What's the best way of vendoring a couple hundred gigabytes spread across millions of small files into git? I would need these files mounted with VFS not to pull in the whole thing in CI.

LFS isn't good enough as it breaks down at over a million files in my experience.

I am used to closed solutions for doing that at work, but now I need something publicly available for my own side projects.

Been fiddling with Jujutsu VCS and the simple adjustment of having to describe my change/commit *before* I start changing files is profound.

surprise, surprise: Trump gave #DavidSacks (pro #Putin, anti-#Ukraine All In Podcast broligarch and America's "crypto & AI czar") a waiver on any and all financial conflicts of interest that could result from Sacks using taxpayer money to enrich himself by investing in his crypto & AI scams.

(i will note that Sacks claims to have divested himself of his crypto investments but i find it impossible to believe he isn't at least indirectly financially exposed to the crypto market)

Remember, it was Sacks who helped propose the #StrategicCryptoReserve which proposed that US taxpayers invest in the same 5 cryptocurrencies held by Sacks's company #Bitwise.

Writing changelogs is probably not the favorite task of any developer. I have even seen services that try doing that for you. However, instead of relying on another dependency, it is quite easy to create such changelogs with standard unix command line tools, if you follow some convention in your version control history.

I have written a blog post showing how I handle this.
