gollark: I have a lot of big `node_modules` folders, 52GB of random media (TV shows, some youtubers' videos, sort of thing), random assorted archiving, a gigabyte or so in ebooks, 600MB of storage used on my personal notes wiki (which contains images and occasional videos and whatnot), 2GB of music, and 1GB of memes.
