[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?

The 4K Blu-ray remux of Andor Season 1 is 230 GB. This new government might be shutting down the internet, but I doubt that they're monsters, and so surely wouldn't expect me to re-watch it in any lower quality. Fortunately, I've worked out that the Aldanhi arc and the last 2 episodes are 102 GB, so it should be manageable if some recaps are cut.

For myself? A midi-file library for music (1gb is easily tens of thousands of songs), some audio porn (video takes too much space), a whole bunch of E-Books (tabletop rpg, science, literature etc.), compilers for C, a bunch of core python packages etc.

Meanwhile I'd also head over to my university to warn staff of the impending doom such that they can spread the word to other institutions and start rescuing as much data as possible to non-digital formats.

Stock up on crypto memes.

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?
