#kiwix — Public Fediverse posts

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

#offlinefirst

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!

#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.

A date, sur mon #NAS, les stacks déployées (par ordre d'utilisation) sont :
- #freshrss bien sûr, que je consulte tellement de fois par jour
- #immich pour sauvegarder mes photos depuis mon tel
- #jellyfin comme mediacenter
- ...branché sur #yamtrack
- #readeck pour sauvegarder mes "à lire plus tard"
- #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.

Do You Need PrepperDisk, the Off-The-Grid Raspberry Pi-Powered Reference Library? https://lowendbox.com/blog/do-you-need-prepperdisk-the-off-the-grid-raspberry-pi-powered-reference-library/ #LowEndVirtual #prepperdisk #prepperdisk #teotwawki #reddawn #kiwix #iiab

@BlumeEvolution @Bubbles
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!

The latest DDOS on the Arch Wiki prompted me to start hosting a mirror: https://wikimirrors.rhys.wtf

Plus some other things useful from Kiwix.

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?

@jonah since https://internet-in-a-box.org is real, and distributes #Kiwix among many other similarly useful offline (or locally broadcasted) things, I promise you won't be the only one.

I've built a few. #Wikipedia in English is only 102GB, so many other things are available too, you definitely won't be the only one!

@franklinlopez
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,

https://github.com/michaelbelcher/LittleFreeELibrary

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

#internetinabox

I just setup an old phone with #kiwix so I have an offline copy of stuff like full #Wikipedia, #RationalWiki, and others. You know, just in case.

Hat noch jemand ein #wikihow ZIM File rumliegen? #kiwix bietet es nicht mehr an...

I think #kiwix is how I am going to use #wikipedia with #emacs. It works really well especially with Emacs 30 in which #shr 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 #math and #physics articles.

Our famous libzim #Python #binding is now out in version 3.5.0! With - for the first time - Microsoft Windows support! Check-it out! https://pypi.org/project/libzim/ #edtech #offline #zim #Kiwix

«Help us bring Internet to all»

Useful as well as educational information can be found on @wikipedia, among others. However, depending on the situation, even in the EU and USA, for example, you cannot access them offline. In this regard, you can use the free @kiwix tool developed by @WikimediaCH.

Quicker, better, robuster,... this is ZIMit 2.0! Our scraper able to make an offline version of any Web site is only a few days away from its release! Stay tuned! https://github.com/openzim/zimit #webscraping #webarchiving #zim #offline #kiwix #warc

Does anyone know of well-maintained or slightly out-of-date TXT or html dataDump of wikipedia, stackExchange or stackoverflow? I love to browse offline, but kiwix is not accessible with screen readers last I checked.

We had a really nice discussion in the (virtual) #swib22 pub this evening in a small round of 4-6 people.

One central theme was the movement towards centralization of the web (Twitter, also Wikidata/Wikipedia) & how to create a decentralized web that is resilient in the face of social & ecological disruptions. Amongst others, #ActivityPub, #IPFS, #BitTorrent, #LOCKSS, #Kiwix, #Spritely had an appearance.

Thank you @tobiasnx @osma @literarymachine @steffenr42 @dbs & Joachim for this evening!

@muc @bjoern #Kiwix kann das ZIM File Format lesen, das hat aber leider nichts mit #ZimWiki zu tun.
