Does lemmy have any communities dedicated to archiving/hoarding data?

I would love to have a small Wikipedia browser that can survive the apocalypse.

I've got the full 120 GB Wikipedia dump running in Kiwix on a Raspberry Pi Zero. Works great (surprisingly)

E-ink display, mini keyboard

Have been using a Minimal Phone for a few months now which has both of those. Can connect to the Pi easily.

multiple ways/ports to transfer info,

Add a USB-C hub (or add a hub to the Pi) and you're set

All wrapped up in a heavy duty equipment case that's able to survive a building collapses and burns in an earthquake, that's shielded from EMP.

And that's where I'm limited - My 3D printer can only do so much lol. πŸ˜†

I've been working on a side project this week with a Orange Pi Zero 2W (Pi Zero "clone" but with better specs). It's got the Kiwix+Wikipedia like my older Pi (described above) plus a bunch of other neat stuff. It's kind of a combination travel router, portable web app server, party box, and extremely over-engineered bluetooth speaker all-in-one. Hoping to put together a show-and-tell post about it when I get the last of it squared away.
