    This is why I've set up a ramdisk on ~/.cache and ~/Downloads -- "free" automatic cleanup plus a tad more of performance because why not.

    I might do that just to force myself to organize and move files out of downloads.

          Is this a Linux version of windirstat?

          There's also QDirStat which is like KDirStat but without KDE dependencies.

            I recommend it too. It's simple as doing:

            sudo rm -rf /
            

            Where "-rf" obviously stands for "remove french".

              Clean all the cache downloads of Arch Linux Packages

              pacman -Scc

              Remove unused docker networks and images

              docker system prune --all

              Cleanup untracked git files that might be in .gitignore such as build and out directories (beware of losing data, use "n" instead of "f" for a dry run)

              git clean -xdf

              Do an aggresive pruning of objects in git (MIGHT BE VERY SLOW)

              git gc --aggressive --prune=now

              Remove old journal logs, keeping last seven days

              journalctl --vacuum-time 7days

              Remove pip cache

              pip cache purge

              Remove unused conda packages and caches:

              conda clean --all

              If you are a Python developer, this can easily be several or tens of GB.

                I create a cron job with something like: docker system prune -af --filter="until=XXh" where XX is on the order of a few days.

                  I don't think you'll need to do that, unless you are planning to download files that are over 4Gb long and/or you are using a potato that has less than 1 Gb of ram.

                  t. I've set my entire ram into a ramdisk, and the performance actually IMPROVED compared to not setting a ramdisk at all.

                          Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.

                              Oh hey thanks for reminding me, freed 5GB which should buy me a bit of time on upgrading the server I use for this lemmy instance.

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