For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO's, and a lot of entertainment media.

A decent chunk of that is in The Food Lab cookbook.

All the extension office university data on plants, agriculture, etc. It’s invaluable info for anyone who grows their own food and deals with bees in relation to that food growth.

Is there an archive of this kind of data anywhere? I'd love to store this. I've already got a few wikis, including Wikipedia itself, but I'd love more

It’s individual universities.

Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

I'd want to pirate every drawing program I never got a chance to try, plus the fancier writing software. Gonna have a lot of time to learn both.

I've seen shockingly few movies and TV shows so maybe all the media I can get my hands on, too.

Nothing.

If the Internet went away, we'd have a little time before batteries were not viable even if replaceable, as distributing those batteries would get problematic.

We would have had no time to withdraw cash as cash, an important thing since banks will fall over at least enough to trigger an economic collapse.

No, we're all gonna need to learn how to fight, and live without hospitals and drugs and probably electricity.

We have bigger problems than ensuring we can look up the capital of Rwanda on this cached Wikipedia while we listen to The Cure.

Good thing portable solar panels & lead-acid batteries exist that can easily power a couple of laptops even if their internal batteries are cooked. Solar panels last for a very long time if cared for, and lead-acid batteries can be (somewhat) useful almost indefinitely if you replace the electrolyte.

No, we’re all gonna need to learn how to fight, and live without hospitals and drugs and probably electricity.

So it would be really handy to have instructions for maintaining or even building weaponry, medical/medicinal literature to find useful herbs or other remedies, and engineering literature/textbooks/software to help us rebuild the electrical grid and then the Internet.

What makes you think I didn't already download everything I want?

[–] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nothing, I never said any such thing. In your case your answer to my question would be "I would not have to wish, because I already downloaded everything I want". This makes you wise.

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's a much classier way of calling someone a digital hoarder :)

Haha, I have an ok amount of data tucked away on disks as well, but I have a huge appreciation for people who do collect data as a hobby. In the contemporary, I fully believe that having people who take it upon themselves to do this is more important than ever, even thought it is often a thankless thing to do.

So in this case, I would throw a thank you your way for doing that!
