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.

We Replaced Firecracker with QEMU
I didn't want to go into all the technical details, but we have another write-up that goes into details about RAM management: https://github.com/hocus-dev/hocus/blob/main/rfd/0003-worksp...
Other than making sure we release unused memory to the host, we didn't customize QEMU that much. Although we do have a cool layered storage solution - basically a faster alternative to QCOW2 that's also VMM independent. It's called overlaybd, and was created and implemented in Alibaba. That will probably be another blog post. https://github.com/containerd/overlaybd

Google Cloud Workstations managed development environment is now GA
If you’d rather use a self-hosted alternative, we are building Hocus [0]. It’s still in alpha, but already supports prebuilds, VSCode, shared environment variables, and more.

Reproducing the printer hack of Windows 95
It's still being updated. I don't see anything on the virt-manager homepage or GitHub that would suggest it is deprecated.
https://virt-manager.org/
https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager
It can't do literally everything Qemu/libvirt can do using only the UI, but given that it has escape hatches to directly edit libvirt configurations, and libvirt has escape hatches to directly pass arguments to Qemu, there's very little you can't do with it.

Proxmox VE: Import Wizard for Migrating VMware ESXi VMs
I would love to see a serious comparison (features & performance) between VMWare ESXi, Proxmox VE and let's say a more stock RHEL or Ubuntu. And maybe even include FreeBSD/bhyve.
Because yes, in terms of core functionality it should be in the same ballpark. And in terms of UI, Virtual Machine Manager [0] was not that bad.

Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines
Shout out to https://virt-manager.org/ - works much better for me, supports running qemu on remote systems via ssh. I used to use this all the time for managing bunches of disparate vm hosts and local vms.

Oracle data base
If not, I would just run a CentOS Stream 8 virtual machine using either GNOME Boxes or virt-manager, and set up networking and ssh so you can access the database from the host.

Cockpit: Web-based graphical interface for servers
I'd say it is half-baked webmin. You can only use it with NetworkManager, and if you have an even remotely complex network setup for VMs, NetworkManager usually must be turned off, which makes Cockpit practically unusable. virt-manager [1] is way more powerful for those who like managing VMs with GUI.
