Best practice for multiple-client use keys

[Emil Lundberg]

I too use Syncthing to sync the key store, but not the keys. Instead I 
have my PGP keys on a YubiKey, so I just need to plug in the YubiKey 
whenever I need to decrypt a secret and I can safely use the same key on 
all my clients (because I'm not copying the private key, just moving the 
smart card). It takes a bit of effort to properly set up a GPG smart 
card without making it impossible to create backups of your master key 
and encryption keys, but there are good guides for that available online.
