Really solid advice.

Going to have to try that remote rebuild, because right now my 10yo T420 takes around an hour to rebuild gitbutler-cli (not yet packaged in NixOS), so that'd be real nice.

I know syncthing has a solid reputation, but I'm a bit reluctant to try it on my home directory (it's super mission critical). Does that interact well with home-manager+SOPS?

Mostly, when I'm away from my workstation, I just connect in from my personal macbook via the "wezterm tmux" feature, since most of what I do is either web or terminal. The need for a "pick up and go" copy is nice but not really necessary. Though in the event my main workstation fails, I should check to see how long an rsync from the restic backup would take. If it takes the better part of a day, that might be compelling to use syncthing, especially as my workstation is a 6+yo laptop.
