Terminal Tools
Aug 7, 2020
As the workstation I station my work at slowly evolves, I grow forgetful of all the little things I have done to make it comfortable and efficient.
Command Line tools
Lnav
Is a log file viewer with some great features for search, syntax highlighting, and in / out filtering, that makes it realy quick to understand the information in a log file. What is good about it, is that it is powerful like having a log agergation platform, but it is just a lightweight command line application.
Htop
is better than top
Ranger
Is a “A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console”. It can be used for very quick navigation of files. it also integrates with iterm, and other terminal apps to allow for preview of images.

Termshark is a A terminal UI for tshark, inspired by Wireshark About it. It seems the doccuments are a bit sparse. If there is anythign that is unclear, it is probably something that can be looked up in the wireshark docs.. like what scale a suration number is in etc. these are just concepts taken directly from wireshark.

There is a dictionary for displaying the English meaning of words typed in Japanse. usefuland a dictionary for translating words typed in Japanse to English. not too useful for me.
