Re: [O] Favorite way of syncing?

[Tory S. Anderson]

At the moment I'm using a self-hosted OwnCloud to do syncing; it's 
super easy (takes care of itself), but sometimes conflicts are a 
problem (particularly when I forget to save my buffers before 
leaving work); if you notice it, though, it provides a conflict 
version (and has automatic versioning a la Dropbox).
