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.

Linux Software: a curated list of Linux software
Nice! I'd add FreeCAD, and also the RealThunder fork https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD which adds enhancement(seems to be getting slowly merged to mainline).

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
Lithium Titanate batteries. Nothing else is lightweight, safe, currently available, and lasts 20000 cycles.
ESPHome. It's a framework for declaratively building firmware for microcontrollers, based on rules like "This pin is an input with debouncing, when it changes, toggle this".
Contributing to them has probably been the most fun I've had programming in years.
We just need power management, and a C++ implementation of the Native API client. It's so close to being able to replace most of what I'd normally code by hand in Arduino.

RealThunder's fork of FreeCAD: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD
They fix so many issues. Linear patterns can duplicate other linear patterns!
Vorta: It's the best backup technology I've seen. Just an easy guided GUI for Borg, which gives you deduplication. I just wish they let you deduplicate across multiple repositories somehow.

Dune 3D – an open source parametric 3D CAD app bassed on OCCT
JFTR, FCStd-files produced by RealThunder's LinkStage[0] (fork of FreeCAD) is not fully backward compatible with an official FreeCAD app, and wise versa.
So, if you are planning to use LinkStage app for some large project, be ready to use only one app for the whole project and be ready to lost in whole or in part compatibility with the users of an official FreeCAD.

RealThunder Snap channels
edge is where all the exciting new features got released. It contains the latest commit from the FreeCAD Link Branch (https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD). Unlike the convention, here, the user is encouraged to try the edge release, to help improve all new features so that they can one day land in upstream FreeCAD.

Github version with Midnight UI?
I downloaded this latest version 2023.01.31 from Github but i have no idea how to install it and if it is the right version that will work with Midnigh GUI.

BIM Workbench has no models in the Column tool?
My setup I'm using RealThunders 2023.05.21 release

"One transformed shape does not intersect support" when Mirrored
Alternative solution is to use Realthunder's build. It doesn't have that limitation in addition to a whole bunch of other QoL additions.

Link3/Realthunder MacOS Mojave
As for your question, better to open a ticket on realthunder's Link repo: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/issues

Just finished an Infinity cube remix (needed to print a smaller one and gaps can't be scaled). I created one block and one link using a spreadsheet and partdesign. I then cloned/mirrored and manually placed the rest of the blocks. Is there a better way?
I don't know for regular FC, but Realthunders Branch allows multiple solids in a PartDesign body, so with that one, you could use Multitransform to create a Mirror and linear pattern transformation (probably before adding the grooves for the links)

Sandboxing All the Things with Flatpak and BubbleBox
bubblewrap is designed as a low-level too. There is nothing quick and dirty about it. It disallows everything by default and you have to be explicit about what you want to share with the host. If your application needs complex permissions/resources, then you will need to have a complex bubblewrap command line.
Once you have figured out which permissions/resources you need for a given program, you can wrap the command line invocation in a shell script.
If you want other people to do the work of defining permissions/resources, then have a look at firejail: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
Firejail is cool: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail
Linux namespaces/cgroups but nowhere near as heavy as Docker.
I use it when I want to limit the memory of a Python script:

Toolship: A (More) Secure Workstation
Firejail can also be a useful option, though no good if you're on Mac https://firejail.wordpress.com/
Uses the same Linux primitives as docker etc, but can be a bit more ergonomic for this use case

Firejail: Light, featureful and zero-dependency security sandbox for Linux
Firejail, Flatpak (which uses Bubblewrap under the hood), and Snap (which uses AppArmor) all use the same underlying technology: Linux namespaces.
This question comes up a lot, and has been answered here: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/wiki/Frequently-Asked-...
TL;DR: Firejail has much more comprehensive features than Flatpak (Bubblewrap). Firejail also has more comprehensive network support, support for AppArmor and SELinux, and easier seccomp filtering.
Compared to Snap (which uses AppArmor), Firejail is compatible with AppArmor and again goes above and beyond with a lot of additional features.

Bubblewrap – Low-level unprivileged sandboxing tool used by Flatpak
Wonderful little tool, too bad you must chain various exec calling tools to get cgroups (a bit akin to `ionice ... nice ... cmd`) and Linux users namespaces can't allow UNIX sockets while preventing network access (I think?).
Migrated from Firejail when its complexity annoyed me too much and I hit https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3001 (Firejail doesn't like parens or brackets in --put/--get parameters) to a badly NIH version using bwrap and bash to have "profiles":
- Firejail: Light featureful and zero-dependency security sandbox for Linux
-
Do, or do not. There is no try
Firejail does this. The profile database is the two "profile" directories in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/tree/master/etc
