Ya tonight Im gonna start torrenting one of the backups. I don’t normally seed more than 2x ratio but I think this one will be set to trickle seed and stay on for at least 10x
Yeah, the entire compressed thing is only ~40GB if you exclude media like photos, audio files, videos, etc, so it’s surprisingly easy to keep a local backup. You need some specialized software to be able to read the compressed data without fully unzipping it, but the software is FOSS so anyone can use it. Even if you include images, the file is only like 150GB, which is easy for anyone with a NAS.
We must protect wikipedia, they’re our only safe place right now.
