@SecurityWriter I downloaded the whole thing and running it via KIWIX offline

@SecurityWriter plus 1 for Kiwix. Probably worth archiving the current archive somewhere safe too

@SecurityWriter If you dont want the media images, it's not that big. https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&q=&category=other

In addition grab the offline-renderer for formating

@SecurityWriter This is a great idea. It could be fun little weekend project w/ my kids, who aren't used to the internet being down or content potentially being unavailable.

@queserasera @SecurityWriter the only wrinkle with kiwix i've run into is they've been boosting stallman

@queserasera @SecurityWriter exactly the same I did on Sunday evening.

@SecurityWriter my boss gives them free backups on his giant storage infra

@SecurityWriter Thanks for the info and links! I also checked the replies to your post last night and kicked off a Kiwix download, which finished. It's not 100% clear what the best option is yet if you want to have some images, but I think experimentation will be part of the fun.
