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.

Xz format considered inadequate for long-term archiving
ZPAQ is the name of the tool but ZPAQ is also the name of the container format that gets used. ZPAQ embeds the decompression algorithm in the archive. One could store zstd-compressed blocks in ZPAQ archives as soon as a zpaql decompressor exists (e.g., for brotli there is a slow one implemented in a python subset and compiled to zpaql https://github.com/pothos/zpaqlpy).
I don't know exactly whether other formats are better for seeking and streaming, but since the baseline is tar, ZPAQ (in the 2.0 spec) is already better as it supports deduplication and files can even be updated append-only, and the compression is not an afterthought wrapped around it but well integrated.

Drink Me: (Ab)Using a LLM to Compress Text
> Doesn't take large amount of GPU resources
This is an understatement, zstd dictionary compression and decompression are blazingly fast: https://github.com/facebook/zstd/blob/dev/README.md#the-case...
My real-world use case for this was JSON files in a particular schema, and the results were fantastic.

SQLite VFS for ZSTD seekable format
This VFS will read a sqlite file after it has been compressed using [zstd seekable format](https://github.com/facebook/zstd/blob/dev/contrib/seekable_f...). Built to support read-only databases for full-text search. Benchmarks are provided in README.

Chrome Feature: ZSTD Content-Encoding
Of course, you may get different results with another dataset.
gzip (zlib -6) [ratio=32%] [compr=35Mo/s] [dec=407Mo/s]
zstd (zstd -2) [ratio=32%] [compr=356Mo/s] [dec=1067Mo/s]
NB1: The default for zstd is -3, but the table only had -2. The difference is probably small. The range is 1-22 for zstd and 1-9 for gzip.
NB2: The default program for gzip (at least with Debian) is the executable from zlib. With my workflows, libdeflate-gzip iscompatible and noticably faster.
NB3: This benchmark is 2 years old. The latest releases of zstd are much better, see https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases
For a high compression, according to this benchmark xz can do slightly better, if you're willing to pay a 10× penalty on decompression.
xz -9 [ratio=23%] [compr=2.6Mo/s] [dec=88Mo/s]
zstd -9 [ratio=23%] [compr=2.6Mo/s] [dec=88Mo/s]

Optimizating Rabin-Karp Hashing
Compression, synchronization and backup systems often use rolling hash to implement "content-defined chunking", an effective form of deduplication.
In optimized implementations, Rabin-Karp is likely to be the bottleneck. See for instance https://github.com/facebook/zstd/pull/2483 which replaces a Rabin-Karp variant by a >2x faster Gear-Hashing.

I've done that experiment with zstd before.

Not sure about brotli though.
