Agreed, but these are planned events where you won't have connectivity, so you can copy the files to a local folder prior to the trip. I recognize that might not be as convenient as having the system perform a push to your machine to sync it. I think in those cases I'd probably just run rsync against the keybase folder.
I know that in a day where I have to produce a live show, write a raft of code, negotiate a new job offer, and take my dog to the vet, I want to remember to copy files to a local folder.
No, wait.
I want my computer to do scutwork for me instead because that's its job.
Planned events in one sense, but routine daily life for those in NYC, or unplanned events in cases where airplanes unexpectedly lose WiFi. Among other examples.
You're describing useful workarounds for the status quo when one can foresee dealing with these situations occasionally. Those are certainly good to document.
But they're workarounds and not true solutions, especially not for frequent needs.
