For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO’s, and a lot of entertainment media.
A car.
You wouldn’t.
A full copy of Stack Overflow. Otherwise, we would not know how to get the Internet working again.
Somethings are better when done from scratch.
A copy of scratch then.
not sure what you’re refering to:)

FROM scratch AS internet # TODO
The Time Cube so I could rebuild society.

Not to be confused with Times Square
What the hell
archive.org, which contains wikipedia too. Checkmate!
What’s the file size on that?
The file size doesnt matter
Imagine how much money you could make selling access to specific websites
You should start downloading it right now in case the internet goes down
I’ve got a couple of 10TB HDDs. Is that enough?
The amount of data required for that would be immense. From what I’ve been able to find it’s over 200 petabytes.
Pff, rookie numbers. I have a 3k zettabytes data center at home
Would you like a roommate?
in my basement, sure
All of kurzgesagt, minute physics, vsauce, Steve mould, matt parker, and veritasium. I think they’re invaluable education resources and it would be useful to be able to distribute them, or just have them for my own sake.
Honestly, while fun, those videos don’t provide too much value per GB - and I say that as someone who’s watched almost all of them. Their main actual benefit besides entertainment is (IMHO) getting people interested in the relevant field so they study more thoroughly. They often explain simple yet dazzling concepts which get you hooked but don’t provide much value on their own, and don’t directly enable you to solve real-life problems. Even more involved videos like those by 3blue1brown are still edutainment at their core, as acknowledged by the author. In an apocalypse (which, let’s face it, is the most likely reason the internet would indefinitely go down in a developed country) you would be much better off with engineering (mechanical, electrical, etc) literature and textbooks, maybe a couple science textbooks for good measure (I have a drawer full of the Feynman lectures in case something like this happens).
I don’t disagree with the sentiment but I think having accessible, entertaining education resources would also be a huge boon. They’re sure not going into depth on the topics but I imagine getting people “on the hook” could be huge, and then they can find other more educational resources from others in the community.
e621 dump
based
Not one, but two references to e621 in this thread. And neither are from users on the furry instances. Much to think about.
okay, you caught me, my .world profile was supposed to be my non-furry lemmy account.
I do have a copy of wikipedia and I should be good on entertainment media. I guess I should expand the emergency porn stash.
Just out of curiosity, how much space/effort was that to set up? (Yes, I know I can probably google up like a bajillion resources on this exact thing, but I’m a weirdo and am attempting to bring the (non-toxic/shitty) social back to social media)
I’ve been considering setting myself up a little NAS server since I finally dumped Spotify and am considering doing the same with video streaming too (besides Tubi, anyway), but having one just for mp3/light video streaming seems like a bit of a waste and having local repos of useful sites might be a fun side project to help justify it to myself lol
I went with a Synology NAS (I know, the foss crowd will probably crucify me) which really keeps the setup effort to a minimum. You put in the HDDs, setup your pool/volume, install Plex (or jellyfin), upload your media and you’re basically good to go.
For the Wikipedia part, it’s surprisingly simple. I just used Kiwix and grabbed a copy, it’s only about 100gb or so. You can also use it to get offline copies of other stuff, like Project Gutenberg.
I’m using emby for music, audiobooks, tv, and movies. You can also do picture backup/sync if you want. I am running it in a docker on my unraid server.
Today I learned I’m unintentionally preparing for the Internet apocalypse.
Extra RAM.
The Gutenberg Project, as well as those free online classes for things.
Assuming the web would go completely bust, I’d go back to a much simpler life.
Probably forums I use to solve problems (stackoverflow and all the stack exchange ones), offline games, guides (for programming, sysadmin, building tables, cooking, travel and repair ones…), documentation for every software and tool I use or might use. Wikipedia is also a must, music too. I have a media server for my music but keeping it up to date with every release is hard work that I haven’t started (yet).
Man I have never thought about it because of feeling so at ease with the digital video game stores and just downloading what I want whenever I want without keeping a physical library that would take up space. Same with books.
If the internet died tomorrow, I would have the stuff I’m playing or reading or watching downloaded but I would be out of luck for anything else until it came back. Maybe it’s time to start a backup, get a big HDD or something
Those naked pictures of your mom
Dick Valentine, is that you?
Oh please, you can find those in the yellow pages
I guess a lot of music and movies from a pirate site. I’d spend more time at the library listening to my music.
