How to know if bitcoind synced?

I installed the bitcoind and started it as daemon.
After 10hours I’ve tried “du -h”

ubuntu@ip-172-31-37-93:~/.Bitcoin$ du -h
16K     ./database
59M     ./blocks/index
29G     ./blocks
646M    ./chainstate
30G     . 

How to know if it synced or not?

UPD found an interesting script to monitor node sync status How to check Bitcoind block chain download progress level
