Looking for a tool to visualize folders based on number of files. in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Thanks for your input! To me it seems like Nemo only counts the direct descendants and doesn't recurse, which makes it less useful for this purpose, but still nice to know!

Thank you for the idea! I didn't know about the --inodes flag before, this seems like a viable solution for systems where I can't / don't want to install additional software!

Oh, wow, thank you! I had ncdu installed, but it was an older version, which didn't yet have this feature. Now that I updated to the newest (Zig based 🎉) release this looks perfect for my needs!

There are plenty of utilities (GUI, such as filelight and TUI, such as dua as well) for analyzing disk usage by space, but I would like to view my folders based on the count of files, as I'm making backups, and folders with lots of small files (e.g. node_modules) take very long to move around, so I guess that I'd be better of compressing those into a single file before archiving, as it's already highly unlikely that I'll need to access them anyway. Thanks for any pointers in advance!

Thanks! 😀 I've been meaning to post about that as well in order to keep feeding Lemmy with content, but couldn't find either an active alternative to ErgoMechKeyboards or Battlestations. 🤔

Well, I'd suggest asking around your nearest toddler, that's how I managed to borrow this one. 😀 Probably it has been inherited through several generations, that might explain it's wisdom!

Thanks for the advice, but lo and behold, the issue was actually caused by a newly introduced generic parameter not being defined after a dependency update. 🙃 Oh, the wonders of the JS/TS ecosystem...

Whoa, I just checked out some images, that one is on another level as well for sure. 😀 If he's as good at fighting bugs as criminals, you're in good ~~hands~~ wings!

If the rolling wooden variant still turns out not to be enough, I might need to source a real live duck. 🦆 Not sure how patient that would be at listening to me explaining code though. 🤔

Let me preface this by clarifying that I don't claim to have the one and only right explanation that everyone should accept, I'd just like to point out that this theory also exists: https://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/a/43799

After getting a comment from the creator of kanata (an awesome piece of software by the way) that he found my story amusing, I figured that I'd also post it here, partly as fun, partly as a cautionary tale. Also, I'd appreciate any tips as to what to check for in my system, it's a weird feeling to know that some stuff might have been messed up under the hood.
