For no other reason than learning to code and toying around I wrote a script that reads the disk usage per home directory here on the server and prints it out in a sort of graphical way in HTML and CSS.
Each [K,M,G]B is displayed as one square of 10x10 pixels. The script knows three different cases:
As you can see, most users stayed within the kilobyte range, a few have several megabytes worth of data stored on the server. Two guys even have more than one gigabyte up here. Whew.
For reasons of privacy I had the script shuffle the lines before creating the html file, so it won't tell who is using which amount of data. (Which, however, members can easily find out themselves.)
I intended to have this outcome generated once a week, but it took the server a few seconds to calculate all this, so I'm afraid it would cause too much load. Plus, at almost 500KB the file is not exactly lightweight.
Find the script there.
~calamitous called this "awesome" on the index page; ~pgadey called it "amazing". Thanks, both of you!
