Hello,

two of my computers have a similar role as desktop. The installed
packages are nearly the same, the configuration is nearly the same and
the stored data in /home also. Especially the texts, the pictures and
the like require too much time and effort to keep in sync. At first I
wrote a little script that uses the power of rsync. This is much better
than no script at all. But I hope for a solution that automates this
like in those talks from 10-15 years ago when they suggest to use coda.
I would love to use coda but it seems like nobody is maintaining it
since quite some time. What happened in the meantime? What do you guys
use for similar tasks?
Syncthing.

+1 on syncthing

the downside is if you OOPS on one machine there is no retun.

I use syncthing together with LuckyBackup ... I only work with Local Copies, and after vetting then back to the common synced folder.

walk to the other room, copy down the "vetted versions"
*my .thunderbird folder is one of many


Kind regards,
Andrei
