6 AWESOME CLI Tools for Mac & Linux Performance Testing (2022)

In today's video I demonstrate six command line tools that I use for performance and stress testing my Mac and Linux machines.

All tools are available for free. In Mac you can install them from Homebrew and on Linux you'll find them in the package manager for your platform.

What are your favourite command line tools?

[MattManuel]

This was another great video. Thanks. I hadn't heard of some of these utilities before.

Your software recommendations are always top notch. When you recommended ncdu I installed it just for fun and it really changed the way I deal with storage. ncdu is FAST, and it is so helpful that I had to install it on all my machines.

[dmitrykhangulyan]

thanks, I suppose a good selection of tools. Actually I never used any of these. Quite an unusual case as the author often talks about MY favorite software 😀. That's why I think that's a great channel.

I use networkQuality -v to test my connection test on Mac. I believe this is a built in command.

Phoronix test suite. However it has some flaws. For example linux kernel build benchmark runs faster on stable/outdated distros with GCC7 than on new distros with GCC13 and it's not always how many factors do affect the results.

nice tools. Can iozone also be used to test network storage nfs/smb performace?

0:27 to 0:40 I noticed the speed readings I get with speedtest-cli are vastly different than ookla on their site

1Gbls connection here... speedtest-cli claimed around 300 ish Mbps while ookla was in the mid 900 ish Mbps range for download...uploads were precisely the same.om speedtest-cli and ookla.. and yes..I made sure no webpages nor downloads were going on other than the obvious.

also cat 6 ethernet cable straight to a damn Arris s33 modem ( supports up to 2.5Gbps by the way)...on a PC with a solid Intel 1Gbps Ethernet jack)

I did an rmlint on my laptop. In total 15085 files (tock over 5 hours)whereof 9221 are duplicates in 1627 groups. This equals 353.72 GB of duplicates which could be removed. 2828 other suspicious item(s) found, which may vary in size. Scanning tock in total 4h 32m 33.995s
Can you help

[ktrashlyf]

think you could make a video covering your emacs setup?

[kaptenkrok]

Im curious why you would us a proprietary file format for the spreadsheet. Is there a special reason or just a habit?

[mikejennings]

Do you think running these tools from windows 11 virtualized Linux would provide good results?

[jlwwbke]

what is the app name that in start showing cpu memory so on info

[fraenkiboii]

Which monospace font are you using in the terminal?

[codemoor]

Can you tell us what font u use in cli ??

[leandroalbero]

Is it fair to compare MIPS on two different architectures?

[austinfu]

somehow I got a 403 running speedtest-cli on my Mac…
which is really weird 😂

[camiloandrescolpabolano]

dude just look it up, there are free providers out there, it s goddaym expensive to buy, especially when you re a pro soft maker.

[YoMateo.]

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

[feliperebolledo]

I love pirating your software nom onom onomnom
