Man have I been hanging out for this. 2.x was sorely lacking in so many ways.

On Android, I don't see any ads with Firefox, but I do with Chrome. Edit: No, actually that is because I have uBlock Origin enabled on Firefox.
I looked with FF both with and without ublock, and I don't see any ads. I don't understand people who gripe about ads when the solutions are ubiquitous and friction-free these days.
Ads only showed on mobile. On desktop, with FF and uBlock disabled, I didn't see any. I had Tracking Protection enabled though.

Upvoted, this took me years to do myself. However, the config file annoys me now because every time I do something like toggling tree view with T or changing sort between CPU and memory with P and U it pops up in my dotfile repo’s list of modified files. I wish it only stored the stuff that’s buried down in the setup menu like what meters are at the top.
Agreed, I feel like there should be a way to mark changes as temporary instead of commiting to file every time. I found a workaround that seems to work though, once you're happy with your defaults you can do: chmod a-w ~/.config/htop/htoprc This way you make the file read-only and prevent htop from changing it. Also I had to add "vim_mode=1" directly in the rc file because I couldn't find the option in the menus. Unf…
Thank you! I might try this on some other things too.
mpv is one tool I think handles a kind of similar thing nicely: it has a main config file for long term settings, but also allows you to use Q instead of q to quit and save state (eg. playback position, speed, volume, etc.) in .config/mpv/watchlater/hashofurl (a separate file for each URL you play).
htop could save the single-keypress-changeable settings in, say, .config/htop/viewstate and only keep the other stuff that’s buried in the setup menu in the htoprc

Not on the whitelist of extensions for the current Firefox version. You'll need to build your own.
Yep. The most infuriating part of their sudden disabling of existing extensions and preventing users from installing non-whitelisted ones on mobile FF is that if extensions like uBlock Origin and NoScript will work you know that a simple redirector extension would too.
“Simple redirector extension” sounds like a good generic tool that should exist to sed urls in a similar way to how ublockO & AdNauseum can block more than one type of content based on simple rules. One extension could use one rule to use the old version of Reddit, another to replace YouTube with Invidious, Twitter with Nitter… oh wait!
I knew https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redir... could do the last two plus something for Instagram, searched https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nitter+invidious+instagram and lo and behold, https://www.oldd.it/r/privacy/comments/hpy82f/redirect_twitt....
I’d be surprised if HTTPS Everywhere wasn’t whitelisted. And if it isn’t, TIL you can use it to fix Reddit.

Re: Htop 3.0
#86Reading this changelog I discovered that htop has a config file and a config menu. I started using it years ago as a drop-in replacement for top and I never went beyond the default but there are some very nifty things hidden in the option, such as being able to display process trees and custom thread names among many other things. If like me you never bothered to look into it just hit F2 in a running htop and start b…
just fyi, classic top also has config file https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/top.1.html#6._FILES

Bat is a cat replacement with syntax highlighting, formatting options; it works great with fd. What's rg?
ripgrep (the binary name is rg) is a faster grep written in Rust.
For me the interface is the draw rather than speed. I use ag rather than rg, but doing `ag search-term path` is how I'd expect it to work. Plus, automatically ignoring .git and other metadata files out of the box is a time saver.

#88The original maintainer (creator) did an excellent job for 10+ years. Here is his response: https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/issues/992#issuecomment-683...
Didn't realize he'd taken a break. Guess that allowed him to develope tl[1]. [1] - https://github.com/teal-language/tl
And userland[1], and finish a phd.

I have an /etc/htoprc so I can maintain it with the same tool that maintains my other /etc config files. Unfortunately htop also copies this over to ~/.config/htop/htoprc on every startup even if I don't change any configs, and then it gets out of sync if I ever update /etc/htoprc.
So I have a /usr/local/bin/htop that does
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf ~/.config/htop

#90For those who like htop-style system monitoring tools, you should also keep these commands handy: - atop (great for finding out what's causing system-wide slowness when you're not sure whether it's CPU/disk/network/temperature/etc.) - iotop/iftop/sar (top equivalents for disk IO, network traffic, and sysstat counters) - glances/nmon/dstat/iptraf-ng (pretty monitoring CLI-GUI utils with more colors) - systemd-analyze…
I like iostat -x for checking disk IO capacity
