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"

NixOS RFC 136 accepted: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
Those Linode instructions are about installing an OS from an installation ISO from Linode's rescue mode. -- I'd consider that more a 'plus' to Linode that you get to be able to install whatever unsupported Linux on Linode's VMs. But, of course it's not as smooth as the officially supported images.
Sibling comment mentions that NixOS provides ways to build VM images (e.g. https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators has a generator specifically for Linode).
Another option is to use nixos-infect, which will replace a Linux distribution with a NixOS distribution. https://github.com/elitak/nixos-infect
> At that point, I feel like all of the repeatability gains are gone. If I want to spin up a fresh server, I have to read a guide and set stuff up by hand?
Just as with ansible, "git pull to deploy". You'd keep a copy of your NixOS configuration.nix somewhere else, and would be able to apply it later.
> it really does let me just get a new VPS and deploy to it very fast
Using a tool you're familiar with to get the job done is going to be faster than learning to use a tool you're unfamiliar with.
I believe much of the use of NixOS is for hobby stuff, and for personal machines. (c.f. "In what environments do you use Nix", Development (1242) vs Home Server (845) vs Production (386) https://discourse.nixos.org/t/2022-nix-survey-results/18983).

Flake to make NixOS iso
You should take a look at NixOS Generators, it's a flake with configs to build common formats like ISO, LXC, Docker, etc. I use that to generate an ISO with my config, specifically the packages.iso section.

[NixOS] How to Migrate From one Server to another? KVM to VMware
I haven't migrated machines from one vm provider to vmware, but I have provided a number of pregenerated nixos images (along the line of https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators) to clients to install onto vmware (and other - hyperv, xen, qemu, physical) hosts.
