@viralobscurity @Em0nM4stodon Slightly off topic, apart of #wikipedia and #ifixit ,what are the files and datasets that you guys seed because you consider them as valuable for our global knowledge, culture, etc?

I never took the time to do it, and this #kiwix discussion reminded me to further help sharing such content ❤️

Of course this can edge with legality, but frankly I dont care anymore 😂

(BTW I realise that I haven't torrented anything for almost 10 years, and that it's time to do download again as well 😎)

Tiny Offline Tip to Access Knowledge! 📵📚

You can download local copies of some large knowledge databases, such as Wikipedia and iFitIt, to consult them later completely offline.

Benefits:

📵 You will keep access even if you don't have an internet connection or your connection is too slow.

🏛️ You will retain an archive in time, regardless of potential changes later on.

🔒 No tracking while you do your research.

Here's how! 👇

Gestern mit Kiwix-Tools ein Alrik ZIM gebastelt und auf dem Handy via Kiwix-Reader offline gesurfed. Das ist schon sehr cool, Instant-Ramen-Offline-App in knapp 70 MB (nur das Archiv mit allen Billdern etc.)

So I have bought an HDD IPv6 only tiny VPS from #Privex to use it as #NAS for me main VPS. I kinda feel guilty I told the support to revert SSD upgrade few minutes after she had done it...

I'm gonna seed torrents on me VPS. If you have spare bandwidth, I suggest you do it too. Whatever you like and benefits your community.

See Kiwix Library and FOSSTorrents for a list of torrents you could seed.

Alright. I am using spare bandwidth on me VPS to seed #FOSS torrents!

I have ordered 30GB of HDD space to move the files completely to it. Then I will be able to seed more.

I am interested in seeding various underrated #opensource softwares and games. This includes #BSD derivatives, other independent operating systems like #HaikuOS. As well as many open source games like SuperTuxKart, Wesnoth and Xonotic.

I also seed offline versions of Persian Wikipedia.

If you also have got some spare bandwidth and disk space, you can help other people.

https://fosstorrents.com/ They create Unofficial torrents for many open source projects. I am seeding some of their torrents. They also include many BSD derivatives and independent operating systems.

From #Kiwix library you can download offline versions of many popular websites such as #Wikipedia, #Stackoverflow and so on. You can seed Wikipedia on your own language.

Also many #Linux distros and BSD derivatives have official torrents.

📚 Kiwix JS 3.8.8 (Electron/PWA) is out! Read offline Wikipedia and thousands of other libraries, on Windows, Mac, Linux or in your browser.

New this time: downloading a big library (200MB+) is much faster in the desktop app thanks to built-in WebTorrent, and you can now pause and pick up where you left off. Mac and Windows versions are also fully signed now.

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?

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.

@iFixit direct apk download is my preferred store. Also, Accrescent would work. Or, you know, just a zim archive in #kiwix would be even better

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

@zekjur #Kiwix is in general really nice. I try to get into the habit of using it to read documentation.

@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.
