For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO’s, and a lot of entertainment media.
Can’t believe I’m the first to say this, but… porn.
Today I learned I’m unintentionally preparing for the Internet apocalypse.
Youtube videos. I used to use youtube-dl exclusively, and then that stopped working, and I’ve gradually been sucked back into just using the website. But there’s a text file with a list of URLs I’ve been meaning to grab for posterity… and it’s getting kinda fat.
yt-dlp still works!
A full copy of Stack Overflow. Otherwise, we would not know how to get the Internet working again.
Somethings are better when done from scratch.
archive.org, which contains wikipedia too. Checkmate!
The amount of data required for that would be immense. From what I’ve been able to find it’s over 200 petabytes.
Pff, rookie numbers. I have a 3k zettabytes data center at home
Would you like a roommate?
in my basement, sure
What makes you think I didn’t already download everything I want?
Nothing, I never said any such thing. In your case your answer to my question would be “I would not have to wish, because I already downloaded everything I want”. This makes you wise.
That’s a much classier way of calling someone a digital hoarder :)
Haha, I have an ok amount of data tucked away on disks as well, but I have a huge appreciation for people who do collect data as a hobby. In the contemporary, I fully believe that having people who take it upon themselves to do this is more important than ever, even thought it is often a thankless thing to do.
So in this case, I would throw a thank you your way for doing that!
