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.

Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

What makes you think I didn't already download everything I want?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing, I never said any such thing. In your case your answer to my question would be "I would not have to wish, because I already downloaded everything I want". This makes you wise.

That's a much classier way of calling someone a digital hoarder :)

Opera videos.

Not to be confused with Times Square

A distilled DeepSeek R1 model.

Wikipedia would be the most valuable thing if I had to pick one, I guess.

An maybe the "your jimmies are eternal video" in case I need to unrustle my jimmie ever again.

Arch wiki with arch man docs.

annas-archive.org, arxiv.org, and maybe internet archive too if possible

Honestly, I think I'm mostly set already (as I often go backpacking and there's no internet there). I have offline maps for the country I'm in and neighboring regions downloaded in OsmAnd and mapy.cz (two sources just in case), Wikipedia in Kiwix, and my custom NixOS setup as a bootable ISO on a flashdrive. I'll probably miss being able to watch science/maths edutainment on YouTube, but it's not something I'd download.

Today I learned I'm unintentionally preparing for the Internet apocalypse.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I already did.

Can't believe I'm the first to say this, but... porn.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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).

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

yt-dlp still works!

Definitely entertainment, but beyond that, Networking classes so that I can hack together a intranet for my household and the neighbourhood

Not too hard with a single server as your node and everyone being wired into it. Obviously you would have to code every website and have all required dependencies there already.

Having the whole wikipedia would get you a damn good start to getting back to civilization.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Only as good as you know about the topic, try doing a http server from just a Wikipedia page

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

The Gutenberg Project, as well as those free online classes for things.
