If the internet went away indefinitely, what things would you wish you had downloaded before it happened?
-
I've never used arch but their docs are so helpful. Been referencing them for years.
-
Oh please, you can find those in the yellow pages
-
Yeah same here lol. Already got Wikipedia and backup copies of all my books, as well as enough TV and movies to last a good long while. Also an entire offline copy of Project Gutenberg.
-
For the Wikipedia part, it's surprisingly simple. I just used Kiwix and grabbed a copy, it's only about 100gb or so. You can also use it to get offline copies of other stuff, like Project Gutenberg.

internet =/= electricity.

Extra RAM.

True but he's got a point. If the internet suddenly went away, there are likely bigger problems to deal with.
-
The Gutenberg Project, as well as those free online classes for things.

Similar to "if the government can't cash your check, we're all fucked"

DownThemAll, Double Click Image Downloader, Gallery Swallower userscript.
The games you can probably get via sneakernet.

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!
-
Can't believe I'm the first to say this, but... porn.

Perhaps instead of using youtube-dl or yt-dlp, you may enjoy some client such as freetube more, as it has a lot of the benefits of those tools, but without ads, and with sponsorblock/thumbnail correction, and other nice customizations. It also enables you to create playlists and whatnot.
