“In her diary, she wrote that people have taken care of her all her life and now she had the opportunity to take care of other people,” Vicki Perez said of her daughter. “Her biggest concern was taking care of her Soldiers.”

Don't let them erase Emily Perez's memory.

2nd Lt. Emily Perez was the first African American cadet Brigade Command Sgt. Major of the West Point military academy. Emily was the first African American female officer to die in combat in Iraq, she was the first female graduate of West Point to die in the Iraq War and she was the first West Point graduate of the “Class of 9/11” to die in combat.

I can't get these images of fascists trying to erase our history and present, and we shouldn't let the normies forget. Maybe a "Is this what you voted for?" collage is in order.

Don't let them erase Emily Perez's memory.

'More than brick and mortar:" DC begins removing "Black Lives Matter' plaza near the White House 2of 20 Tears roll down the face of Starlette Thomas of Bowie, Md., as she holds a chunk of pavement from the Black Lives Matter mural, Monday, March 10, 2025, as the mural begins to be demolished in Washington. "I needed to be here to bear witness," says Thomas, who was present at the 2020 George Floyd protests. "For me the Black Lives Matter sign etched in stone was a declaration of somebodyness and to watch it be undone in this way was very hurtful. To walk away with a piece of that, it means it's not gone. It's more than brick and mortar." (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)

I don't get how someone with lots of technical knowledge would think that an offline #LLM is a better solution to internet censorship than fucking #Kiwix . You know you can just, download all of #StackOverflow onto any device, right? And that it's basically the same data the LLMs are trained on? Except you won't get hallucinations?

Thanks, Tom.

I see that #Wikipedia itself links to #torrent files:

meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_d

I'm torrenting now, because, with my woeful Internet connection, I don't stand a chance of downloading a Wikipedia dump file otherwise. It helps that the downloadable files are compressed, too.

#Kiwix seems to be available directly from Fedora Linux, so I won't need to download it from elsewhere.

Tiny Apocalyptic Time Tip 🌐✨

If you too feel uneasy about
the state of the world,
and you too worry about losing access to one of the greatest knowledge treasure of the internet,

Know that you can download an
offline copy of Wikipedia!

Here's how 📚👇

1. Download the free and open source software Kiwix (this will be your reader): kiwix.org/en/applications/

2. If you want smaller versions of Wikipedia, you can download them within Kiwix.

Within the app, go to "Categories" in the menu on the left, then browse to a topic/version you want. Scroll to the bottom for Wikipedia mini, for example. Click on it then click "Download" on the right :neocat_book:

3. Once you have downloaded a database, click on "Opened" on the left > database you want to search > "Open Main Page" on the right.

4. You can use the Search field on the upper-right to find topics like on online Wikipedia! 🔍

5. If you want the full English version of Wikipedia (110GB), you might want to download it from the torrent file instead. Install a torrent client of your choice (I use Transmission).

Then, go to this page, click on "Download - 109.89 GB" blue button on the first result (size may vary overtime), then select "Torrent file": library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&ca

6. Once you have the torrent file, open it with your torrent client to start the download. This is BIG! Be patient! 📦

7. Once the download is completed, open your Wikipedia `.zim` file with Kiwix!

8. Magic! 📖✨

Extra Tip: You can download many other awesome knowledge files from the Kiwix Library! Personally, I also got the iFixit knowledge base! ⚒️ :blobcatrainbow:

Just for those who don't know what Infoseepage is talkn bout there is:

#Kiwix is a project to make large #information #repositories available in compact #offline forms - kiwix.org/en/ in various languages.

Several of their downloadable #libraries are subsets and snapshots of #Wikipedia. library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&q=

The "flagship" all-six-million-en_US article module of Wikipedia is ~110GB and I seed this torrent.
