It looks like it's built on Rasbian with some binaries and systemd units, so it's not really a custom OS.

I didn't see that post, but if you control the DNS for a domain you can use the DNS challenge with Let's Encrypt.
The last news from IBM on HN about their quantum offering was that they had optimised the memory required for simulating quantum computers. 50-qubits seemed to the the upper limit before, but they managed to simulate a 56-qubit circuit. It was a good read: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.05867

They've had real hardware for a while, though, and they have 5-qubit and 16-qubit machines that anyone can try via IBM Q experience.

So this is 100% legit as far as I'm concerned.
