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.

How to own your own Docker Registry address
> In their updated policy, it appears they now won't remove any existing images, but projects who don't pay up will not be able to publish any new images
This is not correct. It's the "organization" features are going away. That is the feature which lets you create teams, add other users to those teams, and grant teams access to push images and access private repositories. Multiple maintainers can still collaborate on publishing new images through use of access tokens which grant access to publish those images. It's kind of a hack, but it works. You would typically use these access tokens with automated CI tools anyway. This will require converting the organization account to a personal user (non-org) account. (Interesting note/disclosure: I was the engineer who first implemented the feature of converting a personal user account into an organization account some time around 2014/2015, but I no longer work there.)
For open source projects which are not part of the Docker Official Images (the "library" images [1]), they announced that such projects can apply to the Docker-Sponsored Open Source Program [2].
I would also heed the warning from the author of this article:
> Self-hosting a registry is not free, and it's more work than it sounds: it's a proper piece of infrastructure, and comes with all the obligations that implies, from monitoring to promptly applying security updates to load & disk-space management. Nobody (let alone tiny projects like these) wants this job.
Having most container images hosted by a handful of centralized registries has its problems, as noted, but so does an alternative scenario where multiple projects which decided to go self-hosted eventually lack the resources to continue doing so for their legacy users. Though, I suppose the nice thing about container images is that you can always pull and push them somewhere else to keep around indefinitely.

Docker's deleting Open Source images and here's what you need to know
Indeed. While I do maintain two of them, that maintenance is effectively equivalent to being an open source maintainer or open source contributor. I do not have any non-public knowledge about the Docker Official Images program. My interaction with the Docker Official Images program can be summed up as “my PRs to docker-library/official-images” (https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pulls/TimW...) and the #docker-library IRC channel on Libera.Chat.

Oracle per-employee Java pricing causes concern
"AdoptOpenJDK up until now was producing OpenJDK binaries with both Hotspot and OpenJ9 VM's. With Adopt's move to Eclipse, legal restrictions prevent the new Eclipse Adoptium group from producing/releasing OpenJ9 based binaries. As a result, IBM will be producing OpenJ9 based binaries in 2 flavours, Open and Certified, both under the family name IBM Semeru Runtimes. Essentially the same binaries, released under different licenses."

1 Million Docker pulls and more container updates
We’ve also officially release containers for ppc64le available on all the major registries and we’ve also gone ahead and updated our containers to 8.5.4 and patched against the latest security updates where applicable. 18 packages have been updated and you can see that work here.

How could the early Unix OS comprise so few lines of code?
Not only early Unix; look at the original inet_addr implementation [0]. It accepts not only "0x" but also just "x" as the 16-base prefix, it doesn't really care about the numbers overflowing, and it parses 09 as equal to 011 (which is decimal 9). And the less said about the coding style, the better.

Backward Compatibility, Go 1.21, and Go 2
No need to guess. My man page for inet_aton says it comes from 4.3BSD: https://github.com/dank101/4.3BSD-Reno/blob/master/lib/libc/...
The earlier inet_addr from 4.2BSD has the same logic: https://github.com/dank101/4.2BSD/blob/master/lib/libc/inet/...
inet_aton and inet_addr parses addresses the obvious way. Using something like strtoul or especially sscanf would be stilted. The beauty of C pointers is that it makes simple parsing tasks very easy--perhaps too easy.

There is no such thing as a “glibc based alpine image”
It probably made sense in 1983.
