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 use a static library in g++
Hello, Im new to c++ and wanted to make a project from scratch, so far I understand how to compile multiple .cpp files using g++ (and visual studio code). The only thing that gives me a headache is trying to include open source libraries into my project, basically i want to use Cryptopp library (https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp).

> I have no room for TLS on micro computer
How micro is your micro? There are embedded TLS stacks such as wolfSSL[1]. If you carefully select the cipher suite and certificate requirements, and perhaps limit TLS payload sizes, you may be able to fit on a lot more systems than you initially suspect. x.509 is expensive in code space though, if that's the constraint, you may do better with an application specific certificate replacement of some sort.

CryptoLyzer: A comprehensive cryptographic settings analyzer
There are many notable open-source projects (SSLyze, CipherScan, testssl.sh, tls-scan, …) and several SaaS solutions (CryptCheck, CypherCraft, Hardenize, ImmuniWeb, Mozilla Observatory, SSL Labs, …) to do a security setting analysis, especially when we are talking about TLS, which is the most common and popular cryptographic protocol. However, most of these tools heavily depend on one or more versions of one or more cryptographic protocol libraries, like GnuTLS, OpenSSL, or wolfSSL. But why is this such a problem?
