cpu: {cpu} | mem: {mem} | {net}

With Nvidia GPU

cpu: {cpu} | gpu: {nvgpu} {nvgputemp} | mem: {mem} | {net}

With Disk Space

cpu: {cpu} | mem: {mem} | root: {fs///} | {net}

Available Sensors

Sensor	Description
{cpu}	CPU usage percentage
{mem}	Memory usage percentage
{net}	Network speed (up/down)
{nvgpu}	Nvidia GPU usage (requires nvidia-smi)
{nvgputemp}	Nvidia GPU temperature
{amdgpu}	AMD GPU usage (if available)
{fs///path}	Disk space at path (e.g., {fs///} for root)
{publicip}	Public IP address
{publiccountryiso}	Country ISO code
{upordown}	Internet connection status

Custom Scripts
