Which tool do you use to find duplicate files?
jdupes, an optimized fork of the popular fdupes. There's 32-bit and 64-bit Win32 packages of jdupes there on Github.

ISO: Binary File Comparison Tool for Duplicate File Checks
fdupes or jdupes work fine. For matching only (no auto-delete) I also use hashdeep - the tools should be available via the package manager of your choice, AFAIK jdupes provides Windows & Mac binaries on the page.

Pip and cargo are not the same
Yes, that would be safer when available (although generally files within library dependencies are not modified I think?). It looks like fclones implements this, is faster and is written in Rust https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones (the last is the most important point of course /s).

Go Find Duplicates: blazingly-fast simple-to-use tool to find duplicate files
See also fclones (focuses on performance, has benchmarks https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones). I didn't know about rdfind but thought the standard was fdupes https://github.com/adrianlopezroche/fdupes, which is as fast (or slow) as rdfind according to fclones (and fclones is much faster).
