There's this project called kiwix. Their goal is to provide access to knowledge when there's no internet, so they provide access to lots of trusted knowledge sources: There's books, talks, wikipedia and your favorite software's documentation is probably there too :hammyeyes:

The first place to check is the library where you can search through the archives. If you click the cards you can open the libraries and browse through the website archives. They even have a search feature that isn't half bad.

It took me a while to find out how to read these archives locally, but here's a good comprehensive list. It seems they have plenty of options, from a simple offline app you can run locally to a little frontend you can self-host that uses the same interface as the library I shared above.

I'm gonna be putting one of these in my cluster to toy with it!]]> no_email@example.com (celes) http://community.carrot-games.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29&p=67#p67 Fri, 13 Mar 2026 10:26:04 +0000 http://community.carrot-games.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29&p=67#p67 <![CDATA[The Lounge :: Re: Kiwix: A cool offline internet viewer :: Reply by Sugui]]> http://community.carrot-games.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29&p=70#p70
I'm also thinking about piracy now, non-centrally distributed information is one of the best and durable ways to preserve shows, music, software, books from be lost forever... Think about the old shows that streaming services stopped to host u_u

Indeed! We'd all do well to start preserving knowledge. I don't think any sort of catastrophic events are necessary for preservation stuff to come in handy. You never know when some asshole is gonna decide to block a whole country's internet to protect a bunch of fragile-ego'd clowns and their right to chase after a ball.]]> no_email@example.com (celes) http://community.carrot-games.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29&p=74#p74 Sat, 14 Mar 2026 09:56:40 +0000 http://community.carrot-games.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29&p=74#p74
