ProcInSh - 3D Linux process inspector in your browser
Show HN: Procinsh – A 3D Linux process inspector
ProcInSh is a web-based process inspector for Linux that turns system monitoring into a 3D journey. Inspired by Ghost in the Shell, it lets you wander through process space, visualizing processes as interactive 3D objects. Built with Rust and eBPF, it provides deep insights into process memory and environment variables. Install via crates.io or build from source, then open your browser to explore. Ideal for developers and sysadmins seeking a novel way to understand their system.
Like Ghost in the Shell, you can wander through process space with your ghost.

I built procinsh, a 3D Linux process inspector inspired by Ghost in the Shell.
It visualizes running processes and their relationships in a 3D UI. Process activity, memory maps, file I/O, and socket communication are reflected in real time.
The backend is written in Rust and uses procfs, eBPF, ptrace, and process_vm_readv to collect information from the system.

Over 20 years ago we had a doom in which your processes were represented by monsters and killing them sent the kill signal. :)

this looks something pulled straight from a hacker tv show that I would have thought fake as hell
