost, Can create KVM Images, Can Run Kubernetes even with Longhorn, or FREE BSD... a Distro which needs to be FREE... They need more resources. The Best ? Each VM is a declarative YAML File between 16 -64 Lines of Code. Share it over chat or git.

この三連休の成果。 Limaの VMを GUIで作って動かす macOSアプリを作りました。 macOS 26の vmnetを使って、NATもホストオンリーも LANへのブリッジも sudoなし。固定 IPも OKです。 HanaLima 🌺(非公式・MIT) izawa.github.io/HanaLima/

Shipped Kern v1.14.15 . It can now run locally on your machine 🎊 Building Kern, I realised most of my users are technical, and many already run their own bare metal. Paying AWS prices doesn't make sense. So now you can self host it with Lima VMs on macOS and Linux. Completely free, just follow readme at github.com/infiloop2/kern

Give coding agents a disposable VM—not your daily machine. Trail of Bits’ coop runs Claude Code or Codex inside per-project VMs: Firecracker microVMs on Linux, Lima on macOS. `coop up` syncs your project; profiles add dev tools, and stopped VMs can be checkpointed and restored. That makes risky repos, agent evals, and parallel work easier to contain. Treat the VM as the trust boundary—and read the egress model, not magic.

Je viens de découvrir Lima. Une VM qui s’installe sur le CLI et qui a automatiquement accès aux files de la machine physique. Elle ne consomme presque rien en espace comparée aux VM graphiques. C’est incroyable !

I do have to confess a bit here though...I was already capturing my traces from cc/oai as part of my local ai-infra project, so my @TheLimaProject vm based @kubernetesio cluster with @opentelemetry & @langfuse was already running, but I had intentionally waited for the meetup to get @cursor_ai wired up to it

Arigatou Gozaimasu, Japan! 🇯🇵 What an incredibly rewarding experience it has been here in Yokohama. Yesterday, I had the fantastic opportunity to give my talk! Me and @_AkihiroSuda_ also staffed the @TheLimaProject project table today. Cheers to open source!

One command line tool that now boots Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows virtual machines. Lima v2.2 adds Windows guest support and TPM 2.0 emulation. cncf.io/blog/2026/07/28/lima… #CloudNative #OpenSource

My new dev stack, use @TheLimaProject for linux vm, install @pidotdev , copy auth.json file, connect to vm through @zeddotdev remote ssh, open 2-3 terminal panes. Safe sandbox, good IDE and great harness.

Solved the permission fatigue from Claude by running it with dangerously-skip-permissions inside a VM that only has access to the host code directory. claudevm() { limactl shell --workdir "$PWD" default -- claude --dangerously-skip-permissions "$@" }

Running agents remotely, accessing them from anywhere. Not ideal, but it works. Optimize later. iPhone [→ WireGuard] → iSH → ssh Mac Mini → limactl shell → tmux attach → codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox

Oye chicos, que lo de levantar una red virtual 5G en "segundos" lo mismo va a ser en "minutos"... Pero levantarse, se levanta antes del lunes. unuko.com/

No conocía Lima y me está encantando. Muy ligero, muy rápido y levant una VM con Ubuntu, MongoDB, Open5GS, and UERANSIM sin complicaciones en 2 minutos. gist.github.com/aperezl/9e07…
