I'm building out a variant of the Wee Free Community Library for BSides Seattle! It will be an offline hotspot with #InternetInABox and a calibre-web instance.
What CC or Public Domain books and comics should I include in it?

Does anybody have one of these? Does anyone know of any actual use - as in know personally.
Imagine it would be fairly slow - is that accurate?
Have any preppers utilized these in their survival kits?
I’m looking for at least secondhand knowledge. Not hearsay or not pure hearsay. Any hands on evaluations of their limitations after one year of use?

Internet en una Caja
Tiempo de aprendizaje, colaboración e intercambio con #internetinabox
Internet in a box, for those who don't have permanent, fast and stable internet connections.
Я просто в шоке.... оказывается, вещи о которых я размышлял в духе "было бы круто", существуют, но практически не известны в моих краях. Один из таких примеров #internetinabox Да,да, я знаю что в сети меня окружают люди которые знают всё, обо всём, спокойно, у меня тоже есть доступ к поисковику. По моему это один из тех проектов которые действительно могут "изменять мир к лучшему" не на словах, а на деле.
Eilen #wikimania'ssa puhuttiin #internetinabox'sta, jolla nettiä viedään mm. afrikkalaisiin kouluihin, joissa ei ole juuri mitään oppimateriaaleja. Sähköä pikkuboxit saavat aurinkokennoista - jos norsut eivät käy niillä vähän leikkimässä. Netti toimii tässä tapauksessa ilman verkkoa, offlinepakettina, johon on ladattu mm Wikipedia, Khan Academy, TED puheita, open streetin karttoja yms.
Hankkeessa haaveillaan länkkäreiden laatikon pohjalle hylkäämistä kännyköistä, joita voisi käyttää myös bokseina.
They really found out that people were hopping on the internet and using it to change the trajectory of their life.
Then, instead of embracing the positive aspects of this new tool, they got mad and destroyed its previous format and leaned it into fascism, ignoring all warnings. Because this is exactly what they wanted.
Now I’m learning Linux, about to get that #internetinabox, and really thinking about running my own entire server. On solar power.
This is insane.

Internet in a box can be the starting point for so many smaller projects. You don’t have to run all of it for every project.
I use it as the foundation for my little free e-library,

But it can also be used as a stand alone NextCloud instance, offline Wikipedia/ #kiwix server or open source maps interface.

Internet in a Box
Internet-in-a-Box “learning hotspots” are used in dozens of countries, to give everyone a chance, e.g. in remote mountain villages in India.

🎁 Oh look, it's the "Internet in a Box"—because nothing says "cutting-edge technology" like cramming the entire web into a digital shoe box 📦! Apparently, it's the 21st-century version of a bookmobile, except now you can enjoy buffering cat videos in a remote mountain village. 📶🐱

I am slowly working up to the point on a couple of projects where I think they can be mashed up.
A #meshtastic node built into a guitar amp.
A #cigarboxguitar with an #internetinabox #IIAB node that streams what you are playing...as well as serving up your own curated bits of the internet.
A custom #cigarboxguitar with a vplayer screen https://vplayer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/videoPlayer.html playing ...whatever. Maybe the time has come to play the entirety of #DarkSideOfTheMoon on a #cbg while it shows #WizardOfOz??
@Em0nM4stodon I feel like it's worth mentioning that #internetinabox (https://internet-in-a-box.org) ships with #kiwix, and a variety of tools to simplify the creation and distribuiton of (optionally) offline hotspots to share these collected works as well.
I've prototyped a couple in my rPi400 and it works really well, 10/10 would recommend for redundant distributions of valuable educational resources, with a front end for non-techies.
Bonus: it's basically just a #debian distro

https://internet-in-a-box.org/ #internetinabox this is a great project built on #opensource to help bring knowledge and information to those not able to get them online. Have to figure how I could contribute …
