micro, mc, ag silver searcher, stat, find, aria2c, xev, w3m, wmctrl, nohup, xdotool, docker, php, ffmpeg, phantomjs, du, ls [From my history file, all others are homemade scripts and little functions in .bashrc]
- v_lisivka 8y agoncdu is much better than just du.
- NVRM 8y agoThanks. Will try it in details. Currently, it is taking like really forever to scan my bunchs of old school hard drives! du options are easy to remember, ergonomy first^ May I suggest a good one to remember `ls -ltrapR` <- It always kill anyone aside ;)
- NVRM 8y agoAnd it was an amazing jump in productivity when i forced myself to learn `stat` shortcuts. Recommended!
- detuur 8y agoGenuinely the only way I use du is like this: du -sh * which shows total disk usage for every file and folder in the current directory. I've actually aliased it as `dush` because I use it so often. Bonus tip: if you're using btrfs, it has a built-in du that keeps track of cow statistics, so you can see which files/folders are deduped and which aren't. It's invoked with btrfs filesystem du -s * or (because the btrfs binary understands abbreviations) btrfs fi du -s *
