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

Interesting how it started as a learning experience, and grew in something so essential. Amazing work

I've created this domain (and olddit.com/path) to redirect the urlpath to old.reddit.com using only a single CloudFlare Page Rule.

Unless you’re on Firefox? Edit: nvm, on GNU/Linux mobile you can use FF or Chromium (or GNOME Web or lynx or netsurf or…)

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.

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/

The ads are substantial, invasive (hard to follow the text) and for me were borderline NSFW. Definitely a situation for reader mode.

What's the benefit of that over just using old.reddit.com?

I turned off uBlockO and refreshed ... woah .. full banners in random parts of the page. Interesting...

It works with reddit's shortened links:

https://redd.it/iiowpn -> new interface

https://oldd.it/iiowpn -> old interface

On mobile you can save some keystrokes too, since the new FireFox does not support many extensions, yet.

htop has been on my list of applications I must install immediately on every system for at least 14 years now. I am always a bit shocked when I am reminded about how young of a project it is. I think the only younger tool that I always install is jq.

There's a few I now prefer over their old counterparts: fd, ag, bat.

fd and ag (or rg) just do what I expect them to, I don't need to think about how to use them. Both find and grep's syntax trip me up, even after 20 years of using them.

It's Google AdSense with Auto ads (In-page ads, Matched content, Anchor, Ad load: max). I reduced the Ad load to min just now.

That does seem a bit better, thanks.

One thing I'm noticing is that your text structure looks a bit similar to mine, and the short paragraphs don't dovetail well with horizontal ads. It's hard to track whether the text is part of the ad or the page.

I should probably keep that in mind if I start trying to make any of my own work pay for itself.

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

Last year I ran some simulations that maxed out a 48 core machine. That was a sight to see :D
