I've been digging ncdu recently, which is basically a du replacement: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu
du -k --max-depth=2 * | sort -rn | head
Ymmv, but playing around with max-depth is usually enough to find the culprit for me.
Convert PDF to Word, Powerpoint to JPG, WMV to MP4, DWG to PDF etc:

Sort of on topic...Does anyone know of a good interactive resource for learning some of the tools that are included by default on UNIX systems? RTFM is useful, of course.
If you want something interactive as you work through the book (and even CLI itself), it would be hard to beat bash. ;-)
Scoop - https://scoop.sh It's basically apt/brew on Windows, but it's particularly awesome because it does not manage dependencies. It just downloads and extracts installers, which works because every self-respecting program that works on Windows distributes binaries as an installer (or just a zip) somewhere. Result: everything just works, every program is self-contained, no admin rights needed, no package maintainer…
So far I've been using Chocolatey ( https://chocolatey.org ) for doing this (and ninite though that's not command line). But this looks pretty cool too. Thanks for sharing!
I'm not sure what kind of interface you mean here, but judging by the responses graphical interface in terminal is OK. In that case,
*lazygit https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit
first GUI on top of git that I didn't hate. Primarily because it doesn't break the flow in command line. Instead of diff/add/commit I open this, but for the rest I still use git directly (or through aliases).

It's been mentioned previous, but you should check out ripgrep - it's even faster than Silver Searcher a lot of the time https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep
Does anyone not working on million-line codebase ever find themselves limited by grep? I am genuinely curious.

Intrigued by autosub, is it better than Youtube's auto-captions ?
Nice question! Here my personal setting: - Email : mutt [ http://www.mutt.org/ ] - Passwords manager : pass [ https://www.passwordstore.org/ ] - Navigate directories : autojump [ https://github.com/wting/autojump ] - Task manager : task [ https://taskwarrior.org/ ] - Music : cmus [ https://cmus.github.io/ ] - Text editor : emacs -nw [ https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ ]
I’ve always liked the idea of moving my email to mutt and using personal domains, but not convinced I could manage spam well.

I love fish-shell, but after years of using it I switched to Oh My ZSH! . The bash compatibility makes it a whole lot easier to use when you're the type of person who has to look up "how to do X on the command line" on the internet more often than you'd like to admit (that would be me). https://ohmyz.sh/
have you tried https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish ? has been serving me well for years
