Playing around with PeppermintOS on a "new " old laptop, and having fun. Its making me realize that tiny things can really work to impress. (Especially when you’re waiting on a ram upgrade, haha!)

Could be terminal based or GUI, I’m just curious—what tiny apps do you use that you think are neat? Things that don’t take up much storage or memory.

      When you’re dealing with log files that are on the order of 100 MB or 1+ GB in size, jq can, indeed, be a bit slow. Often I use grep as a first-pass filter, which speeds things up tremendously. I’ll have to give gojq a try and see if it makes the initial grep unneeded. The downside is that jq is often already installed everywhere I need it (VMs, base docker images, etc.), but gojq definitely is not (yet).
