Git-annex: Peer-to-peer network with Tor
- TempleOS 10y agoYou are one dumb ugly son of a bitch, LOL.
- sblom 10y agoMaybe I'm lacking in imagination--what are the killer scenarios for this?
- JoshTriplett 10y agoYou have two random systems on opposite sides of various NATs or other awkward network topologies, and you want to move data between them.
- sytse 10y agoThis is great stuff! Annex stores large files that are linked from a repository. You can already easily mirror the repository and the files in it [1]. This allows you to easily transfer the linked files as well. Now the next step is federated pull/merge requests [2]. 1 https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/repository_mirroring.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/repository_mirroring.htm... 2 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4013 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4013
- tscs37 10y agoI've tried git-annex a while ago, while I admit this is definitely a killer feature I wasn't aware of, it is just not what I'm looking for tbh. Tho I hope that annex gets more attention, it's still a great tool, especially with this tor pairing.
- zer0t3ch 10y agoWhat makes it such a killer feature? Maybe I'm missing something, but I simply don't see the point.
- sytse 10y agoIf you use Git LFS this is a good way to not depend on central hosting for replication.
- tscs37 10y agoUsing Tor enables uses behind NATs to utilize annex. This was one of my problems, I could simply not get annex to pull or push any changes from anywhere due to the NAT problems I have with my ISP/Router.
