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.

For processing strings, streams in C++ can be slow
> "I recently learned that some Node.js engineers prefer stream classes when building strings, for performance reasons." Pretty much tells you everything you need to know about node js, I guess.
Google Closure Library includes a StringBuffer class. [1]
I recall it having explanatory notes, but I don't see them in the code now. JavaScript engines can optimize a string concatenating to in-place edit, if there is only one reference to the first string. The StringBuffer class keeps the reference count at one, guaranteeing this optimization is available, even if the StringBuffer itself is ever shared.

Tailscale/golink: A private shortlink service for tailnets
This made me wonder what the oldest go-link (from inside Google) discoverable on the public internet is. So far I've found one going back to 2013 (but there should definitely be some from the mid 2000s): https://github.com/google/closure-library/blame/11ed104958a2...
(Fun fact: go-links are so critical to Google ops, that they're expected to be accessible in a "everything is down" scenario.)

Which Type, Currency Values In DB?
For data type I always use DECIMAL(#, 6). So 6 decimal places. This accommodates all generally agreed upon rounding standards for calculating interest, taxes, discounts, etc. So for me, something like $12.75 USD will look like 12.750000 in the database. I store the 3-letter currency code in a separate column. I know what the base value for each currency is on the code side in our framework, which has a currency library that reads a dataset that has every currency stored like this (the 'rules' key is a bitmask per Google's i18n currency.js):

List of ngrok/Cloudflare Tunnel alternatives and other tunneling software and services. Focus on self-hosting.
Nebula - Peer-to-peer overlay network. Developed and used internally by Slack. Similar to Tailscale but completely open source. Doesn't use WireGuard. Written in Go.

JIT WireGuard
(I am a Nebula maintainer.) We recently merged support for gVisor-based services, although it's very new, and I don't know of much experimentation that's been done with it yet: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/pull/965

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Nebula, originally from Slack[0].
Wireguard rightly gets a lot of attention, but Nebula is a really simple and easy to deploy mesh network that is often overlooked.
It does lack a management GUI and that stuff is very much DIY.

Nebula is Not the Fastest Mesh VPN (But neither are any of the others)
Fair enough about the android mobile client... My use case only involves meshing linux appliances across various networks so we only need the nebula core binaries which are under MIT license

Nebula is an open-source and free-to-use modern C++ game engine
That's not at all confusing with Slack's Nebula. https://github.com/slackhq/nebula

A word of caution about Tailscale
Sounds like a bunch of your pain points are just related to needing an online CA or ICA. But, looking through the Nebula docs I don't know that it supports things like CRL addresses where you could host the CRL, or OCSP responders. Someone got support for an OCSP responder but never submitted a PR with completed code: https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/issues/72

Free Tech Tools and Resources - Multi-clock Display, Networking Tools, Digital Forensics & More
Nebula is a scalable, cross-platform overlay networking tool focused on performance, simplicity, and security. This portable tool is equally adapted for linking a small number of computers or scaling to connect tens of thousands. It integrates encryption, security groups, certificates, and tunneling into a powerful, cohesive connectivity solution. Thanks for the recommendation go to jmeador42.

Would we still create Nebula today?
Replying to my own comment as I can no longer edit it:
The folks over at Slack had an interesting discussion regarding the the "battle of the VPNs" article published by Netmaker I sourced in my parent comment:

Tailscale vs. Narrowlink
Interesting. I thought recognized the logo, apparently seems to be a commercial support offering of https://github.com/slackhq/nebula and they support the "nebula" iOS app. I had been using for nebula/defined in the past.

Which overlay network?
Nebula: Is super easy to get running. It uses an interesting angle, working on the service and not just the device level. Unfortunately their NAT support seems to be still quite problematic and I am not going to maintain all those forwarded ports manually. There is a PR to support PCP but even if that ever gets applied I am not sure how well that will play with older routers. While it should be battle proven at slack, the community seems to be not that active. It still has the in-house tool that just got released.
