Atuin – Magical Shell History

So I recently got a Macbook for use at work, and decided to learn a bit more about zsh, the default shell.
Things escalated quickly.
Yesterday I switched all my Linux machines to zsh.
Today I submitted a patch to the zsh developers that adds some configurability to one of the default prompts. 😄
Switching to zsh from bash was painless and fun. It seems like almost everyone defaults to using oh-my-zsh, but I found that the plain vanilla default configuration in Ubuntu/Debian is already much nicer than bash.
If you're a bash user, it seems like everything Just Works. But! You can tab-complete way more stuff! It's great. I love love the command option completion and expansion: type "rsync -<TAB>" and you get a full page of rsync options and descriptions of them!
No more starting a command...thinking of what you want it to do, and forgetting the option name...erasing the command, looking at the man page, searching for the option, quitting, retyping the command...
🚀 Wow, yet another CLI framework promising to be "blazing fast"🔥. Because, clearly, the world was desperately lacking yet another way to make command-line tools "ergonomic" 🙄. Meanwhile, Zig enthusiasts rejoice—finally, something to occupy them besides debating semicolon placements. 🎉

So I just learned about fzf, the "fuzzy finder", and its integration with your shell. OMG it's amazing!

You can pretty much just type ** (or ctrl-T) wherever you want a file. Do ctrl-R and get shell history search. Use alt-C to change directories.
Very simple and SUPER useful!
Ah yes, the world desperately needs another command line tool for #macOS because double-clicking is just too mainstream. 🎉 Now you can spend hours mastering syntax to set file openers instead of actually opening files. 🤦♂️ Bravo, tech world!

🚨BREAKING: Another shiny toy for the five people who actually know what an "embedded linker" is! 🎉🔗💾 Pro tip: Enable #JavaScript first—because nothing screams "cutting-edge tech" like needing web support for command-line tools. 🙄💻

That's right! Airdrop files right from the command line

brew install vldmrkl/formulae/airdrop-cli
Apparently, getting a bibtex item from a DOI through the commandline is not very difficult!

Looks like a pretty interesting resource. Posting it here largely as a reminder to myself, but maybe new to some others as well.
I'm kinda looking for a cat replacement (like bat) that doesn't just fail when called with the path of a directory, but instead lists the directories contents.
(But ofc, I don't want to blindly have an if around cat and ls because I don't want to fool myself when a text file contains the output of ls)
With output for human consumption, not to replace cat in scripts.

Agedu – A Useful Tool for Tracking Down Wasted Disk Space in Linux based on old unused files
Linux provides a standard du command, which scans entire disk and shows you which directories hold the huge amount of data. That can assist you narrow your search to the things most useful deleting.
However, that only shows you what’s huge. What you actually want to know is what’s too huge. By default, du command will not let you differentiate between data that’s huge because you are doing something that needs it to be huge, and data that’s huge because you unpacked it once and ignored about it.
Most Linux file systems, by default only shows when a file was last accessed, but not shown when it was written, modified or even read. So if you created a huge amount of data years ago, forgot to delete it and have never used it since, then it is important to use those last-access time stamps to know the difference between used and unused data.
Agedu pronounced as (age dee you) is an open source and free utility (much like du command) that helps system administrators to track down wasted disk space used by old files and delete them to free up some space.
Agedu does a complete scan and produces reports that shows how much disk space is utilized by each directory and sub directory along with the last-access times of files. In simple words, it simply helps you to free up disk space.
