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.

Damn Small Linux 2024
Depending on how minimal a distribution you want, a few years ago I had a way to take a single ELF binary created by my computing stack built up from machine code (https://github.com/akkartik/mu) and package it up with just a linux kernel and syslinux (whatever _that_ is) to create a bootable disk image I could then ship to a cloud server (https://akkartik.name/post/iso-on-linode, though I don't use Linode anymore these days) and run on a VPS to create a truly minimal webserver. If this seems at all relevant I'd be happy to answer questions or help out.

Yes thank you, I was indeed alluding to https://github.com/akkartik/mu. Perhaps a more precise term would be "software stack".

Inferno: A small operating system for building crossplatform distributed systems
I built a computer with its own languages, and I consider it to be _less_ cognitive load when everything is in 1/2/3 languages. I don't have to worry that the next program I want to read the sources will require "Go, Rust, C++, JS/TS, Python, Java, etc."
There are other metrics to consider besides your notions of cognitive load and productivity. Inferno predates most of the languages on your list. My computer (https://github.com/akkartik/mu) uses custom languages because I was able to design them to minimize total LoC, and to ensure the dependency graph has no cycles (unlike all of the conventional software stack, at least until https://www.gnu.org/software/mes connects up all the dots).

10 Years Against Division of Labor in Software
"Separation of concerns is a hard-won insight."
Absolutely. I'm arguing for separating just concerns, without entangling them with considerations of people.
It's certainly reasonable to consider my projects toy. I consider them research:
* https://github.com/akkartik/mu
* https://github.com/akkartik/teliva
"The idea that projects should take source copies instead of library dependencies is just kind of nuts..."
The idea that projects should take copies seems about symmetric to me with taking pointers. Call by value vs call by reference. We just haven't had 50 years of tooling to support copies. Where would we be by now if we had devoted equal resources to both branches?
"...at least for large libraries."
How are these large libraries going for ya? Log4j wasn't exactly a shining example of the human race at its best. We're trying to run before we can walk.

My self-hosting infrastructure, fully automated
I still believe :) I'm looking not for an economic argument but for a strategic one. I think[1] a self-hosted setup with minimal dependencies can be more resilient than a conventional one, whether with a vendor or self-hosted.
https://sandstorm.io got a lot right. I wish they'd paid more attention to upgrade burdens.

My 486 Server
I'm very interested in the network stack, having explored it for a while for https://github.com/akkartik/mu before giving up. What sort of network card do you support?

I know the point of it isn't to run on new hardware, but this would be a way to learn it on a stable platform without having to worry about dealing with constant problems from old hardware before trying to implement it on said.

Ask HN: We should urge law makers to unlock the bootloaders
There is something called Collapse OS I read about here on HN:
http://collapseos.org/
I myself am a collector of old devices, having raised three kids plus being a web dev. Hate throwing them away too I was just think about this today could I extract the CPUs or RAM or something to reuse rather than destory for the metals. I'd like to learn more hardware but no time.

Need help with designing a basic RISC V processor?
Maybe start with sufficient support for a simple OS that allows you to edit and compile programs. Something like FreeDOS or CollapseOs. Once you have that working you can extend it.

Subreddit Updates: May 2023
During collapse we'll all be using Dusk OS and post collapse we'll be using cobbled together rugged computers running on Collapse OS. I imagine at that point we can probably put the sub name to a vote. Maybe "r/ordinarylife".

A ultra minimalist distro just for fun
Not Linux....but you could just install Kolibri OS for a very light desktop or consider CollapseOS and DuskOS....think Dusk should run bare metal on now and won't be too bloated, but there's always CollapseOS if you prefer to keep things light
