Well, I'd be down like 60TB, so getting to keep 100GB of that isn't much different than losing it all, might as well not bother with it and just wait out the 5 years and start over.

I would buy a ton of storage devices as secretly as possible and hide them, hoping the government doesn't notice. Then I'd use the drives to make a sneakernet type situation.

A bunch of e-books and all the SNES roms I can grab.

Offline wikipedia, original Finnish “Hobitit” as the movie cut, both seasons of the original Polish “Wiedzmin”, latest versions of the usual rust crates, especially everything bevy related, so that I have plenty to do for years even without internet. Probably some sort of copy of stack overflow too, or sections of it, if possible. Offline version for docs.rs, also offline documentation for lua, react, dotnet etc, that I could foresee maybe needing during those 5 years. Reaper DAW with some of my most trusted plugins. No heavyweight synths or vsti though, have to trust people getting more into actual instruments without internet and me being able to record them. Latest Krita, Blender and Obsidian. The most essential plugins, brushes, scripts etc for those too. Starting to close in on the 100gb I guess, so the rest Id dedicate on extremely compressed (but not horrible) versions of my most listened playlists of music; a few of my favorite movies and/or series; and as big of an archive of ebooks (as in fiction) I could muster in a day. If I have space left, my audiobook library, or at least a segment of it, too. I could live without porn, I suppose, as long as the other areas of entertainment and escapism are covered.

Wikipedia, music, cool videos.

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.

I have already more than 100GB, why would I rip out my drives when the internet is going down?

I already have 30GB of math textbooks, I guess I'll just download another 70GB of textbooks on various subjects and sell them to students. Y'all gonna return after 5 years to a new Elsevier.

Lots of anime. Some cherished games. I feel like i don't need a while lot of porn. Maybe those 5-6 vids that I currently frequent. That will probably get me through. Other than that; House; maybe all of Stargate but prob would never get to it; HBO watchmen series is totally rewatchable and would probably grab the movie too; bunch of misc horror films; all of law and order. Probably missed some stuff but the biggest loss would be all the new stuff that won't be released.

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

Wikipedia is around 100gb

100 GB is some rookie numbers. I've had 8tb for years, I'm only half full and the drives are starting to age out. I've already replaced one with a 4tb drive, once the rest are replaced, it'll be 16tb total.

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

Stock up on crypto memes.
