Preparing for the war and full internet shut down : r/DataHoarder

This is a sub that aims at bringing data hoarders together to share their passion with like minded people. I live in Russia and since summer of 2025 internet gets shut down more and more often, more and more problems with connection, less and less VPNs work, even my apolitical relatives started expressing dissatisfaction with censorship and the fact that they can’t access a lot of sites they want to. Five years ago I would consider myself paranoid and crazy, two years ago I would say it is a good practice but mostly useless but right now I think it would be stupid not to make your own local library of at least some of the necessary things just in case. I am a musician and mostly interested in music and books so I’m already in a process of making 44.1 kHz / 16 bit FLAC collection but that’s about it. I definitely want to download wikipedia archive and maybe even different manuals at some point too. Only piece of tech im using for this rn is my laptop (2024 Macbook Pro) so I want to buy
