Automate Project Environments with Devbox and Direnv
Very nice. I'll def. check it out.
I've created https://github.com/jrz/container-shell myself, which has a similar mindset, but is based on docker and is just a single bash script.

My VM is lighter (and safer) than your container
Not really, you'd still need a proper chroot / etc.

Lcl.host: fast, easy HTTPS in your local dev environment
Just use orbstack, it gives you https and hostnames.
Shameless plug: https://github.com/jrz/container-shell in combination with orbstack. Isolated dev environment, easy to use, local tools, https

Over 100k Infected Repos Found on GitHub
Check out https://github.com/jrz/container-shell it is one of the use cases. Not a VM but a docker container

Krunvm – Create MicroVMs from OCI Images
These specific microVMs are managed by: https://github.com/containers/libkrun#goals-and-non-goals (linked directly to project scopes).
In summary though (others redacted):
# Goals - Execute Docker Containers as QEMU MicroVMs

Show HN: krunvm – Create and run lightweight VMs from OCI images
The key is that libkrun (https://github.com/containers/libkrun), the library that krunvm uses for running the VMs, as recently integrated support for Hypervisor.framework on ARM64, in addition to KVM.
As for buildah, the Homebrew repo contains a build that includes this PR (https://github.com/containers/storage/pull/811).
