This looks great. I've been looking for something simple like this...assuming I’m understanding it correctly.

I recently picked up a refurbished Lenovo ThinkStation, and it's an absolute beast. I keep it next to my main work machine and offload all the heavy work to it like running multiple agents, jobs, etc. It's connected via Tailscale, and I’m usually just SSH'd into it.

What I'm missing is a clean, easy way to see what's actually going on on that machine at a glance. Looks like this might fit the bill?

Author here. Built this because I got tired of having 5 SSH sessions open simultaneously just to check if anything is on fire. Happy to answer questions. Especially I'm proud with my braille sparkline ascii charts renderer.

Trying to use this now. The README says it reads `deflect.json` next to the script, but there's no reference to this anywhere else in the README. Can you clarify? Also, a small, ergonomic nice-to-have suggestion: add a script section at the top to make this runnable standalone using uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/scripts/#declaring-script-d...)
