Backups

I use SpiderOak for remote backups for my MacBook Pro and Ubuntu desktop. Doesn't work that well. I'm going to switch to CrashPlan, which is very highly regarded and also has very good storage plans (which makes options like Amazon Glacier and duplicity irrelevant).

I keep certain directories on my MacBook Pro and Hackintosh synchronized using Unison. I thought using cloud-based synchronization (like Google Drive, Dropbox, or SugarSync) was overkill. I investigated GoodSync and Syncables 360, but user reviews were generally poor. (Syncables 360 had the worst Amazon ratings curve I've ever seen.) I also looked at Chronosync, which looked interesting, but without live syncing, did not seem to be a compelling alternative to Unison.

Security

Use WPA-Enterprise (or WPA2-Enterprise) with 802.1X authentication instead of pre-shared key to avoid Firesheep attacks on your network.
