More of those CLI Utilities

I’ve found some more CLI utilities (via this thread) that look like they’re worth further investigation.

Zola, a static site generator
fd (a/k/a fd-find), an “80% replacement” for find; see also fselect
xsv, a tool for working with CSV files
broot, another disk analysis/tree replacement
sd, a sed replacement
cw, a wc replacement
hors, a combination of lynx and the technical web (which I couldn’t build on my Linux system because it’s running gcc instead of clang). (Ditto ‘bat’ btw.)
lolcate, a locate/updatedb replacement

I’m intrigued by topgrade but a little terrified of actually using it.

And I found the indispensable utility called genact.

You can’t ship laptop batteries to Alaska

This sucks. You can’t bring a battery through security (as carry-on luggage) unless it’s powering a device. So that eliminates replacement batteries for a device you aren’t carrying with you. And you can’t take a lithium battery as checked luggage in passenger aircraft. Period.

Nor does there appear to be any way (for a consumer)Â to ship stuff here on a genuine cargo plane.

Well. That throws a monkey wrench in my plans.
