    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.

                                      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.
