 Ihar Hrachyshka | maybe we generate too many binaries (I wonder why!) and it records every symbolication per binary uuid and doesn't keep up with expunging | 22:45:07 |
 hexa | maybe from crashes? | 22:45:08 |
 emily | can you remote desktop in and fire up DaisyDisk? :P | 22:45:09 |
| hexa | on the m1s after ordering a remote console | 22:45:34 |
| hexa | on the m2s easily | 22:45:37 |
| emily | (ncdu or equivalent should work at a pinch given Full Disk Access but I think might fail to find some Weird Apple Stuff) | 22:45:40 |
| hexa | I did use ncdu fwiw | 22:45:48 |
| emily | https://daisydiskapp.com/download/DaisyDisk.zip + full disk access + scan as administrator will probably help. weird things can include stuff like Time Machine snapshots | 22:47:05 |
| emily | that said, if you were saying they previously were at ~100 GB minimum and you saved ~65 GB | 22:47:41 |
| emily | then that leaves … basically the size of the OS | 22:47:57 |
| emily | so there's probably nothing more to find | 22:48:07 |
| hexa | nah, they previously had like 60GB headroom max | 22:48:08 |
| hexa | if I gced everything | 22:48:18 |
| emily | I see, so still some ~85 GB unaccounted for? | 22:48:55 |
| hexa | https://grafana.nixos.org/d/he6lz9g/macos3a-disk-space?orgId=1&from=now-6h&to=now&timezone=utc | 22:49:09 |
| hexa | possibly | 22:49:21 |
| hexa | that looks much more healthy already | 22:49:43 |
| emily | that does seem a bit higher disk usage than expected post-GC for machines where there's presumably nothing in home directories etc. | 22:49:59 |

| 22:51:15 |
| hexa | that's intense-heron | 22:51:17 |
| hexa | in grafana free space sits at 96.6G | 22:51:35 |
| hexa | that matches with Avail on /nix and /System/Volumes/Data | 22:52:00 |
| hexa | so with 67G in he nix store we could probably free up to 150G now | 22:52:19 |
| hexa | which leaves ~75G for the system/junk | 22:52:37 |
| emily | so ~45 system + ~67 store = 112 and then there's 47 of ~something~? | 22:52:54 |
| emily | still seems like a surprising amount of junk | 22:53:11 |
| hexa | yeah | 22:53:24 |
| hexa | but that makes it more plausible to pick the 512GB disks and go for 6 new mac minis | 22:53:57 |
| emily | yeah, given that it only presumably needs to hold the system and the working set / build dirs for whatever builds it's running, I assume it should be | 22:54:30 |
| emily | * yeah, given that it only presumably needs to hold the system and the working set / build dirs for whatever builds it's running, I assume it should be fine | 22:54:32 |
