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, iit got 900 votes on this sub and 797+ votes on another sub too (specifically this post https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/11hwqnb/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..

Any chance for an apt repo or ppa?

[omardotdev@sh.itjust.works]

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

[bluescreenofdeath@lemmy.world]

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

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

[emperor@reddthat.com]

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

[emperor@reddthat.com]

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

[omardotdev@sh.itjust.works]

yeah i think ima do that once i upgrade my system to fedora 42

[omardotdev@sh.itjust.works]

update: i did (commit: https://github.com/omardotdev/ramfetch/commit/31a08aaf1b6d3d3afd60a6abda78407d49b1bf4f)

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.

[lemmchen@feddit.org]

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.

[omardotdev@sh.itjust.works]

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

[omardotdev@sh.itjust.works]

oh its fine

[qaz@lemmy.world]

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

[omardotdev@sh.itjust.works]

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 tho..
