+1 to this; Time spent on your setup is an important factor too.

The more important your data is, the more time you are going to need to spend maintaining your system to ensure security, backups and fail-overs. Not everyone has luxurious amount of time to spend on their home-lab everyday.

I replaced rm with trash-put, just in case I realize I need some files that I removed down the line.

alias rm='trash-put'

Official author don’t recommend it due to different semantics. But honestly for my own personal use case its fine for me.

Also I like to alias xclip:

alias clippy='xclip -selection clipboard'

# cat things.txt | clippy
