my ~/.sphinx/cache/sphinx_image_cache is way too large so i looked in the files and found out more than 99% of these bytes are in duplicates of other files in the same dir
all file sizes: wc -c *
, about 7.8 GB
file sizes of unique files (by sha256): wc -c $(sha256sum * | sort | uniq -w64 | sed -E 's/^.{66}//')
, about 55 MB
this is also true for other cache dirs, in my sphinx_video_cache i got about 50% duplicates
