Hebrew by Inbal<p>“Knowledge is power” has never been more relevant. Today, many are protesting based on misinformation, often laced with anti-Semitism, rather than informed understanding.</p><p>True knowledge isn’t just facts—it’s a tool for critical thinking, a bridge to diverse perspectives, and a responsibility. Yet, when it’s distorted by propaganda, it fuels division instead of enlightenment.</p><p>Your voice is your power, but it must be rooted in truth. Seek knowledge beyond social media narratives, question popular opinions, and engage with different viewpoints. Real empowerment comes from thinking critically and striving for deeper understanding.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/knowledgeispower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>knowledgeispower</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/knowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>knowledge</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/learnhebrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>learnhebrew</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/truth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>truth</span></a></p>

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" 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 &gt; database you want to search &gt; "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&amp;category=wikipedia" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&amp;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" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Kiwix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kiwix</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Offline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Offline</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KnowledgeIsPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KnowledgeIsPower</span></a></p>
