    Download your own copy of wikipedia.

    https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng is one of many tools out there that can help you get a copy and even get it running in docker.

    More copied of the data, less possible to take it all down.

        Wikipedia is 109.89GB… You could have enough space on your phone that you’re reading this post on.

            Uh… Well, no? I mean you can go see for yourself. Click an article. Media is there. https://library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01/A/User:The_other_Kiwix_guy/Landing

            I don’t know exactly what subsets of stuff this is, as I know that wikipedia is about 1/2 petabyte total data all in. But this specific zim export is all English articles with some media. I believe that ALL the English articles is about 50GB and the other 55-ish GB is just media. It’s definitely cutdown, but not devoid.

              Huh, guess I was wrong. I was pretty sure the text part alone was that much
