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

    Personally I'm loving diskonaut. "Graphical" representation but at, ahem, terminal velocity.

          The always huge and killing my system space:

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

          In case you don't already know about it, paccache (part of the pacman-contrib package) will let you easily remove old packages from the pacman cache

              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.

                      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

                      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.

                                Edit: no, that's dunst.

                                Btw, how do you do the background color thing?

                                  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 `
