of course, neofeudal lords are looking to #wikipedia and #internetArchive with arson in their hearts, as they always do with the great libraries
between this and the web continuing to enshittify with AI slop and critical mass of advertising, it's probably time to start thinking about things in terms of offline-first
make local copies of resources that are important, get your personal content off of cloud providers, and archive everything you can
old phones, random flash drives, unused laptops - all of that can be put to good use as self-sovereign libraries. and if you have the financial means, seriously consider building or investing in a NAS
we have plenty of tools to make this possible:
kiwix is an offline reader for Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, and several other online sources - there's even a method to turn a raspi into a hotspot that serves the archived content: https://kiwix.org/en/how-to-set-up-kiwix-hotspot/
yt-dlp is a program that you can use to download content from youtube, including full channels: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
the Internet Archive also has a command line utility to bulk download content: https://archive.org/developers/internetarchive/cli.html
and take a look at #archiveBox - a self-hosted project that takes in urls and downloads relevant content while stripping out all of the extra shit you don't need: https://archivebox.io/
