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.

Filecoin Foundation Successfully Deploys IPFS in Space
> CDNs
If you think IPFS is trying to "re-spin CDNs as their invention", I'm pretty sure you misunderstand what IPFS. The homepage is a great starting point if you're curious rather than antagonistic: https://ipfs.tech/
> IPFS doesn't solve persistence of data
I don't think it claims to solve this either? What it does claim to solve is the persistence of identifiers of data.
> doesn't solve churn in p2p systems
What P2P system has ever done so or even claimed to have done so?

Build an AI-powered NFT generator with TS, GPT, Polygon and CASE (Part 1/2)
We will create a web app that will let users mint a NFT in one click: creating an AI art from a prompt, storing it on IPFS and mint the unique NFT in Polygon so you can see it on OpenSea. Pretty cool right ?

Alternative to Youtube Vimeo
I post a lot about IPFS, I was using the 'ipfs mount' to virtually offer my entire collection from my NAS (on a private 'swarm' of course) to the remote stations.

ImgBB/imgur self hosted alternative?
I've been on the IPFS bandwagon for a while.

Stable Diffusion Backups, git/lfs alternatives, OpenAI's attack on Open Source
This looks pretty promising; I am assuming this is what you are talking about? https://ipfs.tech/

Catbox.moe API
When first moving it to something new, ever considered https://ipfs.tech/ ? I wonder what the pain points would be making an imgur like system on top of that.

How do you/we share the stuff we hoard so those looking for stuff find it?
If you want it generally available, IPFS is a nice option. Then any other hoarders that pin/cache the data act as +1 source, similar but different to torrents. There are public gateways but they can get hammered with heavy traffic and aren't always the best.

Show HN: Scrapscript – The Sharable Programming Language
> Is this meant to be understood by geniuses or something?
Nope; anyone who has some basic programming knowledge and perhaps a high level understanding about how different programming languages work. And the ability to connect some dots together.
> “it’s JSON with types and functions and hashed references”
Another way to say this: it's executable YAML, which is a strict superset of JSON [1]. I like YAML, so that's what came to mind when looking at ScrapScript code. I also like clean, minimal syntax when I can get it, like YAML, CoffeeScript or Haml.
> “it’s a language with a weird IPFS thing”
I’ve been playing with IPFS [2] since its early days in 2015, though not much recently, though this will probably get me back into it. Content addressing solves a lot of problems that I won’t get into here but it’s certainly not that hard to grasp. IPFS is available for pretty much every browser these days and is integrated into the Brave browser [3].
> all programs are data
This concept has been around since the creation of Lisp in the 1950's. This enables all kinds of cool features the computer science types get excited about. I've known about this concept since the 80's when I used to teach kids Logo (which is a Lisp). The term used nowadays is homoiconicity [4] but that term wasn't in widespread use until fairly recently.
Bottom line: ScrapScript sounds very interesting and I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Has Cloudflare recently changed their TOS re use of tunnels for non-html content?
IPFS is like an open-source CDN (content delivery network).

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

You Can't Follow Me
Mastodon is free and open-source. Go ahead and add the flag:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING....
Thank you for your write-up, I ran into similar issues a couple of months back.
Another gripe with the technical implementation of mastodon is the CORS headers required to access the ActivityPub API [0].
Because of this issue, an activitypub-aware frontend for mastodon has to have its own mastodon server running, which adds a whole bunch of hurdles.

Youtube ad block on pc (ublock origin)
If you're looking for YouTube alternatives, you might be interested in PeerTube. PeerTube is to YouTube what Mastodon is to Twitter. (Plus PeerTube and Mastodon use the same federation technology. You can follow PeerTube accounts from inside Mastodon and vice versa.)

MathJax – Beautiful and accessible math in all browsers
Mathstodon ( https://mathstodon.xyz/about ) integrates this, forking/extending Mastodon to support inline LaTeX in Mastodon posts and equations, which get rendered by MathJax on the client side. I think that's neat.
- "This is important, since several math-based instances exist (such as https://mathstodon.xyz ,https://types.pl) and produce math-based posts. However, when these posts federate to other instances they cannot be rendered, since other instances do not have MathJAX installed. Thus, a more portable version based on open standards is necessary."
