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.

Dev corrupts NPM libs 'colors' and 'faker' breaking thousands of apps
Using a lockfile and checking in your dependency tarballs [1] can help insulate you from these problems until you're ready to face them.
I created shrinkpack before left-pad and thankfully it meant that we were unaffected.
A lot of developers, understandably, baulk at checking in dependencies, but there is a concrete benefit in being able to continue uninterrupted during outages.

GitHub Actions could be so much better

There's https://github.com/actions/cache though?

Optimizing GitHub Actions Performance: Enhance Workflows with Caching
Use Cache Actions: GitHub Actions provides cache actions that simplify caching implementation. The @actions/cache JavaScript library is a popular choice for managing caching in workflows. It offers flexible options for storing and retrieving cache artifacts based on keys, scopes, and paths.

Speeding up GitHub Actions with npm cache
GitHub maintain a set of repos called actions. One of which is called cache.

How I Sliced Deployment Times to a Fraction and Achieved Lightning-Fast Deployments with GitHub Actions
By utilizing the actions/cache action action, we implemented a strategy to store and retrieve dependencies, preventing redundant installations.

Use GitHub Actions to Make Your GitHub Profile Dynamic
I do think it's good practice to enable caching, such that your script doesn't hit RubyGems / pip / npm / etc every time it runs.
That way at least the automation activity stays entirely within the GitHub / Azure network.
It looks like you can do that for Ruby by adding this:

runner image with MS office installed - do-able? is there a better way?
You could try to find some point in the process where you can set up Actions caches with actions/cache, otherwise Container customization for Self-Hosted Runners is currently in Beta.

The strongest principle of the blog's growth lies in the human choice to deploy it
In the copied example, npm caching is done via actions/cache@v2 action. But we can simplify our workflow by dropping this step and using built-in functionality for caching
What are some alternatives?
presetter - 🛹 Reuse and manage build scripts, devDependencies and config files from your favourite presets, instead of copy and paste!
upload-artifact
slnpm - A simple and fast node.js package manager using symbolic link
sccache - Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage.
