What utilities do you like that others mightn't know about? Ideally for the terminal, but anything is welcome. All of these I've listed are for *nix. I recently started using nnn as a secondary file manager since I have to deal with some folders with tens of thousands of files (music, videos, pictures), and waiting for other file managers (or even ls) to collate everything is awful. PCManFM is my normal desktop file manager, and while I like it, it absolutely hates my media folders because they're so full. nnn is pretty much instant, and integrates pretty well into the desktop despite being a command line program. Useful keys are ? (view other keybinds), ^H (rename), arrow keys (open/back for left/right, nav for up/down), and t (change sort order). iotop is very useful, showing you what process is doing a bunch of disk I/O. I use it when I'm doing a big file transfer to see how things are going with the rest of the system. My Pi 4 is definitely I/O limited and I have too much plugged in over USB and I have too much running at once. It's also saved me quite a bit of trouble when some program has gone off the rails and is downloading something in the background because the process it spawned didn't die when the main program did. fdupes searches for duplicate files in a given folder. fdupes -d $target_folder will do the trick for interactive deletion of duplicates. Dead useful when dealing with pictures. I have a small wrapper script on my machine that pops up a dialog with zenity to select a folder, then it opens an xterm window to ask for which filename to delete. I feel like everyone should know about yt-dlp already, but if you don't... it lets you download videos/audio from wherever. Mostly YouTube, but it works with a lot of sites. If something needs you to be logged in to access, use the --cookies-from-browser firefox option (replace with chrome/chromium if you use that). I have a bunch of convenience scripts since it's a bit of a hassle to remember how to invoke it for a given task other than "download the highest quality version from the site given". My Pi 4 does not enjoy trying to play 4K videos, for example.
>>82 nice microwave picture. one thing i stopped using was nvim to program in. nvim is good and all to go in ssh and edit configs or a file you have. but even bloating it to hell with plugins that wipe your ass it still dose not beat using vscode for coding. i am sure every one knows about ani-cli to stream anime from the terminal. uses yt-dlp and mpv. another one i used witch i cant seem to get compiled is sherlock for hunting down people's accounts

>>83 Never did end up becoming a vim guy. I don't quiiite like using VSCode since it genuinely feels like it's doing too much magic behind the scenes (I don't know how to explain it better), but it is just dead useful. Certain things, it's my go-to tool just because of how well it integrates, but if I don't actually need that kind of deep integration, I'm not touching it.
