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.

Dotfiles: Unofficial Guide to Dotfiles on GitHub
I think I'm the only person insane enough to use a makefile for this.
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/GNUmake...
https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/managing-dotfiles-wi...
It even supports the XDG stuff.

I stopped worrying and loved Makefiles
I (ab)use make to manage my dotfiles.
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/GNUmake...
I'm surprised at how well this thing works every time I use it. I even blogged about it.
https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/managing-dotfiles-wi...
Recently made a tool that processes the make database and prints the phony targets and their dependencies:
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/~/.loca...
I use it as a sort of makefile help command. Works surprisingly well too.

Using Make – writing less Makefile
The real makefile that I use and wrote about has some features that I didn't get around to describing in the blog post. Also has a ton of comments.
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/.files/blob/master/GNUmake...
The metaprogramming template I described is used to implement XDG Base Directories. The links take the XDG variables into account while the real files live in their default locations inside the repository.

DeVStudio – Runs VS Code on Android
Android allows you to swap the virtual keyboard. I use unexpected keyboard which is also free software. It's excellent for programming. Before that I used Hacker's Keyboard which has actual arrow keys.
Termux also has a configurable bar at the bottom where you can map any keys you want. I use it for function and arrow keys plus a bunch of common symbols.
Here's an example from my dotfiles:

Ask HN: What rabbit hole(s) did you dive into recently?
gs (ghostscript), mutool, ocrmypdf...
To add/remove: mutool merge -h
To split PDF pages: mutool poster -h
I made a script here that I use frequently for scanned documents: https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/bin/pdf_...
Shrink PDFs: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=out.pdf in.pdf
(or switch prepress to ebook to shrink more)
or to really shrink, b&w only:
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray -sColorConversionStrategy=Gray -dDownsampleColorImages=true -dOverrideICC -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dColorImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dColorImageResolution=120 -dGrayImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dGrayImageResolution=120 -dMonoImageDownsampleType=/Bicubic -dMonoImageResolution=120 -sOutputFile=out.pdf in.pdf

Ask HN: Why does GNU Stow (et al.) exist?
I've been putting my whole home folder under git for almost a year [1].
I haven't seen any other repos on GitHub with a similar layout. Why do people rely on GNU Stow and other complicated tools to essentially do what git does? I haven't noticed any performance problems with just using git.

A browser plugin that shows you which search results require a login to use their services before you even click on them
with these settings: https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.github/firefox/ublacklist-settings.json
- I'm new to termux, so suggest me what cool stuff to use termux for.

My Bad Habit of Hoarding Information
The problem with a lot of these tools is there is no incremental escape hatch. I had 25,000 tabs last year which I saved as a line delimited text file.
Then every day I automate opening 7 tabs and I force myself to get through them. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes, sometimes it takes an hour. Sometimes it ends with me adding 50 more links to the text file. Sometimes the tabs are garbage but often they are worthwhile.
https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/...
https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/...
But over the past year I've gone through 2,555 tabs! So it seems like it is working. Maybe in 10 years I'll reach tab zero

Yet another yt-dlp linux script
I started doing this with my phone and it made formatting my phone painless. The hardest part is getting started. I still haven't added all my config files to git; I have a daily script that will remove one line from my home directory gitignore so I can incrementally add config files. And it has already brought me a lot of peace of mind even if I'm only like 30% of the way done on the desktop.
