    Sounds like I need to re-up on my donation to help save open information. Hopefully they can move operations to an actual friendly country.

      You can also download all of Wikipedia in a package about 120GB in size. I have a snapshot from Jan 1, 2024 before the fascists took over.

      Kiwix is the name of the offline browser designed for it.

      It’s no different to the Internet archive. They need to update their strategy for the threat of fascism and make it essentially impossible to destroy as long as people have PC’s connected to the internet.

      They need to decentralize operations with a distributed P2P protocol, redistribute their own servers across multiple jurisdictions, and allow individuals to donate resources for additional support/redundancy (as part of the P2P protocol).

      Also the Southern Baptist church which wasn’t founded to spread the good news about God demanding white people keep brown people as slaves, which now means you need to donate enough money so your pastor can buy the newest private jet.
