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.

From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
We started off doing this, but you end up with enormous diffs which are themselves confusing. Example, only about 5% of this change is non-generated:

Microsoft: Windows 10 22H2 is the final version of Windows 10
And inside the registry. The apparently correct way to distinguish them is using the build ID:

QEMU Version 6.0.0 Released
There's a lot of useful command-line tooling for KVM and QEMU-based virt. Here's a small selection of useful tools:
• virsh — This[1] is libvirt's shell interface; and gives you access to the rich set of libvirt APIs.
• virt-builder — Use this for rapidly building minimal or customized virtual machines; it's greatly flexible; check out its man page[2]. And here's[3] a quick example that connects both virt-builder and virsh together.
• virt-install — Use this if you don't like the default build of the template images from virt-builder; it lets you create "headless" servers via 'kickstart' and Linux OS trees from the command-line.
• guestfish and libguestfs suite[4] — This rich set of tools help you in a variety of use-cases: repairing your broken disk images, editing, cloning, debugging disk images, and more. It has saved my behind a lot of times.
• qemu-img[5] – This Swiss Army knife lets you powerfully manipulate disk images (QCOW2, raw, et al) offline. Example operations include: create images, backing chains, offline snapshots, disk image merging, and convert disk images from one format to another, and more.

How to use Python libraries effectively when they aren't in PyPI?
That's a good point. As long as the project has a setup.py or pyproject.toml available, it can usually be installed from the repo. For libguestfs it looks like they do some pre-processing on their setup.py so that wouldn't work, it's lucky that they had this alternative set up already. :)

Probably the Simplest Way to Install Debian/Ubuntu in QEMU
Nah, this virt-install preseed script is faster, or even just run virt-builder debian-10 and they're both libvirt not hacky qemu scripts

Damn Small Linux 2024
I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).
I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

How do I update one of these premade ESP32 boards?
My computer is running Void Linux and it has only a wired network connection. I can hook up my phone for USB tethering if I need to connect to the WiFi of the ESP32. How do I update the software without downloading some shady programs from filesharing site links on my system? I have the Arduino IDE and the esptool.py script installed.

Hyphens, minus, and dashes in Debian man pages
Classic "everyone is using the software wrong, but it's the fault of everyone, and not the software".
Some distros like Void seem to patch this out.[1]
From mandoc/mdocml's mandoc_char(7) [2]
In roff(7) documents, the minus sign is normally written as ‘\-’. In manual pages, some style guides recommend to also use ‘\-’ if an ASCII 0x2d “hyphen-minus” output glyph that can be copied and pasted is desired in output modes supporting it, for example in -T utf8 and -T html. But currently, no practically relevant manual page formatter requires that subtlety, so in manual pages, it is sufficient to write plain ‘-’ to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.
Which is the common-sense thing to do.
Meanwhile, GNU projects become increasingly less relevant due to obnoxiousness like this.
In general the amount of wankery of "the correct hyphen" is staggering.

Thoughts on Void Linux?
So I was about to configure a new Archlinux build on my PC and came across Void Linux. I had already read about it a year ago but never researched it in depth. I know that is a Linux distribution made from scratch, with a different package manager and so on. Void Linux users or people who have tried it, what are your thoughts on it? Do you think the PM is easy to use? what about updates and bugs? what desktop or Tilling Window Manager do you use? could you tell me about it?
