Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?

This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.

For example I’m surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.

Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.

    I keep mine in Bitwarden, I export that data every 3 months and store it in a Backblaze backup, I have it written on a piece of paper stored in a locked fire box in my house, and that paper scanned in my phone.

    I can’t imagine not having at least one of those in 10 years and I can’t imagine all four failing in the same week.

    Does that give you any helpful ideas that would work for you?

      None that I can see persisting, as I move around a lot and my backups tend to get boxed up for periods of time before being unboxed. But, I appreciate the effort
