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.

Diskless Cluster With PXE?
Another option could be to let the servers just boot into webbrowser and then do somethign VDI (Vitual Desktop infrastructure), for example KASAM: https://www.kasmweb.com/ This would also address/ solve/ simplify many of the mentioned issues above.

Linux Terminalserver - Virtual Desktops - Nomachine alternatives
https://www.kasmweb.com/ is a popular new solution in this space. I've played around with https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-webtop which is based on their kasmvnc and even in the non lossless mode if feels quite snappy.

Making Kasm Workspaces and Traefik work together
I read about Kasm Workspaces here on selfhosted and really wanted to try it out on my Ubuntu VPS. Problem is, I use Traefik for my reverse proxy and it's not technically supported by Kasm. There are also very few hits on searches for the two platforms together, and the information that's available is not very helpful. Maybe I'm the only person really interested in this 😂 but after a lot of time spent figuring it out I decided to write my own guide in case someone else is too. This assumes you already have Traefik setup and running on port 443. The files are available at my Github project.

Should I keep the 1070 in the server?
Check out KASM - https://www.kasmweb.com/ - you can actually play many of your Steam games from it with GPU acceleration.

Is there any way to let a client test website without giving them the code?
You could spin up something like Kasm Workspaces, Neko or Docker Webtop.

Please clarify the licensing of Kasm
- The Workspaces Images and Workpaces Core images, are both open source projects that include the image dockerfiles and associated scripts for building the end-user containers such as Chrome , Brave, Ubuntu desktop, etc. You can view the code and licenses here: https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-images/blob/develop/LICENSE.md , https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-core-images/blob/develop/LICENSE.md
-
One site to access all your home services?
Check out https://www.kasmweb.com/. You could setup a persistent profile storage on a linux distro of your choosing and have all the bookmarks saved there or even have it open chrome directly with all your shortcuts right from the website using 2fa to protect everything.

Ask HN: What do you think about a subscription based social media?
Oh, TIL about https://mastodon.social/ (https://joinmastodon.org/)
Looks like what you describe, doesn't it?

Alt Text box can't fit one screenshot of text
Interestingly there is some discussion for Mastodon with people asking the limit to be smaller, which raises the question as to the purpose of alt text, and how to properly handle larger text lengths in screen reader programs.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884
The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.
If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.
The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.
HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.
Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.
Suggestions?

Unity's Open-Source Double Standard: The Ban of VLC
>You can defeat the Affero clause by putting the software behind a proxy, for example
Could someone elaborate on this? This is NOT my understanding of the license, and it seems absurd considering e.g. Mastodon is AGPL but the standard install requires a reverse proxy[1]. If using a proxy defeats Affero, why would the Mastodon team do this? Are they stupid?
