If you're looking for a more modern alternative to the `du` command that shows you what's taking up your disk space, try `dust`. It returns a graphical overview with percentages, and uses colours to highlight the largest subdirectories. https://github.com/bootandy/dust

    @monospace@floss.social my first reaction is that a program that took the output of du and drew it nicely would be more useful, in that i could do e.g. `du -k | sort -nr | head -50 | prettify` The smarts around large files might justify it, though.
