#terminal

Is there system information tool for linux that prints something like this on one line in terminal when run:

CPU: 40% | GPU: 20% | RAM: 12/16

Fastfetch does not support this kind of thing, it only has everything per line.

I want specifically everything on one line

#Joplin works on anything, even a #terminal. Syncs across platforms as well, if needed. The list of everything is at the bottom of the landing page.

It also has a robust message board and I've learned a lot of helpful things there.

Because I like to index a lot of things (in addition to tagging) I appreciate that I could use stuff like HTML to make internally-navigable note collections, as each individual note has its own link available.

Eg: I can organise my research notes easily by both date and alphabetical topic. I could also create a keyword index if I want/need.

Basically, #Joplin is extremely open: YOU decide what to do with it and how you want it to work.

For me, it genuinely revolutionised my life wrt those many bits of paper, whether simply for personal interest or critical data. 🙂

Good luck in your pursuit of the right solution for your needs! ❤️

Now people may ask things like: "Why?" and the answer is: For a primitive approach to #SecureComputing.

  • Because loading the #OS into #RAM allows not just for a non-persistent setup like an #SSH-#Terminal (think #VT320 but better!) but being hard-wired as #ReadOnly means it's tamper proof by design when combined with an intrusion-detection & tamper-proof seals: Physical Access will be detectable and Remote Access cannot cause permanent damages.

And that may also be useful with other #ThinClient-like "aplianced" devices.

  • Basically for anything where #NetworkBoot ain't an option for whatever reasons!

Vim users:

Do you use vi mode in your shell (bash, zsh, fish, etc.), the default bash mode, or something else?

I had the honour to be invited by @ZFAVClub to participate in an online live workshop exploring the mighty and wonderful CLI tool of the @internetarchive, in collaboration with @dweb 💕

If you are interested in data preservation and digital commons, please do watch it, as we did our best to shed some light on the most powerful yet little known features of this software.

The #InternetArchive is an invaluable resource for unlimited, public, open, and free storage for the whole Universe. It seems too good to be true, but it is!

We also touched upon the value of #FreeSoftware, #Linux, #decentralization, and #publicDomain.

Anyone can recommend forgotten books about designing and programming text user interfaces (TUI) for consoles/terminals, also known as screen design back in the 80s?

*Not* curses or using existing libraries, but more like relying directly on ANSI/VT100 control sequences. And *no*, I'm not asking for a list of escape sequences :)

The kind of material I'm thinking of is something close to the 1989 "Programming the User Interface: Principles and Examples" by Judith R. Brown and Steve Cunningham. But focused on TUI exclusively. The more (pseudo-)code, the better.
