"Today, let us talk about a simple, yet another must-have utility in your arsenal. Meet agedu, a small utility that tracks down the wasted disk space in your Linux system. Running out of disk space? No worries! Install agedu and find out which directories or files are consuming more space. Just delete them if they are no longer needed or move them safely to an archive medium to free up some space. It works on Windows and Unix-like operating systems. It is available under MIT license. That means you can use it for free, copy, distribute, and reuse."

"We might not have the money we want but we do have some control over our happiness levels. Dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins are the brain chemicals responsible for our happiness. These chemicals are can be triggered all the time, even by mundane events. But rather than thinking we have no control over them, science has proven that we can intentionally boost them.
