Ask HN: Top repos you'd want offline on a desert island?

2 points by quijoteuniv 3 days ago · 5 comments · 1 min read


You’ve got electricity, servers, and machine & food, just no internet. Which repos do you bring (top 3,5,10?), and why?

Instead of listing them I would generalize as:

- Repositories that contain interesting stories, thought exercises, puzzles, sound generators.

- I would also bring archived self help documents on building survival shelters, hunting, trapping, fishing, cooking, making hunter-gatherer weapons, surviving tropical hurricanes, understanding where this magical electricity on this island is coming from or "lifting the veil" so to speak.

* Node.js

* Docker

* Jellyfin

* VS Code

* my media collection

* my personal application that I am currently working on

That’s it. I have deployed to CENTCOM 5 times, not quite 5 years living in technology isolation in the desert, so I know this experience extremely well already.
