  1. Ah, the classic "I forgot disk space is finite" production saga, now with extra #Haskell and #Nginx for maximum complexity! 😅 Because #servers on a #budget and oversized files are truly the heroes we deserve. 🙄🔧

    ⚠️ Si uses VS Code via Snap a Linux, vigila el teu disc! 🖥️💾

    S'ha detectat un error on els fitxers eliminats no van a la paperera del sistema, sinó a una de tancada dins del Snap que no es buida mai. S'han vist casos de fins a 200 GB de brossa acumulada! 😱

    📂 La trobaràs a: ~/snap/code/current/.local/share/Trash

    Es recomana passar a la versió .deb o Flatpak per evitar-ho. 🛠️

  5. If you're running out of disk space or just like to keep your drive lean and mean, consider running multiple disk-sweeping apps instead of just one. I'll show you how running Disk Graph, Space Lens, GrandPerspective, and OmniDiskSweeper saved 110GB on my laptop.

  6. 🧐🤔 Oh dear, someone forgot their crystal ball and now their *foreseeable future* is shorter than their boot partition! Who knew allocating storage would be as tricky as predicting the weather? 🌦️💾 Maybe next time, consult a psychic before declaring victory over disk space! 🪄🔮

  7. Krótki, ale wartościowy tekst nie tylko o tym, jak zmniejszyć rozmiar bazy danych PostgreSQL, ale też o tym, jak to prawidłowo zdiagnozować i jako może pomóc w tym model językowy. Ciekawa lektura.

  8. I think the last WinDirStat v1 release was around 2005-7? It remained my tool of choice for showing disk usage.
    So what a pleasant surprise to see that it has been revived, and v2 releases are now happening!

  13. Low disk space on /var ... wtf?
    Oh, accumulated /var/lib/flatpak/repo/tmp/flatpak-cache-* directories..

    Fwiw, that's github.com/flatpak/flatpak/iss and finally a fix committed on Nov 14, 2023 github.com/smcv/flatpak/commit

  14. If you want to clean up your Mac hard disk and don’t know where to start, GrandPerspective is a great starting point. It visualizes the content of your harddisk. With this its really easy to identify which app causes the loss of disk space.

  15. Hmm. Ich sollte auch mal den #Diskspace-Bedarf von meinem #Matrix-#Server etwas in die Schranken weisen... wo geht der ganze Speicher hin?

  16. After hours spent deleting a few 100 MB here and there of actually useful stuff, I finally realized why my Win10 partition #diskspace was filling up. Yeeted 8.2 GB of Adobe Reader and Dropbox updates, and that's just the bits I felt confident about. #DoesItSparkJoy

  17. The root file system on one of my servers filled up… guess I’ll have to fix that!

  18. I just set a temporary experiment to see how deletion of content from other servers is handled. We need mechanisms in place to control how full the hard drive of this server gets. So I have TEMPORARILY set content from other servers to be deleted after only one day. This is too short to leave in place. I am experimenting to see: a) If answers to local posts from other servers get deleted, b) If I bookmark an answer to a local post, does it get deleted, and c) If I bookmark federated content from another instance, does it get deleted?

    Need to get the answers to these questions before this server is too busy so we can better know how to set the deletion settings for saving hard drive space.

  19. Clean up some space on your mastodon instance:
    - tootctl media remove --days 1
    - tootctl preview_cards remove --days 1
    - tootctl statuses remove --days 1
    - tootctl accounts cull

    Anyone has an idea for a save cleanup of /public/system/cache/accounts/headers?

  24. For #disk #usage information, I use #Unix #programs #du and #df but there’s always something which may be a bit niftier and I’ve just found #baobab, which is a #gnome graphical #DiskUsageAnalyser, particularly to see which #files or #directories are gobbling up your #diskspace.
