I deleted a bunch of services I’m not actually using on my home server. Nothing used php, but it was good to do some house cleaning.
I also started a blog (Hugo is much nicer than I thought). The procrastination has helped me get a lot of other things done.
Is there an easy way to do that ? I often think about all the random libraries and crap I've downloaded over time.. auto remove doesn't really clean anything up but if I look through the apt list I've got no idea what's a dependency of what.
With nix it was just deleting their config lines, firewall rules and then rming the data folders.
