figured this might be the right place to drop a heartily "Thank You!" for your work regarding git-annex (as well for your contributions to Debian and the FLOSS universe in general).
I'm still in the process of trying to wrap my head around the git-annex complex to find the right(TM) implementation for my use case. For me, git-annex strives for essentials, i.e. future-proving, wide applicability and others. Steep learning curve for the diligent user trying to find the right way the first time w/o losing data while using it.
Best prove of a successful and sustainable piece of software seems to be the diversity of use cases others find to apply it to. Looking around the web and seeing the diversity of real and serious git-annex applications is just plain amazing.
Just wanted to leave you a message to say I think you're cool. I'm Gen Z and just recently I am diving into the world of Open Source and its culture. I just have a lot of fascination for people like you who do great, but really magnificent thing and stay so cool about it, not in the spotlights or whatever. Believe it or not, but I found out about git annex from ChatGPT when I asked how I can organize multiple hard drives that I have gather over the years with a lot of duplicate files on them. I want to go to film school you see and I want to organize all the footage I have so I can do cool things with it.
Anyway it is always a breeze to come from something like ChatGPT to a corner of the internet that is so real. In a way it feels quite intimate to leave a message here on your user page of some thing that you created to explain something else you created! It gives me nostalgia to a time I never experienced.
Looking forward to learn more about you and the things you do and to figure whether git annex is a fit for me. If it is then I will make sure to tell everybody I know about it because it all looks so cool to me already.
