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.

C++ Exit-Time Destructors
Only in trivial cases. The problem is when another part of the program holds a function pointer (eg callback) into the library which has been unloaded.
libvirt has long been linked with -Wl,nodelete to avoid this:

Using baremetal Asahi Linux (Ubuntu) on M1 Mac Minis for homelab
So, next I setup cockpit and cockpit-machines, which works to create VMs (via cockpit-machines) but they use tcg/qemu i.e. emulation and no KVM based h/w acceleration - my test VMs were very slow! I figured out while qemu+KVM works on command line, it doesn't work and the culprit was libvirt! After discussing with the good folks on #asahi channel and with tobhe (Ubuntu-Asahi creator), I gathered enough evidence to conclude libvirtd doesn't know the "right" qemu commands to exec and logged my findings to the libvirt project https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/365 (which can probably use some of the community noise, to expedite the fix).

How to fix onboard Intel Bluetooth Error Code 10 on Windows guest
The issue stems from a change in libvirt. Libvirt is responsible for parsing all your VM's XML and turning it into a QEMU command. Somewhere between libvirt version 6.6 and version 6.9, there was a slight change in the way USB devices are passed to QEMU, and obviously libvirt followed suit. As a result, some USB passthrough configurations, such as the MacOS one in the thread, as well as the onboard bluetooth for windows suffered errors.

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.
