You can also type 'm' to make top show the memory numbers as an ascii bar graph. The man page explains what VIRT RES SHR mean.

I read email with mutt in an xterm. Here's my current my current,
deprecated, setup with Urlview. It's a two-step process...
1) In "~/.mutt/muttrc" in the "Macros" section, as one long line, tell
mutt to feed the message through "urlview" when you hit uppercase U,
either {SHIFT}{U} or "u" with {CAPSLOCK} enabled.
macro pager U ":set pipe_decode\n|urlview\n:unset pipe_decode\n" "extract URLs
out of a message"
2) In "~/.urlview" two lines tell Urlview what regexp to match as a URL
and what to do when the user selects a URL. I don't know if the
"width/height" parameters are honoured any more in Pale Moon
REGEXP (((https?|ftp)|mailto):(//)?[^ >"\t]*|www\.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;\t>">\):]
COMMAND palemoon -width 950 -height 1050 -P email %s &
My workflow is...
* I'm reading an email, and I come across a URL I want to look at.
* I hit {SHIFT}{U} and a list of URLS from that email pops up at the top.
See the attached PNG image. I'm using a "what's coming soon" email
from Netflix as an example.
* Use the UP and DOWN keys on the keyboard to select the URL you're
interested in, i.e the arrow at the left of the image.
* Hit {ENTER} and the selected URL shows up at the bottom of my xterm.
I can edit the URL if it want to. Hitting {ENTER} again launches the
command (i.e. Pale Moon with the the email profile), or {CTRL}{C}
backs out.

My /etc/portage/repos.conf/ I just drop you two links to the wiki, which do explain both an overlay from an external/remote/foreign source aswell as a local-only overlay. I do prefer app-eselect/eselect-repository over layman, but that is just personal preference. remote/foreign source: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ebuild_repository local only: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_ebuild_repository You already have a local repo in /usr/local/portage, so could use this: > cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/localrepo.conf > [localrepo] > location = /usr/local/portage Hope that helps and feel free to come back and ask if you get stuck somewhere.

On systems that I setup assuming I wouldn’t need swap, I set swappiness low and add a swap file (on ssd if possible) so the bigger builds can at least finish, albeit more slowly. Generally swap never gets touched. I also use zswap with zstd or lz4, which perform better than the old lzo deflate/zlib options, sometimes by a wide margin. I don’t bother with /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs any more as it seemed to be more trouble than it was worth.
[gentoo-user] Gnome-shell crashing
Im my logs i see entries like Traps: gnome-shell trap int3 in libglib Is the issue more likely to be in glib than gnome-shell? Should I mask off the latest version and try again or is there a better approach?
