  • trash-cli

    Command line interface to the freedesktop.org trashcan.

  • For Linux there's [trash-cli](https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/). Doesn't seem to work for MacOS per this issue (https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli/issues/284), but it suggests to use https://hasseg.org/trash/

  • FastDelete

    Multi-threaded directory delete tool

  • That's a neat trick; I was in a similar situation recently and wrote a tool that's faster for me though; for a million files ROBOCOPY was 257 seconds, but https://github.com/shaggie76/FastDelete did it in 34 seconds on a hex-core laptop.

  • liburing

  • We're working on this! https://github.com/axboe/liburing/issues/830

  • pipe-layer

    asynchronous bidirectional pipeline aware server controlled web transport

  • reply from jamie lokier will make my day any day.
