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 the quality is good. Properly stitched logos that never wash off. They are a small family business that uses and supports #FOSS.

@olm_e @FreeCAD You could use :gitannex: #gitAnnex and/or :datalad: #dataLad to version control your designs. I have not tried it with #FreeCAD, but I do it all the time with #solveSpace and #OpenSCAD. Git Annex allows version-controlling arbitrarily-large files and provides a simple 'git annex assist` command to 'do the git stuff' and sync everyone up. Don't know how assemblies work in FreeCAD, but if it is one file that sources other, independent files, then it should work.

@blami @publicvoit :gitannex: #gitAnnex does this pretty well. It'll also keep all old versions of files in a read-only hidden directory tree until you tell or configure it otherwise and it'll stubbornly refuse to actually delete anything unless it can provably see there are N other copies elsewhere or you force it to. My synced files have never felt safer.

But its noob-UX is kinda terrible compared to :syncthing: #Syncthing - it's first and foremost a cli program: :git: #git

Today, with @drballistic we had the pleasure of presenting a tutorial, Managing Scientific Data and Workflows with @datalad at EuroSciPy.

Our materials are at olebialas.github.io/DataLad-Eu

Thanks to the organizers, the recording is already available online: youtube.com/watch?v=vvYwPl9pau

A lot of cool people and projects around, looking forward to hearing the talks over the next days!

Me with a microphone and a pointer, wearing a DataLad polo shirt and a conference badge, in front of a beamer screen. The slide on a screen is titled "A community project"; slide text says: 10+ years of ongoing development and maintainance, 100 + contributors across core, extensions, and Handbook.

With @adswa we built a #gitAnnex special remote for 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 (see README), and the API availability could be better. But if you don't like their android/desktop app, this could be means to put that drive to good use.

see shy jo

testing new #gitAnnex feature that lets it be used with just about any P2P network that supports socket-like connections. yggdrasil, fowl, iroh, etc. Expanding on tor hidden services that git-annex already supports.

My test script simulates such a network using socket files with this absurdly small shell script.

It was pretty cool when "git pull" and "git-annex get" just worked over this on the 1st try.

#!/bin/sh if [ "$1" = address ]; then date +%s else if [ -z "$2" ]; then socat - UNIX-CONNECT:"/tmp/$1" else ln -sf $(realpath "$socketfile") "/tmp/$1" fi fi

And here another one: #gitAnnex is notorious for making many commits in the background to the branches synced/<yourbranch>, synced/git-annex and git-annex. These have a perfectly valid technical reason and make git annex as awesome as it is, but in a #forgejo dashboard feed, these are massively confusing as they mask the really important changes. With a little bit of template massaging, these can be filtered out. Probably better to make this configurable somehow (checkbox? 🤔), but this is a workable solution for now.

(This might interest the @datalad people @matrss @mih)

(long!) forgejo dashboard screenshot with, annotated "😣 all that git-annex noise in the dashboard", many elements (concerning synced/* and git-annex branches) crossed out but five interesting ones marked with a green box. Lines lead to a much smaller screenshot with only the interesting ones remaining labeled "😌 much cleaner now". Below is a box of code labeled "filtering those out in the feeds template" with this diff: commit e9855aab9f1650440a9e5ecded8b060ccde057d3 Author: Yann Büchau <nobodyinperson@posteo.de> Date: Mon Jul 21 11:16:39 2025 +0200 🙈 Hide synced/* and git-annex branches in dashboard diff --git a/templates/user/dashboard/feeds.tmpl b/templates/user/dashboard/feeds.tmpl index e9fbb7a5b9..c06914ecc7 100644 --- a/templates/user/dashboard/feeds.tmpl +++ b/templates/user/dashboard/feeds.tmpl @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ <div id="activity-feed" class="flex-list"> {{range .Feeds}} + {{ if not (or (and (ge (len .GetBranch) 7) (eq (slice .GetBranch 0 7) "synced/")) (eq .GetBranch "git-annex")) }} <div class="flex-item"> <div class="flex-item-leading"> {{ctx.AvatarUtils.AvatarByAction .}} @@ -125,6 +126,7 @@ {{svg (printf "octicon-%s" (ActionIcon .GetOpType)) 32 "text grey tw-mr-1"}} </div> </div> + {{ end }} {{end}} {{template "base/paginate" .}} </div>

It's very useful if you self-host the #FOSS tools you need, because then you can fix little issues you have here and there on your own.

For example, we use #forgejoAneksajo (#forgejo with #gitAnnex support) to sync and collaborate on code and data. We often have long filenames, which are unfortunately obstructed by forgejo's gigantic commit message column 😅 But a bit of #CSS later and that's fixed so we can more easily browse through our multicopter flight plots 😌

two screenshots of a forgejo folder/file list. The file names are long and all have the same prefix, the interesting different part is covered by the gigantic next column for the commit message, which has thrice the space of the actual text as whitespace to the right. In that space, a shrugging Spongebob subtitled "why all this space?" is shown. An arrow leads to the second screenshot with a much smaller commit message column, and relieved emoji 😌 "aaah much better", caused by the followingCSS: td.message { width: 10% !important; } td.age { width: 1% !important; }

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...

@umphy I spent the last two weeks migrating and curating all the :nixos: #NixOS configurations for the sensor packages to flakes. Previously, I hand-rolled the pinning, and it involved a lot of manual scripting, which is now gone, what a relief! 🥳

I had to drop :gitannex: #gitAnnex though for tracking assets I want to deploy on the copters. Unfortunately, flakes don't like git annex. 😔 But there is workarounds for many things.
