The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Using hash to compare files
You should check out my program dano. It has a dupe detection function.
-
Use `dano` to find duplicate media files
dano is a wrapper for ffmpeg that checksums the internal file streams of ffmpeg compatible media files, and stores them in a format which can be used to verify such checksums later. This is handy, because, should you choose to change metadata tags, or change file names, the media checksums should remain the same.
- verify files excluding metadata using ffmpeg

Frustration with Linux'y installs... just venting....
My best advice (from a person who knows only enough to package his own projects) is it depends on the project. For my own Rust projects, I've found a Debian autopackager called cargo-deb for cargo. I convert those deb packages to rpm with alien. I upload both to the repo manually, and have a script which generates what I need and uploads to a PPA.

Ubuntu/Debian Users: Something to be thankful for -- a `httm` PPA
The meaty part of the holidays comes a little early this year for Ubuntu/Debian users, as I've prepared a special treat -- a PPA for httm (and dano)!

How you protect and back up your music? I have an external drive and I am afraid that one day it will be damaged and I will lose everything
If you use something like ZFS, then you have a system thats watching your entire data path. If you're not paranoid, afraid of other ways your data can be corrupted, bit rot, etc. (again you do you), you might still want to look at a program I wrote awhile ago, dano, and have a system to periodically verify the data on disk.

Using `httm` and ZFS to detect file modifications for `dano` (or getting a little sleazy to do a little good)
One thing ZFS doesn't do (and thank goodness it doesn't?), it doesn't detect out-of-band changes to files. If a program has the permissions to modify a file, ZFS happily modifies that file. But, for some files (and for the truly paranoid), we may want to keep additional metadata about file integrity. For instance, FLAC files keep checksums of its music streams. A program I wrote, dano, provides a way to do the same for all FFMPEG compatible media streams.

`dano` verifies your FLAC hashes 50% faster than `flac`
