    I did already, tried the XOWA client to run a local copy on my PC. Wasn’t as easy as I hoped but it worked.

    Planning to get a couple of USBs stashed away with full copies of Wikipedia and the reader app for knowledge security. You can fit the whole thing with a working installation onto a 128GB USB or less. My install dir was about 69GB total.

        That’s a good point, that is possible but not absolutely certain. I could probably get a smaller version of the wikipedia dump to fit on a BD-R disc but not 69GB.

        USB drive or SD card archival might require a 6-month maintenance routine of inserting into a computer and verifying the files are still present etc.
