A service that views wikipedia offline, but also mirrors it with diffs whould be neat.
Kiwix is neat for viweing and downloading, but I don't know wether it does do this or not.

Does anybody know a workflow for converting exported #MediaWiki XML (as produced by `Special:Export`) to a ZIM for use with #KiwiX?
I'm willing to write some Python code for this if needed but would be happier if there's some tool that lets me just drop in the XML and get a KiwiX-ready ZIM out. I'm not fussed about the aesthetics of the result.

don’t forget to download your #kiwix archives before you lose access to the internet.

Wikipedia has a 'built-in' reverse video button which is excellent for reading in low light (i.e. non-office) conditions.
Is it possible to achieve a similar effect whilst browsing ZIMs with Kiwix?#kiwix #ZIM #DarkMode #wikipedia #offlinebrowsing #geek #wikimedia #browser

It's been murdered by some greedy cunts like everything else that was once good about the Internet.
I suggest that everyone downloads the entire database while they still can before it's forever corrupted with corporate and political lies and AI garbage.

The cool thing about kiwix is that u can jjst serve that even from ur phone and all those connected in ur wifi network can access it. Useful for libraries, classroom etc etc
U don't need internet all the time, only for updating. Pretty cool -

@sduvick You can get content at https://download.kiwix.org/zim/gutenberg/
Look for the large en_maxi or en_all labeled files if you want to get all the pictures and videos. Its pretty easy to want to download a terabyte. There are also some mirrors that can serve content a bit faster.

The updated version is currently sycing to my personal Kiwix library at the moment.

Just donated to @kiwix!
They do great work of making the download of various dictionaries and knowledgebases offline extremely easy!
This is essential for people in regions with bad internet, like a refugee camp.
I couldn't find any legal advice, which would be pretty important, apart from a general #StackExchange backup.
Spread the knowledge!

Tired of Enshittification? Take your knowledge offline.
I am currently self hosting a @kiwix instance on my homelab. Having local, searchable copies of Wikipedia, the ArchWiki, and iFixit feels like a cheat code for digital sovereignty.
Spin up the Docker image, grab your ZIM files, and stop relying on big tech to keep the lights on for your reference data.

One of my favorite sites is https://etymonline.com – it adds so much nerd-joy to my life! Recently subscribed to support them, and now I wanna see if they're open to making a .ZIM file for #Kiwix 🤔
Saw this fun exchange today and [linguistics ramble loading...]
// Edited to link the EOL entry for "griffin" (to which "griffon" and "gryphon" are linked as alternatives): https://www.etymonline.com/word/griffin
There's more surprising history in there too!
