    Using Kiwix you can keep older versions of Wikipedia locally on your computer, so if the online version reaches an unusable state, you can still view the articles as they used to be. Of course, it won’t have information about anything that happened after that point, but it could still be useful for some purposes.

      Exactly the reason I set up mine. Couldn’t be more important at this time!

    Are the Epstein files ever going to be released, properly?

      I assume that was a rhetorical question ?

      If not: They document illegal behaviour by billionaires. Of course not.

      They only way they get fully released is if the US has a revolution and uses the ancient French solution on the 1%

        🎵 It should also be noted a bottle of it was found
        In the clenched dead hand of the white John Brown
        Everytime it went 'round new people would find it
        They would take their essence, put it in and grind it
        In Russia, Africa, Asia too
        Mao Tse-Tung made the flavors new 🎶

    I don’t want to distract from the article itself, but on a generic level, The Signpost is worth reading for anyone interested in the “behind-the-scenes” of the project. They published another article about this a couple weeks ago.
