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.

Would we still create Nebula today?
But both Nebula and tinc max out at around 1 Gbit/s on my Hetzner servers, thus not using most of my 10 Gbit/s connectivity. This is because they cap out at 100% of 1 CPU. The Nebula issue about that was closed due to "inactivity" [2].
I also observed that when Nebula operates at 100% CPU usage, you get lots of package loss. This causes software that expects reasonable timings on ~0.2ms links to fail (e.g. consensus software like Consul, or Ceph). This in turn led to flakiness / intermittent outages.
I had to resolve to move the big data pushing softwares like Ceph outside of the VPN to get 10 Gbit/s speed for those, and to avoid downtimes due to the packet loss.
Such software like Ceph has its own encryption, but I don't trust it, and that mistrust was recently proven right again [3].
So I'm currently looking to move the Ceph into WireGuard.
Summary: For small-data use, tinc and Nebula are fine, but if you start to push real data, they break.

Tailscale/golink: A private shortlink service for tailnets
From a purely networking perspective, there are far better solutions than tailscale.
Have a look at full mesh VPNs like:
https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns
https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go
https://github.com/gsliepen/tinc
https://github.com/costela/wesher
These build actual mesh networks where every node is equal and can serve as a router for other nodes to resolve difficult network topologies (where some nodes might not be connected to the internet, but do have connections to other nodes with an internet connection).
Sending data through multiple routers is also possible. They also deal with nodes disappearing and change routes accordingly.
tailscale (and similar solutions like netbird) still use a bunch of "proxy servers" for that. You can set them up on intermediate nodes, but that have to be dealt with manually (and you get two kinds of nodes).

Two other options are Tinc https://tinc-vpn.org/ or Nebula https://www.defined.net/nebula/

And there is Tinc; the OG overlay network. I don't have experience with this. Seemed a bit of a pain to setup. https://tinc-vpn.org

WireGuard multihop available in the Mullvad app
For what its worth I have used the open source Tinc VPN [1] for mesh multihop routing for ages. It is nowhere near as fast as Wireguard but I could envision Tinc incorporating support for Wireguard if the author were so inclined. Like you mentioned Tinc does not mesh with other VPN's AFAIK.

You may not need Cloudflare Tunnel. Linux is fine
This is actually very simple in concept and is just as simple or even simpler to do with tinc (https://tinc-vpn.org).
Since I can use tinc in bridge mode, I can run tinc on the upstream server and on a local machine which then provides access to several physical machines without running extra software on each of those machines, which is particularly useful for machines that are resource limited, like my Macintosh LC II and LC III+:

It'd be nice if it weren't so difficult to get public addresses.

Tinc Is Not Catan
I clicked expected some broken analogy between https://tinc-vpn.org/ and the Catan board game, but instead it is a Catan implementation. Fair enough.

Graphviz: Open-source graph visualization software
will generate a real-time network graph using the Graphviz DOT language. It's a cool feature that I find quite useful.

Create something like this in Angular?
This could be probably done with https://js.cytoscape.org/ as well, so maybe look into that.

Budō Lineage Tree: a community-driven database and interactive explorer
The UI is almost entirely based on Cytoscape JS, which is one of the most use graph libraries out there (and for good reason, I've found it very good). The UI is similar to some other JavaScript libraries that deal with visualisation of network models, so it ends up being similar to most examples of Neo4j dashboards, D3, etc.

CLOG javascript component question
I am playing with an app built around cytoscape.js for visualizing graphs. That means adding/removing nodes, responding to node events and so on.

[OC] Skills map of different professions by specialization. The bigger star, the more popular the skill.
Data source: DB of tutorials and tags. I created the skills map of collective knowledge shows a number of tutorials uploaded by users. It is illustrated the topics of user-generated content. Size of stars is a number of tutorials on the topic. The bigger the star — the more popular skill. The more connection a skill has — the more essential and versatile it is. After the login, this map becomes personalized for every user in accordance with the uploaded tutorials. All skills are combined into 6 specializations (science, sign, people, tech, art, business). Some topics are repeated in several specializations, for instance, "soft skills." Tool: Cytograph.js Layout: Cise layout Interactive version is here https://unschooler.me/skills

Svelvet Launches Today
> Yeah, I know there's D3.js but that involved way more knowledge and learning than I was interested in.
Same, d3 looked very powerful but had a steep learning curve. I was looking for something simple to generate process trees in real time and ended up using cytoscape js [0], helped me have a working POC in an hour, highly recommended.

Well, I'll write the post on how it was created. In short, the visualization itself is mostly a https://js.cytoscape.org/ with a few custom CSS options. The hardest thing was to figure out how to prepare the data.We had at the row data:

Gephi – The Open Graph Viz Platform
I’m a huge fan of Cytoscape.js. Not sure if it would be a competitor to Gephi as it’s just a JavaScript library but it’s very useful for things one might use D3 for. Not too not does it have the ability to draw, style, and animate the networks it has all the graph algorithms to do the analysis and traversal.
