Various misc tools
What good tools are you using in every day life? For example, when I need to look for DNS records I use http://leafdns.com , it is ancient, but works very well and allows to control results (cached/non-cached) and I have some fetish towards .cgi scripts.

I recently discovered fclones which is amazing for file deduplication. I really like it.

Are you specifically asking about web tools? If so, here are some that I often use:

These are just some of the hosted tools I find useful. I also work with a bunch of tools that I host myself, like Interactsh, Lorito, ezXSS, and more.

I believe the name for this is 'masochism'
uhm ffmpeg and screengrabber?

IT Tools is really useful: https://it-tools.tech/
Need a short domain to remember.
Nope. I know, many think that and CGI has got kind of a bad reputation, but:
Just one, although granted, somewhat heavy-weight example: LET/LEB runs on 32 vCores + a shit ton of memory AFAIK. And it's not even a brutally bloated website.
@Levi is not a masochist (well at least not re. his liking of CGI) but seems to have understood a few things well ...

Very nice tool!
My favorite is https://dnschecker.org/
@jsg Fairly argued!
That said, there are two costs that must be considered: yes, the server costs, but also the engineering time cost.
You will almost always pay more in man hours to implement, manage, and debug something in compiled low level (C, ASM, etc) versus a higher-level programming language (php, C#, etc). Higher level just has more out of box integrations, libraries, debugging capability, instrumentation, alerting, etc. Not to mention ongoing readability & maintainability concerns that come with low level options. Plus it's just more expensive to hire a C engineer than a PHP code monkey.
But you are right, compiled will definitely execute way more efficiently. For a busy enough endpoint that has to be scaled to massive loads across hundreds/thousands of servers, it can pay for itself. Not really something worth it for most peoples low-end projects though
@WyvernCo
There are some arguments coming up in my head right away but I don't want to derail the thread. All I wanted was to put CGI into a reasonable frame.
So, please, go on everybody with good tools ...
We literally use the same things, almost...
FlagFox for Firefox, and life's good.
