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.

Looking for CI/CD practice for home
I've previously used Hashicorp Packer configs in a private git repo (based on the 'chef bento' configs used for many standard Vagrant boxes) that can build template server images for and then deploy a complete fully unattended CI pipeline from scratch, using nothing more than Apache Subversion (built into CentOS and RHEL but also has an excellent Windows version!) and Jenkins. Takes under 15 mins to provision both and can be tested locally (and completely offline!) in Virtualbox as it uses a limited amount of resources. I developed the solution for a rather risk averse client that required a cheap and easy reusable centrally managed CI pipeline that could handle larger sources than git by default and be built from artefacts on a private 'air-gapped and sheep-dipped' LAN with verified SHA256 hashes for all vendor binaries.

FreeBSD Bhyve Virtualization
Other than that, I use bhyve on my laptop daily since around 2015-2016. It was somewhat painful at first. I had to bake a CD key into Windows ISO for headless install but now VNC support exists and it's easy to output any graphical installer via VNC.
bhyve doesn't offer API and has not the most user-friendly interface (vm-bhyve[1] for the rescue!) but overall, I couldn't be happier with its - typical for FreeBSD - _set-and-forget_ stability.

What Access Point (L2 VLAN support) could I use to connect/extend a network
I am using FreeBSD in the workstation, I have both intel and realtek, and the main network uses the LAN interface, but I need the VLAN 20 to assign IPs from that range to some VMs (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Virtual-Switches)

how to create a gif/gre tunnel to access a DHCP server in a VLAN from a wifi only host
I want to assign IPs from VLAN 20 172.16.1.0/24 to VMs (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/wiki/Virtual-Switches) running on a host where main IP 192.168.1.10 is on the LAN network (no VLAN 20) this is the setup:

Anyone have gpu passthrough working with FreeBSD as the host OS?
Of what is properly supported, works beautifully and I have to say vm-bhyve is a joy to use. Everything is very cohesive and solid as a whole; I recommend it for servers but for GPU passthrough, only if you like a challenge.

Linux+KVM moving to FreeBSD+Bhyve
I recommend to look into some third-party tooling to manage VMs. I prefer vm-bhyve, https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve

Using i5 Fanless mini-pc as router and plex transcoding server
I was thinking opnsense + https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve to run a debian instance, which can then run everything in docker containers. It's inception but better utilization of all the services.

FreeBSD Jails for Fun and Profit
Perhaps it would! But the userbase is definitely what finally got me into FreeBSD. The fact that hobbyists were contributing such excellent cli tools as `iocage` [0] and `vm-bhyve` [1] really is what got me over my fears.
