Running out of disk space on your Linux, macOS, BSD, or Unix-like OS? Or perhaps you're hitting the classic disk quota limits set by your sysadmin? Fear not. Run `du -sh * | sort -h` command to get a sorted list of your directory sizes so you can remove or compress unwanted files. Here is another useful shell alias:
```
alias ducks='du -cks -- * | sort -rn | head'
ducks
```
