So this thing is based on Kiwix, which is based on the ZIM file format.

In the meanwhile, wikipedia ships wikidata, which uses RDF dumps (and probably 8x less compressed than it should be).

There is room for a third option leveraging commercial columnar database research.

I like the idea of an LLM that acts as a public knowledge base. But that doomsday framing on the site is pretty annoying.

I like this idea! I don't need the LLM bits, and want it to run on an old Android tablet I have lying around. Can anyone recommend similar software where I can get wikipedia / street maps / useful tutorial videos nicely packaged for offline use?

Anyone thought about using a Steam Deck with this? Or explored the concept of a "Nomad Deck"?

Missing a chance to note (or configure for?) installation on a Raspberry Pi --- that'd make an affordable option to leave powered down, but ready to go in an EMI-shield/Faraday Cage.

Really clever targeting of a niche. I’d be interested to hear if they find success!

turns out I have the same setup (sans local LLMs - they are pretty useless on 2018 cards) but in Obsidian :)

whatever I think might be useful later, I capture through the web clipper extension. [0]

Great premise for a science fiction story

So how does that work?

I was expecting the game from my childhood and was disappointed.
