J'ai testé Kiwix, un logiciel libre qui permet de compulser Wikipédia et d'autres sites, comme Stack Overflow, hors-ligne, en utilisant le format de fichier zim. C'est un beau projet!
D'ailleurs, Framasoft s'y était associé en 2012, et le one laptop per child également, toute une époque!

I can't get these images of fascists trying to erase our history and present, and we shouldn't let the normies forget. Maybe a "Is this what you voted for?" collage is in order.

Don't let them erase Emily Perez's memory.

Many thanks to @lavaeolus and everyone else #SafeGuardingResearch from the #WhiteHouseWash for making sure that Emily Perez's story lives on.

Thanks to @BrianJopek for bringing her inspiring life to my attention.

This is also a good time to remind you that you can have your own copy of #Wikipedia easily with #Kiwix & view the downloaded ZIM file.

Finally watched some tutorials and got myself off the ground with Nomad Sculpt! Which is funny, since my first project is a flightless kiwi. :3

Working on this lil guy as a potential enclosure for a #RaspberryPi running #Kiwix

#Kiwix is awesome, running on a #RaspberryPi . Using their web-server, I'm reading a Gutenberg #ebook, "Aesop's fables", on my phone (and earlier, from my laptop).

I've been running the #Kiwix seeder scripts on a small seedbox (~4 TB) for a month now. It's been a charm.

Can't wait to get more leechers!

Kiwix Server is awesome !

You can have many documentation, books and even Wikipedia... on a local server.

Kiwix software is available here : https://kiwix.org/

And a bunch of ZIM files (format used by kiwix) on https://library.kiwix.org/

You can test my personal instance running on a home smolserver (atom cpu) on https://zim.pollux.casa/

This is a wonderful thread about the awesome power of #Kiwix ( https://kiwix.org/en/ ) to provide a local offline copy of #Wikipedia (and so much more). It’s a powerful tool of #resilience amidst uncertainty.

You can download a zim of #projectGutenberg and access it offline or share it on a wifi router that is not otherwise connected to the internet using #kiwix

Video: Kiwix: Offline Zugriff auf Wikipedia und mehr!

Mit Kiwix kannst du Wikipedia und viele andere Wikis sowie TED-Videos offline nutzen! In diesem Video zeige ich dir, wie du Kiwix auf deinem Linux-System und Android installierst.

I think this is enough #kiwix

I don't get how someone with lots of technical knowledge would think that an offline #LLM is a better solution to internet censorship than fucking #Kiwix . You know you can just, download all of #StackOverflow onto any device, right? And that it's basically the same data the LLMs are trained on? Except you won't get hallucinations?

Mit Kiwix kannst du die Wikipedia und viele andere Wikis sowie TED-Videos offline verfügbar machen!

In meinem neuen Video zeige ich dir, wie du Kiwix auf deinem Linux-System und unter Android installierst.

Wir laden unser erstes Wiki im ZIM-Format herunter und machen es sogar mit dem eingebauten Server in unserem lokalen Netzwerk verfügbar.

Screwing around with @kiwix on my PC some more, it turns out the linux desktop client can run a local server to serve up content, and it doesn't look tooooo bad in emacs. I also discovered there's at least one python package for interacting with zim files, so now I'm wondering how hard it would be to get an emacs zim-mode going...

A learning experience for me, so I thought I'd share my knowledge.

Title: How I Host My Own #Kiwix Archive

Subtitle: My own little corner of the internet dedicated to keeping information free, open and accessible.

I now have my own fully search-able mirror of #Kiwix hosted on my home server, including #Wikipedia. You can check it out at:

https://kiwix.marcusadams.me

Content may change as time goes on since I literally "just" got it set up and working, and you should definitely prioritize the original resources and donate to the folks hosting it. But IF some of these resources become unavailable from their original source, feel free to use my mirror as long as it's up.

Today I installed the @kiwix mobile app on my phone and downloaded Wikipedia mini with it (7.4 GB). I downloaded in the background and it took less than an hour (and that's through VPN).

Now I have offline Wikipedia on my phone as well. It's that easy.

Is anyone using #kiwix on mac?

I can't find any way to specify the download directory!

Renders the whole thing useless!

(I want to download #wikipedia to an external drive)

There are github issues suggesting that changing download directory is available in settings, but AFAICT it is not.
