1·7 days agoI used to do a ton of seeding on isos but it really took its tool on the old harddrive I did it on. I kinda stopped for a long time. I used to do it for the origonal Ubuntu isos like 8.04 or something like that. And puppy linux :)…
Ive never heard of apt-mirror, thats interesting. Ill have to take a look. thanks!
I made mine into a laptop. Its decent at doing most things.
Im having a heck of a time finding material. Any recommendations?
Im downloading this version of wikipedia: https://browse.library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_all_mini_2025-12
I only have about 100GB left-ish so I dont want to get a huge amount. I might just get ebooks and throw those on there.
I think a good test is to shut off your house internet and see what things you still need. Like actually disconnect the router and only go off your own infa. What can you get done, what things do you still need?
For me I found out:
- All my software development packages, linux isos, etc… are ALL online. If I was unable to get on certain websites, I would be SOL in doing most of my software development. Even simple stuff like installing via apt would be VERY hard.
- While I have OSM (open street maps), I dont have address info saved anywhere.
- Most of my mesh stuff (meshtastic) has online tools for all the builds and deploys. Meaning if the website goes down im SOL getting new nodes out in the wild.
- Entertainment is pretty much covered, since we dont have anything streaming anyways. We try to keep things DRM free to begin with so books/audio/movies can go to different places without worry.
- Radio still works, so news isnt really a big deal.
- I need to get a backup of some encyclopedias and/or get wikipedia somewhere hosted. That would be fun and informative.
Im really really tempted to delete my linkedin. Its never got me a job in my life, but I did notice a lot of people look at my page before I got a couple in the past.
Its not a very good system. Its just more professional facebook with less subtlety about people looking at your page. And they lock EVERYTHING down that is useful in a paywall.
