mu VS dust

I like mu4e (https://github.com/djcb/mu) for reading emails. You'll need to run mu init [email protected] (append as many --my-address entries as email addresses you receive mail at) in your Maildir and mu4e should start reading it.

For all details, see https://github.com/djcb/mu/blob/release/1.10/NEWS.org (and I'd recommend

And djcb already fixed it: https://github.com/djcb/mu/issues/2420 !

I've tried to follow the release notes here, but find it hard to follow... for instance, the releases jump from 1.4.15 to 1.6.0? (So where is 1.5.5?) Is there a compilation of all these changes from e.g. ~ to -- and other general refactoring?

> Surely there is a space for minimalist office suites and email clients,

FWIW, my email life improved massively when I left the likes of Thunderbird and KMail behind for the simplicity of mu/mu4e [1]. I hear similarly stellar things about Notmuch [2]. I'm never going back to an email client that even thinks about itself in relation to "office suites".

Try using dust https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Folks open to using gdu might like to try dust (6k stars), or even erdtree (1.4k stars) which is too recent to show up on lists like this and still a bit behind on stars. A lot of people seem to use starship (33k stars) though I'm personally oldschool on prompts. There are many other items on that list I'm not motivated to check.

The first thought I had was to use rayon for this. And looking at some prior art that does pretty much the exact same thing, it does indeed use rayon.

The dust CLI command (made with Rust) can do this too.

How does this compare to dust?

Happened to me this morning, something filled up my drive in minutes. I used dust[1] to look for large files while it was happening but knowing what was doing it would've been a big help.

dust is also really nice.
