It’s a good thing that lots of people have full backups of wikipedia.
I saved a copy for myself at the start of 2025. It took about 23GB of space if I’m remembering right. Maybe I’ll burn a blu-ray copy for long term storage

Wikipedia isn’t important because of its data. Rather because of the fact it is continuously updated, extended, and fixed at a gigantic scale.

If Wikipedia ever dies, its information will lose relevance by the day. After a decade or two without a similar-scale replacement, will anyone even care?

Imagine having a collection of Wikipedia backups and disclosing that on a first date.

What are we reading today, babe? 2020q1, the Covid hoaxes? Yeah, that’s the shit.
