I absolutely love Wikipedia. It has almost replaced a good chunk of my school books back when I was in high school and it is still very useful now that I’m in university. Wikipedia and similar things are a dream that comes true

    For you and anyone else interested, Kiwix can be used to keep an offline copy of Wikipedia (the one I have from a few months ago is 112GB I think for pictures being included) and that way you can rest easy knowing the regime in the USA hasn’t taken down or taken over Wikipedia!

      That might be really useful. Thank you for sharing such an useful resource! It might also be useful to all the people who live in countries where the internet is expensive or hardly accessible

        I’m glad I was able to help some! I just want to say that Kiwix can be self-hosted too! I have it running on my TrueNAS Scale setup, and it works very well! :)
