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.

WebRTC for the Curious
> despite WebRTC mostly being about client/client communication
This is actually kind of a misconception, though it’s an understandable one given that WebRTC is almost always pitched as a peer-to-peer protocol.
In practice, most people using WebRTC for video are sending their video to a server, not directly to another client. It’s pretty safe to assume that most people who use your app are going to need TURN, and at that point, you’re not really doing peer-to-peer at all, so you might as well just have your browser-based app talk to a server that’s pretending to be another browser.
These servers (called Selective Forwarding Units or SFUs) can operate like a TURN server in the case of a one-on-one call, but they can also multiplex everyone’s feeds in the case of a larger conference (peer-to-peer 5 person calls would require each participant to send 4 copies of their video) and often have extra features like the ability to record calls, transcode streams or convert to other protocols.
The one I’ve used a lot is called Janus[0], it’s open source and has good docs, I recommend people check it out if they’re interested in getting deeper into WebRTC or other video streaming tech.

OpenTalk meeting software with Rust back-end open-sourced under EUPL
OpenTalk is a young project for creating online meeting software similar to Jitsi or BigBlueButton. It is a completely new development, and while it is not a fork of an existing open-source project, it integrates with other projects such as the Janus WebRTC server, Redis for volatile state, RabbitMQ for communication between server instances, and PostreSQL for persistent state.
- Jitsi: More secure, more flexible, and completely free video conferencing

What are good self-hosted WebRTC video solutions today?
I've been looking into Janus WebRTC Server due to the ability for Uv4L to join Janus rooms (I'm building a RaspberyyPi doorbell)
-
Looking for self hosted screen sharing/streaming solution
A related answer to the above is to check out Janus. It's a general purpose WebRTC server that has RTMP and FTL ingest support. I think it's also batteries not included, but I think it's what Glimesh is based on.

Low-latency audio streaming (local network)
I've been using Janus gateway for similar. Pretty easy to setup.

Live video calling - the Dyte way
A number of open-source projects also exist, which give developers a great head start if they're looking to build their own infrastructure - the most popular of these include Jitsi, Mediasoup, Janus, and Pion. These projects provide a layer of abstraction and expose a number of helper functions to perform various tasks, such as creating transports, etc. They have helpful guides on how to get started, but you would still face the aforementioned issues regarding scaling, resources, etc.

Casey Muratori: refterm and the philosophy of non-pessimization (how you can make programs run 100x faster without optimizations)
This all changes when you are actually a domain expert: You can treat the various components as a "white box" because you see the forest for the trees and can make cross-cutting assumptions which will inherently make the code faster. I've noticed a lot of projects written by domain experts are often these giant clusterfucks of C that violate pretty much every guideline there are so many Medium blogs about, and yet they're very stable and widely used. See: https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway for example.

Stop using Zoom, Hamburg’s data protection agency warns state government
Yes, there are many self-hosted options out there. https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway works well for multi-party video with up to about 15 users in a room assuming everyone has a reasonably reliable connection.

New plans for self-hosted Zulip customers
It's funny because recently there was some drama around Rocket Chat with release 6.5.0. They introduced a new "free" tier in addition to the "community" version where the latter introduced a user limit of 25. During the upgrade to 6.5.0 existing Rocket installations also were switched to the new "free" tier and thus got the new user limit. It was possible to uncheck some boxes to get back to "community" but it caused a lot of confusion among Rocket users/admins.

Self hosting Rocket.chat
I'm considering switching from Matrix / Element to rocket.chat for a small instance (< 10 people) I host for my friends. However there is something during the setup process that gives me pause:
-
Answer honestly: How many of you are gradually moving away from Discord to alternatives and how are you handling it?
Depends on what do you exactly mean, but the obvious answers to this question are either: Revolt, Matrix(for instance, Element, etc.), Guilded, etc. I suppose rocket.chat and Slack could be considered as well.

A few discord alternatives for you to look at
Revolt, Guilded, Element (Matrix Client), Matrix, Cinny (Matrix Client), Spacebar, Rocket Chat, Mikoto, Mattermost, Teamspeak and Nertivia
