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.

Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
A lot of software (including https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect of which I'm a maintainer) uses libxml2, which in turn transitively links to libzma, using it to load and store compressed XML.
I'm not *too* worried about OpenConnect given that we use `libxml2` only to read and parse uncompressed XML…
But I am wondering if there has been any statement from libxml2 devs (they're under the GNOME umbrella) about potential risks to libxml2 and its users.

Actual SSH over HTTPS
From the article:
> Ubiquitous presence of HTTPS allows you to pass your data through very restrictive middle boxes!
This is, in fact, why all — or nearly all — proprietary VPN protocols (so-called "SSL VPNs") implement a mode that initiates a tunnel via HTTPS, at least as a fallback if not as the primary mode of operation: precisely in order to have a mode of operation that works with almost any connection to the global Internet.
I'm one of the main developers of https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect, which implements many such protocols, and wrote https://github.com/dlenski/what-vpn, which sniffs or identifies even more flavors of TLS-based VPN servers.

OpenConnect stopped working: Unexpected 404 result from server
Found the solution: It's as simple, as changing the user agent with --useragent=AnyConnect. This is ridiculous. https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/544

Which SLT package is better if I want the best consistent speed? would they reduce the speed in the unlimited package?
I personally have an openconnect server, and I patched their client to let me specify the SNI, (it's set to the server's hostname by default (https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/blob/master/gnutls.c#L2366), but it's optional in the anyconnect protocol spec)

GlobalProtect from PaloAlto: "Cannot connect to local gpd service."
Thank you, trying openconnect for multiple hours, but cannot auth, created issue about that https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/446

Overriding a minimum EC2 sizing from a vendor
If this is for anything other than AnyConnect I feel like you're better off with a t4g.nano running OpenVPN. If it's AnyConnect, you can run OpenConnect.

Create second MacOS VM within MacOS install
I had similar issue with Fortinet VPN. Try using something like https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect. Run this from terminal to connect to VPN when needed. If this doesn't work search for global protect open source and there are other options.
