Makes sense, I don't run a lot of applications other than developer tooling that keep very small overwriting caches. So day to day build up isn't a huge issue.

This experience I have of low disk space is only on Sequoia which I haven't seen give an OS notification until 5gb left, which again doesn't happen often.

> Maybe you like living dangerously?

lol! This comment made my night. In short: low available disk space, lots of projects requiring disk space.

No I don't see OS notifications about low disk space (at least on my macbook), some 3rd party applications give me notifications about low disk space though. I can confirm that all of my USB-C ports work! I have 2 local drives and a remote NAS that backup all the 'critical' data from my machine.

Unlike other operating systems I've had experience with, macOS is the most capable of operating in a (near) 'disk full' state. Where something like Windows will go from crying about the available disk space, to failing opening explorer, macOS will continue running just fine for general usage.

> Wonder what other aspects of your life you choose to live so dangerously close to the edge as well?

As for this: I've spent the last year living in India, where most people I've met think they are invincible, so I roll the dice every day!

I'm not denying you're experiencing this, I believe this issue occurs for you and likely has occured across OS and/or application versions.

My personal MacBook had 8GB of free storage (4.2GB after my test recording). I experience issues with programs like xcode failing to compile or crashes when I open too many files, pages hasn't been able to save a file since the machine had 15GB+ free.

I just download, installed, and recorded 10 minutes of desktop footage with a webcam overlay and audio. Nothing unexpected happened. I watched all 9 minutes and 28 seconds of it and it looks and sounds exactly as I would expect.

I spent my time doing this and writing this comment not to belittle you or your experience, though at this point I would ask you what do you expect to happen?

You did not post an existing bug report, or write one yourself. You've provided no evidence that anyone who contributes meaningfully to the project has experienced or even heard about this issue, let alone anyone who operates the project or consumes it from macos has any notion it is an issue.

Again, I believe this is a real issue. But there is no information here to go off of, especially with my experience, that points to anyway to meaningfully improve an OSS project in regards to your experience. If nobody with the requisite experience is asking the right questions, this will not get fixed. It starts with those people having any information to start with.

I can access gbif.org with and without WARP from here.

Sometimes sites like hubspot block me without WARP, but it's usually small blogs or technical project sites that give me trouble.

So it could have to do with free vs paid plans being more aggressive with default rules.

I checked just for fun, also blocked. Could be because I'm in India, but even with CF warp, still blocked..

I do enjoy some of the free cloudflare services for personal projects, but to act like they provide some great infallible business structure or services is ridiculous.
