Bandwhich VS sd

For the CLI, I recently found bandwich: https://github.com/imsnif/bandwhich

The cargo install is currently borked but the prebuilt bin works fine.

found a new one: bandwhich (https://github.com/imsnif/bandwhich)

bandwhich: A terminal bandwidth utilization tool. This CLI utility displays current network utilization by process, connection and remote IP/hostname.

You can use a tool like https://github.com/imsnif/bandwhich while playing to see if something is running in the background like apt, fwupd, etc. See if something on your system is eating network resources while playing. If you see nothing you're welcome to message me and I can give you a couple of other things to try.

Bandwhich?

I wanted to like sd but it doesn't support my main use case of recursive search/replace. Imagine every time you wanted to grep some files you had to build a find+xargs+rg pipeline... it just takes me out of the flow too much. I'm glad people are posting other options here, I'm looking forward to trying them.

sd

https://github.com/chmln/sd ftw (sed rebuilt in rust, much easier imho) ;-)

sd is a more intuitive alternative to sed, focussing on making find and replace easier - which is all I ever used sed for.

If it's in multiple files? To be honest, I'd just use a terminal and sed (or sd if you want something with a more friendly interface).

I love the idea and I'll try it out, but a heads up in case the author is around: the name sd clashes with another tool [0], which works as an alternative to sed.

I use that one pretty often, so maybe my first managed script will be one which symlinks binaries :)

sd is a find-and-replace CLI, and you can use it as a replacement for sed and awk. It is way more user-friendly and modern. It is also magnitudes faster than sed.
