In this thread: dorks using it as an opportunity to brag about their large storage epeens.

But then what happened to my 120 petabyte network attached storage, host to every episode of Inuyasha in multiple releases, languages, and resolutions?! My mother would surely notice having space again in ~~her~~ our basement!

You should make this a writing prompt

Wikipedia

• personnal files that are stored in the Cloud
• Wikipedia
• Linux and Raspberry ISO, and some libs/tools packages, sources and docs
• sandbox games and rogue likes
• wiki for these games
• as much porn as I can download with the remaining storage available

Unless it's a fascist government, I don't care about ebooks, mp3, movies or TV show. I'll use books, vinyls and DVD.

Not very much with my slow connection.

All my movies and TV and wikipedia.

Ultra high-fidelity version of « Sandstorm » and the same copy of the Vern Troyer porn movie with virus that nuked my gf’s computer.

Hah, I've been collecting all my needs offline for a while now. Because companies keep turning to subscriptions and other ##. I'm pretty sure my archive of apps is under 100GB

5 years? Hm, time to get some stuff from the 90s, when the internet was a timed luxury, so plenty of emulators and roms, they won't take much space. Videos are out, some porn will have to be static pics, some as gifs.

Also, gotta have Factorio, Palworld, dwarf fortress

Start running wires and make a intranet with my neighbors. WiFi would be easier, but would the internet police be looking for signals?

Would Netflix go back to mailing physical disks? Would I have to go buy albums? Weird. You could buy of borrow the physical media and add it to your intranet.

I'd probably download a couple TV series and some music. I'd also get software to make sure I can copy and store everything.

Contact info for all my bills. Everything else is ephemeral so may as well wean off it now.

Sounds like a good chance to catch up with my backlog of games.

I would check so I can play everything I want offline then just get as much as I can.

Well obviously I'd download 100 GBs of more RAM.

But uh, for serious?

DL everything I'd need to build Debian from bare metal... probably some select material from the IA, basic survival stuff, info on how to set up a solar power system... and all the I2P software and source code i can find.

If the Net goes down, but the physical hardware still exists, cables, radios, wifi cards... build your own Net.

Download a zillion movies and whole tv series (in highly compressed versions), a zillion music albums and playlists, the 25 GB downloadable version of Wikipedia, a ton of emulators and game roms, and a bunch of apps covering everything i might wanna do like music creation software.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet:

Project Gutenberg.

It's pretty much all copyright-less (?) books. About 40GB.

I'd probably also torrent a shitton of less-than-legal books. Mostly because they're copyrighted, not because the books themselves are illegal. I would survive the rest of my life on books. Maybe a few GB of music - I'd need some background noise if I were to study.

Some free OS' like Debian and FreeBSD, and their manual. Maybe some magazine about both?

Is file compression allowed?

E.g: 100 GB compressed, or uncompressed?

I still have to work right?

This reminds me, there were a lot of sd shows that were around 60megs a pop.

That’s a lot of shows. Just sayin

*Redbox throws hands up in frustration

Lots of tools and games that are open ended and not contrived as well as the obligatory Wikipedia download.

I have a 100% remote job a few hundred km away. Even if you made the exception for remote work, my job would basically be pointless because our company operates entirely in the online world.

I also wouldn't be able to Skype or even email my aging family back in the US.

Also, in very rural Japan, online shopping is a huge saver of time and money. I'd also have to watch OTA Japanese tv which mostly sucks.

I was thinking just various learning materials, but I think you can just shoot me instead sometime before the bank repo's my house

A couple ROMs, some banger songs and one hyrule warriors legends.
(Had about 700 or so hours I'm the original over a couple of years l).
The internet goomg down is not gonna be as bad as one thinks, at least not for the individual.

Well, I'd be down like 60TB, so getting to keep 100GB of that isn't much different than losing it all, might as well not bother with it and just wait out the 5 years and start over.

A bunch of e-books and all the SNES roms I can grab.
