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.

Pigz: Parallel gzip for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines
Similarly, if people are interested, I have coded the possibility to compress zip files on several cores in zip.js [1]. The approach is simpler as it consists of compressing the entries in parallel. It still offers a significant performance gain though when compressing multiple files in a zip file, which is often the nominal case.

Is there an online reader for books from Libgen?
This shouldn't be an issue. There are JS libraries that can decompress zip (e.g. https://gildas-lormeau.github.io/zip.js/). Nowadays even huge C/C++ codebases can be compiled into JS via Emscripten.

Well, you can build zip.js with fflate if you want to, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/zip.js/blob/master/rollup-fflate.config.js. I wasn't saying that zip.js is faster than fflate or any other library. I'm just saying it can compress files in parallel.

That's really confusing since `pixz` exists and its "pixie" pronunciation actually works

Xz format considered inadequate for long-term archiving
pixz (https://github.com/vasi/pixz) is a nice parallel xz that additionally creates an index of tar files so you can decompress individual files. I wonder if dpkg could be extended to do something similar.

The best datahoarding hint that changed my live: use RAR archives (or any other archive format, really)
There's pixz, which indexes the tarball, allowing listing/extracting individual paths without decompressing the whole thing.

Hop: 25x faster than unzip and 10x faster than tar at reading individual files
Also relevant is pixz [1] which can do parallel LZMA/XZ decompression as well as tar file indexing.

7-Zip 21.0 alpha introduces native Linux support
Yes, it's as easy as installing pixz with symlinks pointing to xz (I think Debian even does this automatically as part of its post-installation scripts).

PeaZip 7.7.1 released!
Not quite what you're asking, but if you're a 7-Zip fan and on Linux, you might be interested in pixz.
