I freed 30GB using Filelight

[flubba86@lemmy.world]

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

I like Bleachbit but I'll check this out

[idefix@sh.itjust.works]

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

[hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I use dua, but this looks neat too.

[terraroot@sh.itjust.works]

du -sxk | sort -n gotta find those hidden files too!

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.

[monkdervierte@lemmy.ml]

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

[monkdervierte@lemmy.ml]

Isn't that a wayland notification daemon already?

Edit: no, that's dunst.

Btw, how do you do the background color thing?

[beeng@discuss.tchncs.de]

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 `

[monkdervierte@lemmy.ml]

Ah, right, it's the inline code. Mindslip. Thanks!

No package for my distro, I "installed" an AppImage with AM (which is also how I discovered it)

[joelk111@lemmy.world]

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.

[moonpiedumplings@programming.dev]

[moonpie@osiris ~]$ du -h $(which filelight)
316K    /usr/bin/filelight

K = kilobytes.

[moonpie@osiris ~]$ pacman -Ql filelight | awk '{print $2}' | xargs du | awk '{print $1}' | paste -sd+ | bc
45347740

(45347740 bytes is 43.247 megabytes).

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.

[bhamlin@lemmy.world]

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

[allero@lemmy.today]

Filelight is about finding the folders you don't use that take a lot of space. Basically an easier way to look into which folder takes up what.

[Guest]

Basically all KDE apps have the same dependency set. So install one and the next ones will only install the app most likely. On KDE itself you'd already have these.
