I suggest add:

  http://www.networkupstools.org
    NUT S/W to run your UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies, etc)
    I run mine on on FreeBSD, but it runs on all BSD & Linux etc)

  https://www.mapfactor.com/en/
    Android, Apple iOS & MS etc
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapfactor.navigator
    GPS app runs on pre downloaded maps, no need of net.
    See column 3 for which don't need data via SIM ID, billing, tracking:
      http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/android/maps.html

Avoid Google eg map app & services, needing frequent net connection
for them to purloin user data to feed ads.
  ( USA Gov. are long overdue to break up fined monopolist abuser Google
  http://www.berklix.com/search/#google
  Google block mail to @gmail @googlemail etc, until they extort unpaid
  admin time from sender sites to install SPF DKIM for google profit. )

Live net dependent services eg svn & git etc over ssh protocol etc,
will be impacted by outages.  Alternatives exist needing just
intermittent SMTP, eg its still possible to receive FreeBSD source
code repository updates by email http://ctm.berklix.org

If Linux people want to adopt CTM code too, welcome its public.

Cheers,
