Toot

Started the new year by pushing a bunch of commits to #github, when I got the dreaded warning about commit file size:

remote: warning: File ... is larger than GitHub's recommended maximum file size of 50.00 MB.

The recommended solution is to use #gitlfs, but having been burned by it in the past, I know Git LFS is the spawn of the devil.

So looking for an alternative, I came upon #gitannex.

Will try that on an experimental basis to see if it works.

@sumanthvepa I've been using git annex since before git lfs existed (literally, and by quite some years) and it just keeps getting better. Lack of forge support is probably the only real drawback, but given the repo can live on forges even without support and the annex data passed around other ways it has never been a blocker.

@alerque @sumanthvepa Nowadays you can rather easily host a forgejo with git annex support, which is just marvellous! 👌
