Building a digital life/workflow around local-first/offline has it's difficulties, but it's nice that when a big-tech site goes down, my work, my services, and tools were uninterrupted. The way it used to be before it became normal to hand over our tools to big tech. This is especially satisfying if the ISP goes down or with battery backups (or generators) when the power goes out. I was completely oblivious to GitHub being down today but I was getting messages about it.

the more interesting part is that it works when my ISP is down, I can keep my data forever and I can run absurd queries against them
XD That's a fun thing too. I can get bored and start rearranging my data, compressing things, renaming and so on
