@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted @VonReposti Cheese? That's a James May job.

In Germany "du hs" is considered an insult and I think that's beautiful.

Yes, it is.

The always huge and killing my system space:

• pacman cache
• docker bullshit
• flatpaks
• journalctl files!

I don't think they meant forcing themselves because their RAM would fill up, but because their stuff would be gone after rebooting if they didn't move it.

My / is a tmpfs.

There is no state accumulating that I didn't explicitly specify, exactly because I don't want to deal with those kind of chores.

Lol, I love me some James May saying "cheese", but I was more referring to the old Futurama episode where Bender goes back to Mars University. One of his signature catchphrases in that episode is "Cheese it!"

This tool is amazing https://github.com/KSXGitHub/parallel-disk-usage

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Sorry I did not get this reference. I'm not a Futurama fan. I don't know why. ‍️

But I know BÄÄM cheese!

[chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de]

If you need a more interactive method, gdu is awesome. And if you're using btrfs, btdu gives preliminary results instantly (which get more precise over time).

[everymuffinisnowencrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

It is totally valid that you are not. We all have our preferences.

With that being said, I don't get the "BÄÄM" reference. Hehe.

[Guest]

I use gdu personally

[caseyweederman@lemmy.ca]

That's a weird way to spell Baobab

duf is pretty slick

Fclones is a great tool, but it's for finding duplicate files and replacing them with sym-/hard-/reflinks.

I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs extremely quick.

Do you delete all your files on a reinstall? Documents, photos, videos, games?
