Unfortunately we had a small outage this weekend, but this is a good opportunity to remind everyone that you can download entire copies of #Wikipedia and other freely licensed projects for #offline use via #Kiwix!

Check out @kiwix - https://www.kiwix.org and set it up on your smartphone or laptop or boat so you can access free knowledge wherever you go.

@Alice Carroll @Wikipedia About 100GB apparently! https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&q=&category=wikipedia (But a lot less if you only want English articles.)

At the moment I cannot load the Kiwix website, but I'm on mobile, and unfortunately Firefox nigtlyhas some issues, I believe.
But nonetheless, you're awesome! Free knowledge rules!
Thank you all for your hard work!
(Two beers and some retrowave music opens up my speaker hole, I would say :D)
I'll check out Kiwix when I get home from my desktop.
