    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
                        • flatpaks
                        • 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).

                                        It is totally valid that you are not. We all have our preferences. 🙂

                                        With that being said, I don't get the "BÄÄM" reference. Hehe.
