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.

Sudden ping increase playing from South America, anyone else?
This unfortunately won't get you the whole picture, but using some tools you can determine how your traffic is routed in one direction, and possibly the geographic path it takes as well. For example, in mine, I can see based on the names that I know my traffic is going through Equinix San Jose (equinix-sj), then likely to Palo Alto (pao1, palo), then to Los Angeles (lax). By looking up who owns what IP addresses, I can also see that my traffic goes from my local ISP (Sonic) to Telia, then to Amazon. While concerning, you can effectively ignore all of the hops that say "Request timed out." as those just mean the hop wasn't responding to pings (or in the case of the very end, the game server itself likely doesn't respond to pings). Unfortunately though, this is only half of the picture, as this doesn't let me see the path from anets servers to me. For that, I would need an AWS instance with similar routing rules to anet's servers. Still, this may be useful, as I'm guessing your traffic is using a submarine cable to get to anet's servers in the US. These unfortunately often have issues or maintenance that can cause measurable connectivity impacts - I'm in the US and we have a node on the NLNOG Ring, and we get alerts of connectivity issues with Europe on a regular basis.

Zero Point Leet Seconds
Well. Significantly more than that due to latency from switches etc and also because of the fact that there's so little land along the equator, meaning there's only one cable that travels roughly equatorially. It's from Fortaleza, Brazil to Kribi, Cameroon: https://www.submarinecablemap.com/
If you set up a bunch of good first-surface mirrors, I'm pretty sure you could get to pretty much the speed of light. You'd have to put them pretty high up in the air to avoid hitting things (a problem for cables as well, obviously) but putting the beam 2km in the air would still only lengthen the path by 4pi km, or .03%.
I have always found it very neat that the propagation speed of a light wave in glass is roughly the same as electrical waves in a coaxial cable. Both are shockingly slow compared to air/vacuum, but for completely different reasons. In both cases the advantages in signal integrity are immense.

There used to be a website called pixelpeeper.com that let users see and examine photos taken by specific cameras or lenses, which I absolutely loved. I was a bit disappointed today to find out that it doesn’t exist anymore. Does anybody know services similar to it?
Well, you could try using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine:

Is there a way to see old local movie showtimes?
Not sure if it’ll help with this, but https://archive.org/web/ aka the Wayback Machine is good for looking up old versions of websites.

Found this a couple of years ago. Not sure if it belongs here.
Yeah, the internet already allows you to view any website on any day in history so I still don’t know why that book exists.

Is there a way to find/read deleted fics?
Not really, sorry. The best you could do is pop the URL to your bookmarks into the Wayback Machine and see if your bookmarks page was ever captured. Then you could compare your existing page to anything the Wayback has. However, it’s unlikely they would have captured all your bookmarks, or captured them recently, if they ever did.

"Cringe Freakout" video of me was uploaded to YT
Accounts you delete/make private may still be viewable via the Wayback Machine. Search it for any URLs related to your accounts, and if they come up, you can follow the steps here or send a GDPR notice similar to how this person did to have them removed from the archive.

Song playlist I’ve been hoarding music in for over 6 years got deleted without any warning because of supposed “mistreatment of minors” ..I’m devastated
Maybe try the Wayback Machine at Archive.org if you have the playlist URL? https://archive.org/web/ I'm not sure it archives that type of thing but worth a shot. Otherwise I'd say start a new playlist asap while your memory is fresh and try to back up the list in a 2nd location somehow (even if it takes a lot of effort, like typing it all out).
