      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".

                  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 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.
