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.

How to package a Rust app using Nix
I'll use nixpkgs' buildRustPackage. There's a few other tools, my favorite being crate2nix, but we'll leave that to a future tutorial.

Nix shell related questions (for rust)
If you want to iterate with nix instead of cargo, crate2nix and cargo2nix provides more caching and more fine control over your dependencies. I haven't used these two so you would have to decide for yourself. You may also want to try out nocargo for something more experimental.

Introducing Crane: Composable and Cacheable Builds with Cargo and Nix
I'm yet to try it out, but from the blog post, the README and the source it appears that Crane builds all dependencies in one derivation (separately from the main crate). This means that if a dependency gets added, removed or changed, all dependencies of a crate will be rebuilt. This is in contrast with https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix, which does build every dependency in a separate package, thus you don't need to rebuild other dependencies if you only change a small part of the tree.

Nixery – Docker images on the fly with Nix
Yes, you will have to package it if it's not already in nixpkgs.
The good news is once you learn how, it's basically trivial with crate2nix[0], which can autogenerate nix derivations from rust crates

Help with Nix and Rust
From my quick reading of cargo2nix's webpage yes. https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix has a workspaces section.

How do you install packages not in Nixpkgs?
As for your two applications, they're both written in Rust, and I like https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix as a way to package Rust crates with Nix. BTW, wezterm is already in nixpkgs!

Nix-ifying a Rust project
I like the way crate2nix works. I have made a flake template for it here. Sometimes it requires a couple of overrides to fix some misbehaving crates (see https://github.com/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons/blob/master/flake.nix#L29 for an example of such overrides), but otherwise it's fantastic. It doesn't require any hash nonsense, it downloads and builds all the crates separately (unlike naersk or other solutions) so you get all the benefits of Nix (reproducibility and proper caching).

Release Radar • March 2024 Edition
Having been featured in our February 2023, and January 2024 Release Radars, Moby is the original Linux Container runtime. This new version adds a bunch of changes to the Docker CLI and Moby itself with additional features. There's bug fixes and enhancements, with the main thing for users to be on the look out for containers that were created using Docker Engine 25.0.0. These containers might have duplicate MAC addresses, and thus must be recreated. The same goes for those containers created with Moby 25.0+ and with user defined MAC addresses. Read up on all these changes in the release notes.

Choosing a Name for Your Computer
Formlabs does this as well for their 3d printers, my earliest encounter of this was when Docker started getting popular: https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/pkg/namesgenerator/...

Do not install Docker Desktop on GNU/Linux systems
Try to use moby instead since that is the engine in Docker.

Exploring Podman: A More Secure Docker Alternative
> Podman is designed to help with this by providing stronger default security settings compared to Docker. Features like rootless containers, user namespaces, and seccomp profiles, while available in Docker, aren't enabled by default and often require extra setup.
Seccomp has been enabled by default since 2015: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/18780
It is true that Rootless isn't enabled by default but its "extra setup" can be done with a single command (`dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install`)

OpenZFS 2.2: Block Cloning, Linux Containers, BLAKE3
Perhaps.
Thing is, https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/670bc0a46c4ca03b75f1e72f73... is using https://github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs which features code like `out, err := zfsOutput("get", "-H", key, d.Name)` (Source: https://github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs/blob/master/zfs.go#L315) to get a single zfs property.
Somebody chose to use a library as abstraction that looks good but is implemented as a MVP (nothing wrong with that). "In the future, we hope to work directly with libzfs" should have raised an alarm somewhere, though.
