Slightly offtopic: the author says the background of https://hisham.hm/htop/ shows live statistics, that's not the case as far as I can tell, just 4 pre-recorded images shown successively.

Ontopic: Quite impressive setup. For me it would be too strictly regulated for a comfortable use, though technically I like it. To each it's own.

From the htop page:

  Thanks to Alexander Waldeck for the idea of having htop
  itself as the page background! His page actually presents 
  a live htop session -- mine is just an animated gif with
  a few frames stolen from his page. :-)

The drunken-security.at page is offline as far as I can tell, but as I recall it he eventually had to drop the htop background as people were DDOSing him to see the results.
