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.

Ask HN: Admittedly Useless Side Projects?
My timeline thing. It gathers all my crap and puts in onto a timeline. It's a more fine-grained version of scrolling to a specific date on my photo stream.
https://github.com/nicbou/timeline
It serves no purpose, but somehow it attracted one contributor.
It's pointless on purpose. It's the thing I work on when I want to forget about work, and build purely for myself.

Ask HN: What's your personal backup strategy?
Google Drive as a first line of defence. It's been solid for a really long time.
I also run hourly rsync backups to my home server, and propagate them to a Hetzner file storage server. This is done by my timeline thing [0]. The timeline thing backs up files from multiple devices, but also geolocation, social media posts, and other data I consider valuable. It's extensible, so I can add new inputs/outputs as needed.
Whatever your backup strategy is, consider the following threats:
- Your files are held hostage by ransomware, and the damage spreads to your backup
- Your house is destroyed by fire
- You lose your 2FA device
- You are locked out of your Google/Apple/Microsoft account
- You are incapacitated, and someone needs to take over
I have 4 of those factors covered. I am working on the last point.

What Are Your Most Used Self Hosted Applications?
My own timeline thing.
It hosts all of my data plus my personal diary. I update it at least once a day. My photos, backups and geolocation are automatically uploaded to it.
https://github.com/nicbou/timeline
My home server gets a lot of use too. It's mostly my own code, plus Transmission.
https://github.com/nicbou/homeserver
I also have a few lines of code that take my browser's search queries and routes them according to keywords. Browsers do this natively now, but old habits die hard. Every search query goes through it.

Ask HN: Who wants to help promote RSS?
I added RSS to my websites, because my timeline thing (https://github.com/nicbou/timeline) uses them to retrieve posts from my websites.
However, I see the death of RSS as the symptom of a larger problem: when platforms get big enough, they restrict access to their data. RSS feeds disappear, but so do other machine-readable endpoints. If it wasn't for GDPR, there would be no way to export that data. GDPR gave us clunky one-time exports, but even those are often incomplete.
The industry has a strong incentive to kill RSS, since the readers can strip the valuable bits (content or data) from the business bits (analytics, monetisation). RSS users are hard to count or monetise.
This is a battle worth fighting, but it's not one you should expect to win.

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
https://github.com/nicbou/timeline
It regroups my personal data, and displays it on a timeline. Sort of like if Google Photos also included reddit posts, personal journal entries, text messages and other slices of life.
I do it both as a way to back up files and photos, and as a way to keep an enhanced journal.

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):
https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader
https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc
And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
- YaCy, a distributed Web Search Engine, based on a peer-to-peer network

Vice website is shutting down
If you really want to save the content for yourself, use something like https://archivebox.io/
I've been running a local instance for a few years now and download/save tech articles all time. I can search and find them as needed.

An Introduction to the WARC File
API is coming soon (relatively, it's still a one-man project)! Stay tuned https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496
I have an event-sourcing refactor in progress now to allow us to pluginize functionality like the API (similar to Home Assistant with a plugin app sotre), it will take a month or two. Next up is the REST API using the new plugin system.

Ask HN: How can I back up an old vBulletin forum without admin access?
I guess your best chance is to use something like https://archivebox.io/.
