I went on to install this, but it seems very US centric, which isn't apparent in anything else than the domain name. The maps only cover the US, you can only download English dumps of Wikipedia, etc.

It's not the biggest deal if you're proficient in English, but I wasn't even able to download the full dump of English Wikipedia as their hardcoded link to it just seems to return 404.

The Docker setup leaves much to be desired, as network names are hardcoded, and extension services are expected to be reachable over hardcoded port numbers, making it impossible to run behind a reverse proxy.

Going to give this another go in a couple of years when it has had some more time in the oven, but it still looks very promising!

This is larping as a prepper, not anything more.

Preppers are often not "military"-type people, but rather distrusting of authorities (which is related to why the prep), including militaries.

This is just some guy's hobby project that he is sharing for free. I don't get why everyone is so keen to shit all over it.

They're annoyed at people shamelessly publishing low quality crap. Calling it out is a way to raise standards back up.

That is the way of the internet unfortunately. Instead of simply appreciating something, it's important to find a criticism and voice it. That way you're 'adding' to the conversation.

I mean look back at HN classic posts like the initial Dropbox announcement and the classic: this is nothing more than a wrapper over rsync, etc.

"This is like the HN dropbox post" is now a whole class off low-effort comment in itself.

[TyrunDemeg101]

This may be true, but I don't believe it makes it any less valid.

Perhaps the comment YOU made could also fall into that category? Pointing out a low-effort comment is ALSO a low-effort comment?

Larping or not, it seems useful. If they want to play prepper while providing a useful widget to the rest of us, let them

I don't see the problem with trying to make knowledge more decentralized, offline-ready and accessible in the case of catastrophe.
