For a CLI alternative to manually running `du -sh *` recursively to try and find which directory is taking up your space I recommend `ncdu`. I'm pretty sure there was a similar CLI app better than `ncdu` but I don't recall it right now.

I like it! Might have a go at rewriting something like this in Rust as an exercise.

Already done, (un)fortunately: https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is there anything similar to glances that's native, super light. Don't have python in all production server and I wonder how weighty it would be when things are getting haywire .. or am I wrong and glances is lightweight enough?

Try bashtop I dont prefer glances because of its dependencies of python and i really avoid installing big dependencies unless I feel its required for most of the other packages/use cases.

There is also Duc: https://duc.zevv.nl/ . It has a both a Tui and a Gui, but can also do nifty CGI things (shameless plug)
