I see that you're parsing `ss` output in 'src/services/network.rs' (L22-L31) [1]. I find this to be a rather shaky foundation as any future drift or deviation in the `ss` utility's…

From 2014 [1]. This seems to be posted once per year (at least); however, hardly a complaint as the discussion tends to be high quality. My personal mantra is if it's over 10~20 li…

Impressive project, although not what I thought of when I saw the name [1][2]. [1] https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html [2] https://graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/…

I'd like to learn more. Sources I can refer to?
