In addition to seeing how much disk space is used locally it's also useful to see how much is getting backed up, especially if you're in a semi-habit of excluding folders and files (tmutil addexclusion) from backups manually.

You can use dust -X file_or_dir_to_not_count to ignore certain files or directories. You can also use dust -v REGEX to ignore files that match the REGEX

I don't really want to have dust integrate with whatever time machine does as I'd like to keep it separate from other tools.

FWIW I believe Time Machine exclusions are recorded as extended attributes on the files so it's little different from separate ignore files.
