For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO's, and a lot of entertainment media.

I could honestly just re-watch most of my shows until the end of time.

I will literally never get tired of Bee and Puppycat.

This is basically my answer. I would wish my NAS was more full. I already have a pretty (imo) decent homelab with a lot of shit on it but in a β€œpost internet” situation it would get old after a few months or maybe years depending on how fast I watched/read/listened

So tv/movies/music/books/comics and manga. Just all the media

Youtube videos. I used to use youtube-dl exclusively, and then that stopped working, and I've gradually been sucked back into just using the website. But there's a text file with a list of URLs I've been meaning to grab for posterity... and it's getting kinda fat.

Perhaps instead of using youtube-dl or yt-dlp, you may enjoy some client such as freetube more, as it has a lot of the benefits of those tools, but without ads, and with sponsorblock/thumbnail correction, and other nice customizations. It also enables you to create playlists and whatnot.

You can hit a button to download directly from a video's page as well, though I think that feature needs some love from the developers (you don't get a loading bar on download).

A decent chunk of that is in The Food Lab cookbook.

annas-archive.org, arxiv.org, and maybe internet archive too if possible

All of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, JK I've got that shit on lock already

Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 months ago

Ableton Live

Arcane Season 1 and 2.

All Jetbrains products

A distilled DeepSeek R1 model.

[–] dx1@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

I already did.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Opera videos.

I'd want to pirate every drawing program I never got a chance to try, plus the fancier writing software. Gonna have a lot of time to learn both.

I've seen shockingly few movies and TV shows so maybe all the media I can get my hands on, too.

What makes you think I didn't already download everything I want?

[–] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nothing, I never said any such thing. In your case your answer to my question would be "I would not have to wish, because I already downloaded everything I want". This makes you wise.

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's a much classier way of calling someone a digital hoarder :)

[–] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Haha, I have an ok amount of data tucked away on disks as well, but I have a huge appreciation for people who do collect data as a hobby. In the contemporary, I fully believe that having people who take it upon themselves to do this is more important than ever, even thought it is often a thankless thing to do.

So in this case, I would throw a thank you your way for doing that!

Already got all my favourite games downloaded or on DVD. All my Youtube favourites and the full catalogues of some old channels would be great. No JonGrumps and no 00's meme videos make me something something.
