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.

Use the 'Tail' Command to Monitor Everything
I found myself doing this as well and decided to write a simple tool to do it "automatically" for me.
You still can't use it with less, but at least it allows you to mark "segments" of the log without switching to that window and mashing enter.

NixOS 21.05 Released
In general it is very nice. A common method is you create a `default.nix` file in the project you are working on and use tools that manage the deps for you. For example:
Rust+Cargo: https://gitlab.com/kevincox/watchlog/-/blob/22c877065f763b3d...
Node+NPM: https://gitlab.com/kevincox/kevincox-web-compiler/-/blob/9fa...
My only Ruby project is private but I just rolled my own with:
export "GEM_HOME=$out"

Our Fastest, Most Beautiful Release Ever: Thunderbird 115 “Supernova” Is Here
I admit that there is an element of, "but I chose an obscure and challenging linux variant, waaah why isn't it supported" here, but (a) there's currently no flatpak and (b) when, for goodness sakes, will major linux projects begin packaging for Nix/NixOS as a matter of course?
It's not hard, and the benefits go far outside merely supporting Nix, as e.g. a flake.nix file would allow this project to generate docker images, and appImage images, as basically afterthoughts. (See e.g. https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle.)
Nix flake support would also provide a perfectly reproducible build environment, which can help clarify dependencies, and thus help the project build achieve idempotence, but I'll save the full shill for some github issue.
In fact, I'm inclined to roll up my shirtsleeves and help make this real.

Container runtime as a static binary?
https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle perhaps?
-
Pushing/marketing the nix package manager as a Flatpak/Snap competitor?
Another way to approach this would be to advocate Nix as the build system for Flatpak or AppImage. Don't know what the status is of nix-bundle, but if it is possible to turn a Nix package into an AppImage with little extra work that would be ideal.

Flaptak (and Snap) is not the future
Nix itself is more focused on "distribute from this host with nix, to this other host with nix".
Though, here is e.g. https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle, which is supported as an experimental command in nix 2.4.

Does Nix or NixOS address the problem raised by Linus Torvalds on package management?
I believe this tool does: https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle

NixOS 21.05 Released
Yes, it's extremely powerful once you truly understand Nix.
There are efforts to improve documentation, but it still is lacking (I think the biggest problem is that Nix is so big, not just the OS but it can be utilized as a build system).
Just with NixOS is not exactly clear how can you for example build your custom image.
I think https://nix.dev/ is approaching the documentation from the right direction.
There are also many pieces that people built that you need to find.
For example some things that I found accidentally:
* https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle
* https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os
Unfortunately those side projects often have even worse documentation.
