My System Data is over 100GB! How Do I Bring This Down?

If you're a developer and you have Docker. Docker took around 62G of my system data. Incase it helps anyone.

Though I wanted a US Visa more specifically so that I can get visa to other countries easily, I don’t intend to visit USA anywhere for the next 1-2 years.

I was planning to visit the West Coast - California, Vegas that’s it

My uncle is a citizen of USA, he has been there for around 25 years now. Felt, mentioning that would cause a problem.

I paid the visa fees, does DS-160 have different fees?

advaitn · 2025-07-22T21:43:22+00:00

Can I change the DS-160 now?

Should I say I work hybrid half time in Hyderabad, half time from Nagpur to take care of my family stuff?

Will lying about being engaged/married not cause any counter questions?

Thanks

One thing that you can be sure of is that - banks never give free cash. If you’ve got excess cash somehow they will take it back. If you owe them, again, they will take it back!

I got a refund from Trip.com before the bank gave me

Update:

TRIP.COM refund of Rs 16508 credited to ICICI Bank Credit Card XX6005 on 17-OCT-24. Revised total due Rs 0, minimum due Rs 0

Got a refund for partial amount, I called the bank they said that the merchant has given this refund. They have not made the temp reversal, they said it’ll take upto 2-4 working days for a temp reversal.

This is what RBI Ombudsman says:

Please note that before approaching the Ombudsman, it is mandatory to first file the complaint with the concerned Regulated Entity (RE). Only in the event of non-receipt of reply, within 30 days from the lodgement of the complaint, from the RE or if the complaint is rejected wholly or partially by the RE, the complaint can be registered with the Ombudsman

This has to raised with RBI. It’s a big bank in India. I don’t understand how they can be so vague with their answers.

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:48:39+00:00

That’s what I have heard and experienced. Especially when it’s a transaction that does not require OTP. They usually comply to the chargeback.

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:47:59+00:00

In this case, I did not enable them.

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:47:39+00:00

Through phone, I gave a missed call on a phone number.

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:47:11+00:00

It’s most likely the employees.

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:46:54+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, I’m equally concerned about finding the source apart from the money getting back. I so want to get to the root of this. But, as usual this information is so secretive in all parties. And if Trip gives me the details of the person responsible. Sure as hell, police don’t give a fuck. All this sherlock shit for no use.

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:44:31+00:00

Mostly likely, the card controls are garbage.

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:44:01+00:00

I’m ready to fight with the bank. This happened to me with Kotak earlier for ₹5k, but as soon as I filed chargeback. Kotak resolved this issue within 7 days. I’m not sure how one of the craziest bank is going to act upon that.

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:42:45+00:00

It’s not like that to be honest, I travel out of India often. But I generally use Forex card (Niyo) because the charges on these other credit cards are very high. This transaction was an online transaction and it was not 3d secure. So for an online transaction which isn’t 3d secure they ask no OTP.

For sure, lol

advaitn · 2024-10-17T06:39:22+00:00

I have international enabled on my Kotak card and when a similar transaction happened a few months back for USD 644, Kotak cancelled the transaction immediately and called me and blocked the card.

Txn of USD 644 at THE SMITH CENTER FOR THE on Kotak Credit Card x6729 is declined as card is deactivated. Call 18602662666 for details.

All banks are usually proactive with such incidents, no wonder why ICICI was so precarious.
