spamassassin and greylisting. The later takes care of 99% of the junk on my server. By the time spamassassin, and the Bayesian filtering in Thunderbird have done their job, there's nothing left. I get less spam on my own server than I see on Gmail.

Are you astroturfing, or really that naive? Just because you don't pay in a currency you recognize, does not mean that any of the web-mail services (or other "cloud services") are for free.
As for protecting your data, in the end it comes down to trust, which is your personal choice. Here are only some of the known cases where gmail is somehow mentioned in a C&D or subpoena process. There's plenty of other vectors by which somebody can get to your data. In addition, all the major provides have had their share of failures, including loss of data. Of course, spread across the number of users, it is a small chance of it happening to you. However, if it does, nobody cares.
Personally, I trust myself more in the ability to operate my own e-mail server, and provide the security and features I need. Although professional providers might be better in some aspects, like reliability, the trade-off is just not worth it to me.
It seems like the poster confuses two tasks: Backup and version control.
For the former, use archiving tools to perform full and incremental backup. How is it done? You could use find to list files with certain criteria, e.g. last modified timestamps. Pass that list to using the -T flag, where you also use -X to exclude files and directories like "*/.thumbnails" and "*/.[cC]ache*". Once the tar is done, use your favourite checksum tool; md5sum, shasum to store a checksum of the archive in a separate file. Once you get home, move the archives, verify the checksums, and you're done.
As pointed out in the summary, deleted directories and files will be an issue, thus, you perform full back from time to time. The time frame will depend on how big the changes are, and how much data you have. Personally, I've settled on every second week for/home, but that does not include huge files like RAW files from a DSLR.
As for version control, set up your own git repository with git init, copy it to the laptop with git clone, and you're ready to go. Pro tip: Make sure you name your home computer with a real or "fake" DNS (e.g. in/etc/hosts, or ~/ssh/config). You can then simply refer to it has "home" where ever you are, and tools like git and svn stay happy.
Mod parent up! Got the same model, and spec'ed up the RAM and CPU. Very happy with it, and expect to have this one for many years to come. The keyboard and numpad is full size, just as your desktop keyboard.
And let's not forget the most important bit: This is a high quality laptop completely void of anything Microsoft. Installed with Ubuntu from the shop.
If you want to compare physical dimensions, weight, the Lenovo Edge E520 is probably the closest match. However, as far as I know, you cannot spec that up to the same extent as the Pangolin Performance.
Either way; when the troll or flame bait is that obvious, isn't better to just ignore it and let it be filtered away? It's not like your contribution adds anything to the discussion.
The Gardena T 1030 automated watering system uses a modern form of a punch card to program its schedule. It is rather clever in that the hard plastic "card" has small plastic sliders which cover the appropriate holes for the desired settings (e.g. watering at 6am, every second day, for 5 minutes). When put into the small machine, it's read optically (AFAIK).

How are them TPS reports coming along? Oh, and did you get the memo about the new front page sheet? :-p
