This seems to geared towars "content goes down" scenarios, rather than "reader is temporarily offline".

It's a concern I have every time I find a particularly interesting independently hosted blog post or article.

The Internet Archive goes a long way towards making me worry about this less, though. (Let's just hope they don't go away!)

It's both. Not great for suddenly offline, as you need it on all the time and it is slow. But if you can plan it like, you're going in a mine, or spaceship or airplane, or the bush, or an alien attack or whatever... and you need offline to keep reading, then this works.

You can have archives from x day or x week or whatever, organized yourself, versioned with git, as you like, to save web content through version changes, removal or vanishing.
