Yesterday (well, within the past 24 hours), I started using a private
repository on Github to sync-ish my *nix rc and config files.
Previously I'd been using G Drive via the great tool gdrive to do the
same thing. The problem is gdrive was somewhat recently removed from
G's trusted apps or something. Basically I need an oauth token for my
newest PC that is inaccessible because G says it doesn't trust the app
anymore. Thanks, G.

So I was reading on some glog about git version control and I thought
even though I'm not using it for some project, per se, it would be
great for what little storage text config files would take up. I'm not
sure if Github has a storage limit, but I'm pretty sure I can't backup
all my movies there for free. Non-sarcastic thanks, G.

The biggest annoyance right now is that I have to keep typing in my
username and password each time I push. Yes, I know there's a way
around that with SSH keypairs. I just haven't bothered to do it quite
yet. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with it as it seems a slightly more
verbose and maintainable way of keeping my configs up-to-date without
overwriting the same G Drive file and hoping it's the most recent.

Also I have probably too many PCs: a desktop video-conversion
workstation, a main laptop, a good 2-in-1 (my most recent addition),
and a terrible 2-in-1 that has 2GB RAM and has issues with the NIC
connecting and the idiots at SquareTrade that stuffed an LCD/LED
screen into a housing that couldn't fit it and thus makes the damn
case bulge and unsnap on the right-hand side. Of course I was the
idiot that dropped a heavy tablet on the crap 2-in-1 that broke the
screen in the first place.

I should add that the desktop is now my only active PC with Windows on
it. MakeMKV's caption extraction integration has made DVDDecrypter all
but obsolete. I still want one machine with it just in case I need it
for work. It hasn't come up yet, but to use their VPN I need to use
Citrix and that hasn't been working on my main laptop. Also I'm pretty
sure my Mint install on that is screwed because I'm getting warnings
about missing fonts and I can't compile dwm and a few other things. I
may end up replacing it with a server edition and installing X11 and
dwm afterwards, but I'm too much of a n00b to feel confident deleting
a mostly-working install and replacing it with something that will
probably cause a bunch of new headaches.
