Two years of using nearly exclusively offpunk without ever trimming the cache:
2.5G gemini
1.3G gopher
1.5G http
23G https
With the exception of dynamic webpages, every single page I’ve read in those two years is there. With pictures. And with every single page linked by those webpages. And all the pages linked on HN.
- alchemist1e9 3y agoThat’s very awesome and by itself a compelling argument for one to consider adopting offpunk. I’d imagine putting the archive in git repo with annex/lfs and along with builtin time-stamping it means an activity archive also. Lot’s of interesting use cases if combined with LLMs and RAG for example. “A few weeks ago I was researching technology XYZ and there was an open source python package that looked neat, but I can’t remember what it was. Could you use my browsing cache and prepare a report on what I was reading about and summarize it please?”
- ploum 3y agoI already do that sort of thing with grep and find in the cache folder. Managed to find many things that way. It should be said that the cache doesn’t have any versioning. When a new version is downloaded for a file, it replaces the old one. That’s also why the cached date is displayed in the title of the page in Offpunk
