Syncthing is also a good idea. The major difference: syncthing is a 
permanently running daemon, so changes are synced very fast (the interval is 
configurable, IIRC). OTOH, Unison is run individually by you. That’s why I 
prefer the latter: in case I broke some file on my machine, I can get it 
back from another machine without having to break out the backup disk (which 
may not even have what I need because my backup interval is too big).

I have seen things you lusers would not believe.
I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab.
I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate.
All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last week.
Time to die.
