[$] Syncing all the things

Computing devices are wonderful; they surely must be, since so manyof us have so many of them. The proliferation of computers leads directlyto a familiar problem, though: the files we want are always on the wrongmachine. One solution is synchronization services that keep a set of filesup to date across a multitude of machines; a number of companies havecreated successful commercial offerings based on such services. Some ofus, though, are stubbornly resistant to the idea of placing our data in thehands of corporations and their proprietary systems. For those of us whowould rather stay in control of our data, systems like Syncthing offer a possible solution.
