Go: What We Got Right, What We Got Wrong
Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:
- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]
- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]
- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]
- gotop: a `top` clone [4]
- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]
Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

For anyone that likes ncdu I would highly recommend gdu. https://github.com/dundee/gdu

new and interesting file managers or text editors for the cli lately?
gdu is faster

Midnight Commander is MIA; any command line based twin pane file manager recommendations?
gdu - Just a very fast and cool disk usage explorer

RPCS3 compile to SD card?
The RPCS3 flatpak lives in /home/deck/.var/app/net.rpcs3.RPCS3. I'd advise you to install a tool like gdu or use something like du -h --max-depth=1 in the console in that directory, to find where the disk usage goes. There are also GUI tools, but I prefer these myself.

Ncdu ā NCurses Disk Usage
While ncdu does the job I've found gdu (similar tool written in Go) significantly faster for larger directories.

Why can i not resize my main partition? Iām running out of space and have no idea why
There's also gdu, which is much faster on SSDs.

Ncdu ā NCurses Disk Usage
Have been using ncdu for more than a decade, and recently started using diskonaut for similar purposes. Was looking for a terminal-based treemap visualization for analyzing disk usage and stumbled upon diskonaut, which is exactly that.

Best way to find directories that are filling up my partition?
My favorite tool for this is diskonaut -- it's quicker than repeatedly running du and pleasant to use.

Manage Disk Usage from the Terminal
For a visual person like me, diskonaut is especially useful. It draws the space in rectangles on the screen that you can navigate into. If you resize the terminal it redraws the boxes.

How to learn Rust by own tiny applications?
A lot of unix-y tools have been rewritten in rust, where the usefulness comes from it being faster or having more features. Examples: bat, cw, lsd, ripgrep, diskonaut, gping. Maybe you could find an interesting program to rewrite?

CLI replacement for Baobab (disk usage analyzer)?
While I usually use ncdu, diskonaut's output is closer to baobab. https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut
