Tbh I agree with almost every word there, but I can't believe this OS would be of any help in such a situation.
In dusk of our civilization it will not be possible to boot this OS from any modern computer. Those things nowadays don't even have CD. everything is dependent on internet, our data is being disowned by us and put into cloud. In case of broken internet the knowledge is going to be lost.
And how we're going to connect to this site using http? Via dialup?
- GTP 1y agoI think the idea would be to prepare beforehand and have your own copy, alongside your own Wikipedia dump.
- etskinner 1y agoYou don't need a CD drive to boot an OS. A humble USB stick does the trick. And nearly every computer made in the last 10 years has a USB port and the ability to boot from it
- p0w3n3d 1y agoSometimes it's only usb c. But... We're speaking about dusk of civilization. Pendrive don't live as long as CDs
- BenjiWiebe 1y agoI have a stack of CD drives. I'll trade you one for food and medications.
