With some trial and error, I managed to get down to 65 MB (from previously ~120 GB). Awesome.

Took me 6 hours to figure all that out but now I have a clean Git repo. Isn't that worth it? ;)

Ok, from 25 GB down to 3.75 GB. Now trying files above 0.5 MB.

I'm impressed by "BFG Repo-Cleaner"" https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/! From 117 GB I was able to reduce to 25 GB in the first run only deleting files above 100 MB using this command:

$ java -jar bfg-1.13.0.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 100M .git

Now, I'm letting another round run. This time with files bigger than 1M:

$ java -jar bfg-1.13.0.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 1M .git

Because essentially, I only want to have code files and markdown files being git-ed.

And there's a less "scary" alternative to using "filter-branch". it's called "BFG Repo-Cleaner" https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/ - found via https://stackoverflow.com/a/17890278/863818

Trying that now because going through all files of the last 6 months is tedious work (insane).

Let's see how that works.

Probably doing the nerdiest thing in my life. I'm removing or purging files (one by one) from a Git repository that had grown beyond 100 GB without me noticing and eating lots of space.

Using the filter-branch command (via https://stackoverflow.com/a/6404368/863818):

git filter-branch --index-filter "git rm -rf -f --cached --ignore-unmatch --MYPATHTOFILE" HEAD

If some of the stuff resonates with you, that’s great. If not, I don’t mind. I’ll continue anyway just as a Rambo does, as I said in https://stolenvoice.tv/25

Don’t watch stolenvoice tv if you want polished. Watch it if you want raw, real, true stuff. And if you don’t watch, do not.

Whatever your choice is, I appreciate you.

Get the review by my holy quadruple Frank, Hank, Jimmy and Alex. Here’s their point of view.

I don’t want people to watch it. I honestly don’t care about views, subscribers but I don’t mind if there are. What I’m doing here is documenting my creator’s journey by sharing it publicly so that I can keep myself accountable on what I’m doing, saying (and not doing and saying) and having a lasting public diary that I can refer to in the future if I want to.

This is not a story to consume but raw food that is hard to digest.

Maybe there’s been confusion about the purpose of stolenvoice tv, my weekly show-up show and „life update“. In the show, I’m documenting my journey as a voice actor, artist, creative and entrepreneur.

stolenvoice tv is not a format where I’m telling a cohesive story that you can easily consume before going to bed. stolenvoice tv is more like a raw potato, a crunchy carrot or a fresh beetroot: raw, hard to digest, by design.

My voiceover journey started 333 days ago. This is my path to become an actor, so I don’t regret that I haven’t tried pursuing it!

@aral Interesting film, still sorting my thoughts on what to think of it.

@garrett That's cool! It's my life's project, so I'm excited as well :=)

@garrett That's right. I just bought the domain. It's going to a collective "hub" for my ventures towards the paradise concept that I've been having in mind for years. freewritecamp.org is part of it as well as paradisebook.net (page is online) and paradiseisland.io (page is not online yet). All around the topic of self-discovery (identity exploration), democracy and joy of life.

Awesome! Dutch „De Correspondent“ goes English (USA) - finally I’ll be able to understand what they’re writing about ;)

Crowdfunding is happening now: https://thecorrespondent.com/

@garrett :)

Hey @garrett, not sure you're aware of this already, but since you are a gamer there's a social platform (maybe) coming up for gamers, called: GameCritter.

They're running a crowdfunding campaign https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gamecritter/gamecritter-gamified-social-platform-where-gamers

They wanna integrate a crowdfunding function to directly support new games, and they say:

"…we don't want to focus this platform on selling. We want this to be a comfortable environment for gamers where they don't feel that they're flustered with ads."

@garrett So kind of you, merci :)

@staff yeah! you're very welcome!

Hey @staff, just wanted to let you know that I expressed my alignment with your ideas at "Approaching Utopia" at my project freewritecamp.org, see screenshot :)
