2019

There will be people with the means and access to produce electricity and at the least I might have a chance to be under their protection with backup of Wikipedia and technical know hows. This probably only applies to long-term-everything-has-gone-to-shit situations.

Just like it does now, when there's no electric let alone internet.

Get the full torrent with images and everything.

But still what do you do when drives fail? Hard drive production post collapse will be literally impossible as will be basically everything else we take as granted today. Most regions on earth don't even have the access to rare earths etc.
And I don't see why they shouldn't kill you and take the PC anyways.
Honestly post collapse will be a very boring very shit place, if you want to go for long term survival I'd recommend survival books or maybe even a ultra low power laptop with solar panels (again if that is an option in your region) and most importantly learning skills now and not when everything has already gone to shit. Cause when you have useful knowledge people are much more likely to protect you.

What font is that?

Books are definitely better but can only fit so much. If world doesn't get fixed in the time drives all fail, world doesn't deserve the knowledge Wikipedia has. Drives aren't that bad, they will last long enough with enough copies.

I will read a fucking book. And wikipedia sucks anyways.

Not OP here, but Kiwix can run on Android as well. English Wikipedia is getting to big to carry in a common microSD tho.

Well in a scenario where the backbone of the internet goes down I doubt we'll have it fixed within 10-20 years. Basically everything relies on importing goods that we can't produce locally, these transports rely on petrol and the internet. Basically in such a scenario shit is so fucked I wouldn't worry about having Wikipedia on my homelab anymore.

Humans lived before long distance communication. Even if government can't handle it, there will be pirates importing and exporting things.

You massively underestimate just how reliant we are on petrochemical fertilisers etc and how difficult even today with working infrastructure and modern technology it is to get to those fossil fuels.
The world population would decline dramatically seriously look up the Haber-Bosch Process and the history of petrochemical fertilisers especially in relation to human population. On top of that I doubt many people know how to farm, leading to even more deaths. It would probably take decades before we have organised societies again. And imports and exports how we are used to them today won't be possible. It'd be much more small scale and take weeks to get from place to place without planes, cars, ships. Production is a whole other thing. So many of our modern comforts and products rely on parts that are literally impossible to produce without computers because the fault tolerance is so low.
Bigger a problem still is that when we collapse to the point of the internet shutting down for good infrastructure will deteriorate dramatically and quickly cause who would repair shit when you are in a life or death situation?

tl;dr if we (globally) collapse so bad that society breaks down it will be over for good this time because there are no more easily attainable fossil fuels left to jump start a second industrial revolution.

Fuck. So, food, water filtration, shelter and post-apocalypse political skills are bigger priority. I wonder how long radios last, they should be very useful since infrastructure required is little to none as long as device works, radios use lot less power than other techs.

Probably read a book

I ctrl + f'd "gb" and "mb" and no one's mentioned filesize yet. How large is the entire wikipedia archive, compressed, including images and whatever media files?

Short wave radios are fucking amazing. Not even the EMP from a nuclear explosion can take them out. They are our best bet for post collapse (however that collapse might look like) communications.
The biggest immediate problem would be surviving the chaos, immediately followed by securing clean drinkable water and food. Depending on where you live that can be really easy or nigh impossible. Shelter will be abundant in most places. Farming is hard, especially organic farming without petrochemical fertilisers and pesticides etc.
I'd say the most critical skills will be outdoors survival without any helping tools, botanic and medical knowledge, "people skills" to sum a lot of things up.
Look up the rule of three. 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.
The biggest problem is that without petrochemical fertilisers etc 7 billion people is far beyond critical mass and can't even be mentioned in the same conversation as sustainable amount of people. Society will break down to a more medieval pre industrial civilisation state, with most people farmers to feed everyone.

I um I didn't uh expect an answer
So umm thanks I guess haha

tfw Hermann Kahn was right

I do have kiwix on my phone. I like to read random pages when I'm on the train.

Unironically if only he knew how bad things really would be. But yes he was so right about so many things it's admirable and absolutely horrifying at the same time. Absolutely brilliant mind.

Thanks for the learns user, didn't know how dependent we are on fertilizers.

>browsing a fake news left biased website
I want my source of information to be unbiased.

Well yeah people often argue about the most world changing invention of all time but in my mind there is no argument to be made for anything besides the Haber-Bosch Process and Petrochemical fertilisers. Population literally exploded thanks to that and changed our society from almost exclusively farmers to the industrial and now service based society we are today. Fascinating but with horrifying implications at the same time. Glad you enjoyed the read though.

>What are you going to do when the internet goes down?
Have accurate facts and relevant information instead of wikipedia. I already have many books, old books/ dictionaries aren't spacejewed.

Millions of searchable domain specific articles vs your bookshelf

if internet goes down why the fuck would i browse wikipedia ?

Methods of growing food for your region, making gunpowder and certain medicine, machining, edible and medicinal plants identification, medical care and procedures, electronic repair/troubleshooting and construction, etc.
vs.
glossing over subjects and socjus definitions of gender

>What are you gonna do when internet will goes down ?
Enjoy a better life.

If the internet goes down I have a lot more problems than not being able to browse wikipedia, losing my job and get starved for one.
So who gives a shit.

an e-reader and solar charger stored in a faraday cage.

I will laugh at all the retards that are completely dependent on it.

Reverting to a Medieval state is probably a tad bit overkill. More likely it would revert back to a late 19th early 20th century level technology. Certainly supremely complex manufacturing processes like computer chip making would be out of the question for a number of years but simple things like a steam powered vehicle is something a hobbyist metal worker could put together. I think people would be surprised at how fast society would be capable of putting itself back together even if every major city was wiped off the map. Provided there was no problems from fallout and linger radiation the world would get basic services back up within a decade and probably be at parity with pre-event technology within 30-40 years.

My internet goes down all the time, and it has never made me want to read wikipedia articles to pass the time.

I wish the internet would go down. I had this fantasy of building a local network to span my town so that we could share files and post on a local image board and stuff. Nobody was into it so I canned it, but if the internet went down then everyone would be fine with me stringing cables all over the place to share my massive hard drive full of movies, music, TV shows and pr0n. I could get everyone else involved in a little community and maybe eventually connect to the local networks of other cities too so we could rebuild a true large scale internet.

you'll need to get Jow Forums to survive in this new world, so why not power your shit like that

Nobody was into it because you're a stupid smelly autistic faggot. Go take a shower.

Nobody was into it, but they would be if there was no alternative.

Not that user, but Medieval describes a social arrangement and not just a time period. It started in western Europe because of the social breakdown caused by the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Roads, law, education and order collapsed and left most of the continent isolated.
In the chaos, individuals who were able to rally sufficient force to defend their land became kings, and their retainers were lords. The kings often had little in the way of capital though, so they couldn't just pay people to fight for them. So they instead gave pieces of their land to retainers in exchange for an oath of fealty. Those without land, the peasants, who then work the lord's land in exchange for housing and protection.
Medieval society was built entirely upon the collapse of previous order. And we would likely revert to it if something catastrophic happened.

Any good books on how to survive when the shit hits the fan?

What you're describing is Feudalism. Medieval is derived from the Latin "medium aevum" which means Middle Age. Medieval is a certain time period in European history. Feudalism is the governmental structures in place, and it wasn't uniform across Europe.

Just be yourself

>Kikepedia

fucking kek

That's the reason why I was asking in the first place.

>not having a hot spare buried underground

There's plenty of different books on all sorts of things, what environment. Short term (emergency preparedness) food, water, shelter like normal.
Long term, if you're by yourself you're dead is what everyone says.

If the internet "goes down" I don't think that being unable access wikipedia is going to be your biggest problem m8.

*shoots your autistic ass and steals your generators/fuel*
Yeah okay retard.

I once downloaded a dump of the enwiki article database and configured my own MediaWiki instance to point to it.

This was about 10 years ago. I'd say the database is too big to do this now.

come at me internets I have the gentoomen library

learn how to work and play nice with others

>"Don't Be A Cunt" : The Post.

>backup of Wikipedia
Why would the collective ramblings of a bunch of underemployed purple haired SJW trannys and various US government assets hold any value?

Just put it on e-reader
1month of battery, in which time you'll probably figure out how to charge it

See WUGs, community networks, etc.
NYCmesh. Ubiquiti.
You can build a cheap solar powered network and share files/communicate offline & online.

Ignore the other fuckwit.

Not a bad idea

e-readers spend next to nothing in terms of energy

>As I said there aren't very many regions on earth where solar panels are a valid option
LOL.
Stopped right there. I don't read brainlet posts.

Nothing, Wikipedia is shitty circlejerk now.

>implying I don't
My parents live in a quiet little mountain town with shitty internet, I always go prepared.
