Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

It only takes a minute of your time to copy your important files to a drive or the cloud. I (potentially) lost one year of progress on a book I'm writing because of my negligence.

So please don't be like me.

For smaller binary files it's fine. I use it for my desktop wallpapers. For large binary files there are a bunch of extensions out there like git-lfs or git-annex. Vanilla git can handle binary files up to a few GB IIRC but it gets unusably slow when you throw multiple large binary files at it.
