"Show HN" is reserved for usable stuff not content:

The page links to code (https://github.com/ianmiell/shutit-criu), so I assume it's something people can try running for themselves?

Yes they can:

    pip install shutit
    git clone --recursive https://github.com/ianmiell/shutit-criu
    cd shutit-criu
    ./run.sh

Yes, I was as surprised as you, but it was the mods that got in touch with me to add 'Show HN' to the title.

If you want skip to the demo:
