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.

Our model suggests that global deaths remain 5% above pre-Covid forecasts
It might be worth generating a version that excludes Russia and Ukraine.

WHO downgrades COVID pandemic, says it's no longer emergency
Btw if we look at the excess mortality data, it showed a pretty good temporal correlation with Covid waves/mortality. Similar with UK data. There are also data from many other countries available, e.g. Economist, and latest plots for 100 countries. This would seem to reconcile with bodies like the USA CDC, UK ONS etc. claiming that the vast majority (>85%) of C19 deaths has C19 as the underlying cause.

[OC] Total excess mortality per million people during the pandemic
Easiest is to use the linear trend in deaths over the 2015-2019 interval (be it increase or decrease). Doing so, and comparing all countries up to the present (using models to account for non-reporting in recent weeks / many countries) you get this: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates

The death records show the COVID vaccines are shortening lifespan worldwide
There’s also the latest data from many other countries (The Economist), and the latest plots with Covid mortality and vaccine uptake for 100 countries. In various countries it doesn’t look like there’s a temporal correlation with excess.

[OC] Estimated Excess Mortality during COVID in the United States, China, Russia, and 8 European Countries
Additionally, these stats are based on excess mortality stats(not Covid-19 deaths) compiled by the Economist, not exactly a CPC news outlet, and nowhere in their article do they mention the data being suspect.
The Economist did not use the Chinese Covid data at all. As explained here, they simply look at projected life expectancy in populations vs actual life expectancy. Thus, that actually tracks the total number of people who died as a result of the pandemic, not just infection. So for example, increases in liver cirrhosis from alcoholism caused by lockdowns would be included.

There were approximately 14.83 million excess deaths associated with COVID-19 across the world from 2020 to 2021, according to estimates by the WHO reported in Nature. This estimate is nearly three times the number of deaths reported to have been caused by COVID-19 over the same period.
The Economist puts it at 20.8 million: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates

Sweden fucked around and found out
Actually, Finland has a higher excess mortality rate than Sweden and Sweden has one of the lowest rates in Europe. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates

Django REST framework: 3.15.0 Release (Django 5.0 support)
By magic I mean the complexity brought on by the heavy use of metaclasses, patterns employed via convention rather than enforced by code (implying that you have to read enough of the code before you understand the patterns) and other similar leaky abstractions.
Don't get me wrong, I do think Django is one of those deep modules[1] where the interface makes it a pleasure to work with but the internals do need effort. Especially the ORM layer.

Build Initramfs Rootless
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=mfsbsd ?
There have been others in the past, but this seems to be the most polished and ready to use ATM(for FBSD).
Another would be NanoBSD (also FBSD).
For NetBSD you're on your own, starting from there https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/how_to_create_bootable_net... , and/or asking on https://daemonforums.org/ , https://www.unitedbsd.com/ (taking inspiration from some 'live-distro' discussed there. like 'OS-108'), reddit(?), 'crap-overflow', and even https://www.linuxquestions.org/.
Of course you're free to use the official NetBSD mailing lists, and some obscure IRC-channels in even more obscure IRC-networks also :-)
(You won't be spoon-fed, and are expected to have read the manuals and other documentations...)
