pushed a commit to gentoo/gentoo that referenced this issue on Mar 6, 2022

That time frame sure is disheartening.

Closed as completed; but I can reproduce the original issue. @Layer-09, do you know the current state of affairs?

[Layer-09]

The nyx project is deprecated, and the last commit was from two years ago. The original issue in their repo has not seen a solution and probably never will, @iblech.

With that in mind, I suppose this would be the ideal time to ping somebody and request the removal of this broken package. Perhaps @dawidd6 or @offlinehacker are aware of the correct way to go about this.

Thank you for your quick comment! (FWIW, now that you made me aware of the circumstances, I agree with your proposed solution.) (Do you happen to know alternatives? arm seems to have seen its last commit 13 years ago...)

Tor Metrics and TorMap provide an easy way to find details about your relay, though not to the extent of a monitoring application such as nyx.

If you're interested in seeing details per session, you may use systemctl status tor.service to see the total of internet data you contributed (e.g. 60GB) until that moment. The internet panel in btop allows you to see how much data you contribute per second.

Other than that, there is Wireshark if you want to analyze internet traffic thoroughly, @iblech.

Thank you for your comprehensive answer, @Layer-09, very much appreciated!
