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.

TOTP tokens on my wrist with the smartest dumb watch
I use https://github.com/pcarrier/gauth
It relies on file permissions so is not exactly robustly secure (no idea about RAM vulnerabilities etc).
As per the author, I consider my laptop the fundamental point of vulnerability. If someone else gets access to it, I'll know and I'll hit the metaphorical panic button :)
- Ask HN: Does anyone else think this 2FA everywhere is getting out of hand?

Ask HN: Why is today's Internet experience so user hostile?
I was able to take a screenshot of GAuth backups on iPhone using the button hotkeys(IE: Power+Volume up). I setup a container that runs a go version of GAuth and used a python script to decrypt the (decrypted QR code) backup keys. Then I backed up the encrypted keyfile to offline disk, encrypted the container backup and deleted it from the hypervisor.

No, thank you, especially if Google is going to be the gatekeeper.

PyPI announces mandatory use of 2FA for all software publishers
Huh? Who is saying you need a smartphone? PyPi accepts TOTP as 2FA. TOTP is an open standard that has been around for at least a decade already and is very easy to implement, literally 20 lines of python. There are a ton of TOTP applications available, from CLI, to GUI on desktop systems, to Android apps, iOS, etc. If you have any device, be it a computer, phone, tablet, etc., which you do since you need one to publish the code from, you can easily generate TOTP codes. Heck, you could even do it by a hand on a paper.

TOTP Authentication with Free Software
A little golfed, but TOTP in python, using included modules, is not much code.
