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.

The FBI Identified a Tor User
From a technological point of view, TOR still has a couple of flaws which make it vulnerable to the metadata logging systems of ISPs:
- it needs a trailing non-zero buffer, randomized by the size of the payload, so that stream sizes and durations don't match
- it needs a request scattering feature, so that the requests for a specific website don't get proxied through the same nodes/paths
- it needs a failsafe browser engine, which doesn't give a flying damn about WebRTC and decides to actively drop features.
- it needs to stop monkey-patching out ("stubbing") the APIs that are compromising user privacy, and start removing those features.
I myself started a WebKit fork a while ago but eventually had to give up due to the sheer amount of work required to maintain such an engine project. I called it RetroKit [1], and I documented what kind of features in WebKit were already usable for tracking and had to be removed.
I'm sorry to be blunt here, but all that user privacy valueing electron bullshit that uses embedded chrome in the background doesn't cut it anymore. And neither does Firefox that literally goes rogue in an endless loop of requests when you block their tracking domains. The config settings in Firefox don't change shit anymore, and it will keep requesting the tracking domains. It does it also in Librefox and all the *wolf profile variants, just use a local eBPF firewall to verify. I added my non-complete opensnitch ruleset to my dotfiles for others to try out. [3]
If I would rewrite a browser engine today, I'd probably go for golang. But golang probably makes handling arbitrary network data a huge pain, so it's kinda useless for failsafe html5 parsing.

What cool things have you done with your .bashrc?
Added lots of other helper methods, mostly for the shitty kind of CLI tools like yt-dlp, wget, tar, etc. My PS1 is a little more complex because I'm using emojis in the Terminal to represent states of repositories and to shorten the base paths. My complete bashrc is here if you're curious.
- How do you keep your install clean?

How safe is it to publish dotfiles?
Personally I decided to have my dotfiles being not a git repo of the actual dotfiles, but more like a quick bootstrapping framework with the idea that the install process can be run repeatedly and incrementally without fucking already "patched" config files up.

What cool things have you done with your .bashrc?
Getting environment variables from systemd generators, so they only needed to be set for the systemd user session (environment.d, custom generators), and they cover this way also systemd user services, systemd-run and flatpak-spawn. Also, bash-complete-alias is pretty neat, though I'm making limited use of it these days, and prefer wrappers, and symlinks.

Setting /etc/environment correctly
And here's a more advanced one.

Whats the recommended way of setting environment variables? .profile doesnt work with autologin shell
You can use 30-systemd-environment-d-generator to read and then export them, here's an example.

Don't forget to export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
If you're using ranger then you might also want to set TERMCMD. I don't remember what it's used for, maybe for launching new terminal windows from ranger. There are HW video acceleration vars, I set them dynamically with a systemd environment generator.

Which fonts do you guys actually install?
ttf-liberation as the bare minimum, with a gschema override and proper provides array in a PKGBUILD to avoid both adobe-source-code-pro-fonts and cantarell-fonts.
-
The Steam Deck will be using an immutable root filesystem
The whole mess is in my pkgbuilds repo, so feel free to look around and ask.

[help/question] What packages do you install on your base install of Arch for a pure Wayland WM?
Ignore everything that starts with my/uosys-mods-. Also, everything that starts with my/ is personal packages, you can replace them with the original upstream packages. For reference: flatpaks, pkgbuilds.
What are some alternatives?
git-secrets - Prevents you from committing secrets and credentials into git repositories
flatpaks
Dotfiles - These are my Arch Linux config files. You may use them however you like.
powerlevel10k - A Zsh theme
shortbashpwd - Shorter working directory in prompt like in fish shell
net.lutris.Lutris
retrokit - :joystick: Bring back the old Web(Kit) and make it secure
nerd-fonts - Iconic font aggregator, collection, & patcher. 3,600+ icons, 50+ patched fonts: Hack, Source Code Pro, more. Glyph collections: Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, Octicons, & more
