After spending some time hacking my own vision out of necessity today, Iron (wo)Man style, I finally managed to finish the analysis of how we are currently using Nextcloud for file sync and sharing. I don't know who might find this chart interesting, but it is detailed and those details are accurate for our setup. Reason I need this is because before you migrate to a better system, it is a good practice to see things clearly as they are first.

I have recently started using #gitAnnex for #dataManagement and #fileSynchronization of both small and large files across multiple machines. So far, I am very happy with it, even though I have not configured everything to my liking just yet.

One big step forward, the preservation of the modification timestamp of my old data, I have now documented in a blog post: https://hoowl.se/git_annex_managing_ancient_data.html

Oh, I am in love with #rsync haha! Been using it quite a bit to transfer files between my retiring #MacBookAir, #raspberrypi4b and #MacminiM1.

This page has everything to get you started, it helped me understand what all the flags and options mean.

I want to gather data off my existing PCs onto the hard drive of the laptop I just got. I could buy an external hard drive to copy it all onto, then copy to the new laptop. But surely there's some way to do this over the net, ideally on the local network? To avoid the extra purchase and double copying. I've had success doing this with SyncThing in the past, but the last time I tried it didn't seem to be working. I'll try again, but any other suggestions?

What is everybody using for syncing contents of two directories on the same local drive? 📁 ↔️ 📁 A #FOSS / #FLOSS solution is preferred but I don't mind a paid / proprietary option if it's genuinely good!

Boosts welcome!
