For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO's, and a lot of entertainment media.

Youtube videos. I used to use youtube-dl exclusively, and then that stopped working, and I've gradually been sucked back into just using the website. But there's a text file with a list of URLs I've been meaning to grab for posterity... and it's getting kinda fat.

Perhaps instead of using youtube-dl or yt-dlp, you may enjoy some client such as freetube more, as it has a lot of the benefits of those tools, but without ads, and with sponsorblock/thumbnail correction, and other nice customizations. It also enables you to create playlists and whatnot.

You can hit a button to download directly from a video's page as well, though I think that feature needs some love from the developers (you don't get a loading bar on download).

Latest llama version and instructions for setting it up

I already did.

Probably forums I use to solve problems (stackoverflow and all the stack exchange ones), offline games, guides (for programming, sysadmin, building tables, cooking, travel and repair ones…), documentation for every software and tool I use or might use. Wikipedia is also a must, music too. I have a media server for my music but keeping it up to date with every release is hard work that I haven’t started (yet).

I could honestly just re-watch most of my shows until the end of time.

I will literally never get tired of Bee and Puppycat.

This is basically my answer. I would wish my NAS was more full. I already have a pretty (imo) decent homelab with a lot of shit on it but in a “post internet” situation it would get old after a few months or maybe years depending on how fast I watched/read/listened

So tv/movies/music/books/comics and manga. Just all the media

Grab the whole world, not just where you live, it's not too much space

BBS software. Nerds always find a way. I guess if I have to be a sysop now…

A decent chunk of that is in The Food Lab cookbook.

Nothing.

If the Internet went away, we'd have a little time before batteries were not viable even if replaceable, as distributing those batteries would get problematic.

We would have had no time to withdraw cash as cash, an important thing since banks will fall over at least enough to trigger an economic collapse.

No, we're all gonna need to learn how to fight, and live without hospitals and drugs and probably electricity.

We have bigger problems than ensuring we can look up the capital of Rwanda on this cached Wikipedia while we listen to The Cure.

Good thing portable solar panels & lead-acid batteries exist that can easily power a couple of laptops even if their internal batteries are cooked. Solar panels last for a very long time if cared for, and lead-acid batteries can be (somewhat) useful almost indefinitely if you replace the electrolyte.

No, we’re all gonna need to learn how to fight, and live without hospitals and drugs and probably electricity.

So it would be really handy to have instructions for maintaining or even building weaponry, medical/medicinal literature to find useful herbs or other remedies, and engineering literature/textbooks/software to help us rebuild the electrical grid and then the Internet.

All the extension office university data on plants, agriculture, etc. It’s invaluable info for anyone who grows their own food and deals with bees in relation to that food growth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is there an archive of this kind of data anywhere? I'd love to store this. I've already got a few wikis, including Wikipedia itself, but I'd love more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

It’s individual universities.
