pwru VS navi

if you have a recent enough kernel, this change https://github.com/cilium/pwru/pull/148 means that it will print the reason the packet was dropped in the output - see https://lwn.net/Articles/885729/

There's a whole heap of reasons a packet can be dropped:

[pwru](https://github.com/cilium/pwru) is a fun new tool from the Cilium folks for tracing network packets in the kernel. Like tcpdump but it shows you the full path including kernel syscalls. Lets you debug much deeper than "when the packet gets to this port it gets dropped".

I recently came across another useful utility for debugging unexpected packet drops - PWRU[0] (Packet, Where Are You) by Cilium.

It uses eBPF to try to trace the path of the packet through the kernel. Haven't needed to use it yet, but it could have saved me a lot of trouble in the past.

I've built something similar for myself (fzf+a bit of shell). But I realized that fzf's history view (with very long history buffer) works much better for my use case.

I still needed something to cover rare commands with dynamic arguments. That got covered by Navi: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi (takes more friction to add new command than with TBMK, but you get much more organized and easier to search tool).

Similar projects (in a way): navi

I think navi is a better alternative. You can create custom cheats too.

navi might help you with that

I like using navi, but idk if you want something that runs in the terminal.

There's also a cli program called tealdeer that does this kind of thing and uses a local cache. And there's a fuzzy search interactive cli cheatsheet program called navi that's also pretty cool (and you can write your own cheatsheets).
