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.

Show HN: A decentralized semantic web built atop Activity Pub
For authenticating messages, Chatter Net uses Linked Data Proofs (https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-integrity/#proofs). The JS client uses this implementation: https://github.com/digitalbazaar/crypto-ld. And the Rust server uses this one: https://github.com/spruceid/ssi.
I hadn't seen ucan yet, I think the space of JWT adjacent protocols is growing, and I'll be interested to see where it all goes!

It's Now Possible to Sign Arbitrary Data with Your SSH Keys
We've implemented a DID method based on this!

OCapN, Interoperable Capabilities over the Network
There's ucan too, which fills some similar-ish roles. It's definitely not quite as comprehensive & featureful as ocapn, but worth mentioning. https://ucan.xyz/

Firefox Finally Outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider
Thanks for the mention! Capyloon (https://capyloon.org) had a grant from Protocol Labs (the IPFS stewards) in 2022 so we focused quite a bit on that indeed. We learned a lot - especially about the maturity and usability of the IPFS stack.
I'm still very bullish on the dWeb pieces: content based addressing, UCANs (https://ucan.xyz/) for distributed auth, new web app models (https://hackmd.io/@robin-berjon/tiles) to create an ecosystem that is not locked by centralized app stores.
There's a lot to do, all contributions are welcome (frontend, device ports, platform apis...). We have a Matrix channel (https://matrix.to/#/#capyloon:matrix.org) and you can try desktop builds easily following the steps at https://github.com/capyloon/nutria#quick-start

Biscuit tokens 3.0 release! Decentralized authorization in Rust, wasm and a lot of other platforms
https://ucan.xyz - similar technology

Show HN: A decentralized semantic web built atop Activity Pub
..which builds on https://ucan.xyz/ for auth. I’m also curious to learn what Chatternet does differently, and whether that’s necessary.
- User Controlled Authorization Networks (UCAN) Distributed Auth
- Ucan-Wg/Spec: User Controlled Authorization Network (UCAN) Specification
What are some alternatives?
ssh-agent-pkcs11 - A PKCS#11 module which uses certificates stored on remote systems accessed over the SSH Agent protocol
l8w8jwt - Minimal, OpenSSL-less and super lightweight JWT library written in C.
git-crypt - Transparent file encryption in git
biscuit-rust - Rust implementation of the Biscuit authorization token
chatternet-client-http
ipvfoo - Display the current page's IP version and addresses
pinafore - Alternative web client for Mastodon (UNMAINTAINED)
whoami.filippo.io - A ssh server that knows who you are. $ ssh whoami.filippo.io
age - A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
