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.

Apparently ProtonMail received a legal request from Europol through Swiss authorities to provide information about Youth for Climate action in Paris, they provided the IP address and information on the type of device used to the police
That is a bummer, although for now I guess it would be better than nothing to reach out to api.protonmail.ch through Tor. I'd be more motivated if it were an onion though. I had a look at the likely places it would need to be modified: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge/search?q=dial and I think all it would take is to make a struct that extends https://github.com/cretz/bine so that it implements TLSDialer to make a drop-in Tor based connection. That would be very thorough and pretty escape-proof. I'm steadily talking myself into doing it...

Tor is a great sysadmin tool
Sure. I wrote https://github.com/cretz/bine (though I admittedly don't work on it much these days). I just have a few-line daemon that starts an HTTP (or gRPC or whatever) server on ephemeral onion service. Then I use that onion ID to access it (via TorBrowser or Orbot or a client built with the same library).

Show HN: Ots – share a secret via one-time URL (a simple Go CLI)

Can put it on Tor and give an ephemeral onion link (I wrote https://github.com/cretz/bine to help w/ just these use cases). So people could access via Tor browser or via the same CLI with a "client"/"get" command. Can even have the ephemeral server determine its been HTTP "GET"d and kill itself. Then you don't even need a public website.

Cwtch: Decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol
Shameless plug, I also wrote a simple lib that makes onion services easy: https://github.com/cretz/bine (OP's project uses a fork of it and I plan on putting more time into it soon)

Embedding Tor into an application without external installation.
https://github.com/ipsn/go-libtor and https://github.com/cretz/bine are excellent libraries to get you started. They do exactly what you are asking.

Organizing OpenStreetMap Mapping Parties
What are you thinking of here? Synapse has supported purging room history since 2016: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/911, and configurable data retention since 2019: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5815.
Meanwhile, Matrix has never needed the full room history to be synchronised - when a server joins a room, it typically only grabs the last 20 messages. (It does needs to grab all the key-value state about the room, although these days that happens gradually in the background).
If you're wondering why Matrix implementations are often greedy on disk space, it's because they typically cache the key-value state aggressively (storing a snapshot of it for the room on a regular basis). However, that's just an implementation quirk; folks could absolutely come up with fancier datastructures to store it more efficiently; it's just not got to the top of anyone's todo list yet - things like performance and UX are considered much more important than disk usage right now.

GrapheneOS is moving off Matrix

Non-profit Matrix.org Foundation seems to be moving funds to for-profit Element
Why not Matrix? Here's one reason: it has incredibly hard-to-debug edge cases, and plenty of bugs. One of my favourites is the one where people are kicked out of your room at random, which was reported a year ago[0]. It wasn't fixed, however, because the head of the Matrix foundation (Matthew) presumably didn't like the issue being posted on Twitter.
This is honestly really disappointing behaviour from a platform owner.

The Future of Synapse and Dendrite
> That doesn't make this situation any less bad to the rest of the community.
How is the community suffering here? Let's say Element adds a bunch of baller stuff to their versions over the next few months and then closes the source. Can't the community just fork the last AGPL version? You might say, "well then no one can take the AGPL fork and make their own closed-source business", but do you want them to? Even if you do, they still can with the existing Apache-licensed version, just like Element is doing right now.
You're arguing that Element will lose a lot of contributions, but TFA points out that despite being super open, the vast majority of contributions are still made by Element employees (which seems to be true [0]). It's not the case that Element is looking to monetize the (small) contributions of others, it is the case that others are looking to monetize the (huge) contributions of Element.
And besides, aren't the MSCs the core of Matrix? It's already super possible to build your own compliant client and server.
The situation is that Element needs money to keep developing the ecosystem. It would be cool if there were a big network of donors and contributions, but there isn't. You're essentially saying, "that's fine, go out of business then, and the community will keep developing the ecosystem", but that's not happening now, and it can still happen anyway with the Apache-licensed versions, which again people can still contribute to.
