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.

    Wikipedia would be the most valuable thing if I had to pick one, I guess.

    An maybe the “your jimmies are eternal video” in case I need to unrustle my jimmie ever again.

    If you’d download the whole wikipedia be sure to download the whole commets section for each article to have a perspective on discussions on conflicting reasons for edits. Also include all the wiki media materials for all of the public domain literature, project gutenberg, entire archive.org, a good offline OS to be able to consume all of the information and you’re golden

        You mean electricity bills for powering the storage? I guess buying 100pb worth of storage disks would be pretty expensive enough but since it’s an archive there is no need to keep it powered 24/7, just turn them on only when you need to. It’s just a hypothetical situation anyway, it’s a thing I wish to have access to; only an experienced sysadmin can actually maintain such great archive or its copy/backup

        Let’s assume you have all hard drives and in a setup with absolutely zero redundancy in case a drive fails.

        We’re using the Seagate Exos X24 (24TB) drive which is roughly $700 each brand new.

        You’ll need 4167 of them to store 100PB. Which puts you at $2,916,900 just for the drives.

        Let’s assume you already have the enclosures, racks, and servers for a small datacenter ready to go.

        A drive can use 4-9w of power when spinning so assuming all drives are active (to ensure quick data access and data repair) that’ll be roughly 27086w for all the drives at 6.5w per drive. Every month (30 days), that is 19502kWh of electricity used. 40 years is roughly 349,680 hours so that comes out to around 9,471,433kWh used.

        Assuming you get some damn good electricity rates at $0.12USD per kWh, it’ll cost $1,136,572 to run just the drives.

        So in total, assuming you already have a datacenter with the capacity to install all the drives that runs on absolutely zero power, you’ll spend roughly $4,053,472 over the course of 40 years.

          There is a much cheaper way that doesn’t use hard drives. It uses magnetic tapes, LTO-9 tapes specifically.

          Each LTO-9 tape cassette can hold up to 45TB of data (compression is used to store it on the raw 18TB).

          An LTO-9 tape drive can cost $10,000. Assuming you get the full 45TB per tape, you’ll need 2223 LTO-9 tape cassettes to store 100PB. Assuming you buy in bulk, you can get each tape cassette for $150 which puts you at $333,450 for the tapes.

          Since the tapes don’t use power when not in use, this concludes the total cost. None of this accounts for storing all 2223 tapes or maintenance to ensure data is still intact on them but this comes out to $343,450 in total to store 100PB using magnetic tapes. While the cost is much cheaper, it’s much harder to access the data as it’s not immediately available since you have to fish out the drive you need and plop it into the tape drive then wait for it to read.

            Depends on how up-to-date your install image is. If you downloaded the ISO 6 months ago, chances are, the build you downloaded is out of date (doubly so if it’s Arch). Most installers have an online option that will download the updates and install the newest version, but if you don’t have access to the internet, then all you have is the data included in the ISO that you got 6 months ago.

      does that apply to the rest of Linux? I saw it in Kiwix but haven’t delved into it

      I did grab the ifixit zim though. pretty cool at only ~7gb

    All the images I have bookmarked on multiple devices from e621, any game I’ve been even possibly hesitating on pirating, all my Steam games (I don’t trust Inwouldnhe able to get in and install them if I could even get into my account to begin with at that point), and downloading every single song I have saved on yt and Newpipe because I’d never see them again.

    A whole slew of things.

    I’ve made sure I’m good to go, as I always thought the day might come that I can’t afford internet anyway.

    I have my entire gog and itch library downloaded (if I have any steam games not on gog, I’ve pirated them if I can find it). I have my nas full of movies and tv. I listen to all my favourite music on records. Every couple of years I go through and update my rom library to make sure I have the most to to date best known roms.

    Even as much as possible I keep latest version of the Linux iso I might want, and if there is an appimage of my most used programs, it’s there too.

    I’m pretty much ready for my life to become leaner when it comes to internet.

    This way. I should have all the stable software I could wish for and the instructions on how to use them.

      Just out of curiosity, how much space/effort was that to set up? (Yes, I know I can probably google up like a bajillion resources on this exact thing, but I’m a weirdo and am attempting to bring the (non-toxic/shitty) social back to social media)

      I’ve been considering setting myself up a little NAS server since I finally dumped Spotify and am considering doing the same with video streaming too (besides Tubi, anyway), but having one just for mp3/light video streaming seems like a bit of a waste and having local repos of useful sites might be a fun side project to help justify it to myself lol

        I went with a Synology NAS (I know, the foss crowd will probably crucify me) which really keeps the setup effort to a minimum. You put in the HDDs, setup your pool/volume, install Plex (or jellyfin), upload your media and you’re basically good to go.

        For the Wikipedia part, it’s surprisingly simple. I just used Kiwix and grabbed a copy, it’s only about 100gb or so. You can also use it to get offline copies of other stuff, like Project Gutenberg.

    Youtube videos. I used to use youtube-dl exclusively, and then that stopped working, and I’ve gradually been sucked back into just using the website. But there’s a text file with a list of URLs I’ve been meaning to grab for posterity… and it’s getting kinda fat.

      Perhaps instead of using youtube-dl or yt-dlp, you may enjoy some client such as freetube more, as it has a lot of the benefits of those tools, but without ads, and with sponsorblock/thumbnail correction, and other nice customizations. It also enables you to create playlists and whatnot.

      You can hit a button to download directly from a video’s page as well, though I think that feature needs some love from the developers (you don’t get a loading bar on download).

    Probably forums I use to solve problems (stackoverflow and all the stack exchange ones), offline games, guides (for programming, sysadmin, building tables, cooking, travel and repair ones…), documentation for every software and tool I use or might use. Wikipedia is also a must, music too. I have a media server for my music but keeping it up to date with every release is hard work that I haven’t started (yet).

      This is basically my answer. I would wish my NAS was more full. I already have a pretty (imo) decent homelab with a lot of shit on it but in a “post internet” situation it would get old after a few months or maybe years depending on how fast I watched/read/listened

      So tv/movies/music/books/comics and manga. Just all the media
