## Resource Management
### Large file and folder monitor
Simple overview of the largest files and folders:
```bash
sudo pacman -S ncdu
ncdu /
```
### Find large files
Find files in current directory with a specified minimum size (in this example 100 MB):
```bash
find . -type f -size +100M
```
### Clean package manager caches
Call this to start interactive package manager cache clearing:
```bash
yay -Sc
```
### Rerate package mirros
```bash
sudo cachyos-rate-mirrors
```
### Autotrash
To automatically clear older files in the trash, run the following (example: files older than 40 days):
```bash
uv tool install autotrash
autotrash -d 40 --install
```
### journalctl
See space used by system logs:
```bash
journalctl --disk-usage
```
Set maximum log retention time in `/etc/systemd/journald.conf`:
```bash
MaxRetentionSec=1month
```
## Services
### SSH Session Keep-Alive
Edit `/etc/ssh/ssh_config` and append:
```bash
ServerAliveInterval 60
```
### Java
To install the correct version do the following and install the requested version:
```bash
sudo pacman -Ss java | grep jdk
```
To switch between installed java versions use:
```bash
archlinux-java
```
Set the `JAVA_HOME` env variable with the following config in `~/.env`:
```bash
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default
```
### GPG
List keys:
```bash
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long
```
Show public key for id:
```bash
gpg --armor --export
```
Edit key:
```bash
gpg --edit-key
```
Set correct `~/.gnupg/` permissions:
```bash
chown -R $(whoami) ~/.gnupg/
find ~/.gnupg -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
find ~/.gnupg -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;
```
## Applications
### AppImages
To use AppImage files, call the following:
```bash
sudo pacman -S fuse
```
### Cachy Browser
To apply preferences to Cachy Browser via the [browser/cachy.overrides.cfg](browser/cachy.overrides.cfg), store it at `~/.cachy/`.
Restart the browser and find applied policies at `about:policies`.
### OneDrive
Install [abraunegg/onedrive](https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive):
```bash
yay -S onedrive-abraunegg
```
- **d-compiler**: ldc
- **d-runtime**: liblphobos
To allow logging to `/var/log/onedrive`, do the following:
```bash
sudo mkdir /var/log/onedrive
sudo chown root:niko /var/log/onedrive
sudo chmod 0775 /var/log/onedrive
```
Initialize onedrive:
```bash
onedrive
```
After initializing onedrive and BEFORE running the first sync, copy [config](onedrive/config) and [sync_list](onedrive/sync_list) to `~/.config/onedrive/`. Check the config with `onedrive --display-config`.
First sync:
`onedrive --resync --sync`
### Jetbrains Toolbox
First allow AppImages (see [AppImages](#appimages)).
Then run [`jetbrains-toolbox.sh`](jetbrains-toolbox.sh).
### nvm
Install nvm like explained in their [README](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm?tab=readme-ov-file#install--update-script).
Then add the following to `config.fish`:
```fish
function nvm
bash -c "source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh; nvm $argv"
end
set -U fish_user_paths /home/niko/.nvm/versions/node/*/bin $fish_user_paths
```
### Steam
```bash
sudo pacman -S steam
```
- activate hardware acceleration in the Steam settings
- enable game emulation via Proton in the Steam settings
### yt-dlp
```shell
sudo curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
```
## TLS
### Import CA
1. Run `sudo trust anchor ca-file.pem`
2. Check import with `ls /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source`
3. (Test TLS connection with `openssl s_client -connect :443`)
