Infinite-Storage-Glitch VS git-remote-dropbox

So, I'm reminded of the old 'store your files in youtube' thing[0] and I wonder how much bandwidth one could get using one of the normal voice conferencing solutions to further blend in. Bonus if you can do some kind of video steganography to transfer the data and have a 'real' call.

There are even tools that can encode any file into video, so you can use reddit as free storage (kinda). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Hey! I was actually messing around with this last night, you can use this https://github.com/DvorakDwarf/Infinite-Storage-Glitch

I took a look at the repo and from the little I saw it looks very interesting, keep it up! My doubt I have is that if you were inspired by this repo, but you did it in a version of Python?

the way i said that was for compressing files into videos (https://github.com/DvorakDwarf/Infinite-Storage-Glitch) can actually store 45GB per hour of video. guess history repeats itself...

Someone is gonna find a way to turn this into a cloud storage. They could do something like this.

I mean, as someone else already mentioned this was already done in February: https://github.com/DvorakDwarf/Infinite-Storage-Glitch

For what it's worth, git also can fail in some pretty bizarre ways in Dropbox for much the same reasons. I've used git-remote-dropbox [1] in the past to use Dropbox as a git server.

If you want to use dropbox, then you should use the dropbox/git bridge, which lets git speak to dropbox somewhat directly, bypassing these problems.

This is a high-level overview. No summary of API requests, but all the file I/O is in helper.py, so you can look there. At a high level, we rely on atomic (over)write and atomic test-and-set. Different primitives could work too, as long as there's some way to get concurrency control through the API.

So, if you really want to use dropbox for syncing git repos, this plugin solves the problem well:

For me, it solved all of the corruption problems with using Dropbox for git storage. In the end, I decided it was too heavy weight, and wanted to be able to clone my repo on machines that might not have anything other than "git" installed, but until I reached that point, I was a happy user of it.

I'm not aware of a similar tool for syncthing.

Yeah there are tools that help in doing that. e.g, git-remote+dropbox
