> - cool story. are you living in alaska for fun? While I did enjoy the fun, my primary reason for moving up there was to escape the heat. I have a medical condition that flares up in the heat. There are good temperate places in the USA pacific northwest, but cost of living there was so high that there's no way I could have done it on Salt Lake City based wages. Even just the higher CoL in Alaska was pretty painful. > - also w3m. Hadn't seen this, will check it out :-) > - why don't you git clone everything to your laptop when you have a chance? then keeping it up to date won't be expensive. I definitely did, but we had a ton of services with new ones springing up all the time, so even though I would grab what I could when I could, there was still frequent needs for more. Also git wasn't the worst part, the worst part was downloading docker images (base images and prod images). Since they change regularly, sometimes daily, there was no real way around it.

Even just the higher CoL in Alaska was pretty painful. have you looked into oregon outside of portland? say about 30 to 40 min out? it's not trump country, and it's still cool and not that expensive. i would say cheaper than alaska. same for seattle/WA. for keeping your laptop up to date have you looked deeper into rsync? check out https://fedoramagazine.org/copying-large-files-with-rsync-and-some-misconceptions/ https://fedoramagazine.org/copying-large-files-with-rsync-an.... also you can consider zfs or btrfs as filesystem since they can offer block level sync. not always possible, but this can change things for you big time. good luck.
