If the internet went away indefinitely, what things would you wish you had downloaded before it happened?

I'm a data hoarder so I already have done that.

[carbonscored@hexbear.net]

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.

[bluesquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org]

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.

[know_not_scotty_does@lemmy.world]

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

[sidewayshighways@lemmy.world]

I wanna be your friend lol

[sidewayshighways@lemmy.world]

does that apply to the rest of Linux? I saw it in Kiwix but haven't delved into it

[shimmeringkoi@hexbear.net]

All of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, JK I've got that shit on lock already

[couldbealeotard@lemmy.world]

What's the file size on that?

[legendsofanus@lemmy.ml]

Man I have never thought about it because of feeling so at ease with the digital video game stores and just downloading what I want whenever I want without keeping a physical library that would take up space. Same with books.

If the internet died tomorrow, I would have the stuff I'm playing or reading or watching downloaded but I would be out of luck for anything else until it came back. Maybe it's time to start a backup, get a big HDD or something
