🎁 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

#Matrix
#InternetInABox
#Nextcloud
Any and all #Linux distros

#libreoffice
#collabora

and the ongoing, tireless, thankless, largely invisible works of the #ietf

I really like the idea behind Kiwix or internet-in-a-box.

Found this nice docker container to create your own zim files from websites you like.

Wondering what people think about Kiwix and their ability to create web archives. I see their primary goal is to make website accessible offline. But would you consider a zim file good place to conserve a website mid- to long-term?

Internet in a Box - Mandela's Library of Alexandria

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 …
