I've overheard someone at #distribits saying that the hash value in the distribits logo is from the first commit to #DataLad and I've just checked and can confirm that this is true (except for the year in the middle, 360f isn't exactly a valid one). Relatedly, I've learned that DataLad apparently was called DataGit in the beginning. I don't actually know what to do with this information.

Do you have big data to share in a forge? Try #forgejoaneksajo! It's an active soft fork of @forgejo, adding git-annex support.
@matrss gave a nice talk about it on @distribits, which you can watch there. Thank you!

PS: I wish #GinGNode (gin.g-node.org) will update to this at some point in the future! It goes one step further, adding DOIs to datasets/code.

Completed my first personal technology upgrade after this year's #distribits: new phone running #grapheneos

Needing new hardware was annoying (it appears nothing in the past 5 years has made devices truly better).

But the software makes up for it! Smooth installation, polished feel. For the first time in forever, I feel like the phone OS is on my side, rather than taking me hostage for commercial exploitation. A feeling that, so far, only my #debian machines could provide.

Thanks!

#distribits has been amazing 🤩 #distribits2025

#gitAnnex can now use Iroh to connect two repositories located anywhere, including behind firewalls needing hole punching.

As well as sending data with git-annex, git pull and push works too

I must say the #distribits #distribits2025 conference is really nicely organized. I really like the structure of having three talks, then QA session and the extensive coffee breaks in between.
Really nicely done! Thanks to the whole team!

I am very proud of the title "state of the art workaround"
Check out Andreas Knüpfers talk on DataLad slurm and a less hacky solution for large scale HPC reproducibility :D
