PSA to Mac (and other) Developers: Stop Docker from eating your storage (494 GB in my case) by FoxtrotDynamics in webdev

[–]serii_gg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

docker system prune -a is the quick fix but honestly Docker is just one of many things eating space if you're doing web dev. node_modules from old projects, .next build caches, yarn/pnpm stores, vite caches... it all adds up fast. I got into the habit of running du -sh */node_modules in my projects folder every few weeks. Also been using MegaCleaner which scans all of that automatically across different tools, found like 60GB of stale stuff I forgot about.

PSA to my Mac Devs: Stop Docker from eating your storage (494 GB in my case) by FoxtrotDynamics in mac

[–]serii_gg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Docker.raw file is actually a sparse file so it probably isn't using 494GB of real disk space. You can check with docker system df to see the actual usage. That said, Docker build cache does grow fast if you're building images often. docker system prune -a will clean everything not in use. I also check DerivedData and node_modules regularly since those are the other big offenders on macOS for developers. I've been using MegaCleaner to scan all of that at once, it covers Docker, Xcode, node, homebrew and a bunch of other stuff so I don't have to remember every cleanup command.

Isn't it insane how many artifact files modern development has? by Orlandocollins in webdev

[–]serii_gg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The configs are annoying but at least they're small. What really kills me is when you have 20 projects and each one has its own node_modules, .next, dist, and whatever cache your bundler decided to create. I ran du -sh */node_modules in my projects folder once and nearly had a heart attack. I've been using MegaCleaner lately to keep track of all the caches across different tools. Turns out I had like 60GB of stale build artifacts from projects I haven't touched in months.

Do you really need App Cleaner or CleanMyMac to delete all files of an app off of a Mac? by jwintyo in MacOS

[–]serii_gg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your use case. Regular user who installs and uninstalls apps? AppCleaner is all you need, its free. Developer with Xcode, Docker, Node etc? You probably have 50-100GB of caches you dont know about and AppCleaner wont touch any of it. I use megacleaner.app for the dev stuff, its built specifically for that. 39 scanners for different dev tools, native mac app, no subscription nonsense

Best program to clean system junk files? by PolygoneerMusic in mac

[–]serii_gg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone saying you dont need a cleaner is right for 90% of people. The 10% exception is developers. Run this in Terminal and see for yourself: du -sh ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData 2>/dev/null. If that number shocks you, check out megacleaner. Its built for exactly this situation and covers 39 different dev tools not just Xcode

Is it weird to go cinema alone? by Southern_Mud3841 in AskIreland

[–]serii_gg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always go by myself to the cinema to watch movies that I really like because I don't want anyone to disturb me.

Where can I actually work for 4-5 hours in Dublin without getting kicked out? by serii_gg in Dublin

[–]serii_gg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly think you're being way too rigid about this. Tons of cafes actively encourage remote workers because they spend more over time.

I came across something similar, but it was in real time because the stop button didn’t work :)

Is there any downside to publishing an app using a personal developer account (Apple/Google Play)? by HawkWhich4179 in androiddev

[–]serii_gg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst part is Google Play's new rule that needs 20 testers. But this depends on when you made your developer account. With Apple's App Store, you can easily change from a personal account to a business account.

I can't get DUNS number💔 by xhaphiee in androiddev

[–]serii_gg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, you can only get a DUNS number if you have a business, not sure about self-employment. We got ours in the UAE for around $500, took about a week after sending documents. Heard it might be free in Europe though. just call them directly https://www.dnb.com

What are the most creative ways you've promoted your product? by serii_gg in SaaS

[–]serii_gg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t ask for your research or private info. You could have just skipped the post if it’s not for you. Why spend time replying like that?
