hmm, interesting. I've been using a du command to calculate the space usage (without knowing anything beyond that). Is this not the same tool?
du -s directory_name gives you the size of the directory.
du -sh directory_name would give it in human-readable units.

Yeah it is
I don't really know much about it, but this command lets me calculate space of all .mp3 files stored on my SDD

<nsprra> < chatter> fun story, I know a Ukrainian who fled when the war started because they're right by the warzone ❚ they went to france
<nsprra> < chatter> almost immediately moved back to Ukraine, right back to the warzone ❚ apparently France was too black for them
