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.

SIMH – Old Computer Emulator
It sounds like there was a config option available to disable the signature addition to the image file ( https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/1059#issuecomment-108689... ). I could see a benefits for having an embedded image signature for preservation and corruption detection issues.
I don't think complaining about the design is toxic, but recruiting uninvolved people on twitter, and harassing out of ban certainly is. Also reading the bug thread it seems the person with the issue wasn't the same as the one who instigated the harasment. (https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/1059#issuecomment-108675...)

Multics Simulator
Perhaps, however, SIMH (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/, https://opensimh.org/) also calls itself a simulator rather than an emulator. Six of one, half dozen of the other, I guess!

Anyone know how to attach a network device to a simulated VAX in simh?
I looked into this recently too, given the large amount of instructions at https://github.com/simh/simh/blob/master/0readme_ethernet.txt I decided it was too much bother for now.

Pico_1140: A PDP11/40 emulator that will run Unix v5/v6 on a Raspberry Pi Pico
In case anyone was wondering:
> The de facto emulator for most old computers is Simh https://github.com/simh/simh. The size and complexity of the individual machine apps is such that a direct port to a memory limited system is not feasible.

GCC gets a new frontend for Rust
VAX has its die hard fans, and the historical value of the VAX and what it did to shape our computing world can't be overstated. As both a learning tool and a way to preserve history, simh and VAX emulation are wonderfully accessible. VAX running modern NetBSD does an excellent job illustrating where performance regressions happen and where bad assumptions are made. None of these are compelling reasons to target a new toolchain to a classic architecture by themselves, but the interest is there.

Zork compiled from MDL source code
A long time ago you posted a suggestion in the original SIMH GitHub as an issue to have Interlan NI1010A added. https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/380

Good emulator for debugging RWTS code?
AppleWin debugger dev here. Please raise a feature request and I'll add it to my backlog of debugger features.

Testing Generic RAM card
I added Saturn LC support a few years back that has the gory details about the I/O bank switching which extended the 16KB LC. IIRC I used the Saturn System Disk to test that the LC was working according to the specs.

New release of Total Replay
I occasionally look for AppleWin feedback/questions but the main place us devs hang out is on Usenet's comp.emulators.apple2 and on GitHub but note that our GitHub and UseNet is for bugs/feedback and not help with specific Apple 2 software. That's what comp.sys.apple2 is for.

First stage of project CompuSar is nearing completion
Understood. We've been tracking down the odd LSS (Logic State Sequencer) bugs of the drive controller in AppleWin. You might be able to reach out to Tom if you have questions. Better yet would be to hit up usenet c.s.a2 to post questions there.

Ask HN: How can I break into retro computers?
The least expensive way to try things out is, of course, via emulation, and there's very active work and archiving being done for early 8-bit microcomputers such as Apple II, Commodore 64, TRS-80 and Atari machines. Apple emulators, such as Virtual ][ (http://virtualii.com) and AppleWin (https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin) at least, let you emulate not only the Apple II but CP/M as well. There's old hardware out there as well, with all the problems associated with it.
For other old systems, such as the PDPs, Vaxen and others, there's simh (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ and https://github.com/simh/simh).
