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

                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.

                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!"

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

                            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).

                              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.

                                  Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.

                                      I'm here to promote fclones. I've used it twice and recovered over a terabyte on my NAS the last time I used it. I'm not affiliated. Hyperspace for Mac is similar (but different) and I haven't used it, but it was developed by my favorite nerd podcast host. I'm planning to test it out eventually, but the latest fclones run was only about a month ago, so it doesn't make sense to try it yet.

                                      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?

                                          These tools are also useful for finding large files in your home directory. E.g. I've found a large amount of Linux ISOs I didn't need anymore.
