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.

OpenBSD cron(8) now supports random ranges with steps
Yes, I first learned this and the name "splay" from CFengine, back in the day.
I put together a small busybox-like collection of sysadmin tools, and one of the subcommands is "splay" to sleep for a random amount of time. It's one of those things that is useful surprisingly often, even outside cron.

The Rust Implementation of GNU Coreutils Is Becoming Remarkably Robust
I remember in 1999 there was a project to reimplement a bunch of these tools in perl:
https://perlpowertools.com/
I even contributed a little, back then. I guess writing basic versions of "ls", for example, is trivial. But there's a lot of work getting all the tools done, with all the flags implemented and behaving as expected.
I guess there are tools like busybox, toybox, and similar, which also implement a lot of "stuff" to varying degrees of completion. From my side the biggest takeaway from those projects is the sheer convenience of deploying a single binary and installing symlinks to change functionality.
I replicated something similar with my sysbox project, collecting tools together in one golang binary with various subcommands:
https://github.com/skx/sysbox
I use at least one of those tools on a daily basis, though I suspect they're not so universally useful.

Operating Systems
If you've got perl installed you'll might have a "GET" binary present, mine is /usr/bin/GET, which comes with the WWW-module.
Although this is written in portable perl, rather than being compiled, so the static vs. dynamic choice doesn't really mean much it is a simple alternative.
Otherwise I built a simple busybox-inspired collection of tools, written in golang, which includes a simple HTTP client too:
https://github.com/skx/sysbox
Those are just a couple of examples, I'm certain there are multiple other choices out there. But I guess curl is ubiquitous enough that most people just use it directly, and add it when missing!
- sysbox: sysadmin/scripting utilities, distributed as a single binary

M4 – the one true templating language
That's pretty cool.
I wrote something similar in my static collection of sysadmin tools - https://github.com/skx/sysbox - In my simple pre-processor I only allow two special things:
#include "file/goes/here"
-
Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
I bundled together a small collection of sysadmin/scripting-tools here:
https://github.com/skx/sysbox
Those are probably amongst the things that I use most often which are non-standard.

Sd: My Script Directory
I used to have very full ~/bin, and ~/$(hostname), directories. In the end I pared them back and started bundling things together in one binary.
The end result is very similar to this approach, I run "sysbox blah", or "sysbox help", and use integrated subcommands.
Very helpful and makes deployment easy by having only a single binary:
https://github.com/skx/sysbox
Not bash/shell, but similar and useful idea to experiment with.

New Cli Tool (Golang) for custom commands (input during the execution) and with REPL
I support that in my sysbox utility-box, via the subcommands processor, and it is very helpful.

How to build an Ionic Barcode Scanner with Capacitor
The biggest difference between the two plugins is the SDK used to recognise the barcodes. The Capacitor Community Barcode Scanner plugin currently uses the ZXing decoder and the Capacitor ML Kit Barcode Scanning plugin uses the ML Kit from Google.

Does anyone have scanning a QR code from a webcam to a text field in an Access form working and be willing to share the source? Thanks
This is using Excel, but it is still VBA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIFjw8z__dI they're utilizing a third-party library called ZXing which is available on GitHub https://github.com/zxing/zxing
