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.

What Type of Research Can Bring Value to the Community?
I think cryptography is a decentralizing force in general, though its intersection with ML is small, Also, related things, steganography, differential privacy, federated learning, all things that tend to decentralize. Anonymizing text fingerprint with LLMs, ML-ish censor evading algo , possibility of a decentralized vector database

AdBlocking as a Service
China just blocks ESNI entirely, possibly Iran too, and I'd assume once ECH becomes popular they'd do just that. The paper points out it's trivial to defeat the blocking, but there needs to be at least a client or server-side modification, which is kinda out of scope for your app & service. Would Cloudflare join the cat & mouse game? Probably not, considering in China they choose to cooperate with the local entity.

Google’s top security teams unilaterally shut down a counterterrorism operation
> The fact that Western countries aren't spending billions to comprehensively subvert the Great Firewall is a significant strategic failure.
I have strong opinions in this matter.
The GFW is only possible because of metadata leaks that Western countries are exploiting too, for security and surveillance, or whatever.
Suppose Western countries start investing billions in subverting the great firewall, our own infrastructure and economy would suffer too.
I'll give you an example, I tried to train https://github.com/Kkevsterrr/geneva against a CheckPoint and a Fortinet ... It's not been fun for those "next gen firewalls", and CheckPoint is a NASDAQ-100, Fortinet an S&P 500.

Privacy is Priceless, but Signal is Expensive

People should be aware that privacy tools can make you stand out. Unless methods are used to obfuscate your data.

Is it possible that my schools network can block my ExpressVPN?
VPNs are totally detectable - its your traffic eg what ur searching up that is hard or impossible to decrypt. to make the VPN TRAFFIC itself undetectable, you have to obfuscate it. Now there could be a lot of reasons as to how your school blocked your vpn. The ports expressvpn use may have been blocked, for example. I personally don't use express vpn but use my own, but protocols like wireguard which MAY (im not sure) be used by express vpn use udp packets and the school could have just completely dropped them completely (Most games use udp packets since its faster), or the ip ranges you have been assigned on expressvpn may have just been blocked from the school wifi. As for why the cheap free vpn may be able to bypass your school wifi, it could be that it avoids the reasons above OR its something different like a proxy, which is what I use to bypass the restrictions at my high school. The fix, or what I do, is I setup my own servers. The price of a vps server at digital ocean is like 4 dollars a month, probably around the same price if not cheaper than expressvpn. Get yourself one, setup your own proxy server and connect to that. You can search around for tutorials, but the one I use is VMESS+TCP, essentially disguising the proxy traffic as a tcp packet so that the school can't distinguish it from regular traffic. Find a tutorial online, probably ask around on here: https://github.com/net4people/bbs If you followed a guide and still can't get it to work, your gna have to find an unblocked port. I would try 443 or 123 first since usually those aren't blocked but for my school 3478 is the one that works.
