Great compliment to ncdu for a single-view disk report and blazing fast.

ncdu is one of the most useful CLI tool out there! Been using it for many years as well.
Another disk scanner worth plugging that I came across for some use cases where I needed to generate single-view reports is pdu - it has the same concurrency implementation that other ncdu alternatives use so the performance is much better too.
