I love open source devs from the bottom of my heart ❤️
yes it's true, here's a github issue thread if you want to read more
- The clock is ticking for my Devuan VM (kernel update etc.). Where has htop's iconic “(!)” after 100+ days of uptime gone?

Ask HN: What are good high information density UIs (screenshots, apps, sites)
I like that the U.S. Graphics Company link has a bunch of TUI examples.
htop came to mind.

Essential Deep Learning Checklist: Best Practices Unveiled
How to Accomplish: Evaluate the computational requirements of your project early on, considering model complexity, dataset size, and expected training duration. Opt for high-performance GPUs for intensive computation tasks and ensure the CPU is powerful enough to manage data preprocessing and I/O operations. Use tools like NVIDIA's nvidia-smi and htop to monitor resource usage and adjust your infrastructure as needed.

Ask HN: Interesting TUIs (text user interfaces), maybe forgotten ones?
These certainly aren't forgotten, but I like:
* `ranger` file manager: https://ranger.github.io/
* `ncdu` for visualising disk usage: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu
* `htop` process monitor: https://htop.dev/
I just find them very intuitive, and information-dense while not being overwhelming.

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
Probably everyone knows about the "top" command. Htop is similar, but gives us a more user-friendly output. It shows processes using the most resources, how much available resources you have and who runs those processes. For more information, visit https://htop.dev/

distro hopping
determine which processes consume specific resources (in your particular case even a "5 minutes session of staring at htop" would do the trick.) (Alternatives: ps -ef, ps aux, top, glances ... )
- some LXC exposing Host CPU Information

Linux on older hardware as a programmer
When you see the laptop throttling, is htop or another monitoring program showing that the RAM is full, or is it only partly used?

Arc 80% CPU load!
I like htop to check system resources
