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.

Don't trust, verify: Indexing ENS Domains with Subsquid
While creating these tutorials, I choose Ethereum Name Service as an example, because it's a famous project, and quite frankly, also because I take these changes to study some subjects I am interested in (sue me! 😛).

Nostr.how – A Complete Guide to Nostr
One of the first applications of blockchains was DNS. (Namecoin) ENS is a modern form. (https://ens.domains)
I would say there's still some degree of centrality for ENS, but it is more decentralized than DNS.

Code for simple .eth website?
"Launch censorship-resistant decentralised websites with ENS. Upload your website to IPFS and access it with your ENS name."
Thanks, don't let these dorks discourage you. Pointing to websites is one of the first use cases mentioned on https://ens.domains. It links here: https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/cloudflare-and-fleek-make-ens-ipfs-site-deployment-as-easy-as-ever-262c990a7514

Which data is currently decentralized stored on IPFS?
NFT.Storage is a counterpart to Web3.Storage for a specific purpose: a place to safely store and save your NFTs. Many people use IPFS with their NFTs personally, or using other services as well

1. Sites like https://nft.storage/ (which I dislike as they have a silly bug with content types) or Pinata also got to IPFS.
2. Good point.

Tim Berners-Lee: ‘Web3 is not the web at all’
IPFS is just a routing protocol, it is not a storage protocol itself. Pinning just lets other nodes know that you're hosting a particular file.
Anyone can operate a Filecoin or Arweave node. They are compensated for allocating harddrive space on those nodes with FIL or AR tokens. AR has the unique feature of 200 year storage, so it is certainly more expensive than B2. But currently you can store a substantial amount of data on Filecoin for free: https://nft.storage/ (this is temporary promotional storage, but still, the pricing is competitive).
They are stored on multiple nodes when you pay the fee.
But of course, these services have a different purpose altogether than traditional cloud based infrastructure. They are designed to act as a censorship-resistant and long term archive. They don't have the low latency of CDNs or what have you. That's generally ok, because you will typically use FIL or AR as your archive layer and also publish the data to a cloud provider for hot storage access. It makes sense to use IPFS, then, so it can link all these sources together for the same content.
Of course there's no requirement to put all the data on the blockchain. Why would there be? I even consider torrent networks to be "web3" and they're not blockchains.
It is not prohibitively expensive to store data on a blockchain, however. Arweave and Filecoin are the largest storage-centric blockchains. They each have multiple exabytes of data stored on them. Currently, you can store on Filecoin for free: https://nft.storage/ as a promotional thing, but even for larger data stores (https://web3.storage/) it's $10 / month for 120GiB and 8 cents per GiB after that.
OpenSea itself is a marketplace with some centralized elements. That's fine. The core listing, selling and transfer logic is written as a series of smart contracts, however.
They also compete with other marketplaces, some which are fully decentralized. They do not control or own the important data, which is the NFT itself.
Some NFTs store all the metadata on chain, you can implement an NFT contract metadata as base64 encoded JSON (as you can see in a recent project https://etherscan.io/address/0x6f4388602c5dd6c593bf7c9cf3128..., plug in tokenId 2 into tokenURI to see). Some store them on IPFS with a hash based reference to the content. Some use centralized storage in a private database. All are valid use cases with varying applications. If you only want to own fully native-chain NFTs, feel free to filter based on that criteria.

NFT.Storage is used for a long-term storage service

write json data
storage provider can be your own ipfs node (kubo, js-ipfs) or some cloud service (nft.storage, pinata, infura, fleek, ...).
