#datalad — Public Fediverse posts

Thanks to @knue and Vahideh Alizadeh from @HZDR / CASUS for a fun workshop at the #ISC #HighPerformance conference today in Hamburg! We talked about #gitannex, @datalad and the #datalad-slurm extension, and met a friendly and interested crowd from across the world. It was cool to introduce decentral version control for large data to this technically highly proficient audience! :git: :unix:

And here is my published dissertation @umphy, about quantifying the natural CO2 exhaust at the Starzach site in Southwest Germany (my result: ~10t/d):

I used a lot of #FOSS software and hardware for all of it and it was amazing. Honorable mentions: #gitAnnex, #dataLad, #KiCAD, #OpenSCAD, #PlatformIO, #Arduino, #TexLaTeX. I just wish I'd used #nix / #nixOS sooner.

Anyone else running into this experience-crippling #forgejo bug causing the activity page (de facto landing page for every user) to take extremely long to load (for me 10 seconds)?

Some more `git subtree push` quirks:

• `git subtree push` (obviously) does not push :gitannex: #gitAnnex files to the remote. Syncing annexed files there is unergonomic.
• `git subtree push` also strips commit signatures (e.g. GPG and as such #OpenTimeStamps timestamps). The truth lies in the monorepo only. Understandable, but very uncool.

git submodules have neither problem, but without tools like :datalad: #datalad you can't commit at once.

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.

Three days of DataLad-Workshop & Hackathon in Aachen https://winoda.de/en/2025/09/25/three-days-of-datalad-workshop-hackathon-in-aachen/ In everyday research, a lot of mostly heterogeneous data is generated, which is often processed and analyzed collaboratively. This involves complex workflows and ML pipelines consisting of numerous transformation and […] #WiNoDaKnowledgeLabJournalen #Data #DataCompetenceCenter #DataLad #Git #Report

Hello Leipzig, Germany! We're looking forward to the #DataLad workshop on September 29th/30th at @ufz: https://events.hifis.net/event/2531

:datalad: :forgejo: :git: :gitannex:

If you are attending this year's @distribits end of October¹ and you want to be dressed 'appropriately' 😉, last year I organised that hellotux.com offers :gitannex: #gitAnnex² and :datalad: #dataLad³ shirts, sweaters. Now also backpacks 🎒 and towels can be ordered.

I ordered several items and the quality is good. Properly stitched logos that never wash off. They are a small family business that uses and supports #FOSS.

@olm_e @FreeCAD You could use :gitannex: #gitAnnex and/or :datalad: #dataLad to version control your designs. I have not tried it with #FreeCAD, but I do it all the time with #solveSpace and #OpenSCAD. Git Annex allows version-controlling arbitrarily-large files and provides a simple 'git annex assist` command to 'do the git stuff' and sync everyone up. Don't know how assemblies work in FreeCAD, but if it is one file that sources other, independent files, then it should work.

@diegolakatos If you like :gitannex: #gitAnnex, there's a fork of #forgejo: #forgejoAneksajo:

https://codeberg.org/forgejo-aneksajo/forgejo-aneksajo

With this, you can also store arbitrarily big files on your forgejo, use it as a file syncing service like #syncthing, organise your research data or media database with #datalad, etc.

@umphy :gitannex: #gitAnnex and :datalad: #dataLad organize the data and sync it to our own :forgejo: #forgejoAneksajo instance. You can instantly see if everything is there and worked. A great workflow!

Nach drei Tagen Workshop zu #DataLad in Aachen - danke nochmals an @lukascbossert und Team des @dkz2r für die tolle Organisation - heute ein Training zu #Moodle... Leider muss ich mich jetzt wieder selbst ums Catering kümmern... Zum Glück hat es etwas abgekühlt (zumindest hier bei mir sind es sommerlich "normale 19°C bei Wolken. Herrlich!)

@AvSchroeder @lukascbossert @mih @dkz2r @adswa @doktorpanik @jsheunis @abcdj @nfdi4objects @nfdi4ing @WiNoDa @NFDI

Sounds like it was a fantastic workshop – thanks for sharing your impressions! Kudos to the #DataLad team! 👏

@lukascbossert @mih @dkz2r @adswa @doktorpanik @jsheunis @abcdj @nfdi4objects @nfdi4ing @WiNoDa @NFDI it was a great workshop and if our heads smoked it was only due to the heat - the #DataLad Team did an excellent job of explaining, repairing botched attempts, and even bugfixing while remaining calm, patient and friendly the whole time -- I enjoyed it a lot.
Lots to process now...

@mih @dkz2r @adswa @doktorpanik @jsheunis @abcdj @nfdi4objects @nfdi4ing @WiNoDa Last day of our 3-days workshop at the IT Center of the #RWTH Aachen. Today everyone is diving deeper in the realm of #datalad and applying it to the individual usecases. BIG THANK YOU to the whole #datalad team for making this possible and supporting us. Voting for #datalad as @NFDI - Base service: #RDM ❤️ #datalad.

@mih @dkz2r @adswa @doktorpanik @WiNoDa @nfdi4objects @abcdj

Since there is so much potential - who has started working on the integration of #DataLad into #Emacs ? A nice addition could be something the #casual suite / #transient menu.

@mih @dkz2r @adswa @doktorpanik @WiNoDa @nfdi4ing @nfdi4objects @abcdj
We are continuting on day 2 and learn about #data #anotation with #datalad. The sky is the limit – so much potential! Great fun learning about it.

There is now a #gitAnnex package on #PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/git-annex/

This should make it simpler to deploy git-annex in Python virtual environments, also as versioned dependencies for software like #Datalad

Packages are built for Linux, Windows, and Mac via GitHub actions: https://github.com/psychoinformatics-de/git-annex-wheel/

Contributions to cover more platforms are most welcome!

I want a build system that:

- is as powerful and flexible as #SCons
- as readable and concise as #SnakeMake
- has a fricking progress bar+ETA
- is :datalad: #datalad / :gitannex: #gitannex agnostic (knows that files can be fetched from elsewhere
- remembers how long building things takes
- balances that to decide if rebuilding locally instead of fetching gigabytes via slow internet is favorable
- integrates well with :nixos: #nix for reproducibility

Just set up a new Synology NAS box and installed forgejo-aneksajo (a git web UI with built-in git-annex support) on it: https://effigies.gitlab.io/posts/forgejo-aneksajo-synology/

Just a quick post that highlights what needed to be adapted from this earlier post on the #DataLad blog: https://mas.to/@mih/112880585950408351
