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.

Using GitLab Kubernetes Runners to Build Melange Packages
Recently, I came across Chainguard and wrote the article How to build Docker Images with Melange and Apko. As a fervent supporter of Kubernetes and GitLab CI, I was eager to experiment with building images using Melange in this particular setup. GitLab's shared Runners work seamlessly with Bubblewrap, eliminating the need for additional configurations. This post is intended for enthusiasts like myself, interested in hosting their own Kubernetes Runners and leveraging the Kubernetes Runner Type of Melange.

A Study of Malicious Code in PyPI Ecosystem
```
This is basically manually invoking what Flatpak does:
https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap
This is also useful for more than just security. E.G., you can test how your app would behave on a fresh install by masking your user configuration files. I personally also have a tool that uses it to basically bundle all dependencies from an entire Linux distribution in order to make highly portable AppImages— Been meaning to post that, will get around to it eventually maybe.
The flags above should hide your user data (`--tmpfs`), disable network access (`--unshare-all`), hide/virtualize devices and OS state (`--dev` and `--proc`), and make the rest of the root filesystem read-only (`--ro-bind`— Including the insecure X11 socket in `/tmp`, which you might want to expose for GUI apps).
Check them against `bwrap --help`; I might have omitted one or two more things you'd need.

Firejail: Light, featureful and zero-dependency security sandbox for Linux
While trying to find out more comparison information, found this light on details issue:

It mentions nsjail and minijail.

Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)
Personally I prefer INI over nearly all configuration formats.

YAML: The Missing Battery in Python
Essentially the reasons given here. (This is from an INI parser developer, but I don’t think it’s particularly biased.)
- If a linux/unix was rewritten today, what would be different?
What are some alternatives?
firejail - Linux namespaces and seccomp-bpf sandbox
config-parser - A slim, fully managed C# library for reading/writing .ini, .conf, .cfg etc configuration files.
flatpak - Linux application sandboxing and distribution framework
ini-parser - Read/Write an INI file the easy way!
flathub - Issue tracker and new submissions
toml - Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language
nsjail - A lightweight process isolation tool that utilizes Linux namespaces, cgroups, rlimits and seccomp-bpf syscall filters, leveraging the Kafel BPF language for enhanced security.
crudini - A utility for manipulating ini files
distrobox - Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Mirror available at: https://gitlab.com/89luca89/distrobox
guile-gi - Bindings for GObject Introspection and libgirepository for Guile
multipass - Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances
inih - Simple .INI file parser in C, good for embedded systems
