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.

I Built Linux from Scratch
For something that's more of a prepackaged build-your-own-Linux kit, KISS Linux[0] is also interesting. It's kind of a microdistro with minimal abstraction over the raw guts, and "packages" are just pre-downloaded source code repos that you compile yourself.
The "package manager" is just a shell script. The installation process[1] is entirely manual, so you control every step as you bootstrap up to building your own kernel and installing each subsystem all the way up to compiling and running Firefox. It's pretty neat.

Currently i do not use Gentoo as my main distro, but i will eventually!

Quick question
A good Bash code to read is some projects from GH user dylanaraps a creator of neofetch and KISS Linux (kiss is a package manager written in POSIX sh) another repo to explore is bashbox (forked from dylanaraps/bareutils) A coreutils written in pure bash.

Published a new crate - service-manager - to interact with launchd, systemd, sc.exe, and more
See KISS for examples - this is a real desktop system used by some people (including me... hopefully)

I use NixOS for my home-server, and you should too!
As we covered in my last post, NixOS is a amazing Linux distribution for creating stable and declared environments. Now while this is amazing for a desktop setup, it is also perfect for a home-server or home-lab.

Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix
(Nix itself is slowly chugging along with Windows via MinGW - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-on-windows/1113/108 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1320 , for example.)

Colima k8s nix setup
Nix is a cross-platform package manager. It uses the nix programming language. Nix and NixOs are often used in the same context, but while the first is a package manager, the latter is a linux distribution based on nix.

NixOs - Your portable dev enviroment
Today I want to talk to you about Nixos. What is it? Nixos is a declarative and reproducible OS, partly taking the words used on their own page. What does that mean?

Nix – A One Pager
Software developers often want to customize:
1. their home environments: for packages (some reach for brew on MacOS) and configurations (dotfiles, and some reach for stow).
2. their development shells: for build dependencies (compilers, SDKs, libraries), tools (LSP, linters, formatters, debuggers), and services (runtime, database). Some reach for devcontainers here.
3. or even their operating systems: for development, for CI, for deployment, or for personal use.
Nix provision all of the above in the same language, with Nixpkgs, NixOS, home-manager, and devShells such as https://devenv.sh/. What's more, Nix is (https://nixos.org/):
- reproducible: what works on your dev machine also works in CI in prod,
- declarative: you version control and review your configurations and infrastructure as code, at a reasonable level of abstraction,
- reliable: all changes are atomic with easy roll back.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Ask HN: Could Nix make crypto mining more efficient?
- it reduces bloat, because you can generate an environment or OS image with only the software needed to run a specific program or service
My guess is that a big efficiency gain would come from the second point, because you don't waste CPU on code that you don't use.
Does this make sense? Has anyone explored this?

Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
1) Setting up the development environment - I currently use devcontainers for most things, but may also dig into nix -> isolated, portable, repeatable development environment 2) Exploring Echo - understand routing, requests, response, etc. 3) Incorporate Templ - integration with Echo, template composition, etc. 4) Integrating TailwindCSS - config for use with Echo/Templ, development cycle, deployment, etc. 5) Add in HTMX - endpoints, template structure, concepts, etc. 6) hyperscript for interactivity - client side interactivity

Nixing Technological Lock In

Oh, wait a second, my bad, that's the quote on the box cover for Zork I: (

What you really wanted was a link to where you could download Nix/NixOS -- and/or learn more about it!
Here ya go!

"Your greatest challenge lies ahead -- and downwards..."
:-) :-)
I say all of the above in the spirit of humor -- and as a NixOS user and fan!
(But yes, there is a learning curve to it, so yes, learning Nix/NixOS could be a challenge!)
((But you're a bright person, you have Google and ChatGPT to assist you, and you like challenges!))
