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: I built a self-hosted status page and monitoring tool for my projects
Hey mate, I'm using https://healthchecks.io/ for heartbeat monitoring my crons. It's been working flawlessly for quite some time now. The UI is super clean and easy to navigate. It's also free up to 20 monitored jobs. Note - I'm not in any way related to that project.

Webhooks suck, but here are alternatives
In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.
Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

What do you use for external monitoring?

Show HN: OnlineOrNot – Cron Job Monitoring
Is there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?

Prioritize IPv4 over IPv6 in dual stack
Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. the only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.
- Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?
- Show HN: Peeng – like Pingdom, but the other way around and simpler

Detecting and alerting for power failures
i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.

Managing re-occurring tasks - Daily/weekly/monthly
We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.

Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes
I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.
The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.
That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.

Ask HN: What is the correct way to deal with pipelines?
"correct" is a value judgement that depends on lots of different things. Only you can decide which tool is correct. Here are some ideas:
- https://camel.apache.org/
- https://www.windmill.dev/
- https://github.com/huginn/huginn
Your idea about a queue (in redis, or postgres, or sqlite, etc) is also totally valid. These off-the-shelf tools I listed probably wouldn't give you a huge advantage IMO.

Are you using Huginn? If so do you have any latest documentation?
Huginn (https://github.com/huginn/huginn) has like some 39K stars on Github and the use cases it covered looks good.

Generate RSS feed for any website using CSS selectors
Huginn is an another useful tool that allows you to wrangle CSS selectors and XPath nodes to create RSS feeds.
I use it quite successfully to get data out of undocumented APIs and out into RSS.

LLM Powered Autonomous Agents
"not a single word about the safety implications of such a system"
Oh please. Not everything has to be regulated-to-hells before a use case is even found on this. Autonomous agents have existed for decades.
If it can automate agents like huginn[0] with natural language, I'd be very happy. Autonomous agents doesn't mean it's going to take over the world autonomously. Let's lower the fearmongering a bit.
