i switched from dropbox to mega and sync.com years ago, not really happy with the performance of either for lots of files (#node_modules) and considering switching back now, is there a non-big tech alternative that works similarly? unfortunately not so open to self-host this

Orogene, orogene.dev/.

> Orogene is a next-generation package manager for tools that use node_modules/, such as bundlers, CLI tools, and Node.js-based applications. It's fast, robust, and meant to be easily integrated into your workflows such that you never have to worry about whether your node_modules/ is up to date.

It’s really faster than other tools, check the benchmarks, github.com/orogene/orogene/blo.

Found the culprit. My other least favorite system: npm!.

We were accumulating hundreds of GBs a week in yarn caches. All stored in dockers overlayfs.

Not suprisingly #docker and #node_modules is a bad combination.

Guess I'll be wasting the rest of the week tuning docker, CI, and yarn.

Why did we do this again? 🤔
