I have an old computer, that i'm fond of. Mostly cause it's configured with git, wp-env, docker, a microsd card etc... and i don't want to go through the hassle of setting that all up again on a new system
this particular computer only has 30GB hd.
Code:
dara@dara-HP-Stream-Laptop-11-y0XX:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 928M 0 928M 0% /dev
tmpfs 190M 1.4M 189M 1% /run

tmpfs 950M 122M 828M 13% /dev/shm

tmpfs 190M 28K 190M 1% /run/user/1000
/dev/mmcblk1 115G 61M 109G 1% /media/dara/microsd
I have only 1.5GB left on the system. I'm already pruning docker on boot.
Code:
$ crontab -l
@reboot rm -rf /home/dara/wp-env/*
@reboot docker system prune -a
I'm on bionic xubuntu...
Code:
dara@dara-HP-Stream-Laptop-11-y0XX:~$ lsb_release -a

I've installed my last update. The latest one was 130MB. I'm assuming that's the compressed size. I'll probably be foregoing updates for the considerable future. At least until i can get my external hd working with the system...

I don't suppose you can install updates/upgrades on external hds by any chance?
Anyway, my question is this. I have a large journaled '/var/log' file that I'm not using. How can i remove it and cut back on the logging feature?
Code:
dara@dara-HP-Stream-Laptop-11-y0XX:/mnt/microsd$ sudo du -a /var | sort -n -r | head -n 20
