## Useful for

- Provision an isolated Linux desktop in the cloud and run a command in it
- Connect an agent to Calculator via MCP and verify the computed result
- Create a macOS VM on Apple Silicon with Lume and connect over SSH

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:10–10:55: 31510 → 31562 stars (+52). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +112 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
