recently i lost internet connection at home for about a week. forced me to remember some ways to work offline

copy files over ssh with scp (do this pretty often even when internet is working

scp file [email protected]:./path/

git push and pull to other computers on same network

git remote add git push

copy docker images to and from other machines

on one machine, save image to tar file

docker save -o streampusher.tar streampusher/streampusher:latest

scp to the other machine

scp streampusher.tar [email protected]:./src/streampusher-api

on other machine, load image

docker load -i streampusher.tar

(note this doesn't work if the machines have different CPU architectures)

! rails The requested image's platform (linux/arm64/v8) does not match the detected host platform (linu x/amd64/v4) and no specific platform was requested 0.0s

You can build a docker image for another architecture with this flag --platform linux/amd64

use pnpm

pnpm caches every package locally for fast installs, also making it work great offline.

Other than that when I really need to download something I can tether my phone's rather poor connection or drive to the library parking lot.
