I just consider my machines disposable. It has saved me a ton of heartache over the years.

I have a git repo with some dotfiles and setup scripts - dotbot configures my user, Ansible configures my system.

Most files go in a self hosted Nextcloud sync folder. If it is larger it goes on a file share.

Anything else is simply forgotten. I can rebuilt in ~ 5 minutes after a clean install. I can keep multiple machines in sync like this as well.
