A full copy of Stack Overflow. Otherwise, we would not know how to get the Internet working again.

I'm a data hoarder so I already have done that.
-
Already got all my favourite games downloaded or on DVD. All my Youtube favourites and the full catalogues of some old channels would be great. No JonGrumps and no 00's meme videos make me something something.

Is there an archive of this kind of data anywhere? I'd love to store this. I've already got a few wikis, including Wikipedia itself, but I'd love more

Honestly I'd probably just give up on technology entirely. Become a hermit carpenter or something

Assuming the web would go completely bust, I'd go back to a much simpler life.

It’s individual universities.

I'd want to pirate every drawing program I never got a chance to try, plus the fancier writing software. Gonna have a lot of time to learn both.
I've seen shockingly few movies and TV shows so maybe all the media I can get my hands on, too.

I’ve made sure I’m good to go, as I always thought the day might come that I can’t afford internet anyway.
I have my entire gog library downloaded. I have my nas full of movies and tv. I listen to all my favourite music on records.
Every couple of years I go through and update my rom library to make sure I have the most to to date best known roms.Even as much as possible I keep latest version of the Linux iso I might want, and if there is an appimage of my most used programs, it’s there too.
I’m pretty much ready for my life to become leaner when it comes to internet.

I'm using emby for music, audiobooks, tv, and movies. You can also do picture backup/sync if you want. I am running it in a docker on my unraid server.

A decent chunk of that is in The Food Lab cookbook.
