      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 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.

                                In Germany "du hs" is considered an insult and I think that's beautiful.

                                          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.
