I used to travel across the US a lot. On my laptop I started keeping websites, documentation, base container images, source code for Linux, tools I used, and languages I was programming in for references the languages I was using. This wasn't for emergencies, it was so I could work productively while in transit. (I also tuned the hell out of the Linux power settings on my Lenovo)

I hardly travel anymore but still wind up using all of those local resources. It's zero web searches, next to no latency, and I have the structure memorized. Finding information I need is so fast.

I wish it was more popular to have a local-first mindset when writing software.
