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.

Minix development has been abandoned, with no updates in almost 5 years
The pull requests list is better than the issues list.
This non-bug asks for a video on how to use OpenSSH:
* https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...
This one was fixed in 2017:
* https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...
This non-bug asks for where to start when learning:
* https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...
I've gone through quite a few of these at random, for this and another comment on this page, and this one is the first one that is even close to an outstanding bug, and it's only open because the pull request that fixed the problem back in 2020 hasn't been merged yet.

Minix from Scratch
The original is forever frozen in time as a memorial to Terry’s genius, but there is an (at least somewhat) actively maintained fork, which has added features of which Terry himself would not have approved - https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/ZealOS is the main one, which was last updated only a couple of months ago; Minix’s last commit appears to have been in 2018 - https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix
But maybe that’s the answer for MINIX too - maybe one of the people who have authored all those unreviewed PRs might start a community-based fork. If all the activity moves to the fork, there is a chance the originators might officially bless it

MINIX From Scratch: Making it easy to run and compile MINIX
If I’m looking correctly , your repository repo only includes this part of the minix repo and not the other tools, correct?

Any good resources on making a C implementation of the Unix ls command?

Some remotely exploitable Linux kernel WiFi vulnerabilities
> Be the change you want to see in the world.
I have made dozens of commits to MINIX3, including a brand-new ISO 9660 file system implementation (https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...).
I have made more than a hundred commits to SerenityOS (https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/commits?author=boricj).
Just because I deplore the general state of security in mainstream operating systems doesn't mean that I demand that someone else does something about it for free.
I'm not paid to fix security bugs in the Linux kernel, do you expect me to fix these myself for free just because you want to? No one is entitled to my own free time spent hacking on random stuff.

When will MINIX 4 came out?
Not a lot of activity on the github. Minix

30 years ago....on this day.....this is how Linux started. Rest is history! Happy bday #linux
It is practically abandoned, since at least 2017. The minix3 group is somewhat active, but it is mostly from students asking questions. The git repo is still up, and there is a GitHub with slow, but not stopped activity.
- Ask HN: Is Minix dead? No commits since 2018

Have you compiled a custom *BSD kernel before? (similar to a poll on a linux subreddit asking the same question for that OS)
Yes. It's incredibly easy with NetBSD, and while the GENERIC kernel works for most cases, you might sometimes want to change a few things or remove unused things.

WireGuard has finally landed in FreeBSD
If anyone wants to review the NetBSD implementation, see:

Is there such a thing as idiomatic C?
I would disagree with the responses that say there isn't much in the way of idiomatic C. C is a domain-specific language for writing operating systems, so, I would take a look at the Linux kernel, the source code for the different BSDs, etc. The Linux kernel even has its own style guide (which, incidentally, recommends against using that of the GNU project, also worth taking a look at). There's also a style called Kernel Normal Form (KNF), developed by none other than the authors of C and UNIX themselves. I'd also suggest Kernighan and Ritchie's The C Programming Language.

grep /etc/words in browser?
You can view /etc/words in any unix source repository and use the search function. Modern unices keep the wordlist somewhere else, like here: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/trunk/share/dict/web2
