Good topic. I have an extensive Kiwix collection.

Kiwix allows you to run a local intranet w/ data from many sources... for example, you run a Raspberry Pi w/ Kiwix installed and the entirety of WikiPedia [80gig]... Kiwix creates a Wifi hotspot - you connect and can browse/search all of WikiPedia.

There are TONS of other 'ZIM files' that you can grab... for example, and Ubuntu or Arch Linux one - explaining ALL about those topics. 

Or, you can download the ENTIRE StackExchange for topics... its insane.

I have a dedicated Raspberry Pi 4 w/ Kiwix installed and an external 2TB HDD stocked with tons of topics. Theres even like... gardening or automotive repair - yer only limit is the space you can dedicate to yer bugout data box. 

Mine is all installed in a little Pelican case - and no matter what I'll have a Wifi hotspot with a lot of data if shit hits the fan... anyone else use Kiwix or ZIMs??
