The bananas part is that it dumps 500 MB of stuff on the remote side.

Yeah, I learned how it worked when I made the mistake of trying to use it to develop on a Raspberry Pi, where it filled the disk and crashed/hung the Pi by using all the RAM until it started using swap. Fell back to local with an sshfs mount instead.

I just removed 5.5Gb of stale ~/.vscode-server from a dev VM

  • Oh wow I just checked my servers and on one the folder is 3.2GB and another has 1.7GB. It kind of looks like it just keeps copies of every version its ever installed? Theres several copies of node and `node_modules` folders.

    I'm not super low on space but it also pretty clearly doesn't need to be that large, it looks like most of it is copies of itself.
