Ask HN: How do you sync your computers development configurations/environment?
- two servers (a raspberrypi in my closet and a Hetzner vps)
I keep my config on Github (latest branch https://github.com/alexghr/nix/tree/host/vader). I'm still new to this so a lot of my config is duplicated across different hosts but I want to refactor it to eliminate duplication.
If you haven't yet, I'd recommend giving Nix/NixOS a try. There's a bit of a learning curve but it's very powerful.

Ask HN: How to Automate iPhone Setup?

PS I know about iCloud backup, but that’s not exactly what I want.
