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.

    Why would you want password less backups?

    I understand if the reason is ‘just because’, but seriously, why? I just write down the password in a text file for restic --password and I am done.

      write down the password where though, somewhere I can guarantee it will always be there 10 years from now? That’s a big ask of me
