Just think, a AAA modern game is over 100 gigs and yet the entire Wikipedia is only 109GB!!!

It's getting more important for people to collectively start saving as much information as possible, in bulk, than ever before. I very recently just had a look at my KZfaq playlists and rediscovered one I made during Covid times called "important historical context" which would have been filled with videos of certain political developments. ALL of the videos in that playlist were removed from KZfaq. All of them. The scary thing is, while we now have the "easiest" way to access information, the ministry of truth also now has the easiest way to curate and re-write history.

Next project fitting the entire internet on a 1.5 TB sandisk mini SD card.

MOM?! WHERE DID YOU PUT MY INTERNET?!

This video, like many others, created an overwhelming feeling along the lines of, "oh my gosh of course, he's right. I need to save at LEAST the survival information, then everything else in rank of importance". Something like that. It urges me to start prepping again. Which honestly is probably something like trying to create a safety to cope with the anxiety. But you know what, friends, I realized that even if SHTF as big and as hard as some of us prep for, I'm okay with probably dying. I mean I would give it my all, there certainly would be a lot of stress and pain. And in that scenario, most preppers would say going into it unprepared will likely spell demise. And they're probably right. But that's okay. I recently was blessed to be able to somehow manage to put money down and start paying mortgage on a house (escape the rent trap am I right?) and over several months of living @ the new crib I realized it really is a house of cards. Between the chaos in government, ambitions of larry fink and the 1%er's, natural disasters, changes in economy, being stretched thin financially, almost getting laid off at work, fire, flood, powerful HOA's (mine is pretty chill TG), family stresses etc etc, you quickly realize that literally anything and everything can take you down and lose you everything you've ever worked for. Life can wipe you out in more ways than you can imagine. We can certainly insure ourselves against common things and we do, but we can never prep for it all. Even if we had the most hunk of a bunker we could walk outside tomorrow, and tree branch falls on us and we get the speed nap. Make your home a home, that is, make it comfortable. But damn we've got to live our lives and not create suffering for ourselves by worrying about whether or not we have the head knowledge to find and make kindling in apocalyptic urban setting #2. ~an exaggeration that goes way beyond what this video even touches just to make a point written by a guy that will probably die someday. sorry to be so serious but hoping this posture helps someone like it helps me.

You forgot the most important piece of the internet! Stack Overflow.

Literally what the guy in half life Alyx did

Me: "Mom, can we have Internet?" Mom: "We have Internet at home" Internet at home:

dude, this is such a good idea!! you should expand on this. come up with a whole doomsday essentials pack - not just wiki, but also books, etc. key resources to survive and thrive

internet archive is another cool place to download stuff

what about out of copyright books? project gutenberg type stuff? Store an entire library of stuff to read, that would be awesome

Local mapping data is such a godsend. Years ago we were crossing from argentina to chile through a small crossing in northern san juan, middle of the mountains aka no internet and no phobe signal, OSM was super useful for navigation :D

I have a Boox Palma and bought a 1 Tb micro SD card. I’ve got almost all of what Kiwix offers, my entire state maps downloaded, and numerous videos, documents, books, libraries, etc. All of this in an e-reader the size of a smartphone with a battery that can last weeks, if used sparingly. It’s a pretty cool setup.

Hmm.. only 109GB for Wikipedia? I'll add that to todo list for my server. That would have been helpful back in early 2000s when I had slow Internet and doing school work.. lol 😅

"Internet's most important resources: Arch Linux Documentation." What am I going to do with Arch Linux if the world's internet disappears lol. I think at that point there will be more important things to worry about. "Okay, all the cities are in shambles.. i'm starving.. I'm cold.. I've got it, let me grab my localized Arch Linux docs. At least I won't have a peasent operating system like Ubuntu."

perfect application for my 6W TDP N100 Proxmox sever running on solar power

You'd better shield that NAS from magnetic pulse/solar flare events or it will be wiped/fried. You MUST GROUND YOUR SHIELD (screen or copper metal fabric) !!!

Also a good reason: protecting your children from the internet by just providing an offline version of wikipedia and so on so they can still research for school projects etc. And then adding whichever other sources they need manually later.

This reminds me of that IT Crowd episode where they convince people the internet is in a black box.

This is the best! So glad I subscribed to this channel! Not sure if I can afford my little bits of the internet.

It's a nice to know that wikipedia is small enough for anybody to make a backup of.

Love it, awsome knowledge and content. Thank you for the share.

What a neat concept! I'd heard of Kiwix before but didn't realize what you could do with it. Cool that you can load mapping data too.

This is the best tech channel ive seen and im still subscribed

I think that a GPT-4 trained model (a recent version of it got leaked, so it's widely available if you search) would be an excellent addition! Besides being trained into the larger context of today's Internet, it's "knowledge" is stored into the trained model, so theoretically you wouldn't need Wikipedia (although I REALLY recommend it).

I already do this with a series of XHDD's. Toshiba and Seagate sell reliable hardware at a [mostly] decent price. Every time they knock the price down to 100 USD i grab one of the 4TB drives and fill it up. Between work software (IDE's mostly), movies, shows, music & games, archived websites and internet videos; ive got enough entertainment to out last the apocalypse!

Being a Venezuelan, I totally understand you and backup your actions. Thanks you very much for sharing your expertise with those of us who may need it in the future. (God forbid it though, because that would mean the SHTF).

Tomorrow I will download the internet, and then cut the cable! Take that, ISP!

This has been something I've been planning to do for a long time but wasn't quite sure how. I really wanted to build a sort of STC (Standard Template Construct) server for myself if basically everything went to shit. Thanks very much! I'll be setting this up ASAP! :)

Dude, I'm so proud of you. 198,000 subscribers? Crazy. Keep killing it dude. from Warpiggies, to techhut.

Oh so very cool, this would be a very good VM for me to try thanks so much for a great video!!

Hi , sorry for the of topic. I would advise to turn down the fill ligh by about 2 stops. So there will be more volume. Used to work as second DP , or as a gaffer in cinema production for almost a decade . Best wishes

For some reason I love watching videos about setting up servers and networks.

This is actually a great idea. Similar to having a library of information in your private collection.

Thanks again. My idea of a nas is plugging an external drive into the CASA server

They need to make a Vault (or even multiple) for the internet like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The main purpose would be for re-uploading in the event of unforeseen events causing the internet to go offline, such as major Solar Storms if they are ever to occur!

Love this 😮

I love where you’re going with this… for some of us.. Web 3.0 being decentralized… if you think about it… initially we all were decentralized before off the cloud. ☺️ I see that becoming a thing again. Loved the video.

The investigative reporter - Whitney Webb - highly recommended people doing this type of thing.She predicted (based on evidence she found) that there is a plan in place to take down the internet (and later do a "3.0 reboot of it ) to aid in forcing everyone on CBDCs and massive censorship / blocking access to certain information. Although, I think the option featured here is more sophisticated than what she had in mind for grabbing stuff off the internet.

Wow, great h/w specs!

I was going to back green, but I'm concerned that the software will either have my data hit their server or they will somehow have access to the data. I wanted it for work but can't risk client data confidentiality.

Need this! Especially I have a raspberry pi tower sever along Raspberry Pi 3 client.

Time to archive the internet archive

Thanks now my bunker is complete.

Good video!

I've been downloading my vidoes. and PDF's in my collection but this is next level!

Honestly if space travel ever becomes more mainstream each ship is going to need its own ‘internet’ that can be updated when a connection is available.

Born and raised in Sunnyside, WA! Spent my life bouncing around the West but mostly WA and AZ. Thank goodness, projects like this mean that society will be much easier to restart if, God forbid, the worst case scenario does occur.

Out of curiosity. noticed you are using Edge on Linux ... is the hardware decoding working for you on the browser, vp9, h.264 and av1 or is it using CPU when watching videos, like on KZfaq?

Remind me of the good old days when I coded our website such, that when a certain file was being downloaded, a box opened with “Downloading Internet”. And then the counter going from 0 towards millions of gigabytes. This was in the dial up era, and almost everybody cancelled the download.

This is unironically the best present for Mother’s Day. Hell yeah

I have self hosted many things, but not yet the Internet

Did you install Proxmox on the UGreen NAS?

TY very valuable

Better idea. Wifi or Bluetooth compressed file data sharing that connects automatically to multiple people. Maybe 2 other devices or more. Theres a similar idea in bluetooth walkie talkies, but no one has been able to get it to work well

Great youtuber on the Internet 😊

Remember that scene from the IT Crowd where Roy ans Mos hand over Jane "the Internet"? This right here is a member of the elders of the internet.

The absolute muscle memory of clicking the word trains.

Curiously, today at work I needed to do something like this and I think the best option is wget with --mirror --convert-links and other flags

Wow! So cool!

7:50 lmao the notification got me

Next video get a list of github project to backup along side, for linux enthusiasts, hackers and anything useful that is on github that has to be there on an old hdd. I will be using 1 Tb old sshd for this, no nas or anything facy just putting something to work. Any tips and tricks to do with that are welcome follow :) #theendisnear

The innernette now available on a set of 12 compact discs order now

Perfect for meshnet

Totally doing this

Always thought about doing this

Wouldnt be better to use NFS for the storage?

This takes me back to the IT Crowd where they convince Jen that the internet is just a black box with a flashing LED on it.

Super YT channel 👍💪 Yet another UGreen NAS promo? Yikes! Kindest regards, neighbours and friends.

The internets most important resources "what is mewing and how do you do it?" 🤨

Jellyfin is another great option to put into this

Every company should store there sites everyday on a hard drive and then have a second feed source like satellite land line and signal so it stays active no matter what happens

Currently downloading youtube.

I really like this idea, especially since, and correct me if I'm wrong, more and more internet resources are now being locked behind paywalls and subscriptions

Much simpler than hosting a tile server is to use cruiser (available on aur) and just have the files available for use offline.

i wish i had a sponsor to think like u

this reminds me of the guy that begged us to buy bitcoin in 2012

Do you have any recommendations for more time tested equipment? I’m not doing all that and putting it on a kickstarter product ESPECIALLY when they have that weird software lol.

I am so happy the elders of the internet finally entrusted you with it, don't drop it

Wikipedia is just a good start for research, but, it's not a credible source. I just want to put my ISO Linux, games, and movies on my NAS.

Jen, this is THE INTERNET!!!

How do you keep the kiwix data updated?

what about having endless os as a liveboot flashdrive?

so, it's limited to Kiwix right now? any other source platforms like that? or self-hosted scraping+compression maybe?

Idea: Have a collection of the offline installers for all the most important softwares aswell as iso files for various operating systems

you look exactly what you sound like, and you look exactly like someone who would do this i'm genuinely impressed good video

Already had this in mind for over 10 years but it's expensive. All movies TV shows and games id want during the apocalypse.

plenty of times ive needed offline mapping because I was out of range of cellular or in a hole that wasn't covered by cell service.

Honestly I would do this for peace of mind. Just knowing when it’s offline the knowledge it can no longer be messed with negatively. Technically the amount of knowledge that you get from this would be next to impossible for an individual to get through it all. You’re only going to fact check and update interests of information. This should actually be the way PCs evolve into. The OS automatically comes with the most important information and education from the internet. The rest could be added if you choose to. Just an extra drive already setup on machines with access. It would also make sense energy wise to. Less power to run access over and over again. Each time you access that website a ton of infrastructure needs to turn on just to get it to you. The bonus of this too is that companies can offer faster speeds for cheaper because they are not being bogged down by consumers. Of course that would be a balancing act. Now I just need to figure out communications like phone and texting so I don’t need to rely on companies for it. This internet download solution is a huge help to my goals.

Also add an offline ai model in the mix. It's surprising how much data it can provide with how small they are and it truly feels like still having access to the internet.

A version of this with an LLM and RAG would be nice.

What's your go-to for downloading satellite maps?

This , Jen , is the Internet.

is it necessary to go via VM & docker with Proxmox when there is also option for like lxc?

That's actually a great idea! I won't have to ping mirrors so heavily when I'm bootstrapping and stuff. I'm not a doomer about the state actor grid-down scenario anymore though. If they didn't believe shutting it down was not survivable, they would've done it by now.

I think it would be interesting if you could have this done with pdfs. Make a virtual library of sorts.

what is that beatyfull linux distro YOU are using in this vid? Also nicest vid about this topic that ive seen so far. :D

"Do this if you dont trust your government." Well looks like WE ALL have a new weekend project lol!

It would be amazing if you could use an LLM for searching this, sorta like a local Copilot.

It would be nice if they made a rugged one and water proof case
