  • The easiest way by far is downloading an existing dump from kiwix

    Per example wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2024-06.zim is only 54GB since it only contains text. Then via docker you could use this compose file where you have your .zim files in the wikis volume:

    services:
      kiwix:
        image: ghcr.io/kiwix/kiwix-serve
        container_name: kiwix_app
        command: '*'
        ports:
          - '8080:8080'
        volumes:
          - "/wikis:/data"
        restart: always
    

    Theorically you can actually one of the wikipedia database dumps with mediawiki but I don’t known of any easy plug and play guide








  • 4-2-1-1 for me I guess 🫣 or 4-2-2?

    Two copies at home, synced daily, one of them in an external drive that I like to refer as the emergency grab and run copy lol

    One at a family member synced weekly and manually every time I visit.

    All of those three copies are always within a 10 kilometer radius in a valley overseen by a volcano so…

    One partial copy of the so-critical-would-cry-if-Iost data is synced every few days to a backblaze bucket.




  • I bought my Pixel 8a like a month ago for 380 euros and the first thing I did was install GrapheneOS

    I only stayed on the stock system long enough to pull all the updates and make sure all the hardware worked just fine so I don’t know what I’m missing out versus stock ROM but so far it works absolutely perfect.

    I compiled the system and kernel myself since it makes sense when you are installing a security/privacy centered OS and it instructions worked without a hiccup.

    I have three users for compartimentation in my setup.

    • Owner user only has source available apps compiled by myself barring Firefox because its a pain. I run Shelter to create a work profile where I have the sandboxed Play Services for some critical proprietary apps that I need notifications from.

    • Games user is self explanatory. It’s not allowed to run any applications in the background and I am just there logged on my google account so I can get some of the subscriptions I pay.

    • “Swamp” user. It’s not allowed to run any applications in the backgrouns either and I just use it for bottom of the barrel apps like Discord, Instagram… to stay in touch with some irl friends.
