Quick VPS check scripts: hardware + network + Geekbench
Hey guys 👋
I built a tiny open-source toolkit for quick VPS / server checks. No install, no daemon, run it and you’re done.
- Website: https://catbash.net/
- GitHub: https://github.com/Yuri-NagaSaki/SICK
What’s inside
- SICK — hardware overview (CPU, RAM, disks, NICs, etc.)
- NETS — public iperf3 send/recv samples
- CPUX — Geekbench 5 / 6 / 7 CPU scores in the terminal
- menu — pick one of the above interactively
Previews (terminal output)
SICK
NETS
CPUX
Try it
Menu:
curl -sL https://ba.sh/menu | bash
Or run each tool directly:
curl -sL https://ba.sh/sick | bash
curl -sL https://ba.sh/nets | bash
curl -sL https://ba.sh/cpux | bash
Same stuff on the site if you prefer: https://catbash.net/
A note on NETS
For network tests I reuse a bunch of public iperf3 endpoints from various providers (shared nodes — sometimes busy, sometimes fail, that’s normal).
If anyone has more / better / more stable public iperf3 targets to share, I’d love to add them. PRs and tips welcome.
What’s next
Planning a disk I/O test script next, same “one curl and go” style.

Feedback is very welcome — thanks for reading.

First
ur cpux script
Is it vibe-coded slop?
What makes it better than YABS beyond displaying a little bit more information about hardware?
Can you make better version @forest ? I'm itching to put my IO test... But nobody want to wait half a day for YABS like test
Depends on what you want. It's a pretty simple script.
Btw, YABS just uses existing, 3rd party utilities. If you want to test I/O, check out
fio.looks fine
The age of TUI :-/ ehhh...
yeah skip the ba.sh domain and directly use
