#knowledgebomb
Fully offline live-USB (Ubuntu) w/ offline Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, OpenStreetMaps, and other public domain / creative common sources, all running on OSS. Just download and toss it on a USB, then use it as you want. I think it's great for those that have/may-have an intermittent internet connection, want to have an offline way to browse wikipedia, want to put it in a time capsule, are going camping but want educational material, etc.
- angersock 12y agoHah, awesome! I was talking with one of my buddies back from the Peace Corp about making something similar. Good work!
- lowglow 12y agoThis is a pretty decent idea. I wonder if you can build an app for this? I'm not pay for cellular data/voice anymore and would love offline access for a bunch of things like this. https://www.techendo.com/posts/how-i-killed-my-cellphone-plan https://www.techendo.com/posts/how-i-killed-my-cellphone-pla...
- tekknolagi 12y agoThat sounds awesome — kind of like the SMILE project!
