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: Open-source x64 and Arm GitHub runners. Reduces GitHub Actions bill 10x
The docs still say the Elastic license is used but looking at https://github.com/ubicloud/ubicloud/blob/main/LICENSE it looks like the project might have switched to GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 in the last day.
- GitHub - ubicloud/ubicloud: Open, free, and portable cloud. Elastic compute, block storage (non replicated), and virtual networking services in public alpha.

Ask HN: How does your company balance test coverage and deploy speed?
At Ubicloud, we have 100% line and branch coverage that is mandated on every PR (https://github.com/ubicloud/ubicloud). We also have an E2E test suite that we run periodically and with every commit. We did not really feel like our tests are slowing us down, it actually makes us faster since we have a higher trust to the payload and many manual checks that would need to be done is safely skipped.

Ask HN: Thoughts about Elastic V2, SSPL, or mixed software licenses?
Link to our project: https://github.com/ubicloud/ubicloud
We’re choosing Elastic V2 for three reasons: (1) We’re planning to monetize through a managed service and we’d like the license to support that, (2) Later if we change our mind, we think it’s easier on our users if we go from a restrictive license to a more permissive one, and (3) The Elastic V2 license is much simpler than its cousin, Server Side Public License (SSPL).
That said, Elastic V2 is a new license and doesn’t seem to as popular as SSPL. Also, some projects out there mix and match multiple licenses in their repo to be able to call themselves open source.
Any insights / feedback on Elastic V2 or software licenses in general?

Create a Custom GitHub Action in Rust
To speed up your development cycle, install and use the act tool to test-run your action directly in your development environment. This tool lets you invoke a GitHub workflow right on your local machine and will save you the round-trips of pushing each change to GitHub to see if it works.

How to debug GitHub actions. Real-world example
When it comes to the alternatives to tmate, there is another great debugging tool that you could check out. It is called act and it allows you to run GitHub Actions code on your local machine making debugging even easier. It has its own limitations and some learning curve but overall it is another tool you should use if you can’t fix the CI bugs by connecting directly into the running action with the tmate.

Show HN: Open-source x64 and Arm GitHub runners. Reduces GitHub Actions bill 10x
Could you upload your build of GitHub's runner image to Docker Hub?
This would be quite useful for users of other GitHub Actions clones like act [0].

Git commit messages are useless
> These kinds of commit messages are typically an indicator of a broken process where somebody needs to commit to see something happen, like a deployment or build process, and aren't able to assert that stuff works locally.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves with services like github actions. Something running locally like "act" [1] isn't sufficient because it doesn't have everything github has and is extra friction anyway to get everyone to use it for testing.

What’s with DevOps engineers using `make` of all things?
If you use Github actions, act is incredibly useful. It can be used to test your GH actions, but also serves as an interface for running tasks locally.

Streamlining CI/CD Pipelines with Code: A Developer's Guide
That's something that often is difficult or basically impossible. Except for maybe GitHub actions through Act (https://github.com/nektos/act). I'd still lean to something in the yaml sphere if it eventually would be used in deployment pipelines and such. For example a solution incorporating ansible.
It also seems to me that the argument you make is mostly focused on the building step? Earthly certainly seems focused on that aspect.

GitHub Actions Are a Problem
I feel I'm being trolled, but I'll bite and accept the resulting downvotes
I don't think treating every mention of act as an opportunity for airing of personal grievances is helpful in a discussion when there's already ample reports of people's concrete issues with it, had one looked at the 800 issues in its repo https://github.com/nektos/act/issues?q=is%3Aissue or the 239 from gitea's for https://gitea.com/gitea/act_runner/issues or whatever is going on with Forgejo's fork https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act .
But, as for me specifically, there are two and a half answers: I wanted to run VSCodium's build locally, which act for sure puked about. Then, while trying to troubleshoot that, I thought I'd try something simpler and have it run the lint job from act's own repo <https://github.com/nektos/act/blob/1252e551b8672b1e16dc8835d...> to rule out "you're holding it wrong" type junk. It died with
[checks/lint] Failure - Main actions/setup-go@v3

> GitHub Actions currently charges $0.16 per minute* for the macOS M1 Runners. That comes out to $84,096 for 1 machine year*
GitHub Runner is written in Go; it fetches tasks from GitHub Actions and posts the results back to the Pull Request that spawned the build.
nektos/act is how Gitea Actions builds GitHub Actions workflow YAML build definition documents. https://github.com/nektos/act

> This is the macOS Ventura installer running in 30 VMs, in 30 #nix derivations at once. It gets the installer from Apple, automates the installation using Tesseract OCR and TCL Expect scripts. This is to test the repeatability. A single function call `makeDarwinImage`.
With a Multi-Stage Dockerfile/Containerfild, you can have a dev environment like xcode or gcc+make in the first stage that builds the package, and then the second stage the package is installed and tested, and then the package is signed and published to a package repo / app store / OCI container image repository.
SLSA now specifies builders for signing things correctly in CI builds with keys in RAM on the build workers.
