done.
yashodhanmohan··on Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Yep, used to use linuxify a few years back. But then it used to mess with my internal scripts. Anyhow, this was just a "what-if" exercise. Plus, Ubuntu was a test OS, but CentOS/RHEL were real PITA on client systems and this gives me a quick way out from spinning up a VM while still maintaining control. But agreed, if I just wanted GNU utils, I'd have just gone ahead with linuxify.

Anything that has a base Docker image available, this would work. RHEL, Debian, etc should work without much effort. I have not seen older OSX Docker images so probably not. Windows server does offer some base docker images.

Just to see if I can. Just a small weekend exercise. "Complexity" might be subjective though, but then again it looks simple to me because I made it, so I might be excessively biased.

Would love if Multipass could extend to other UNIX flavors as well.

I have used VM softwares before and would have preferred using them in all honesty. This was more of an exploratory "can I do this? if yes, how far can I take it?" exercise. I just wanted to see how much effort would it take if I just wanted to "simulate" stuff (turns out 4 measly scripts). Plus I already use Docker in my work. This helps me avoid installing the VM software separately.

This looks quite interesting! Much more elaborate in options I guess. Though the limitation to Ubuntu is something they should look into expanding. Does it also allow me to persist state?
yashodhanmohan··on Google suspended our domain out of the blue – lyearn[.]com
tldr; Google screwed us big time.

None of our apps are working. Google Domains abused locked and suspended our domain lyearn[.]com. There were no warnings. Support team is doing nothing and of no help. They're not allowing any access to our domain. We can neither transfer registration nor delete and register from elsewhere.

No incoming emails can come(since DNS lookup fails), so customers also cannot contact us.
