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

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

[omegalemmy@discuss.online]

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?

[nitefox@sh.itjust.works]

in my basement, sure

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.ml]

The Time Cube so I could rebuild society.

[poollovernathan@programming.dev]

FROM scratch AS internet
# TODO

[drthunder@midwest.social]

Not to be confused with Times Square

[valmond@lemmy.world]

What the hell

[bonesofthemoon@lemmy.world]

Opera videos.

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.

[gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de]

don't forget the source code!

[jollyrogue@lemmy.ml]

Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

[jtskulk@lemmy.world]

That's a much classier way of calling someone a digital hoarder
