Yeah, it can't be a monitoring tool because of the cmatrix info.

Speaking so much about posturing has broken me. I was watching this typically 
silly youtube video about the recent Twitter tool that shows the "locations" of 
the accounts and one of the cut fillers was this:

It's used a LOT. I mean a lot a lot. I decided to see if gemma3 could tell what 
it was. It came close, identifying `htop`. But that's only 1 of the columns in 
the video. It's fairly easy to generate a similar display with `screen` and the 
like. I use `byobu`. On top looks like `dmon`. `cmatrix` is in column 7. (We 
know it's `cmatrix` and not some other flavor because in column 3, you see 
`/usr/bin/cmatrix` in what looks like a process list or somesuch. Column for 
looks like `tree`. Etc.

I started to recreate it. But column 1 looks like a script that takes some 
technical name of a resource and converts it into the phonetic alphabet. I'm 
not gonna write that script. I just fudged the rest. Time well spent? No, of 
course not. Did it distract me from hovering over the stupid graphRAG workflow? 
Yes, absolutely.
