    gollark: I was foolish and only bought a 120GB disk for my laptop, so most of my stuff can only fit on my server(s).
    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.
    gollark: I'm limited in storage capacity, but I do use quite a lot, and not only on games.
