Apps can leave lots of unused files behind, such as huge dump files, lots of log files. Let's clean them up and reclaim some disk space.

We can use a disk usage analyzer such as WizTree (which is very fast on NTFS disk since it reads from $MFT).

Desktop Central
- C:\Program Files (x86)\DesktopCentral_Agent\logs\
- C:\Program Files (x86)\DesktopCentral_Agent\logs\Dump\
- C:\Program Files (x86)\DesktopCentral_Agent\USB\Record\ (here's the home for thousands of extremely long file names)
Dell Command Update

Git has deep root in Linux scripting. Many git tools for Windows/Mac decided to include the git tools in their own package and thus became bloated.

SmartGit 20.2.4 (2021-03-08) is an extremely not-so-smart example:

In git/libexec/git-core and git/bin, it has 130 identical files.
Each file is 17MB (17929104). That's 2.17GB (2330783520) just for clones of the git binary.

UPDATE: It's not their fault for 2.17GB of duplicated files. It's my fault. I must have extracted the SmartGit package with some unpacker that does not understand hard links (or I might copied/extracted it from Windows to the WSL disk). The SmartGit package (smartgit-linux-20_2_6.tar.gz) used hard links for duplicated files and it should not take too much space as I incorrectly reported.

Compare that to the included JRE (in jre) which is only 54.5 MB. Compare that to the main code (in lib) which is also 54.4 MB (along with third party code, this includes smartgit.jar which is only 21.3MB).

Available Public Wildcard DNS Domains pointing to localhost (127.0.0.1)

It turns out that some kind hearted people already set up wildcard domains for you already. You can use any domain below and/or any subdomain of these and they currently resolve to 127.0.0.1 but could switch at any time to resolve somewhere else. Here's the list of ones I know about. Let me know if there are more!

localhost - It will always works. Do you know why? I hope so.
[*.]fuf.me - Managed by @fidian; it will always point to localhost for IPv4 and IPv6
[*.]fbi.com - 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
[*.]localtest.me
[*.]127-0-0-1.org.uk
[*.]vcap.me

Available Wildcarded DNS Domains

It turns out that some kind hearted people already set up wildcarded domains for you already. You can use any top level domain below and any subdomain of these and they will always resolve back to 127.0.0.1 (your local machine). Here's the list of ones I know about. Let me know if there are more!

127-0-0-1.org.uk
42foo.com
beweb.com
domaincontrol.com
feacebook.com
fuf.me - Managed by @fidian; it will always point to localhost for IPv4 and IPv6

If someone forks a gist and you'd like to merge their changes. Do this:

clone your repo, I use the name of the gist

 git clone git://gist.github.com/1163142.git gist-1163142

add a remote for the forked gist, I'm using the name of my fellow developer
```
 git remote add aaron git://gist.github.com/1164196.git
