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.

Ask HN: Remote access to self hosted (back end) software
A couple of years ago I've read about this concept (already forgot the name) of using self hosted data storage with cloud applications. Basically, you as a user own your data and only permit the cloud hosted web application to access it - not own it and manage in your place.
I was thinking of a similar concept, but in the context of mobile applications. The mobile application itself would be accessible via Google Play Store/App Store, but the backend part would be self hosted and upon opening the application you would have to specify how to access backend.
My question is how would I access the backend if it was hosted on let's say rpi running in the living room? It's not a problem as long as I'm within the home network, but I want seemless network transition without losing access when entering/leaving the house. I was told https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/zero-trust/access/ could be used for this, but to me it sounds a bit of an overkill to use it for an application which would never be used by more than a single digit amount of users. This looks more suitable: https://github.com/boringproxy/boringproxy

Replacing cloudflare with a VPS - My journey
Finally, someone in the above project's Matrix room directed me towards boringproxy - https://github.com/boringproxy/boringproxy. This was the perfect solution. No lengthy config files, easy to use and automate. Setup took about an hour and now everything is back up and running. The only issue I've currently not been able to solve is one where the container seems to use a websocket, which keeps getting timed out (will investigate this further tomorrow).

zrok: open-source peer-to-peer sharing (alternative to ngrok)
boringproxy (GitHub) is my go-to for this sort of thing. Thanks for the announcement, I'll have to do a head-to-head and see how they stack up!

Consider SQLite
Am I the only one who thinks SQLite is still too complicated for many programs? Maybe it's just the particular type of software I normally work on, which tends towards small, self-hosted networking services[0] that would often have a single user, or maybe federated with <100 users. These programs need a small amount of state for things like tokens, users accounts, and maybe a bit of domain-specific things. This can all live in memory, but needs to be persisted to disk on writes. I've reached for SQLite several times, and always come back to just keeping a struct of hashmaps[1] in memory and dumping JSON to disk. It's worked great for my needs.
Now obviously if I wanted to scale up, at some point you would have too many users to fit in memory. But do programs at that scale actually need to exist? Why can't everyone be on a federated server with state that fits in memory/JSON? I guess that's more of a philosophical question about big tech. But I think it's interesting that most of our tech stack choices are driven by projects designed to work at a scale most of us will never need, and maybe nobody needs.

Portr – open-source ngrok alternative designed for teams
Thanks for the history. I maintain this list[0], and wasn't aware of OG localtunnel, likely because there's a somewhat newer and now more popular project with the same name[1]. You appear to be correct on timing. Here's the earliest commits on GitHub for each of the projects:
OG localtunnel (2010): https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel/tree/fb82920d9d3e538...
Other localtunnel (2012): https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/tree/93d62b9dbb9f...
ngrok (2012): https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/tree/8f4795ecac7f92...
I'll see that OG localtunnel gets added to the list for posterity.

ngrok open source alternative for SSH tunnelling?
if you're worried about the line "ngrok captures and analyzes all traffic over the tunnel for later inspection and replay" in https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok, I'd say that's a valid concern but not for ssh if you make sure the client knows what the host key is and does not accept a different one

Building a HTTP Tunnel with WebSocket and Node.JS
To get a fix domain, we can deploy HTTP tunnel in our own server. ngrok also provides an open source version for server side deployment. But it is old 1.x version and not recommended to deploy at production with some serious reliability issues.
