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

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Depends on how up-to-date your install image is. If you downloaded the ISO 6 months ago, chances are, the build you downloaded is out of date (doubly so if it's Arch). Most installers have an online option that will download the updates and install the newest version, but if you don't have access to the internet, then all you have is the data included in the ISO that you got 6 months ago.

not sure what you’re refering to:)

http plz fix https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer

Wikipedia would be the most valuable thing if I had to pick one, I guess.

An maybe the "your jimmies are eternal video" in case I need to unrustle my jimmie ever again.

Dick Valentine, is that you?

[mipadaitu@lemmy.world]

Having the whole wikipedia would get you a damn good start to getting back to civilization.

Only as good as you know about the topic, try doing a http server from just a Wikipedia page

[wilfordgrimley@linux.community]

A distilled DeepSeek R1 model.

Not too hard with a single server as your node and everyone being wired into it. Obviously you would have to code every website and have all required dependencies there already.

[bastingchemina@slrpnk.net]

I'm adding https://www.survivorlibrary.com/ to the list

[billwashere@lemmy.world]

Would you like a roommate?

The Time Cube so I could rebuild society.

Not to be confused with Times Square

[valmond@lemmy.world]

What the hell

[bonesofthemoon@lemmy.world]

Opera videos.

[jtskulk@lemmy.world]

What makes you think I didn't already download everything I want?

[golden_zealot@lemmy.ml]

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.
