How to make sure an Xbox disc is 100% readable ?
As an example, one of the main tools for dumping that you will find on their guide (MPF) even has an option to dump the disc twice and compare the hashes because sometimes due to a variety of reasons, like scratches, aged laser diode, copy protection shenanigans, etc. the disc won't be read correctly so the hashes won't match.

How do I rip bluray/dvd’s/ps2 games? And what is the recommended storage product and size to use?
I can recommend https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator . It handles all kinds of weird formats and copy protections, and it's open source! You can use https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF as the frontend if you like.

Where to find latest addition in a romset
Be aware that some games are MIA (Miss In Action), so it's kinda pointless to try to find them, except if you have an original copy of those games and you dump it yourself by using the Media Preservation Frontend tool ( https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest ).

Slightly off topic - Does anyone know how to make an ISO out of a RAW RIP?
There is a preservation group called redump.org that preserves all sorts of disc based content ranging from CDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, Blu-Rays and Video Games. They use a program called MPF (Media Preservation Frontend) which can be found here..

Do you guys have any idea of how to rip PS1 game files (roms) from discs?
Best tool to dump disc based games it's the MPF, it can also be used to report the hashes to the redump database: https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest

ISOs are nice but sometimes you need to hoard the originals for the complete experience. (And also rip them to ISO)
How do you rip your games? Some of them come with pretty tricky copy protection. Still trying to figure out a consistent "one shot" method. Currently using a combination of MPF and Alcohol.

Hyperfine: A command-line benchmarking tool
hyperfine is such a great tool that it's one of the first I reach for when doing any sort of benchmarking.
I encourage anyone who's tried hyperfine and enjoyed it to also look at sharkdp's other utilities, they're all amazing in their own right with fd[1] being the one that perhaps get the most daily use for me and has totally replaced my use of find(1).

Z – Jump Around
You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.
I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

Unix as IDE: Introduction (2012)
Many (most?) of them have been overhauled with success. For find there is fd[1]. There's batcat, exa (ls), ripgrep, fzf, atuin (history), delta (diff) and many more.
Most are both backwards compatible and fresh and friendly. Your hardwon muscle memory still of good use. But there's sane flags and defaults too. It's faster, more colorful (if you wish), better integration with another (e.g. exa/eza or aware of git modifications). And, in my case, often features I never knew I needed (atuin sync!, ripgrep using gitignore).

My "solution" to this is using https://github.com/sharkdp/fd (even when in zsh and having glob support). I'm not sure if using a tool that's not present by default would be suitable for your use cases, but if you're considering alternate shells, I suspect you might be

Bfs 3.0: The Fastest Find Yet
Nice to see other alternatives to find. I personally use fd (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) a lot, as I find the UX much better. There is one thing that I think could be better, around the difference between "wanting to list all files that follow a certain pattern" and "wanting to find one or a few specific files". Technically, those are the same, but an issue I'll often run into is wanting to search something in dotfiles (for example the Go tools), use the unrestricted mode, and it'll find the few files I'm looking for, alongside hundreds of files coming from some cache/backup directory somewhere. This happens even more with rg, as it'll look through the files contents.
I'm not sure if this is me not using the tool how I should, me not using Linux how I should, me using the wrong tool for this job, something missing from the tool or something else entirely. I wonder if other people have this similar "double usage issue", and I'm interested in ways to avoid it.
