Pacgraph

Pacgraph takes a snapshot of your system and draws a web of all the packages and dependencies. The size of the text is directly proportional to the size of that package in the system.

This is what my main laptop looks like. LaTeX is taking way too much space. Unfortunately, I need it for my school work.

Someday perhaps I will go around carrying only a book, a change of clothes, a pen, a water bottle, a folding umbrella, and a little capsule that turns into my livelihood when opened. Rollable hi-res screen and keyboard, tiny computer the size of a cell phone or smaller but as light as a pen, with high-speed satellite connectivity anywhere on the globe. In this world, my sleeping bag, pad and windproof hammock weigh only a pound put together. For half of the year I travel the world, alone and with companions, with a small bag slung over my shoulder like Kwai Chang Caine. We sleep outdoors, travel on trains, and a few days of the week sit some place cozy and create beautiful software or solve interesting problems that improve the world.

Sure, your computer can perform 10 billion floating point operations per second. But most of the time it’s not doing anything at all. Just like you.
