This is in the top class of utilities (htopm etc). A good name could probably be bwtop, or tcptop or iftop. Actually I searched for these, and turns out iftop

Actually I searched for these, and turns out iftop exists! (https://linux.die.net/man/8/iftop https://linux.die.net/man/8/iftop)
- floatingatoll 7y ago‘whatop’
- dpwm 7y agoiftop is a remarkably useful utility. It's often one of the first things I install on new openwrt installations.
- acranox 7y agoEver since I installed SQM on openwrt, I don’t really care what’s using the bandwidth anymore since it doesn’t impact any other users on the network. :) It’s true though that iftop is a very useful tool.
- joshspankit 7y agoStill nice in some cases to find applications/devices that are going wild due to a bug
- iso1631 7y agoiftop (and ifstat) are part of my preseed file, along with tcpdump, (and htop/iostat/pidstat/mpstat) For a router I'd also put ntopng on.
- rotten 7y agoMy complaint about the name is that it would be hard to "google" it. This means if I don't bookmark it or remember where I found it, then a couple of years from now when my laptop needs to be rebuilt, I'll have the darndest time finding it to install it again.

- aliveupstairs 7y agoThis effectively made github my second search engine. We should have an AskHN on how to find software in general.
- lostlogin 7y agoI’m using multiple search engines more and more. Possibly this is due to me usually bypassing google to avoid the ad laden hits. A view with search results from a few sources comes to mind as a solution. Another back burner project.
- aliveupstairs 7y agoYou can do this with browser search engines, but as a DuckDuckGo user, I can !bang search_term (`!gh`, `!github` to search in github.) Now, I think DuckDuckGo is very lacking in terms of Zero-click searching, but if I know where to get information I can !bang to it (e.g., `!hn what`) or if you're feeling luck `\hn what` will open the first search result. Much better than spending an afternoon setting up search engines.
- overcast 7y agoEvery browser has book marking syncing in some capacity these days. It's the equivalent of losing contacts with a new phone in 1999.
- airstrike 7y agowhatif or whif would be great names
- em-bee 7y agoi really like whatif. whif less so, that just doesn't seem to smell right.
- blackhaz 7y agoAnother option, since there are so many "tops," is something like psbw... Process bandwidth. Reminiscent of ps ax but ps bw.
