If the internet went away indefinitely, what things would you wish you had downloaded before it happened?
-
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?
-
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
-
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.
-
I'm adding https://www.survivorlibrary.com/ to the list
-
Would you like a roommate?
-
in my basement, sure
-
The Time Cube so I could rebuild society.
-
FROM scratch AS internet # TODO
-
Not to be confused with Times Square
-
What the hell
-
Opera videos.
-
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.
-
don't forget the source code!
-
Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.
-
That's a much classier way of calling someone a digital hoarder
