I love jq. Since I just learned this today, I'll mention that python comes with a JSON pretty-printing utility that can be used on the CLI: echo '{"some_json": "value"}' | python -m json.tool

Probably worth mentioning in this context that the pygments[1] module adds syntax coloring, as well, ... | python -m json.tool | python -m pygments -l json or, path permitting, ... | python -m json.tool | pygmentize -l json [1] https://pygments.org

Oh, and

  python -m http.server 12345
serves files in the current directory over HTTP on port 12345.

I'll stop now, but I love how Python module developers add these "hidden" command-line features.

P.S.: You can — and, at this point in history, probably should — s/python/python3/ in all these examples.

There are few things more satisfying programming than firing up htop on a high core count machine and watching cpu usage light up.

Or, even better, fix that performance problem and watch the cores quiet down... :)

I paid for the whole CPU, I'm going to use it all. (when compile something obviusly)

I learned more about htop, and frankly even Linux I’m general, from this amazing in-depth explanation of what htop is displaying. https://peteris.rocks/blog/htop/

That is amazing. I can’t remember a better tutorial about Linux system administration.

Wow. Just blown away by the density of useful info in this article.

now all that's missing is multisystem support

you mean it should show cpu/process statuses inside of virtual machines like Xenserver tools?

across multiple VMs, physical machines, whatever. Host/server mode, data collection, etc, etc

For 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 have a list of many more here too (including all the ones in the comments next to this one): https://docs.monadical.com/s/system-monitoring-tools

I'm not sure if it's intentional or what but most of the sections are duplicated 3 times with some overlap of the tools. Pretty hard to consume.

I was actively editing something, it should be fixed now.

The original maintainer (creator) did an excellent job for 10+ years. Here is his response: https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/issues/992#issuecomment-683...

Many thanks for pointing this one out. And as someone said about the OP setting the tone with his opener. Regardless the whole thread was a wonderful read from start to finish.

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.

Oddly, while Firefox nightly did disable my extensions after the update, Firefox stable has continued to leave them enabled. They're not working perfectly, but they're all enabled. xStyle, tampermonkey, etc are all working for me. The only problem is that they're now impossible to disable, because that entire UI no longer exists (I've got some extensions that do unconditional page modification, which I had to uninstall completely)

I personally use glances for our ML RnD machines as it is pretty extensible and I can get all info at a glance.

I'd been wondering if this was a friendly fork. Glad to see it has his blessing.

This is probably the friendliest fork I've seen happen. There's even a comment where someone points out he's been active on other projects, and is thus alive and well and still coding, but just obviously ignoring htop specifically. The general response to that news seems to be relief that he's okay and that nothing (obviously) bad has happened.

It's nice to see users of an abandoned project happy that it's because the developer (apparently) abandoned it, as long as he's okay.
