#gitannex
I finally beefed up my :nix: #nix derivation for the :gitannex: #gitannex standalone builds so the download process of the non-predictable version url is automated. It now uses git annex itself to retrieve the tarball from a matching commit in @joeyh's build repo. Funny bootstrapping situation […]

I finally tried out a new cool feature of :gitannex: #gitannex: compute special remotes²!

Git annex is a ridiculously powerful git extension to manage large files. It remembers which file is stored on which remote. Compute special remotes now take this to another level by computing files on the […]

If you are attending this year's @distribits end of October¹ and you want to be dressed 'appropriately' 😉, last year I organised that hellotux.com offers :gitannex: #gitAnnex² and :datalad: #dataLad³ shirts, sweaters. Now also backpacks 🎒 and towels can be ordered.

I ordered several items and […]

Does anyone know or use #Internxt¹?

295€ for a 3TB storage sounds... Too good? 🤨

But @adswa @mih made a :gitannex: #gitannex remote for it, so it is a real thing?? 😮

@fallenhitokiri

> selectively syncing still seems to rely on editing a text file

That's the reason I eventually switched to :gitannex: to have more control. But it's by far not as convenient as syncthing in many regards.

With @adswa we built a #gitannex special remote for https://internxt.com/drive

They offer "lifetime" plans for >>TB-sized zero-knowledge-encrypted cloud storage.
Should be good for private stuff.

The special remote implementation is wrapped around the official CLI.

It is not without issues […]

Starting a # gitAnnex fsck job on a repository that has approx. 1TB of mp3 files... this will take a while.

Alter Verwalter! Grade gesehen, dass mein :gitannex: #gitannex talk vom #tdf4 in #Tübingen über 6k views hat! 🤯

Git Annex ist aber halt auch cool! 😌

Heyy #gitannex quality people, do you have a quality tutorial to follow for archiving photographs? I am not satisfied with just creating a repo on an external drive because then I can't easily browse the archived photographs, and I am struggling to make an exported directory repo...

And yet another 100 lines of :bash: #bash because :nixos: #nix flakes don't play nice with :git: #gitannex... 😑

I must say I am positively impressed at how resilient to my own stupidity #gitannex is. :D

@umphy :gitannex: #gitannex and :datalad: #DataLad organize the data and sync it to our own :forgejo: #forgejoanneksajo instance. You can instantly see if everything is there and worked. A great workflow!

Importing all our photos into #Immich I'm being bitten hard by :gitannex: #gitannex not really caring about file timestamps - many files end up at the date I last did some big git annex get or whatever 😩 Kind of expected though. Luckily, most files have a rather sensible timestamp, so I wrote […]

There is now also a #gitannex wheel on PyPi that should run on any system with GLIBC 2.17+. This should work on CentOS7 (released more than 10 years ago).

If you have access to such a machine, please consider giving it a try.

Thanks!

Is there a tool to set up #gitannex to calculate archive unpackings yet? Something™ could look at a repo's .zip / .tar.gz files, check whether any file in the repo is also in there, and annotate it as computed / computable. (I'm not aiming to restore the zip files from the content –that'd be […]

Yay, @joeyh made it so :gitannex: #gitannex pushes the current branch first (not the git-annex or synced/* branches). This is awesome when you want to push-to-create a local repo to your @forgejo or #gitlab instance. Previously, `git annex assist` et al. would result in e.g. synced/main (or […]
