A file intelligence system for content-addressable storage, deduplication, and provenance tracking.
fossick /ˈfäsik/ — Australian mining slang from the 1850s meaning "to search for gold or gemstones by picking over abandoned workings; to rummage in search of something valuable."
The name felt right for a tool designed to dig through old hard drives, backup disks, and forgotten archives to find and preserve what matters.
Also, the author has a bit of a digital hoarding... condition... so the "-sick" suffix resonated on a personal level.
Under active development. Evolving from FindMedia with expanded scope for universal file management and ZFS-based archival storage.
- Content-addressable storage using BLAKE3 hashing
- Deduplication across drives, backups, and cloud exports
- Provenance tracking — know where every file came from
- Intelligent export with hash-prefixed filenames for reverse lookup
- ZFS integration for reliable long-term archival
