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.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
How does Flox compare to Devbox? https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox
- Instant, easy, and predictable development environments on any machine

PackagingCon – a conference only for software package management
I've spent the last year managing all my packages with Devbox (https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox).
Local dev, cloud dev, CI, production – all with the same config file. Fingers crossed my talk submission for PackagingCon gets accepted. It'd be awesome to share this new way of working with a wider audience.

NixOS and My Descent into Insanity
> Now to figure out what a "flake" is…
Flake is a worthwhile addition to Nix that is worth learning. But like anything Nixian, it's not straightforward.
Have you checked out any of the tools that aim to simplify Nix experience? We built Devbox (https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox) with this in mind.

TySON: a native go library that lets you use TypeScript as an embedded configuration language without depending on Node or V8
Also devbox ( https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox ) which is what this is for does not work on windows because of its Nix dependency.
-
Simplifying preview environments for everyone
For these reasons, I believe most developer environments should prioritize developer experience over fidelity. Tools like Containerized development environments and cloud emulators can strike the right balance and there’s no surprise that we see increased activity around devcontainers, and similar solutions.

Codespaces but open-source, client-only, and unopinionated
Local first, cloud optional is the only way (IMHO) we're going to get people off their local laptop development setups.
We need to support local dev environments first, with the exact same config a developer can then move to the cloud.
See https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox for how this can be achieved and https://www.mikenikles.com/blog/dev-environments-in-the-clou... for my thoughts after 3 years of working in this space.

Why did Nix adopt Flakes?
If you like the properties of Nix, but find it confusing, you should check out Devbox! It simplifies the process of creating Nix-powered dev environments:

NixTest: a tiny unit testing framework written in pure nix
As part of the work we've been doing with [devbox](https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox), we needed a unit testing framework to test some of our nix code. Unfortunately we had some use cases where we did *not* want to introduce a dependency on `nixpkgs` (and therefore we couldn't use `runTests`).

Docker's deleting Open Source images and here's what you need to know
You might be interested in Devbox (http://jetpack.io/devbox)! We built Devbox because we were frustrated with our Docker based dev environments, and our goal is to provide the power of Nix with a more accessible interface (similar to yarn or other package managers).
We're open source and rapidly adding features, you can check us out on Github at https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox

- Local Admins for End Users

Giving local admin rights
If they must have it, then make me admin is good for allowing temp admin rights. Although, admittedly, it's permanent in the sense of allowing it whenever - https://github.com/pseymour/MakeMeAdmin

Program wants to run as Admin on a standard user account
The college I work at uses this https://github.com/pseymour/MakeMeAdmin for as needed elevation.

Best Practices / Ideas on Managing Dev Machines and Local Admins
Make available an on demand access to admin such as MakeMeAdmin ( https://github.com/pseymour/MakeMeAdmin ) which logs all uses and times out after 15 minutes.

Script for creating / modifying key in reg-editor?
MakeMeAdmin's wiki contains a document on [User Account Control (UAC) settings](https://github.com/pseymour/MakeMeAdmin/wiki/UAC-Settings) and, towards the bottom, you'll see `EnableLUA` which this app designates enabling the setting as a requirement. For what it's worth, I build our Windows 10/11 Golden Images for my employer (~12,500 devices) and each image I build is required to pass a pen-test. Having `EnableLUA` instantly disqualifies the image and fails the pen-test. I'm not sure exactly what it does but I'd hesitate to enable this setting globally throughout my organization.

Newby question regarding Regerstry-Editor and Key-creation
Hey guys, I apologize because it's probably a dumb question but im new in the sysadmin world (started the apprenticeship earlier this year) and was tasked by my boss to implement an app called Make Me Admin (https://github.com/pseymour/MakeMeAdmin) into our Azure and write a powershell script that, when executed, would install it and also change the setting of the app to grant the user admin rights for 60 minutes instead of the default 10 minutes.
