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

            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.

                        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.

                                        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.
