Chronosync slow4/19/2023 ![]() Though ChronoSync is a dream, my system was still mildly awkward - heaven help me if I forget to sync before leaving one machine, or before starting to use the other. ![]() For the last several years, I’ve been using ChronoSync to synchronize data between my home machine and my USB drive, and then between my USB drive and my office machine, and so forth.

The problem is, though, that I’m far too stupid to be able to remember as many passwords as I’d need to keep things really secure. ![]() This summer, for a whole series of reasons, I found myself getting a little paranoid about data security, and it suddenly occurred to me that not only had I not changed my primary passwords recently enough, but that I was reusing passwords in far too many places.
