>Borg ... fantastic
I needed to temporarily move off 20TB from my NAS and bought a Hetzner storage box.
I wanted to encrypt the data before sending it so i went with the borg ssh mount. Long story short, borg failed a couple of times due to https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/7672, i resumed it per documentation and got 2gb of silently corrupted data. There was no way to do data integrity checks due to broken pipes and there was no option to resume the job from the previous point either. I couldn't afford to go with the s3, backblaze wasn't an option due to placing trust into their proprietary client doing the encryption and i got majorly screwed in the end.

I manage my dotfiles with yadm, which supports "alternate files" keyed on things like OS. So instead of one .zshrc, I actually have .zshrc##os.Darwin and .zshrc##os.Linux, and yadm symlinks the right one to .zshrc depending on the machine. Both of those source a third file, .zshrc_shared, which holds everything that doesn't care what kernel it's running on. Same setup applies to the keychain script above.
