  • Go Find Duplicates: blazingly-fast simple-to-use tool to find duplicate files
    14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Aug 2021
    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.
