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.

Gokrazy – Go Appliances
Interesting, and thanks.
I didn't know about those. I kind of thought you may have used MirageOS, which I had read about earlier. It is done in OCaml.

What's Zig got that C, Rust and Go don't have? [video]
Unix system programming in OCaml (2014)
https://ocaml.github.io/ocamlunix/
"MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels for secure, high-performance network applications across a variety of cloud computing and mobile platforms."

PostgreSQL reconsiders its process-based model
That was/is part of the promise of the whole unikernel thing, no?
https://mirage.io/ or similar could then let you boot your database. That said, it's not really taken off from what I can tell, so I'm guessing there's more to it than that.

Writing an OS in Rust to run on RISC-V
MirageOS is not Rust, but in the ballpark!

Container runtime as a static binary?
OCaml MirageOS? https://mirage.io/
- OCaml 5.0 Multicore is out
- Ask HN: Operating Systems built with functional languages?

Is there an operating systems that is a runtime of a programming language?
MirageOS is a runtime for OCaml to create unikernels. They describe themselves as "library operating system". Probably not quite what you were asking for, but I think it's quite interesting for certain use cases (e.g. running services as standalone unikernels in VMs or embedded devices instead of "traditional" programs on top of a general purpose OS).

Release Radar • March 2024 Edition
Having been featured in our February 2023, and January 2024 Release Radars, Moby is the original Linux Container runtime. This new version adds a bunch of changes to the Docker CLI and Moby itself with additional features. There's bug fixes and enhancements, with the main thing for users to be on the look out for containers that were created using Docker Engine 25.0.0. These containers might have duplicate MAC addresses, and thus must be recreated. The same goes for those containers created with Moby 25.0+ and with user defined MAC addresses. Read up on all these changes in the release notes.

Choosing a Name for Your Computer
Formlabs does this as well for their 3d printers, my earliest encounter of this was when Docker started getting popular: https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/pkg/namesgenerator/...
- Docker Inc. refuses to patch HIGH vulnerabilities in Docker

Do not install Docker Desktop on GNU/Linux systems
Try to use moby instead since that is the engine in Docker.

Exploring Podman: A More Secure Docker Alternative
> Podman is designed to help with this by providing stronger default security settings compared to Docker. Features like rootless containers, user namespaces, and seccomp profiles, while available in Docker, aren't enabled by default and often require extra setup.
Seccomp has been enabled by default since 2015: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/18780
It is true that Rootless isn't enabled by default but its "extra setup" can be done with a single command (`dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install`)

OpenZFS 2.2: Block Cloning, Linux Containers, BLAKE3
Perhaps.
Thing is, https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/670bc0a46c4ca03b75f1e72f73... is using https://github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs which features code like `out, err := zfsOutput("get", "-H", key, d.Name)` (Source: https://github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs/blob/master/zfs.go#L315) to get a single zfs property.
Somebody chose to use a library as abstraction that looks good but is implemented as a MVP (nothing wrong with that). "In the future, we hope to work directly with libzfs" should have raised an alarm somewhere, though.
