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.

Debian 12 doesn't have readproc.h
Per https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/issues/1453 , it looks as though bookworm is affected by the badly-thought-out https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/commit/d974f064b5a269fe8bd009d1430d17218aaf07b7

Curious `ps` behavior.
The ps you have on Linux (almost certainly from procps-ng) tries to be compatible with about half a dozen different Unix versions of ps. This is why it has so many different ways of requesting the same information. The output format produced by these methods corresponds to the ways those other pss worked.

systeroid: A more powerful alternative to sysctl(8) with a terminal user interface 🐧
FYI sysctl is already implemented in C and it is very legacy at this point: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/newlib/sysctl.c

ugrep 3.7.5 released + announcing the Google OSPB award for work on ugrep
But not pgrep as it's a binary from procps-ng to find processes by name.

Originally posted on /r/debian, thought yall would enjoy too. Does anyone see any other way I can reduce my ram at idle? currently averages 390mb-420mb ram.
They fixed this like 7 years ago.

Simula the Forgotten Programming Language
>It remained in the "getty" process for some time, well into the {Free,Net,Open}BSD era.
Still there in agetty: https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/blob/master/term-ut... And, I imagine in other getty implementations.

Don't abuse su for dropping user privileges (2015)
TIOCSTI is irrelevant. When one is dropping privileges, in a system cron job or in a process supervised by one's favourite service management system, there is no terminal involved. TIOCSTI simply doesn't enter into the picture at all.
Only when one is in a terminal login session and using su to elevate / add privileges, does TIOCSTI become relevant. But no-one here is saying not to use su to add privileges.
People blame su, sudo, and (as the person at https://github.com/slicer69/doas/issues/110 did) doas for this feature of operating system kernels. The right thing to do with TIOCSTI it to just eliminate it from the kernel. OpenBSD did back in version 6.
Sadly, the argument from Alan Cox, Linux developer, when this was proposed years ago was that it should stay in Linux, and all of the programs like su, sudo, and doas should have even more things to do in the parent process that sticks around, namely pump I/O to and from a controlling pseudo-terminal that su/sudo/doas sets up for the shell subprocess, breaking (as the maintainer of OpenDoas pointed out) the long-standing notion that the child processes belong to the same terminal session and share things like a single getlogname() with the login shell.
6 years after https://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2017/05/10/3... and https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/06/03/9, there is no sign of anyone doing anything of the sort in any su or doas implementation. (It was briefly in one su implementation, but taken out in 2017 for being a "stupid hack": https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/23f75093264a...)
Fortunately, some six months ago Linux developers finally made TIOCSTI removable and the right course of action is available to those that want it: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221228205726.rfevry7ud6gmttg5...

Desktop Suddenly Failing to Boot - what are these error messages?
Huh, I will try this later. Bit confused by the instructions on the Archwiki but I think I can figure it out. Thanks so much for the help. Btw, it seems you were right on what was wrong. Good eyes.

So, this script serves as a pretty good wall replacement (wall will strip all escape/control sequences other than \007, by the way).

Would you use/try snaps if it has open source backend?
if anbody actually at Canonical is reading this and wants me (and others) to take snaps seriously, please consider submitting pull requests to some of the core cli tool projects impacted by the way you guys abuse the loop device mechanism. Something simple like the ability to export HIDE_SNAP_MOUNTS=1 that gets picked up by the impacted tools in util-linux (lsblk, mount, blkid, fdisk, etc) and gnu coreutils (du, df) and simply hides the lines related to loop device mounts would go a long way - preferably only the ones added by snap but even an option to hide all of them would be better than nothing.

Are DOS utilities open source.
Also a data format. Reasonably easy to find a spec (the wikipedia article should be sufficient to implement it). Also reasonably easy to find Free Software implementations, such as fdisk.
