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.

Rust 1.66
Speaking of cargo remove, see also cargo-edit [0] from which adding and removing originally came, as well as cargo-binstall [1] which installs binaries rather than compiling from source every time. The binaries are updatable with cargo-update [2].
The latter two can replace a package manager for Rust related utilities, as I often find that those in OS package repositories are often not as up to date as directly from cargo.

`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
Would be nice if this worked with cargo-update somehow.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (26/2022)!
There is cargo install-update plugin: https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update

go-global-update - the missing command for updating globally installed go executables
I didn't find any command or package to update those packages, and given that npm has npm -g update and cargo has cargo install-update, I decided to create go-global-update for go.

I just realised Monday is now my favourite day of the week, because in my timezone it’s the day new rust-analyzer releases come out!
rust-analyzer isn't a rust component (like rust-src, etc. which will update with rustup update), nor a cargo binary (where you could use cargo install-update - https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update ).

Git-cliff: generate changelog files from the Git history
I initially was interested in Rust because of performance + speed + safety, but now I have to say that cargo is a big selling point for me.
I always used to be scared of compiling software myself because I never seemed to be able to get it to work without endless headaches. Now, I generally find it easy to compile Rust programs if they aren't in my package manager, and with cargo install-update https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update I find it easy to keep the software up to date. I have higher confidence that I can get hobbyist Rust software working, and the more Rust software I use, the more familiar I am with the ecosystem and the more comfortable I am.
If this was written in some obscure language I wasn't familiar with, I'd be less confident I would be able to run it at all, let alone keep it updated, and I may not bother even trying to install it.

DoorDash: Migrating From Python to Kotlin for Our Backend Services
So while it may take a while for some, it's already absolutely fine for me to compile my projects in a few seconds or a minute. I install all my related tooling via cargo install and update it via cargo install-update -a ( https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/cargo-update ) so I frequently/daily build different Rust projects and I'm quite ok with the compilation times.

Advisory: Miscompilation in cortex-m-rt 0.7.1 and 0.7.2
You might also want to add this to https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db so that cargo audit and Dependabot surface it.

"This type of secure-by-default functionality is why we love Go"
The behavior of not extracting outside the specified directory has been the default since forever in Rust's tar. And then it had two RUSTSEC advisories for not handling this correctly in certain corner cases. The latest one in 2021.

`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
However, I keep getting this error when running cargo audit bin ~/.cargo/bin/*, even if I replace * with a specific binary: Fetching advisory database from `https://github.com/RustSec/advisory-db.git` Loaded 467 security advisories (from C:\Users\jonah\.cargo\advisory-db) Updating crates.io index error: I/O operation failed: The system cannot find the path specified.

MIA Github Assignee on very minor PR
I usually open an issue asking if the crate is still maintained. If there isn't a response for a decent amount of time (like multiple months) and the crate is somewhat popular then it could be worth opening an unmaintained advisory in the advisory-db

Github Dependency graph adds vulnerability alerting support for Rust
FWIW the RustSec database is still not synced into the Github databse on a regular basis, even though they did an initial import of it. So the cargo audit github action is still relevant.
