Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Cleanup

    Check current disk usage:

    sudo journalctl --disk-usage

    Use rotate function:

    sudo journalctl --rotate

    Or

    Remove all logs and keep the last 2 days:

    sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=2days

    Or

    Remove all logs and only keep the last 100MB:

    sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=100M

    How to read logs:

    Follow specific log for a service:

    sudo journalctl -fu SERVICE

    Show extended log info and print the last lines of a service:

    sudo journalctl -xeu SERVICE

    Why isn't it configured like that by default?

    [–] faerbit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

    It is. The defaults are a little bit more lenient, but it shouldn't gobble up 80 GB of storage.
