Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You could store one "average" image, and deltas on it. Like Git stores your previous version + a bunch of branches on top.
Note that Git doesnt store deltas. It will reuse unchanged files, but stores a (compressed) version of every file that has existed in the whole history, under its SHA1 hash.
Indeed! Interesting! I made an experiment now with a non-compressible file (strings < /dev/urandom | head -n something) and it shows you're right. 2nd commit, where I added a tiny line to that file, increased repo size by almost the size of the whole file.
Thanks for this bit.
