Currently? Just unison -quiet, running from cron. (I have it wrapped in a script that does locking, since Unison doesn't seem to lock against itself reliably, for reasons I don't understand.) I've had two problems worth watching out for:
1) Try to avoid running it against NFS. It walks the entire synced area every time you sync. Local disk will be two orders of magnitude faster.
2) Be careful syncing between case-sensitive and case-insensitive filesystems. Unison will start failing out if you ever create two files differing only in case.

Beyond that, I'm looking to start using git to version both my code and my textual data. I'm not intending to use git itself to sync the repositories; I'm going to use it for versioning only, and keep syncing using Unison. The reason is because I'm the only user, and for my own convenience I'd like the working copy to be synced. All I really need out of git is versioning anyway; I already have a workable solution for syncing.

From the summary (you didn't even have to RTA): "mechanical exoskeleton"

If you own something then you can sell it.

This right here, ladies and gentlemen. This is the cancer that's killing /b/^H^H^H America.

Once a term used to suggest something cheap or inferior, shanzhai now suggests to many a certain Chinese cleverness and ingenuity. Shanzhai culture "is from the grass roots and for the grass roots," says Han Haoyue, a media critic in Beijing, who sees it as a means of self-expression.

Sounds to me like "hack" or "hacker".

I almost feel like whoever at NASA picked the poll options must have been a Firefly fan. Of the four choices, "Serenity" is really the only one that goes well with the existing two names, even to a normal person who's never heard of Firefly.

Don't waste a response on this, but maybe you should look into asking Slashdot to give you a no-flood-control bit. If they don't have one they really should. Anybody who's famous enough to be responding to comments on an article can probably be trusted not to spam the site; and it would be nice if those people could do so without having to worry about getting blocked. (I'm thinking also of NewYorkCountryLawyer here, who probably runs into the same problem.)

Seriously, nothing to see here. This is truly an embarrassment to Slashdot (if that's even possible). Just move along.

Wow. Has "KDE doesn't need users" been a Slashdot story yet? I know it's out of date, but really, that deserves some exposure...

For anyone who's too lazy to search for it, the specific issue is on lines 259-274. (That would of course be in the "loop forever on leap day" function. ;-)

Before the bile starts pouring in, let's take a moment to thank the FCC for having a suddenoutbreakofcommonsense. That they listened is nothing short of incredible, and we should savor this moment and reward them for it, before we start tearing down the proposal for everything _else_ we each think is wrong with it. :-)

Replying to cancel accidental moderation. :-\
