I am not a prepper per se. But I certainly have prepper sympathies. Maybe the sort where, if I thought I could get it past my partner, I could see myself spending many thousands digging out a bunker in the back garden and filling it with canned goods and a year's supply of drinking water, fuel, and toilet roll. And a toilet. Of course.
But I am also a damned computer nerd, so when I saw Project NOMAD pop up I knew I had to get in on it. Project NOMAD (Node for Offline Media, Archives, and Data) is an entirely offline repository of knowledge, giving you access to a vast library of otherwise net-based goodness without any network availability necessary.
Y'know, just in case the grid goes down for reasons.
I've gone big with my install and so, even before downloading the entire US curriculum Khan channel, I've got a setup that's around 500 GB in size. Though that is the entirety of Wikipedia and a ton of survivalist and medical text, too. As well as a detailed Google Maps-esque download covering the entire of the UK. Though I did have to go to Open Labs to download that specific pmtiles file myself as Project NOMAD only gives you the option to download US regions during the setup process.
