        I recommend it too. It's simple as doing:

        sudo rm -rf /
        

        Where "-rf" obviously stands for "remove french".

              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.

                            The always huge and killing my system space:

                            • pacman cache
                            • docker bullshit

                            • journalctl files!

                              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.

                              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.

                                    Lol, I love me some James May saying "cheese", but I was more referring to the old Futurama episode where Bender goes back to Mars University. One of his signature catchphrases in that episode is "Cheese it!"

                                          If you need a more interactive method, gdu is awesome. And if you're using btrfs, btdu gives preliminary results instantly (which get more precise over time).
