  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Probably a good idea to go see how much storage will be necessary... (slrpnk.net)

    Does lemmy have any communities dedicated to archiving/hoarding data?

    Do you recommend adding anything else to it?

    For instance, OSM maps?

    I've been thinking about running the Kiwix app + OSMAnd on an old Android phone and auto updating it once a year.

    [–] clif@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

    That's a good question (and good idea) that I hadn't really thought about past a collection of ZIMs. The one I built advertises it's own AP SSID that anyone can connect to and then access the ZIMs that are served via kiwix-serve on HTTP/80. That is, I wanted a single, low power, headless device that multiple people could use simultaneously via wifi and browser rather than a personal device.

    I hadn't really thought about other helpful services past that. I mean, we've got a (wee) server so why not use it? I like the idea of OSM and their website is open source but has a lot of dependencies :

    openstreetmap-website is a Ruby on Rails application that uses PostgreSQL as its database, and has a large number of dependencies for installation

    A fully-functional openstreetmap-website installation depends on other services, including map tile servers and geocoding services, that are provided by other software. The default installation uses publicly-available services to help with development and testing.

    I wonder how hard it would be to host everything it needs locally/offline... and what that would do to power consumption : )

    Thanks for the idea - something to look into, for sure.

    I might beat you to it. I've got Kiwix running in docker, just did a PR to the kiwix-zim-updater so it can run in Docker on a cron schedule next to the server, and have spun those up with Karakeep (self-hosted web archive I use for bookmarking).

    Right now I'm adding a ZIM list feature to the updater to list available ZIMs by language, and then I'll move on to OSM.

    You'll definitely beat me to it : D

    Do me a favor and tag me when you post your how to?

    [–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

    I will do my best to remember hah

    Saw your comment on mine and finally saw this one.

    I'm gonna take a look at openstreetmap-tile-server and see about running that since if all has gone to shit, who knows if GPS will work. Least it's almost like a paper map and can be auto-updated as long as we still have internet. Quick Gist someone wrote here.

    [–] clif@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

    Yeah, I feel the same in that it's assuredly doable, but how hard is it?

    If you're able to dig into and make some progress, please tag me because I'm interested but don't have much time these days.
