I've been digging ncdu recently, which is basically a du replacement: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu
Ncdu is really useful for identifying space hogs.

#193I use vim exclusively, and use a terminal for most things.
FZF - fuzzy file finding lightning quick, I use this as a ctrl+p replacement in vim too. Kubectx - Supported by FZF. Quickly change k8s context and define namespaces easily too (Kubens)

#194a very useful set of utilities, that i only recently discovered here on hackernews are imv and qmv from http://www.nongnu.org/renameutils/
it makes renaming of long filenames much easier. especially if there are many files with similar names.

#198Earlier quoted context omitted.
Tail -f works by opening the file and remembering the byte offset, if it’s a log file that gets flushed/wiped then tail -f won’t see anything until the logs fill enough to exceed the previous file contents.
True, but the `-F` flag will work in that case.
TIL
Works on BSD `tail` too. :)

#199Ngrok - https://ngrok.com So easy and super convienient if you quickly need your local server accessible from somewhere else.
This one is even easier because it doesn't require to install anything, just make a good old ssh tunnel: http://localhost.run
Oh, looks like you can get a consistent sub-domain too, provided it's unique enough. Nice.
