How Dropbox Hacks Your Mac

Great article, but poor conclusion. He finds that Dropbox is untrustworthy, a finding that likely surprises no one, and reaches for iCloud as the solution. Why move into another walled garden driven by corporate interests? OwnCloud or a similar self hosted solution would be better. I just use NFS and a dead simple storage server to make ~/shared available on all of my machines.

What happens when you take a laptop to another network?

Everything freaks out, unfortunately. I would work on a better solution, but I'm not particularly inconvenienced by this issue.

Isn't a bit naive to think that your solution, which has obvious flaws is one-size-fits-all?

I use cloud storage (e.g.) have access to my password file between my computers and my mobile devices. NFS shares on ~/share that only work on the local network don't really solve this issue.

Did I say it was a one-size-fits-all, or that it was flawless? I also suggested OwnCloud before describing my own setup. All of your software choices come with tradeoffs.

For my passwords I use pass and store them in a private git repo on a server I trust. http://password-store.org
