For a more interesting graph, you could make a combination of the last graph and an overlay with filename or filetype for each section of the curve. For example colored by filetype.

That was .. less interesting than I was expecting. I was hoping for something which would overlay the source text with different colours for each coding block from the Huffman table, or similar.

Edit: another comment mentions gzthermal, which is what I was looking for!

Isn't it almost standard to prefix by "$ " (regular unprivileged user) and "# " (root) for shell commands?

This is because the post was originally written as a Jupyter notebook [1] and exported as markdown. These notebooks allow you to mix markdown and code which is executed interactively, and use `!` as a special syntax to denote bash commands instead of Python statements.

Ah, that makes sense!
