Just pertains to the internet, not computers as a whole. Like an offline version of wikipedia, favorite albums/movies/books. Any other ideas?
Offline wipideia, maps, dictionaries and study material in at least japanese and Norwegian, and every how-to video on farming, bikes, cars, tractos, home repair, and carpentry I could get my hands on. I actually prefer books for some things, but reading japanese is such a slog for me, having them in English would save a lot of time.
Maps and navigation. Human-to-human communication could still happen via phone call. But navigation is absolutely required now. I remember having to drive places with a simple map and it sucked.
I’ve got a collection already downloaded using Kiwix on an old Android tablet’s storage card.
Wikipedia, a metric ton of books from Project Gutenberg, Medwiki and other medical books, stuff on homesteading, the last edition if the CIA factbook.
I can edit after I get home from work with a more complete list. Basically, I scrolled through Kiwix and grabbed what looked useful if I didn’t have internet.
Archive.org has archived an awful lot of websites and other data, including Wikipedia. If I had to take just one website, I’d take that one.
The equivalent to “infinity wishes”. Love it.
I already have 30 G of music, lots of TV series and movies, and all my own pictures plus a bunch of interesting ones from the internet. I also have a bunch of ebooks covering various topics including software development tech, wilderness survival, and bushcraft/homestead tutorials. I’d say I already have everything I’d take from the internet.
I’ve never been one to rely on the internet being available. If something is important to me, I save it just in case. Periodically I review what I have and purge what no longer matters.
The internet is not bad. The internet is not 5 websites. The old internet never went away. IRC never went away. Tildeverse is a thing. Gemini is a thing.
I like the idea of gemini. But at the same time, plain html is not so bad? If all you want is text and links, we can do this with html too right? Maybe browser complexity is the issue? With a simple text-only browser a web page would just be text. Most modern sites wouldn’t work, but… that’s the point I guess.
No its not its just covered in my old internet statement. My point is the web is not the internet and web 2.0 is not the web. Webrings can still be a thing. A new protocol can be created tomorrow that learns from the lessons of corporate capture and builds a defense against it.
maybe just avoid the social media sites.
As much music as I can
Well, porn, of course.
Already mentioned in OP, but a copy of Wikipedia would be first priority.
To say something else, I’d also grab the archive of GameFAQs guides.
Music and games. I’d be looking at GoG game installs.
Annas archive…
Anna’s archive does not host files itself but links to third party downloads. So without the internet it would be useless.
anna’s archive’s archive! (I wonder how many tb or pb that would be? same with the internet archive.)
The source files for Annas Archive seem to be around 1900 TB.
hell yeah.
Shrek
Recipes! I gotta do something with the long winded conversations!
I have most of what I need/want outside of the Internet (books, newspapers, people to discuss with, places to go,… even my music and movies are physical media/offline). I would get back a tad more free time, I guess which would probably be great ;)
