imcat VS glances

I tried TIV and I liked it pretty much, but for me, the output of imcat looks better.

imcat - images in terminal (doesn't work in urxvt, works well in tilix/tty {tested there})

Do you have a specific gripe against X11? Again, it would be very much against the Unix philosophy to roll that highly complex functionality into the core SSH protocol. The problem would still be just as complex and challenging. Implementing a network-transparent GUI always is. You'd lose the separation of concerns, and you'd end up running two GUI systems rather than one.

If you want a very basic GUI over SSH without a full-blown GUI like with X11, you already have the option of using a TUI like Midnight Commander. You can preview images on the command-line, with a tool like imcat. [0]

Glances

As is from their github repository.

If I pin a version of Python, isn't that going to wreck any tooling that depends on it? Unless you're saying have multiple versions of Python installed.

This is practically the only remaining annoyance I have with the Python ecosystem (relative imports aside). I use some tools, like Glances [0] whose formula relies on a much newer version (3.12) than the actual package requires (3.8) [1].

So when there's a Python update, all of those update as well. I thought I'd fixed this with pipx, but in a way that's worse, because the venvs it builds depend on a specific version of Python existing, which doesn't work well with brew always wanting to upgrade it.

I want a stable, system-level Python that I don't touch, don't add packages to, and which only exists as a dependency for anything that needs it. If an update would break a package I have installed (due to Python library deprecation, etc.), it should warn me before updating. Otherwise, I don't care, as long as any symlinks are taken care of.

Separately, I want a stable, user-level Python that I can do whatever I want to. Nothing updates it automatically. I can accomplish this by compiling Python and using `make altinstall`, but if there's a better way, I'd love to hear about it.

Wanting to get Glances installed on OPNsense for its integration into homepage.

I don't try but maybe glance https://github.com/nicolargo/glances

In the meantime Glances is a pretty good way to keep an eye on CPU and memory usage of all your containers. You can either run it as a lightweight docker image or as a native application on your host.
