[Hypothetical] The internet is getting shut down for 5 years. You have 100 GB of storage available, you have 24 hours to prepare. What do you download? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Lets say you live in a world where the world government has decided people are getting too addicted to the internet and ordered the internet to be shut down for 5 years. The 100 GB of storage is all you have (excluding essential system files for your Operating System). You have 24 hours before the internet is getting shut down. What do you download?

Probably all the top huggingface weights, as they are basically the sweetened condensed internet.

Lines of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" in any format that can fill up 100GB.

I’ve been meaning to download the Beats In Space Radio mixes from their archive so I’ll just add that

Save just one Blu-ray backup. 😭 My NAS storage will suddenly be unavailable too or no?

My ISP recently gave us notice of an extended period of planned downtime so I already gave this some thought.

yt-dlp is a godsend, especially if you reduce the quality. I just set it going on an old playlist for some YouTubers I enjoy. You can find a lot of old comedy on YouTube too which tends to be in playlists.

Other than that, none of classic Doctor Who is HD so doesn't take up too much space. BBC iPlayer works with yt-dlp too with the right settings.
