I spin up and delete multiple VMs every day for testing various things. UTM is an awesome macOS VM hypervisor, and I recently learned they have a command line interface.

I wrote a convenience script to very quickly clone a template VM of any OS and have it running in a matter of seconds, so I wanted to share it here: https://bigmacadmin.wordpress.com/2024/01/09/spinupvm-sh-a-convenience-script-to-quickly-spin-up-a-macos-test-vm-in-utm/

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣4️⃣: Black and white

(Just about caught up!) 😅

I guess I’m either being too literal or too cheeky with this map, but here we have a two-part image showing the Black Sea (colored in black with land areas in white) and the White Sea (colored in white with land areas in black) both drawn to the same scale (i.e., #UTM zone 37N).

All geographic data (coastlines, lakes, cities) come from #NaturalEarth’s 1:10m vectors, rendered in #QGIS , and combined in #GIMP.

Are there any #Linux distributions with #Speakup in them that work on the new #mac machines in #vmare or #utm? I tried #debian 12 and under this distro Speakup froze up at random intervals and locked up the vm. I am starting to think that two different physical machines may be the best for me. #arm64 with #accessibility features doesn't seem to be stable enough yet for prime time.

Linux on an ARM-based Mac, when?

Running Arch Linux ARM (!) on my x86 MacBook Air with UTM. Works just fine out of the box. I'm fascinated!

That's after I ran the exact same image on my M1 MacBook Pro with UTM, which is indeed an ARM platform.

If I hadn;t been paying attention closely, I'd never be able to tell the difference.
