I was looking for the config of my cpu so lscpu was easier than going through the settings and looking it up.

Gives you the CPU model name and everything, pretty cool.

ncdu has been really useful for my linux based NAS

Disk usage analyzer, nice. I haven't used this yet. I've only used df. Ncdu looks good.

ripgrep
lnav
fdfind
vgrep
dunst

Lemme know how you use dunst. I just let it do its thing with my i3 setup but it would be cool to learn how to use it in meaningful ways.

ripgrep looks super fast

Brian • Jul 16 '20

It's ridiculously unbelievably fast honestly. There's also ripgrep-all that searches even more filetypes, including a slew of binary times that's still a berjillion time faster than grep.

I like to use where a lot
