    And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.

      My little widget to get the weather, Blazing Fast Uber Duper made in Rust, has like 85 total dependencies from like 3 crates that I need...

      My own software is a hard pass for myself...

      That's great!

      Another thing that is great, since we are talking about disk space: people, check your Rust repositiry, it might be huge.

      I deleted that folder and, in my case, freed 12gb. Not too shabby.

        Ncdu is my go-to tool. Can't live without it on the servers I administer. However from this thread I've also learned about gdu and diskonaut, that I need to check out.

          I believe FileLight (in OP above) is a fork of or built on top of QDirstat.

              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)

              I can see you're not using Flatpak, the destroyer of disk space. Nice list though!

                    My dad's Linux setup couldn't log in. After a bit of investigation, starting the session manually and so on, i got a hunch and indeed; i saw in Baobab that the backup script took the wrong disk, filled up the one with home, making it slow, so the log-in thingie timed out, failing the session.

                      On gtk desktops it's something like Baobab. Too sad that the big guys can't make lightweight and standalone software.

                          I was confused what you meant by background colour thing so I went to dust docs haha.

                          Now I got you. It's a codeblock so it shows in monospace font. Look up .md formatting for tips.

                          In this case its a word between backticks `

                                      I'm new to docker and all of my shit stopped working recently. Just wouldn't load. Took about a half hour to find out that old images were taking up about 63GB on my 100GB boot partition, resulting in it being completely full.

                                      I added the command to prune 3 month old images to my update scripts.

                                        KDE packages have many dependencies, which cause the packages themselves to be extremely tiny. By sharing a ton of code via libraries, they save a lot of space.

                                          I normally use rm for that. Or wipefs if I'm feeling particularly spicy.
