Wikipedia has been attacked before by countries with censorious reputations. The Trump administration is inclined to join the club.

      No need

      Install the free offline reader software from here

      https://kiwix.org/en/

      Then grab what content you want from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/kiwix/zim/

      Here’s English Wikipedia, with pictures from 2024 https://dumps.wikimedia.org/kiwix/zim/wikipedia/wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01.zim

      names with maxi have all the pictures names with mini few pictures and abridged content names with nopic have no pictures and abridged content

      if it says science or basketball, it’s just things flagged as science or things flagged as basketball.

      Got my snapshot from Jan.

      It’s only 20gb.

      You need an offline viewer. That’s a snap /flat hub install. Kiwix I believe

          Yes, they’re are different versions. Maxi is the 110GB one, there is also a nopic version that is quite a bit lighter.
