Lume – OS lightweight CLI for MacOS and Linux VMs on Apple Silicon▲309
We just open-sourced Lume - a tool we built after hitting walls with existing virtualization options on Apple Silicon. No GUI, no complex stacks - just a single binary that lets you spin up macOS or Linux VMs via CLI or API. Why we built Lume: - Run native macOS VMs in 1 command, using Apple Virtualization.Framework: `lume run macos-sequoia-vanilla:latest` - Prebuilt images on https://ghcr.io/trycua (macOS, Ubuntu on ARM) - API server to manage VMs programmatically `POST /lume/vms` - A python SDK on github.com/trycua/pylume Run prebuilt macOS images in just…

Lume 0.2 – Build and Run macOS VMs with unattended setup▲154
Hey HN, Lume is an open-source CLI for running macOS and Linux VMs on Apple Silicon. Since launch (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42908061), we've been using it to run AI agents in isolated macOS environments. We needed VMs that could set themselves up, so we built that.

Payme, a library and CLI to generate QR codes for SEPA payments▲38
I built this library and tool several years ago. Some event where I was a co-organizer needed pre-payment for the orders, and to make this easy without going the path of an online payment service, I sent automatic mails with payment QR codes included. The CLI also (by default) generates QR codes in the terminal, which I use often when an invoice needs to be paid: copy all necessary fields as CLI flags, generate the QR in the terminal, scan with the phone, double check everything and go! Maybe paying should not be this easy...
