rclone can back up your home folder to almost any cloud storage (I use Jottacloud). The trick is excluding everything that is a cache, can be regenerated, or is synced elsewhere already, which on a Mac used for development is a lot.
Must have apps
As we all know, Macs come with relatively small storage space, so we need to keep cleaning up files periodically. Especially when doing software development, which adds up a lot of cache files around the system.
Commands I keep coming back to for video and photos. Install the tools with brew install ffmpeg imagemagick exiftool (the stabilizing scripts need a different ffmpeg).
