The Internet
I'm in a state that's affected by the OS age verification laws going into place in 2027. I don't give that information to any website except for my bank and for tax purposes. My phone doesn't have my actual date of birth, nor does google or facebook. I don't trust any of them with my data. But with the law taking affect I think I might lose all access to the internet.
I have decided to make backups of key websites containing either knowledge or entertainment that I might miss in a world without internet.
Here are my backups so far:
1. cplusplus.com's reference pages (using wget)
2. Wikipedia all text and images (early 2025 version compressed it's about 120 GB)
3. Have backed up several of my favorite Linux iso install files.
4. currently fetching all of gutenberg.org
What websites do you recommend backing up?
Extra points if you think it might be "at risk" some time in the near future.
Also points if it's sub GB in final size, this project is very tedious with sub 1Mb connection speeds. Some quick "wins" would be very welcome.
