I thought this was going to be about setting up packet radio and making offline backups of Wikipedia, for when the world tears itself apart less than a year from now ๐
Back in the day, I liked the idea of a piratebox like: https://piratebox.cc/ but the setup was too much. LibraryBox was the successor and it died as well.
Ive never tried it, but Butterbox looks interesting. If anyone knows any good backup systems let me know!
Right now, I just maintain a couple of yunohost setups because its easy and I dont have to put in a huge amount of work to get federated services up and running.
I have an upcoming article about this but: I just slapped together a older desktop machine with a large HDD and made it network accessible via my local network. Add Kiwix and a few other things and you're most of the way there. The difficulty is getting people to use it.
