Go Find Duplicates: blazingly-fast simple-to-use tool to find duplicate files
For example I maintain a tar file and a docker image with Kafka connectors which share many jar files. Using duphard I can save hundreds of megabytes, or even more than a gigabyte! For a documentation website with many copies of the same image (let's just say some static generators favor this practice for maintaining multiple versions), I can reduce the website size by 60%+, which then makes ssh copies, docker pulls, etc way faster speeding up deployment times.

Pip and cargo are not the same
Yes, that would be safer when available (although generally files within library dependencies are not modified I think?). It looks like fclones implements this, is faster and is written in Rust https://github.com/pkolaczk/fclones (the last is the most important point of course /s).
