Comment on Show HN: 5 Years Ago I made the Recovery Kit, I just made the RK2

Comments

I get the cyberdeck naming, but why is this called a "Recovery Kit"? What's being recovered? Never really talks about use cases. Just a cool way to get online on the go?

The original article [1], from 2019, briefly explains the concept:

Building Internet-connected things seems obvious today, but what about when there’s no Internet?
The concept often feels like something out of a science fiction movie or a doomsday prepper’s handbook- and while this device can work in both scenarios, it’s also about understanding resiliency for your projects and being a good steward of the systems in place today.

From the title alone, my first guess was that it was for hangovers
