I’ve always managed this problem in a different way. I don’t know if my way is better, but it works really well for me. I treat my powerful desktop computer as my main machine. Then I have a bunch of laptops. Then I just rsync my entire home directory out to all the laptops. From there. The rule is quite simple. Any file created on a laptop are considered ephemeral. If I create data that I have to keep. It gets rsynced back the other direction to the main machine. This process has served me well for at least 15 years now and is supported by a small handful of shell scripts to automate this process | ||

Interesting. I go about this differently. I have one master setting and from there ruby just autogenerates anything I'd ever need on other computers. If ruby is unavailable then I just copy the generated files. But I only edit the master setting to enable what I need. > This process has served me well for at least 15 years now and is supported by a small handful of shell scripts to automate this process I feel in a similar way but not with shell scripts. Ruby autogenerates them if I need them too. Ruby is my ultimate glue to hold together everything. | ||
