Confirmed it is slop and u can tell from the wording that it is too, all the LLM-isms are obvious. Also there's no usecase where syncthing and chezmoi make sense. The whole point of version control is being able to keep a log of what you changed easily (something syncthing isn't designed for).

Just use a git repo and the templating function if you have secrets. If you want the entire thing to be secret then use a private repo, or self host it.
