How can my system load be so high if the CPUs are barely being used? Disk IO?
Well... What that's showing is that at some point in time you copied some pages into swap. Since there's no competition for that, they have just stayed there. It doesn't mean that you are seeing memory pressure now, only that at some point since the last reboot your memory usage passed the high water mark which encouraged the kernel to start thinking about swap. If you have sysstat installed you can run through sar to see when that was and even get some idea of whether or not any of those pages written to swap were ever read again, but just having some pages written to swap doesn't mean a whole lot on its own.

How to do a hard reboot remotely on an Intel NUC
You can try sysstat/ iostat. https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat Have a cron or systemd process take periodic snapshots and log them or email them. The swordfish on paper looks fast enough, but it’s on the slow side for a NVMe. For reference I’m running a NUC8 i5 with 16GB of RAM, 1 TB Adata XPG SX8200 Pro and it’s been rock solid. Ubuntu 20.04LTS.
- I made a terminal utility to monitor some system stats. Was wondering if you guys know of anything better or if I should continue dev work on it since we need it?

I recently made a media control program to bind my keyboard's multimedia keys to, even though there's a million of them out there with different features or whatever - I'm also currently working on a FastCGI indexer to use instead of PHP for indexing my personal fileserver 💪💪
