  1. Super cool project;

    github.com/epheterson/Zimi

    It's an alternate front end for Kiwix's ZIM's. Auto updating through torrents with seeding, catalogue search, tons of built ins, like calendar, sky and space data. ZIM's are sorted by category, with custom sorting and favourites.

    It even pulls random data for some ZIM's, like "word of the day" or "this day in history".

    The world map ZIM works amazing with search and random locations, although a bit slow on a Pi5.

    Something I've found really interesting is from the home screen you can click the random button and it'll give you a random article from all your ZIM's.

    A big bonus is the dev is very friendly!

  10. 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.

  12. 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?

  13. #degoogle

    #kiwix
    #searchengines
    #tiddlywiki

    Finally landed on an alternative to using google as my default search engine. The screenshot is my default browser page, which is made using TiddlyWiki. Frequently visited sites are put into the main section (a "tiddler"). Kiwix search allows me to run local searches on downloadable databases (including wikipedia snapshots!!) without even going online. There's a couple of alternative search engines using the Bing index as a last resort.

    My other tiddlers allow me to integrate notes/reminders with bookmarks. All of this is contained in a single .html file that is very easy to maintain/modify.

    This "workflow" disconnects from any direct use of google search completely.

    - #dockhand pour évaluer si ça peut remplacer #portainer sur le futur #homelab
    -
    - #komga pour lire des comics (qui a récemment remplacé #kavita )
    - booklore, pour remplacer calibre. En sync avec ma #kobo c'est hyper pratique
    - #stashapp (oui, je suis honnête)
    - #kiwix euh... parce que.

    Genau so ist es, Michael:
    Auch wir sind auf #waermepumpe und #bev umgestiegen (und haben dabei 46% Energiekosten eingespart) machen bei #unplugtrump und #diday mit und helfen anderen auf diesem Weg. #nextcloud und #pihole laufen, deutsche und internationale #wikipedia sind mit #Kiwix gebackupt, Handy läuft auf #grapheneos, #unsocialmedia deinstalliert.
    Das alles auch inspiriert durch Dich und deine Posts hier und dafür jetzt mal ein längst überfälliges:
    DANKE!

  19. Searching for #solarpunk #symbol s:

    A flash memory pendant containing an offline copy of #Wikipedia , #OpenStreetMap , #Appropedia and #OpenSourceEcology project.

    Oversimplifying, a stand-in for "the sum of human knowledge".

    (Possibly some Linux distro, some documentation, manuals to restart infrastructure as needed)

    The EN Wikipedia with Pictures ( #kiwix ) is only 110 GB, will easily fit on a modern pendrive.

    Is it a good symbol of a better future?

    🎬 Tuto vidéo : install d’un logiciel sur Linux Mint (rushs tournés avec #OBS 🎥). On verra si c’est exploitable 😅 Les élèves ont adoré ! Un tuto mise à jour est prévu la semaine prochaine 😉

    🛠️ Installation de #LinuxMint sur un PC boosté la semaine dernière (RAM gonflée + SSD installé 💪). Un ordi de plus sauvé ! 💚

    📚 #Kiwix : install + téléchargement de Wikipédia pour une consultation hors ligne. 🌍

    Internet in a box can be the starting point for so many smaller projects. You don’t have to run all of it for every project.
    I use it as the foundation for my little free e-library,

    github.com/michaelbelcher/Litt

    But it can also be used as a stand alone NextCloud instance, offline Wikipedia/ #kiwix server or open source maps interface.

  32. I think is how I am going to use with . It works really well especially with Emacs 30 in which can render small images inline.

    Since kiwix has no branding and the left column with the links with which shr struggles is also absent, the article is much cleaner and loads must faster. Really good for quickly looking at and articles.

  35. @Em0nM4stodon I feel like it's worth mentioning that #internetinabox (internet-in-a-box.org) ships with #kiwix, and a variety of tools to simplify the creation and distribuiton of (optionally) offline hotspots to share these collected works as well.

    I've prototyped a couple in my rPi400 and it works really well, 10/10 would recommend for redundant distributions of valuable educational resources, with a front end for non-techies.

    Bonus: it's basically just a #debian distro

  40. Die Goodall Familie nutzte auf ihrer Seereise durch den Pazifik Offline-Wikis mit Kiwix. So konnten ihre Kinder an Bord der Kyrimba unterwegs lernen.
    Das Gleiche macht Labdoo übrigens auch auf seinen Lern-Laptops, damit Schulen auch in Regionen ohne Zugang zum Internet Lerninhalte zur Verfügung haben.
