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 do you keep easyeffects filter always active?
The second is to always keep EasyEffects running. I do it running it in the background. But how do you intend to do so? Call it at startup or with a script? I made a script to toggle its execution:

Mouse events don't get registered when the pointer is on top of Google Chrome. Is there a way to circumvent that?
I have a spare wireless mouse I keep on my nightstand and I made a script to modify its behavior to control media stuff. It's working fine, but not on Chrome specifically. Any mouse even isn't registered at xinput --test DEVICE_ID.

How to change the threshold of the running out of space notification?
I have a script that's called when KDE detects low space, but the threshold is too low for my needs. Is there a way to change it?

Prime Video on Proton
Oh, really? Try using my customization.cfg. Don't just copy it, since added a custom installation path to /opt. I basically changed these:
- Where do you guys store your dot files

Which part of your Linux machine have you customized the most?
I have some scripts I use on a daily basis here: https://github.com/rizzini/Dotfiles/tree/master/Documentos/scripts

What automation scripts have you already developed?
I have about 20. 15 of them are here. I may be off here, but where are yours? I'd like to check them out, but I couldn't find any in the link you provided.

sbctl
- Show HN: Sbctl – Secure Boot key manager

Show HN: SSH-tpm-agent – SSH agent for TPMs
No, this isn't true nor correct.
Secure Boot and TPM do offer tangible security benefits and is security features you can take ownership of.
Secure Boot allows your own key hierarchy, and TPM allows you to take ownership.
The linked boot disk isn't really proof that Secure Boot is useless. If you don't set a MOKManager password (as you should), and you change the security state of the machine while present at the keyboard. Yes you can boot things.
This is intended to make sure people can actually decide to trust things. And having insecure defaults makes this less useful. Not very surprising.
TPMs could also prevent attacks like this on your machine.
Incidentally I've invested quite a bit of time in making user-friendly Secure Boot tooling as well. https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl

Enabling secure boot for your Arch installation is very easy now with the "sbctl" tool
No problem! The sbctl package ships with a pretty extensive hook out of the box (https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl/blob/master/contrib/pacman/ZZ-sbctl.hook). It's been very reliable for automatically resigning .efi executables after updates for me.

sbctl fails to find EFI system partition
sbctl verify returns failed to find EFI system partition despite it definitely is there. It's the same issue as this but remounting or restarting doesn't fix it.

[Kinoite/Silverblue]Decrypt LUKS volumes with a TPM on Fedora 35+

Setting up secure boot while dual booting Windows 11 and Arch Linux
By far the easiest is to use sbctl to generate, install and use keys to sign your efi images. You can use mkinitcpio to build the unified kernels automatically and a pacman trigger to rerun the sbctl signing when the kernel is updated. Pretty straightforward (once you've done it once).

Intel OEM Private Key Leak: A Blow to UEFI Secure Boot Security
The question is whether you have any UEFI drivers or not. If they're in the ESP you can just look there to check, but UEFI drivers can also be loaded from PCI cards or baked in the firmware itself.
If you're using a TPM for Secure Boot, you can use the command in https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl/wiki/FAQ#option-rom to know for sure.
What are some alternatives?
yadm - Yet Another Dotfiles Manager
mortar - Framework to join Linux's physical security bricks.
HumanBash - bashrc and inputrc modifications for a more intuitive commandline experience, primarely for use with Konsole
mkinitcpio - Arch Linux initramfs generation tools (read-only mirror)

zorin-exec-guard - Zorin Exec Guard shows a warning when attempting to run unknown Linux or Windows executables and offers more trusted alternatives.
