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

Looks like a worse looking baobab clone

Excellent! I missed DaisyDisk. It looks great!

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I normally use rm for that. Or wipefs if I'm feeling particularly spicy.

Filelight is about finding the folders you don't use that take a lot of space. Basically an easier way to look into which folder takes up what.

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.

Those are rookie numbers.

Does Linux have spacesniffer?

[-] vort3@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.

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.

[-] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
