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.

Help my current lack of creativity. This setup is a product of 15 years of “fuckin’ with synths”. Currently need input from peers
Lastly, something I want to start exploring more, is funky ways to sequence stuff. There's a program called ORCA which is more programming than performing (unless you're into live coding!) but it can make some really neat stuff. That YT channel has a video going over the basics, too. Something like that might be more of a learning curve than you want, but I love the idea of obtuse ways to make melodies.

Any programmers here? Curious how people have combined coding and music.
I love using ORCA for generative experimentation https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca
- Best livecoding software if I primarily want to manipulate the MIDI in my DAW

Sharing Saturday #436
In particular - theres a music environment called Orca that is such a great fit for a Roguelike, and porting it to Rust might be a fun medium-size project.
- Played Raiden Shogun - Awake from a Nightmare in Orca Language
- Is programming truly for me?
- Do you know any visual programming language for music like OpenMusic?

How do I get ORCA to work from the ZIP file off Itch.io?
I've downloaded the Linux zip file from the link above and even after unzipping it and going through those files I can't find anything I'm supposed to be able to open. I've tried checking the MANUAL and the README file on the program's Github but I can't seem to get it going there either.

- Critical bug that exists in every Linux boot loader signed in the past decade

Signing a UEFI module
Microsoft doesn't really sign other people's code for UEFI. They do sign shim (https://github.com/rhboot/shim) which will look at other keys the user registered with UEFI to load other components to enable you to write custom third party UEFI modules while still supporting secure boot.

The vendor-locking is for your own safety. Do not resist.
In this case, the distros first boot loader is shim, which is signed by Microsoft. Shim is FOSS: https://github.com/rhboot/shim

SBAT for rEFInd
How do I get dual boot set up and running? There doesn't seem so much documentation about this sbat chicanery as it was introduced to shim in 2021 and patched in rEFInd a bit more than a month ago, so I suppose not enough people have had this trouble yet.

Microsoft VS BlackLotus Malware
Secure boot still isn't "secure" at all because microsoft has signed multiple bootloaders with their own keys, which exist only to chain load a second bootloader. See https://github.com/rhboot/shim and https://blog.hansenpartnership.com/linux-foundation-secure-boot-system-released/
-
First in-the-wild UEFI bootkit bypassing UEFI Secure Boot
A new mechanism called SBAT (https://github.com/rhboot/shim/blob/main/SBAT.md) is now used to allow revocation of groups of bootloaders rather than individual hashes in order to mitigate the resource consumption

Unable to install Fedora 36 with secure boot enabled.
Yeah, that incident instigated a totally new approach to revoking bad bootloaders that everybody (including Microsoft) should be using nowadays. So I guess HP just never got the memo.
