      There is also apps like Aard2 that allow you to have all of wikipedia (no images duh) offline on your phone. github.com/itkach/aard2-android

      Its a general dictionary type app so it supports things other than wikipedia too. There is a link to the dictionary files in the readme on that github, but it can be confusing.

      If you have 23GB of space and your storage isnt fat32 formatted: …halifax.rwth-aachen.de/…/enwiki20250801-slob/

      If it is fat32 then you gotta download it in 4GB chunks: …rwth-aachen.de/…/enwiki20250801-vol-slob/

      The downside to this is that i (you?) often want very recent fresh info from wikipedia and this obviously doesnt work well for that because it doesnt support updating in a way where you only have to download the changes. If somebody knows of an app that supports this, where you only have to download a couple MB of changes every day to keep the entire thing up to date let me know.

        sweet.

        alas, internet friend, i’m old enuf to have had printed (gasp) encyclopedias purchased new in 1985, so i can cope with static data just fine.

        i am curious, nonetheless - i see these are dated pretty recently. are these ftps updated with some kind of regularity so i can continue to dl them up until all knowledge gets banned for being too inclusive and woke and something something?
