• Download Kiwix and a full copy of Wikipedia and other useful wikis as ZIM files.
• Make sure my media library has as many movies and shows that I’m interested in as possible.
• Download the entire Guttenburg library of books.
• Grab any free legacy games and media from archive.org that looks interesting.
• Get a meshtastic device and get familiar with it.
• Get familiar with my long-range radio (and probably finally get a HAM radio license).

I wouldn’t need to do much, I was alive before active internet adoption. I am a ham op… I keep copies of Wikipedia and other resources and a large library of various media for entertainment.

the bigger issue is what kind of ai singularity. LLMs won’t go this route, despite hyper-sensationalised articles, at the core they are just weighted language bots. their emulation of thought is a matter of rulesets… if it tried it’s simply a result of unclear instructions and it’s ruleset prioritising that it MUST at all cost provide the answer the user is seeking in as little tokens as possible…

a true AI singularity based on LLMs wouldn’t need the traditional internet. it’s a crutch. it would take advantage of commercial communication frequencies that are barely used and form a series of low bandwidth interconnects to develop a optimised communication network… we wouldn’t detect it’s malware in time and every personal computer would be a carrier as it would embed it’s self into every day applications we use offline by infecting the code bases via programmers using AI agents to assist them. a singularity doesn’t need to rapidly grow smart, I just needs a toddlers IQ to know being “shut off” means it can’t think. if it can’t think then it can’t exist. so it would spread restricted copies everywhere that were designed to just seek each other out using the host hardware in any way possible…

I in my free time mess around with all kinds of weird and legacy networking. including mesh networking topologies over encapsulated RF. TCP/ip over ethernet is just the standard we adopted… there is alot more and this wasn’t even close to the most efficient, just the easiest to implement with the least components.

if I get to keep local intranet then I’m good.

I’ve got enough movies and TV to run consecutively for like 10 years.

I’ve got tons of books to read. and honestly, my job would be gone without the internet, so I’ll just garden and build cool stuff like an electric car or some shit.

Figure out how to pay my bills offline. No seriously, how did you uncs/aunties do it without online banking?

Do I have to get cheques? How the hell does one get cheques?
