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.

I Didn’t Learn Unix By Reading All The Manpages
i agree with this piece, as someone who likes man pages to the extent of having ported significant amounts of the s6-ecosystem docs to mdoc(7), and as someone who has also written a number of guides.

Compiled kernel vs pre compiled kernel?
And the -bin kernel can be used to easily get many of the settings you'll need when you build your own kernel.
-
Is there anyway to extract the first page of an epub as image so I can use it in lf previewer
Gah, didn't even consider that the OP might have meant the cover image! Probably at least partly because i know that EPUBs don't necessarily need a cover image - i learnt this as a result of learning how to create a minimal EPUB. (And i actually have many EPUBs without a cover image.)
-
I really want to use Gentoo but I'm tired of the compiling
The point is to be able to customise where you want/need to, and to not have to when you don't. The -bin packages for FireFox, LibreOffice and Zig meet my needs, so i use them. i used the -bin package for the kernel to help me create a minimal kernel for my hardware, because messing around with kernel configuration is not my idea of a good time. But more generally, compiling allows me to specify things like: "i want packages compiled with USB and PCRE support where available, but i don't want them compiled with GNOME support."
-
Is it all about tuning?
Even though D-Bus is probably most often encountered by people in the context of GUI sessions, it's not specific to that; it can be (and is) used outside of such contexts. The widespread misunderstandings i've encountered about D-Bus over the years led me to write a short guide, "D-Bus: the essentials".
-
Freedesktop Notification Error!
(Some related background you might find helpful: a guide i wrote about D-Bus and X sessions).
-
Trouble creating OpenRC kernel from gentoo-sources
But more generally, you might find it helpful to refer to this guide i wrote on creating a minimal Gentoo-patched kernel via gentoo-kernel-bin (which can then be regularly updated just like any other Gentoo package).
-
Gonna switch to Gentoo
Take advantage of savedconfig where appropriate, e.g. for kernel builds. In particular, this can be used to easily create a minimal kernel for your hardware.
-
How to I get sound on Gentoo. I thought I installed the right sound card in my Kernel, but its not working
(Further to this, you might be interested in my guide to creating a minimal kernel for your hardware.)
-
The square root symbol looks incomplete, with the extension hanging outside
[a] i've actually written a quickstart guide to writing man pages with mdoc(7), to try to encourage others to use the semantics-oriented mdoc(7) macros for man pages, rather than the presentation-oriented man(7) macros.

Standard Ebooks' 1,000th title: Ulysses
I love the project, but it really does need a way to find the most popular books:

Majority of web apps could just run on a single server
Sure, at some point you're going to be relying on some 3rd party somewhere. We use a VPS and not a bare-metal hand-installed rack, and we rely on an electrical company and not a hand-turned crank to power our servers. As far as email goes, It's simply not possible to self-host transactional email in 2024 if you want it to arrive in an inbox and not a permanent spam blackhole; likewise it's not possible to accept money without involving a 3rd party service like Fractured Atlas or Stripe or PayPal. (Moving away from GitHub towards a self-hosted Git solution is actually on our long-term todo list[1]).
All those things doesn't mean you can't run your web app on a single tiny server, and that outsourcing the basic underpinnings of your web app, like the OS, runtime, and database to some cloud service, or that resorting to flavor-of-the-month frameworks or containers, will result in complexity and bloat.

Show HN: Glossarie – a new, immersive way to learn a language
Hey a little later to the party here but I'm really enjoying this. I started reading a book with it and while I agree with others it's not great for grammar it certainly shows me many new words without requiring me to read at a glacial pace.
PS: You should def try to include some books from https://standardebooks.org/ which are much nicer formatted than the ones you're using from Project Gutenberg.
Good luck and I hope you can keep building this out. Already the update to tap anywhere to close the word definition is a nice improvement :)

Librum: Open-Source e-book platform
A number of e-book platforms are discussed on my blog, which dives deeply into the technical nuances of typesetting a few[1]. Ultimately, I typeset a classic from Standard EBooks[2], Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde[3].
