Em :official_verified:<p>Tiny Apocalyptic Time Tip 🌐✨</p><p>If you too feel uneasy about <br>the state of the world, <br>and you too worry about losing access to one of the greatest knowledge treasure of the internet,</p><p>Know that you can download an <br>offline copy of Wikipedia!</p><p>Here's how 📚👇</p><p>1. Download the free and open source software Kiwix (this will be your reader): <a href="https://kiwix.org/en/applications/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">kiwix.org/en/applications/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>2. If you want smaller versions of Wikipedia, you can download them within Kiwix. </p><p>Within the app, go to "Categories" in the menu on the left, then browse to a topic/version you want. Scroll to the bottom for Wikipedia mini, for example. Click on it then click "Download" on the right :neocat_book: </p><p>3. Once you have downloaded a database, click on "Opened" on the left > database you want to search > "Open Main Page" on the right.</p><p>4. You can use the Search field on the upper-right to find topics like on online Wikipedia! 🔍 </p><p>5. If you want the full English version of Wikipedia (110GB), you might want to download it from the torrent file instead. Install a torrent client of your choice (I use Transmission). </p><p>Then, go to this page, click on "Download - 109.89 GB" blue button on the first result (size may vary overtime), then select "Torrent file": <a href="https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&category=wikipedia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&ca</span><span class="invisible">tegory=wikipedia</span></a></p><p>6. Once you have the torrent file, open it with your torrent client to start the download. This is BIG! Be patient! 📦 </p><p>7. Once the download is completed, open your Wikipedia `.zim` file with Kiwix!</p><p>8. Magic! 📖✨</p><p>Extra Tip: You can download many other awesome knowledge files from the Kiwix Library! Personally, I also got the iFixit knowledge base! ⚒️ :blobcatrainbow: </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Kiwix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kiwix</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Offline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Offline</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KnowledgeIsPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KnowledgeIsPower</span></a></p>
