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.

ERROR: parent subvol is not reachable from inside the root subvol
Not an error I've seen before or that makes much sense to me at first glance, might want to take this to https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues or the mailing list?

Understanding btrfs with uneven disk sizes
You can test it by allocating the space to see if it can use it all: e.g. fallocate -l 3.8t /mnt/elfstone2/butts should succeed. If it does, then it's probably fine even if the balance didn't do what it should have. If not and you run out of space with some unallocated space left on only one device, not so much. If its the same bug I saw that means if your fs was created pre kernel 5.19, it will not allocate correctly on >5.19 until the array is rebuilt under the newer kernel.

What does the btrfs autodefrag option actually do?
Mount options should be documented either at https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administration.html or at the manual page section 5 (man 5 btrfs). Autodefrag is in section https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administration.html#btrfs-specific-mount-options . In case you find more information missing, unclear, lacking cross-references please open an issue at https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues .

Storage tiering possible with brtfs? Apparently netgear is doing it

Sure, btrfs-balance is slow, but this is ridiculous
Resume sort of doesn't work, when you resumed it will have started a fresh balance with a high usage value (check your syslog to confirm).

Is it normal for btrfs scrub "bytes scrubbed" to exceed 100%?
That's the hint. It's an unfixed bug with the accounting when scrub is paused and resumed, the relevant issue is I think https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues/227 .

Is my backup dead, and gone?
Hoping for a filesystem clone option at some point.

The File Filesystem
FFS predates FreeBSD and is in some capacity supported by all 3 major BSDs. I'm fairly confident that Linux actually supports it through the ufs driver ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/fs/ufs ); whether the use of different names in different places makes it better or worse is an exercise for the reader.

Linus Torvalds adds arbitrary tabs to kernel code
These are a bit easier to see what's going on:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e...
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e61...
Unfortunately Github doesn't have a way to render symbols for whitespace, but you can tell by selecting the spaces that the previous version had leading tabs. Linus changed it so that the tokens `default` and the number e.g. `12` are also separated by a tab. This is tricky, because the token "default" is seven characters, it will always give this added tab a width of 1 char which makes it always layout the same as if it were a space no matter if you use tab widths of 1, 2, 4, or 8.

PfSense Software Embraces Change: A Strategic Migration to the Linux Kernel
There was also a Gentoo effort to run atop FreeBSD[0]. The challenge of course is that afaik none of the BSD kernel ABIs are considered stable. The stable interface is the BSD libc. That said, with binfmt_misc, I don't see a reason you couldn't just run (at least some) FreeBSD binaries on Linux with a thin syscall translation layer (rather something like qemu-system) and then your layer hooked via binfmt_misc. I'm not aware of anyone who has done this for FreeBSD, but prior efforts existed as alternate binfmts for SysVr4/5 ELF binaries[2]. Either way would take some elbow grease, but you *might* even be able just reuse binfmt_elf and just have a new interpreter for FreeBSD elf.

Improvements to static analysis in GCC 14
> The original less-than check was deemed incorrect
It was only deemed incorrect because of an information leak. Not because it's a valid use-case for user space to copy smaller portions of *hwrpb into user space. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/21c5977a836e399fc71...

TinyMCE (also) moving from MIT to GPL
Correct. And the combined work needs to carry the MIT license text and copyright attributions for the MIT software authors. With binary distribution it must also be overt, not hidden in some source code drop, but directly accompanying the binary.
Many people who talk about relicensing never credit the MIT developers or distribute the MIT license text. "Because it's GPL now."
I don't think that you believe that, but many developers do.
Some don't see the need for source code scans for Open Source compliance, because the license.txt says GPL, so it's GPL. Prime example is the Linux kernel. There is code under different licenses in there, but people don't even read https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/COPYING till the end ("In addition, other licenses may also apply.") and conclude it's simply GPL 2 and nothing else.
Also be aware that sublicensing is not the same as relicensing.

He notoriously hates GNU Emacs, yes.

The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade
So If we would only count code and not comments, it is only 9489 LoC Rust. Which would be about 0.03% and if we take all lines and not only LoC it would be around 0.05%
