🇳🇱
@Russelli btw you know we host a free gitlab instance with ultimate license you are welcome to use.
@freemo Okay I joined.
Is gitlab better for large file storage?
@Russelli GIT in general isnt usually a good idea for large file storage. Though as long as it isnt too large it can be used that way. But its not what I'd recommend, especially on qoto. We have a NextCloud instance which is better if you just want to store large files. That is also open to our users.
@freemo Oh yeah, totally git is a nightmare for LFS. I spend a lot of time using the bfg, removing large files I accidentally committed. Really, Next cloud also. Wow qoto users are so lucky! I once tried to use Open Science Frame work, it is meant for open data storage it has some git like behavior, and the principle is awesome, but programmatic access to Open Science Frame is cumbersome.
@Russelli You really should read our about more page, it outlines all our services and also goes into some details on our moderation policies which is important too:
@freemo Okay I read it. It looks like qoto is very STEM driven, and supporting of FOSS tool chains and services. I think I probably put thought into joining qoto at the time, and then downgraded my memory of what I had joined to FB/twitter alternative. Hey umm... when trying to login to these services, I think I got some auto logins that were based on redirections from logged in qoto. Then I bungled up that work flow, by trying to login with my actual email. How can I consult the appropriate credentials? And also thanks for all of your help @freemo I really like this STEM community. I checked out Funk whale, it looks like a FOSS alternative to spotify and pandora.
