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.

Nix-Powered Development with OCaml
copy the extracted files over to the nix output dir, and patch-elf all the binaries to link to the nix-version of the dynamic lib.
This sounds more difficult than it is, the result will be a copied over binary file that has its “libc.so” and other dynamic libs replaced in the ELF-header with “/nix/store/hdjdewuieu737-libc/libc.so”. I recommend looking up a package in nixpkgs which has a similar install story, that’s the easiest way to write a new package.
In case you only want to run it locally https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-alien and similar programs work fine with the binary.

Gentoo Users: What are your thoughts on NixOS? Have you used it before? How do you think it compares to Gentoo?
You might be interested in tools like nix-alien which help, though to some extent it's always going to be an annoyance.

Arch + NixOS at once?
There's also nix-alien to run random binaries and nixos-fhs-compat to FHS your OS (might need some tweaking).

LTC Address Modification
There is a tool to make 'vanity addresses' here: https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus you can specify a prefix and it will make billions of keys to find the key to an address with your prefix. You could then import this key to core, or whatever wallet you prefer.

how feasible is brute forcing last 14 chars of a key
One could easily hack the bitcrack code for beckh32 but checkout vanitygen use -Z to specify the known part of the key https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus I’m fairly sure it can do bech32 out of the box

NixOS 22.11 “Raccoon” Released
I run NixOS, but I'm relatively new to Nix. A couple weeks ago I was trying to get an old vanity key generator to build because it wasn't on nixpkgs (vanitygen++) and on a lark I decided to write my own derivation using some examples of similar C++ packages I found and figuring out what nix packages it needed to build. So I did, and the maintainer accepted the PR: https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus/commit/7bcee06f3... Note that I am not a C++ developer and only know the basics about how to get C/C++ things to build.
So what does this get us? In theory, this is now trivially-buildable on any distro that has nix installed, or on nixos. I haven't converted it to a flake yet (still learning that) but if I (or someone else) did, it would be deterministically reproducible anywhere on nix.
I agree that there's a learning curve on figuring out the "recipe" for a thing, but once someone does that work, it's basically done forever. Which is a promise that no other system can even approach.
And once you figure out a certain amount of it, this moment will come where you realize you want every system you deal with to be Nixified. Like the guy elsewhere in this thread who rebuilt his own router using NixOS and loves it.
Getting new developers up to speed in your shop's dev environment? Completely trivial to do with Nix. Getting a machine back up after a failure? Reinstall NixOS and reapply the config you were using (which is in source control). Upgraded Gnome and some things you need broke? Or updated your GPU driver and now your screen just shows black? Simple... Roll back in the bootloader to a previously-working config, then undo your changes to the config definition.
NixOS (and very honorable mention to Guix) are in fact the only ways to run Linux while keeping your sanity intact!

It probably wouldn't be that hard to package.
For example, I committed this to a fork of a C++ package a few days ago just to be able to build it in Nix; it's literally just 1 step away to go from building it here to putting this in nixpkgs but I don't want to be responsible for it (I've also never taken that step yet) and it also doesn't (yet) use Flakes: https://github.com/10gic/vanitygen-plusplus/blob/master/defa...
In theory, though, you'd just have to find a similar Node example out there and crib off its nix config/build file. And if you converted it to a flake, you'd have a guaranteed-reproducible build (but then you'd also be responsible for updating it). Perhaps that's why nixpkgs has one of the highest package counts in the Linux space of package managers.
