Mac mini disk usage dropped dramatically from 147 GiB to 15 GiB
SSH connection to mac-mini retrieved current disk usage showing a dramatic reduction in used space. The filesystem /dev/disk3s1s1 (mounted at /) now reports only 15 GiB used with 6% capacity, compared to 147 GiB used (37% capacity) in the most recent monitoring run from 2026-05-03. This represents an unexpected ~132 GiB reduction. Previous memory entries consistently showed usage between 147-153 GiB, making this sudden drop significant and potentially indicating either a major cleanup operation, filesystem remount, or measurement anomaly that requires investigation.
