Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

It's the future – you can stop using JPEGs
Would be interesting to see how all those jpegs fared if run though ECT (https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool). I’ve found it can save a surprising amount of space sometimes.

How to make the most out of my storage
Ah, I misunderstood you there, yes you can build it from source but there are also Windows binaries available on https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool/releases/

Possible support for new image formats
Did you think about adding support for newer image formats? Video shouldn't be a problem because you already support .mkv and AV1 works within it. How would implementation work? Does ES-DE use libraries from the OS and makes this support easier for that? My biggest gripe are those big .png files. I optimized them with ect but it won't be as good as newer formats can be.

OptiPNG vs. PNGcrush vs. Gimp to Reduce PNG Size
There are a myriad of PNG (and in general DEFLATE) optimizers and pingo hosts its own benchmark [1]. I believe ECT [2] is the only tool comparable to pingo in terms of compression ratio and speed. But pingo still lacks a license statement and it's even unclear whether you can use this for any purpose at all, probably because it is still "experimental", so if you don't like that you can try ECT instead.
> One thing I didn't check is that you might pay that in decoding time, I've never seen anybody talking about that though.
PNG and in general DEFLATE-based formats are mostly free from this concern because they are comparably simple. The maximum "overhead" you can intentionally trigger is a very large LZ77 window and a very deep Huffman tree; the former is however capped to 32 KB in DEFLATE, and the latter will mostly result in an inferior compression (a long prefix code means a larger file).

Friendly reminder for anyone making HD texture packs: run your PNGs through OptiPNG first.
I personally prefer ECT, since that gave me the best results when I tested it several years ago.

Best quality .png?
ECT is the new stuff that is much faster and more efficient than zofpli

Open source Image compression app? [Win10]
Efficient Compression Tool Basically the best FOSS for lossless compression for .png and .jpeg, although not the quickest.

image turned green after using cjxl(version 0.3.2) options were -q 100
I get the same issue. However, it seems that using ECT on the images fixes the issue: https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool

Browse Self-Hosted Software
None of these lists ever seem to be as fleshed out, up to date, or well organized as https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted , though imo any more attention on the self hosted scene is awesome. We're now self hosting everything at my co-op, and it's a dream. Saves us money, provides learning opportunities, potentially is getting us work (managed hosting providers asking if we can be a devshop for their clients, for example), and lets us give back to the FOSS community as we uncover bugs.
We use:
* Matrix / Synapse for comms (slack alternative) (managed hosting through etke.cc)

Home Lab Guide
There are a ton of resources about HW aspects of home labs for beginners but not so much for what to run on them and why. There are lists like https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted but they are confusing for absolute beginners like me. Are there any good SE project guides you know?

I turned my open-source project into a full-time business
I've always felt like FOSS as a philosophy has been tangled up in trying to participate effectively in capitalism, when that was never really the point, nor really very possible unless you're lucky, nor really worth it. The origin of FOSS as I understand it from reading books like "Hackers" is from people that were mad that access was being restricted to systems and code from people that really wanted to use these systems and code, and hack them, and learn from them. I recall that one of the things Stallman likes to brag about from that time is not related to FOSS at all, but instead successfully decrypting a bunch of passwords, emailing the decrypted passwords to people, and recommending they instead set the password to an empty string instead. It was about keeping access to the system Free as in Beer.
I suppose some have argued that FOSS represents a Public Commons in the way that fields and wells and physical markets used to, but none of those things survived capitalism, so I don't see why a technological commons should be expected to either.
For me I've been thinking lately that perhaps those interested in FOSS should instead consider how we can use FOSS to detach ourselves from needing to participate in global capitalism at all. Is there FOSS technology we can use to liberate people from things they need to spend money on right now? An example could be the Global Village Construction Set: https://www.opensourceecology.org/gvcs/ a set of open source designs for things like hydraulic motors or microcombines or steam engines that you can build on your own, usually not for cheap, but for far, far cheaper than you could buy from John Deere. Here's another cool project, some guy has just been building things like solar panels and basic circuit boards on his property from very base components for years: https://simplifier.neocities.org/
Some other FOSS liberation examples:
Combining a tool like Jellyfin with Sonarr, Radarr, and etc, can liberate people from their 5 different media subscriptions. Or at least they can still buy DVDs and put them on Jellyfin to have the convenience of streaming with the media library of their own choosing.
Deploying Matrix or another FOSS communication tool can let organizations have enterprise-level communication software without paying HUGE seat-based license fees to corporations like Slack.
In fact there's many ways to liberate yourself from paid SaaS in this list: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted at my co-op we self-host and deploy all our services for this reason, it saves us a TON of money.
I don't have many other examples to mind because this is something I'm actively still researching. Friends in Venezuela though especially tell me how FOSS technology can liberate in ways I wouldn't expect here with my 64gb RAM machine with the latest processor, that I can easily replace components on on a whim. Such as how they can keep all their broken down machines pieced together from junkyards running pretty ok on various linux distros, and how they can sell creative work using free tools like gimp (no, really) or darktable. Like as not they'll just pirate software, though, but apparently FOSS often runs better on shitty hardware.
Anyway my long term plan is to find or build more and more things that let people just not spend money on things anymore. That could be by making it easier to not have to throw things away anymore, or building tools to replace proprietary ones, or, idk, other ways I haven't thought of.
