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.

Hackers exploited Windows 0-day for 6 months after Microsoft knew of it
I don't think that's a good example. While Apache devs are volunteers and Microsoft devs are employees, they were criticized for their slow response time and seeming lack of urgency until it was far too late.

The Dedicated Maintainers Behind Lesser-Known Open Source Projects
However, there are many open source projects that are widely used but not well-known, including cURL, ImageMagick, MyCLI, Homebrew, Apache Log4j, and OpenSSL. This article will take a closer look at these unsung heroes of the open source world. I do not want to give them a business model or financial advice in this article. This largely depends on the author's personal experience and values. I just want to raise more awareness about these open source projects.

Apache POI Setup Logging Error
What you need is log4j-core, what you downloaded is some kind of connector between log4j and JUL. Tbh I don't know what JUL is, but that's not important. You can get log4j-core on from the official website - https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ or in maven repo. In case you're not using maven, I highly, highly recommend you using it for managing your dependencies.

Log4Shell Still Has Sting in the Tail
> When it was first revealed in early December 2021, the Log4Shell bug was described as one of the most severe security vulnerabilities ever.
> The Apache Software Foundation, which maintains the open-source tool, quickly released a patch...
Apache horribly mismanaged this and did not release a patch until it was already widely known and being exploited in the wild. They also messed up and had to release several subsequent patches to actually fix the vulnerability.
Remember: this vulnerability was disclosed to them in November.

The best application security tool is education
As you might have guessed, I spend a lot of time thinking about application security - almost every day, in fact. At my day job, I'm constantly pondering how to enhance Kibana's security in a scalable manner without overburdening my already hardworking team. Outside of work, I'm equally dedicated to making Secutils.dev even more valuable to fellow engineers looking for better security tools.

Useful newsletters and podcasts for indie web developers
These newsletters are among the best sources to stay up-to-date with the latest happenings in JavaScript, web development, and Node.js. They conveniently categorize content into sections like new releases, articles & tutorials, and code & tools. Since I use JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js extensively, both in my day job and for Secutils.dev, I have to stay informed about developments in these essential tools. Usually, I quickly scan through the newsletter and focus only on the items that grab my attention — it doesn't consume much time but keeps me well-informed.

The cost of false positives in software security, Part 2: Large applications
This is the second part of my reflection sparked by the recent “2023 State of Open Source Security” report from Snyk. It got me thinking about the price we pay for false positives in software security. In my previous post, “The Cost of False Positives in Software Security, Part 1: Small Applications”, I talked about how true and false positives affect smaller applications like Secutils.dev. Now, I want to take the same idea and apply it to a much larger software that’s a big part of my daily work: Kibana.

The cost of false positives in software security, Part 1: Small applications
False positives in security are something that really bothers me, as I happen to work on security for both large applications like Kibana, with hundreds of contributors, and smaller ones like Secutils.dev, where I'm the sole developer.

What is the Role of AI in DevOps?
The increasing complexity of modern systems led to the rise of AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) and observability practices. AIOps leveraged machine learning algorithms to automate problem detection, analysis, and resolution. Observability focused on gaining insights into system behaviour through metrics, logs, and traces. As a result, tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) gained popularity.
