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

    I’m here to promote fclones. I’ve used it twice and recovered over a terabyte on my NAS the last time I used it. I’m not affiliated. Hyperspace for Mac is similar (but different) and I haven’t used it, but it was developed by my favorite nerd podcast host. I’m planning to test it out eventually, but the latest fclones run was only about a month ago, so it doesn’t make sense to try it yet.

      Fclones is a great tool, but it’s for finding duplicate files and replacing them with sym-/hard-/reflinks.

      I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs extremely quick.

    A bit too much to just install one soft. Hard pass.

      [moonpie@osiris ~]$ du -h $(which filelight)
316K    /usr/bin/filelight

      K = kilobytes.

      [moonpie@osiris ~]$ pacman -Ql filelight | awk '{print $2}' | xargs du | awk '{print $1}' | paste -sd+ | bc
45347740

      45347740 bytes is 43.247 megabytes. That is to say, the entire install of filelight is only 43 megabytes.

      KDE packages have many dependencies, which cause the packages themselves to be extremely tiny. By sharing a ton of code via libraries, they save a lot of space.

            You do realise that you’re a waste of life and nobody will remember you when you die?

            Why get this hostile over a random software? I hate their shit because it’s absurdly bloated and a pain to remove.

            You’re a worthless loser and you know it as well as we do.

      That’s very normal if you don’t have any KDE apps. If you were using KDE and installed a GNOME app it’d be similar.

      On gtk desktops it’s something like Baobab. Too sad that the big guys can’t make lightweight and standalone software.

        Basically all KDE apps have the same dependency set. So install one and the next ones will only install the app most likely. On KDE itself you’d already have these.

      My little widget to get the weather, Blazing Fast Uber Duper made in Rust, has like 85 total dependencies from like 3 crates that I need…

      My own software is a hard pass for myself…

      That’s great!

      Another thing that is great, since we are talking about disk space: people, check your Rust repositiry, it might be huge.

      I deleted that folder and, in my case, freed 12gb. Not too shabby.

    The always huge and killing my system space:

    • pacman cache
    • docker bullshit
    • flatpaks
    • journalctl files!

      In case you don’t already know about it, paccache (part of the pacman-contrib package) will let you easily remove old packages from the pacman cache

      Isn’t that a wayland notification daemon already?

      Edit: no, that’s dunst.

      Btw, how do you do the background color thing?

        I was confused what you meant by background colour thing so I went to dust docs haha.

        Now I got you. It’s a codeblock so it shows in monospace font. Look up .md formatting for tips.

        In this case its a word between backticks `

        Now someone needs to do a rewrite of dunst in rust called runst to make the confusion complete.

    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.

      These tools are also useful for finding large files in your home directory. E.g. I’ve found a large amount of Linux ISOs I didn’t need anymore.

        My users home directory is ephemeral as well, so this wouldn’t happen. Everything I didn’t declare to persist is deleted on reboot.

        What I do use tools like these for is verifying that my persistent storage paths are properly bind mounted and files end up in the correct filesystem.

        I use dust for this, specifically with the -x flag to not traverse multiple filesystems.

    My dad’s Linux setup couldn’t log in. After a bit of investigation, starting the session manually and so on, i got a hunch and indeed; i saw in Baobab that the backup script took the wrong disk, filled up the one with home, making it slow, so the log-in thingie timed out, failing the session.
