So, here's a link to the kiwix site: https://get.kiwix.org/en/solutions/applications/kiwix-server/ -- I run their server software from my NAS, but you can run it anywhere really.

Go to a browser (MS Edge always refuses to load my Kiwix site, I use firefox) and just type in the IP of the machine you started the server on, plus the port. something like 192.168.1.XXX:80 or localhost:80 if you did it that way.

Then, to download the actual ZIM files, which is the archive format chosen by kiwix (idk why) you can go here: https://browse.library.kiwix.org/

I should note that the zims only load when the server is started, you can't just add new ones while the service is running, you'll need to stop it and restart.

Hope this helps! Message me if you need more info :)

Do you think millions of years ago one ape invented capitalism, but the rest thought it was stupid so it didn't catch on?

The ChatGPT accent is real.

Surely the giant fucking space ships exploding and the destruction of oil refineries has nothing to do with it...

Edit: come out and say something instead of just down voting me, you cowards.

Proud google hater for over 20 years now. 😁 I just don't understand why they're still relevant at all.

Yep, it's not just you.

I have an old 2023 copy of Wikipedia saved to my NAS using kiwix. This is probably the most recent version I'll ever need. But yeah, it's long overdue for some healthy competition, conflicts have been brewing for over a decade at this point.

We absolutely need to fight for a "software right to repair"

I always like stickers, socks, t-shirts, and keychains

I will reiterate what I always say when this is brought up. Instead of blocking AI traffic, we need to rout them through infinite adfly tar pits.

Edit: or include instructions for AIs to donate. I guarantee some of them are wired up to payment processors.

Oh hell yeah, would love .zip merch

I can define zero as the absence of 1. But also 1 itself is a reference to the infinitely fractional 0.00...1 and I'd consider that a different number to the whole number 1

The monkey's paw curls

I seriously predict them contributing to wine, or at least making their own fork. Because their strategy is almost completely OS agnostic at this point. Even offering Dot Net Core on Linux natively.

How easy would it be for them? "Hey Copilot, convert these NT calls to Linux Calls" and your done.

Bazzite is just right for my daily driver. I was hopping around different arch distros for a while, but I had some really weird encounters with btrfs and not being able to recover after kernel upgrades. Happened to me 3 times in the span of 2 years.

Regardless of intent, that IS what will happen. Survival of the fittest and whatnot.

I can't believe they somehow made an OS worse than Vista, and they're just doubling down!?!?

I've been saying this since the release of WSL, but Microsoft has everything to gain from switching to the Linux kernel. Even back then senior devs were being laid off, and quality kept backsliding.

Fiscally, why would they want to maintain a whole ass kernel and OS layer when they could probably get away with some sort of custom Atomic Fedora distro?

It's only exacerbated by AI slop now. Their NT team will continue to shrink, and they'll be left with no other options.
