ramfetch is a fetch tool which displays memory info using /proc/meminfo i made back in christmas 2022 (i was around 11 years old at the time, currently 13) it got pretty popular on this sub and also some other subs aswell, it got 900 votes on this sub and 797+ votes on another sub too (specifically this post reddit.com/…/oc_ramfetch_with_some_new_stuff/) ,but i decided to remove it since i kinda thought it was dead, but i brought it back with a new version and config file…

repo: github.com/omardotdev/ramfetch

Damn, way to go. That’s some talent. Stick with it, and you’ll go places.

you should use #!/usr/bin/env sh for better compability.

Any chance for an apt repo or ppa?

omardotdev@sh.itjust.works on 15 Apr 14:22 collapse

i could make a ppa for ramfetch, i can make a debian virtual machine and test the ppa and the package out

Oh, I’ve just noticed it is a singular bash script? I don’t think you need to go through the trouble of creating a .deb repo/ppa then. I was just a bit worried about the installation process.

oh its fine

BluescreenOfDeath@lemmy.world on 15 Apr 15:14 next collapse

Looks pretty neat.

Is there a way to have it run like a ram statistics monitor? I’d love to have this running in a terminal window to monitor my ram statistics.

i think you can use watch -c bash ramfetch, also i released an update which rewrites the whole parsing part of ramfetch which makes it more accurate and faster

Emperor@reddthat.com on 15 Apr 17:03 collapse

you shouldn’t need the bash if you have a proper shebang

oh

Nice, any hope of an AUR update? The older package is still there, but hasn’t been updated in over 8 months for the -git version, 2 years for stable.

omardotdev@sh.itjust.works on 16 Apr 05:53 collapse

i’ve contacted the maintainer on matrix to update the package but theres still no respone, same for the nix package

It would be cool if it also showed the speed and the current speed

omardotdev@sh.itjust.works on 16 Apr 13:13 collapse

that would be awesome but i can’t seem to get ram speed from /proc/meminfo or other files (i tried to look files in /sys and other directories for the ram speed) since they aren’t there so i dont think i can really add that… i tried to look online too but they seem to use lshw/dmidecode which i don’t really wanna use
