Today my friend wrote a [blog post](https://awestover.github.io/skyspace/posts/systems/02-29-24.html) titled "A Useful Command", which inspired me to do the same. Except instead of one command, you get six! And I know one of my [first blog posts](/posts/best-cli-tools/) was about a similar topic, but this post has completely different commands.

| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `time read` | Simple stopwatch |
| `gdu` | Really fast disk usage analyzer |
| `sd` | Insanely fast flash cards app ([shameless self-promotion](https://git.exozy.me/a/SDC)) |
| `scrcpy` | Mirror and control an Android device from a computer |
| `systemd-nspawn` | Container tool that you probably already have installed |
| `inotifywait` | Wait for file change (useful in scripts) |
