I now browse Wikipedia. Please don’t screw me over Wikipedia, I donated five bucks to one of your nags once.

For anyone who doesn’t know, you can download Wikipedia and host it yourself! I got the top 50k version (~7G) on my RPI3 and now no matter what fuckery they pull or the government pulls, I’ve got a pretty decent source of general information.

You run a server on a machine inside your house, it can be any computer on your local LAN/wifi, but it’s obviously best if it’s a machine that’s always on. I use a Raspberry Pi 3B+ (these can be had for about $50) that I have plugged into my wifi router and it’s running a little program called Kiwix-Server (free and open source). You download the WP file (it’s a huge single file with a .zim extension) and point the server to it and boom.
