- myself248 5y agoThat's the use-case I set mine up for, just for fun. Unplug my cable modem and see how long I can still be productive. With a local copy of most StackOverflow sites and Wikipedia, I'm pretty well equipped for a certain set of problems. Next up, I need to figure out how to wield the various github-mirror-an-entire-org scripts I've found, to keep a local copy of Adafruit's github, since their code and libraries power a lot of the hardware I have sitting around. And then maybe a mirror of Seeed Studio's wiki and whatever else I can find. then this: https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2018/01/off-grid-raspbian-repositories.html https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2018/01/off-grid-raspbian-... but I'll need to add more disk space.

- Scoundreller 5y agoOn Kiwix, the entire english Wikipedia with images but not videos is 90gb. 6.3m articles. You can pick and choose categories to some degree (e.g. I’m downloading some to get the videos as well), but I think this leads to some redundancy. 134gb for stackoverflow, but it's from 2019.

There are torrent links here: https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content_in_all_languages https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content_in_all_languages but I think in iOS, you're stuck downloading over http.
