    Reminds me to donate to Wikipedia … and download another updated copy of the entire Wikipedia database.

          I’ve only ever used Kiwix … it’s the easiest and most easily installable on different devices.

          I’ve downloaded the entire database about six times now over the past few years. I keep a duplicated copy everywhere … laptop, tablet, storage drive, portable drive, smartphone … in multiple places at home / cottage / relatives place

          My latest download will only be to have an updated copy as my last one is about a year old.

          I don’t like doomsday prepping and I don’t really prepare for anything. I’ve been self sufficient all my life and if the world ends, I’ll be able to make do on my own, I always have. But when it comes to knowledge and information, keeping a copy of Wikipedia is no-brainer for me.

            I’m not the prepper person either, but I like to be self-sufficient and not be overly reliant on modern technology. My primary use case has been during travels.
