Just chipping into say that I sync all the files mentioned in this thread through Syncthing, between multiple Emacs sessions that run 24/7 on different machines. Since Syncthing watches for inode changes and is pretty speedy, I've never run into discrepancy problems between the various newsrc.eld files and so on. To be safe, though, I usually do quit Gnus and load it again when I'm sitting down at another computer. -g -- "We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute."
