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.

Validate websites properties behind reverse proxy
You could potentially host a dns server in docker (https://mpolinowski.github.io/docs/DevOps/Provisioning/2022-01-25--installing-bind9-docker/2022-01-25/) (https://4sysops.com/archives/configure-a-private-dns-server-in-docker/) or even on windows (https://maradns.samiam.org/) and point the system doing the lookups to use that server. Put in your own records, and then have it do forward lookups for anything else.

We are stuck with egrep and fgrep (unless you like beating people)
While you haven’t used egrep that much, I used it a whole lot, well over 20 times for the automated test setup I have for my open source project. I had to spend most of an hour this morning updating the code to no longer use egrep, and it was non-trivial to update. Here’s the amount of hassle breaking egrep has given me:
https://github.com/samboy/MaraDNS/commit/afc9d1800f3a641bdf1...
This is just one open source project. I’ve seen fgrep in use for well over 25 years and egrep apparently has been around for a very long time too. Just because it didn’t get enshrined in a Posix document—OK, according to Paul Eggert it was made obsolete by Posix in 1992, but apparently no one got the telegram and it’s been a part of Linux since the beginning and is also a part of busybox—doesn’t mean it’s something which should be removed.
I’m just glad I caught this thread and was able to “update” my code.

GitHub with degraded performance for Git Operations
That is very true, and I do my utmost to avoid any kind of vendor lock in.
Testing is done in a Docker container, so the CI/CD pipeline is available in a Dockerfile and the scripts the Dockerfile imports in to the testing container. In my case: https://github.com/samboy/MaraDNS/tree/master/Docker-stuff
Bug reports and support requests are handled using Github, mainly because that’s what is widely used in the industry right now, but bugs actually fixed are usually described in Git commits, where the information can easily be mirrored.

GitHub Stale Bots – A False Economy
I think it’s irresponsible to let bugs languish like this. The way I handle bug reports is to say “Hey, look, I just can’t fix this right now because I’m working full time and don’t know when I’ll be able to get around to fixing this without getting paid for my work.” E.g. https://github.com/samboy/MaraDNS/issues/84
I can see why a lot of people don’t do that: It’s a little rude, and there’s a small but significant chance it’ll become a flame war. I have only once had someone get rude in a ticket when I told them “That’s not a bug report, but a support issue”; I ended up deleting the ticket. GitHub also allows you to edit or delete other people’s comments in your tickets, as well as locking the conversation.

Cursed IP Address Representations
Since I write a Lua-parsed DNS server which works with IPv6, even when compiled for an ancient version of MINGW on Windows XP (which has IPv6 support but no built-in IPv6 parser), I had to write an IPv6 address parser.
No, I did not add dotted quad notation to the parser. No, you can not have more than four hex digits in a single quad; 00000000 becomes 0000:0000 with the parser. It supports “normal” stuff like ::, ::1, 2001:db8::1, and even non-normal stuff like “2001-0db8-1234-5678 0000-0000-0000-0005” (to be compatible with the really basic IPv6 parser I put in MaraDNS’s recursive resolver nearly two years ago), but none of the corner cases in the linked article.
The IPv6 test cases in the automated test for the parser are at: https://github.com/samboy/MaraDNS/blob/master/deadwood-githu...

Personal FreeBSD PKGBASE Update Server
2023-06-26: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/ee0aa1ce12b3caea34477a31e9d2111a329e33b9 to main (tagged release/14.0.0).
- What version of ZFS at FreeBSD solves the block cloning issue?

It's not yet in FreeBSD base so if you want to test it you'll have to use the patch from the PR: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/881

FreeBSD 14.0 Delivering Great Performance Uplift
Lots of great work by many people. But I bet this guy and his optimizations to the vfs and locking has made a significant impact.

ZFS 2.2.1: Block Cloning disabled due to data corruption
and then there were deep concerns about the stability of same, so vfs.zfs.bclone_enabled = 0 was left in-place

FreeBSD 14.0-Release Announcement
Well there are some examples:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/tree/main/share/examp...
But yeah that pf.conf could be expanded allot, but there are many source to cobble a conf together. My conf is massive but 99.9% commented out so i have my "template" for nearly everything, from mail to web to blacklistd etc.

Git cherry-pick and revert use 3-way merge
The BSD version is sort of very recent, for what it's worth -- FreeBSD imported a not fully functional version in 2017 and has seen more work on it in 2022: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/usr.bin/... , but the default version shipped is still GNU diff3: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff3&apropos=0&se... .
