Atop vs Btop vs Htop vs Top: The Ultimate Linux Monitoring Tools Showdown

When it comes to keeping tabs on your Linux system’s performance, choosing the right monitoring tool can make all the difference between efficient troubleshooting and frustrating guesswork. From the classic ‘top’ command to more sophisticated alternatives like Atop, Btop, and Htop, Linux offers a range of options to suit different monitoring needs. System administrators and power users alike…

My laptop/desktop/server can only drive 2 additional displays, but I just gotta have that triple monitor setup. Tonight I finally made it work - had to go to Walmart and get a 25 foot HDMI cable.

Basically, the monitor is connected to another computer across the room which is then VNCing back into the main one. With a fullscreen viewer window on the monitor.

Annoyances:

There is a giant cord hanging over my bedroom door (it's mood but at some point I will need sth better to hang it with)

The mouse is invisible for some reason (Wayland tends to do that grrr)

If the display updates too fast it will crash the vnc server which also crashes the viewer. So both have to be running in while-true loops on the respective devices

I'm GOING TO FIND how to fix this Wayland invisible cursor issue. There's gotta be some cool feature nobody uses that errors out and causes no theme to be loaded and there's no fallback like on xorg or something

seriously considering buying a cheap second hand laptop for trying out new distros and otherwise fucking around with linux so i dont have to mess with my actual main setup

now back to our regularly scheduled goofs.

didja guys know once dia gets his roots settled he starts tinkering again!! A big part of his ever present depression on Alternia is he’s lost his drive to tinker. Man builds robots for nefarious purposes. I think he’d genuinely try to make like, a somewhat-coherent AI but he’s got no formal training or education so its just him figuring shit out the hard nd complicated way. He gets Leonra to look over some coding he did once and Leo forbids him from ever using a keyboard again. Code so spaghetti it’d put an Italian restaurant outta business

I wish to play around some more in the BG3 character creator but alas, my laptop is shit.

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

Comparative review of best #WiFi Adapters with monitor mode and packet injection capabilities for #KaliLinux for real-world.

I love it when I'm doing a headless setup of a raspberry pi and I need the mac address to register on the wifi, but I can only get the mac address once I've ssh-ed onto it from the same network, whihc requires registering onto the netwoRK WITH THE MAC ADDRESS--

so. a long time ago on a planet far far away (earlier this year in the room im sitting in now) i switched to using wezterm, and in that i configured a neat little status bar that outputted the cpu, ram, and timestamp of the current system. was cool, but only worked for the system it was running on, and i ssh into another machine for work

at some point i started using tmux full-time (multiplexing is broken in wezterm), but i still wanted this status bar, so i bit the bullet and rewrote the entire thing as a nushell script and integrated it into tmux. this worked brill, since it now worked for the current system i was logged into

unfortunately, it wasnt perfect since i am using sys cpu in nushell to get the cpu load, which measures over 400ms, meaning every call to the status line took at least that long. this was fine i guess, it sometimes caused some timing issues but worked well enough

well enough until just the last few days, when i switched to zellij. now it does status bars completely differently, but the upshot is that there's a separate instance for each tab. this is fine normally, but now it means that every tab i have (which can be quite a few) is running this long-winded cpu monitoring process every second and all out of order

so i've just said fuck it. my macs now have a launchd agent, my linuxs now have a systemd service. these things now run a single cpu monitoring call on loop in the background and dump it to a json file, from which the status line now reads from if it can and uses instead. that status line call has gone from 450ms to 50ms. the underlying call to collect all the system info has gone from 400ms to <1ms. all my tabs have the same values at the same time. all is good
