Lots of cool stuff in here. I’m going to have a long look at Restic and Syncthing.

I’d like to know why Skim instead of FZF. They are pretty similar but I’ve been using the latter for years and would like to know of any possible advantages to it.

There's a lot of these pickers and they are indeed similar. I've been using https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy since it's not fullscreen and has a really good matching algorithm.

fzy is cool and probably underrated. It's the preferred fuzzy utility for file manager nnn too.

i loooove syncthing. something i set up recently is a folder called .home_sync to sync my dotfiles between computers. I have a bash script that sets up the symlinks and then version control turned on for the syncthing folder so i can have a record of any changes if I need to revert something

I've tried both Skim and fzf, and in my experience fzf has a much better fuzzy matching algorithm so that's what I'd recommend using. Plus it supports true color configuration fwiw.
