Did you know `ncdu`? I’m using this for years to find out where all my precious disk space is lost. Unlike other solutions it works in a terminal and this way even on remote servers… or gorram mobile phones always short on anything.

@bekopharm ncdu ist klasse, der perfekte Festplattenaufräumer.
@bekopharm jeez that’s a lot of telegram memes
@mdiluz Indeed. “Linux & Gaming” is to blame. Mostly.
@bekopharm filelight works for this too? As does baobab..Hmm the latter not working for me now, to be honest, i feel the gnome stuff breaks things sometimes…
@bekopharm i love ncdu and im so glad i found it last year. but yeah everyone should use it
@jasper filelight and baobab are graphical disk usage tools that require other libs installed on the system that are usually not installed on a remote server. Both are _huge_ (in comparison) and not really suited for remote filesystems. Both work, of course, and are suited for daily localhost business where you’ve got a desktop running anyway. Use whatever works for you, oc 🙂
Disk full. Place 5 in $HOME after a lot of cleanup of this sort – bunch of old save files I will totally never ever have us of again in my life.> 69,7 GiB [# ] /Master of Orion Some games have really no shame. Compression – such an alien concept.
@bekopharmOn mobile phones? 👀
@AbbieNormal on mounted mobile phones (adb).
@beko Yeah, I love ncdu, and it’s one of my magic tools that I often use on servers and so on to keep them tidy 🙂
@beko one of my most favorite cli tools
i added it to my cloud init template so all vms i create have it out of the box 😀
@beko looks like an interactive version of
$ du -hxs | sort -h | tail -40
@beko wow! Looks very nice! I have to check this one out!
I was taught this one liner at work:
du -sk * | sort -n
Works on Linux and Solaris
