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

now I can finally live my dream of saying "it's a unix system I know this" in front of my family and non-technical friends while pulling this thing up and inspecting my bloated tmux processes running 20 claude code instances

Did a procfs scraper once, handling pids vanishing mid-read took me ages.

Obligatory reference to psDoom [1]. There’s something quite fun about killing the monster labeled “init” and poof! Your whole system is now dead.
