The one database/file/zip to save humanity, what is it?

Show Lemmy the downloadable URL of a Database or AI you know of so we can have a local backup copy that will improve the resilience and availability of Human Knowledge.

Given the state of AI being Corporatized I think we could definitely use links for whatever comes closest to a fully usable Open Source, fully self-contained downloadable AI.

    Haven’t heard about the Gutenberg project before, seems pretty neat!

    I’d probably add repair.wiki to a list of things I’d archive, although some of that content is picture heavy so not as easily compressible as Wikipedia

    There was a project that allows you to download wikipedia and some other online resources into an easy to search & navigate UI, think it was called Kiwi something but can’t remember. It was targeted at regions with poor internet coverage

      Yup Kiwix, an app available for Android, iOS, Linux and possibly other OSs too.

      Project Gutenberg has been a thing for a couple decades. I think they are starting to also create free audiobooks from books they have in their collection. There is an TTS AI service that I checked out a week ago (play.ht)and that does voicing very realistically from the text that I gave it and I might spring spend $40 for a month of that service and build some audiobooks. The paid version gives access to more voices and will do 1 million characters of text a year.

      Or if anyone knows a good open source online alternative, I’m all ears. I’d prefer to go that route but did not give anything that was a very good solution.
