Been doing some analysis of dependency data across public images in docker hub and it turns out the numbers are very strongly correlated with some other more traditional package manager metrics like downloads and dependents.

Why is this good? It means we can use docker usage numbers for package managers and ecosystems that don’t have those numbers, especially system package managers like apt and rpm.

Working on some charts for the @fosdem talk on Sunday, I love it when the data shows that you can't trust github stars!

Looking forward to FOSDEM this weekend, I’ve not been in a few years and it looks like a lot of people I know are going again this year. My talk is the last slot of Sunday though so no time for post-talk relaxation.

The useragent gem (https://github.com/gshutler/useragent) has been a transitive dependency of rails since 7.2, released in August this year, GitHub is reporting it's only "used by" 16k repos compared to rails 2.3m

That says to me that very few open source rails apps have upgraded to 7.2 or later

One side note, github "used by" numbers include forks, so that can massively inflate those numbers as well, but the ratio between them is still shocking.

A little @ecosystems service I put together this week to help with some research for a bigger funding service that is coming very soon: https://sponsors.ecosyste.ms

It's an index of public info about maintainers and funders that are part of GitHub Sponsors.

You discover some interesting ways people are using GitHub sponsors and also see org vs individual sponsorship breakdowns.

As always, source code here: https://github.com/ecosyste-ms/sponsors and API docs: https://sponsors.ecosyste.ms/docs/index.html

Feature requests welcome!

In related news, I absolutely hate debugging GitHub Actions and all the weird permissions around it.
