The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

OpenWrt 23.05
It's work in progress: https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/blob/development/docs/ar...
Newer version have okay-ish support, I'd guess the next OpenWRT release will have it again.

How can I disable the close_notify message?
It's related to this Mbed-TLS issue

DIY Physical Backed Tokens (EIP-5791) with ESP32 and BLE
i've used the entropy generator from MbedTLS which uses multiple sources of randomness, and seeding it additionally with the chip's mac address and the free heap size at time of creation. it would take a lot to recreate all that "noise" consistently, but i'm open to suggestions on how to make it more secure

Help libraries won’t work on the IDE for esp32
However on the github page and assuming I found the right source - and this is a HUGE ASSUMPTION - there is a section on porting the library to other platforms.

redbean: a single-file actually portable web server with Lua, HTTPS and SQLite
Rebean is a single executable written in ANSI C that embeds Lua 5.4, MbedTLS and SQLite. The crazy thing about this is that it is a C binary that runs on six operating systems without any cross compiling thanks to leveraging Justine Tunney's cosmopolitan.

Install mbedTLS on Linux
it looks like the commands are all built under https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/tree/development/programs and the arch mbedtls package does some extra work to rename them and copy them into /usr/local/bin: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/mbedtls/trunk/PKGBUILD#L55

Elliptic Curve Cryptography Explained
If you want to see a real implemention of arbitrary sized integer math, mbedTLS is a great example:
https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob/development/library/...
All of the ECC code in that library relies on this code, which can be accelerated by dedicated hardware.

WireGuard implementation for LwIP stack
Definitely, FreeRTOS + LwIP + Mbed TLS is a fairly common combo these days, and Mbed TLS has hardware acceleration where possible.

Help running crystal on remote server
However, you should be able to use a different version of the library that is compatible with your system. Maybe you can install the development package for `libevent` via the system package manager? That should assure a working state. Otherwise you should be able to download a compatible version from https://libevent.org/ (either binary or source and build it yourself).

Understand the underlying Javascript - event loop
They're different. Node uses libuv while chromium uses libevent. You're also seeing different APIs for working with the event loop like nextTick() in Node that doesn't exist in browsers.
