How to delete Docker images
Still plagued by my undersized root / partition, I’ve had to learn a thing or two about freeing up disk space. Recently, after a string of adventures with containers, I came to realize that Docker stores it’s images in the root partition, by default at least. To remove the images…

How to connect to Wi-Fi from the command-line on Debian
Recently I decided to try to eliminate some unnecessary wires from my home network. One of the offending items was our home server that was hard wired to one of our mesh network routers. The original thought was that by having the server wired, we’d have a more reliable connected…

Identifying large packages installed on Debian
Last week I talked about my quick fix to freeing up disk space on the root / partition of my Debian system. I also talked about potentially resizing my partitions at some point to help stave off the issue of root / filling up so quickly. Since the system is…

I went to run an apt upgrade today and came to realize that I had over 60 language packs for Firefox ESR installed.
