My kids are tech-privileged. They're playing Super Mario 64 on the steamdeck via #RetroArch, and wanted to play Kirby. While they played, I SSHed onto the Steamdeck, and #GitAnnex get'ed the Kirby ROM from my fileserver. #techdad

Oh wow, since when do we have tab completions for :gitannex: #gitannex? 😲

Updated #forgejoaneksajo (:forgejo: #forgejo with :gitannex: #gitannex support) to the latest v9.0.2 base. Just some juggling of hashes in my :nixos: #nixos config.

Thank you very much @matrss for keeping this amazing fork up to date 🤗 […]

:git: #git really needs an easy way to temporarily disable specific remotes (e.g. when they're unresponsive right now) that does not involve completely removing (then recreating) it or commenting it out in `git config --edit`. Would also be very beneficial for :gitAnnex: #gitannex which gets […]

Import cards into holding directories; sort into rough events with YYYY-MM-DD directory name prefixes. Add to #gitannex, do backups etc from there

Use #git annex to then delete photos from import directories and SD cards with the knowledge of having at least three known-good copies on various media

I don't know why, but on #nixos 25.05 I'm back again keeping my worktree nice and DIRTY so I can use :gitannex: #gitannex'ed files. 🙄

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?? 😮

The past weeks have again upped the urgency of moving away from the US tech cloud. After forever Google and 18 years GitHub this is hard for me.

This is the first post that documents the new #selfhosted setup of the #research group I am heading

#forgejo #gitAnnex
Collaborative infrastructure for a lab: Forgejo
The first installment of a mini-series on a self-hosted, collaborative infrastructure: Run Forgejo on a small VPS or NAS as a central collaboration platform for a lab or group.

Hey #gitannex people, I decided to try again to use annex because it looks amazing. I decided to have a central repository on my server, so my home raspberry pi can connect there whenever I have internet at home and get data from the server, while I send things to the server whenever my laptop […]

For several days now my DSL Internet at home is broken (because I moved the cabinet?), so my #homelab and its web infrastructure is unavailable - even locally because of CSRF and https annoyances. 🙄

Single point of failure, huh...

At least anything :gitannex: #gitannex is reliable as ever - […]

And apparently :gitannex: #gitannex can't do importtree-only remotes¹ (without exporttree), you one really has to reimplement the rsync logic when something needs to be copied and then install the file manually...

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...
July 20, 2025 at 12:23 PM
I must say I am positively impressed at how resilient to my own stupidity #gitannex is. :D
July 13, 2025 at 11:21 AM
OK! I think I'm starting to get th hang of #gitannex . Got a few scary moments with losing (?) some files at the beginning but if I don't have the assistant running in the background to eagerly mess with my repo without me noticing it goes well. :)
March 7, 2025 at 8:53 AM
That's how I ended up using #GitAnnex + 3-2-1 rule for non-coding files. Backups are good, but with git-annex, it's another level - you can not only distribute your files between storages, but also you can sync file moves, and more.
