Not enough onion flavor here. I just downloaded a full copy of Wikipedia last week in case the trumpanzees go after it.

Hey, don't insult chimps like that!

Not chimps, chumps.

I did that in February... after my copy from early January got damaged.

Been lowkey prepping for a while.

I've been keeping a copy of the Zim for ages just waiting for doom :)

good time for local copies of books/movies/tv

good time to have a decent stock of long-term food staples.

keeping a copy of some LLMs around isn't bad either; they're not great, but they are bang for the buck (compression wise) FULL of data from all over the net, you just need to be careful and not just trust it openly.

I can't say i'm happy that it seems like it might be useful in my lifespan.
