    If you can spare the disk space, save a local copy of Wikipedia, save pdfs of your favorite books, textbooks, etc., project gutenberg, kiwix library, git mirrors, archive.org, jstor, etc.

    The more people who have their own copies, the better this stuff has a chance of surviving the dark ages.

    Also, if people can figure a way to send/receive data and remotely access servers over mesh networks, it will help populate the new web with useful information. Keep the light alive, even if it doesn’t reach everybody. Even through the dark ages in history, knowledge was preserved in monasteries.

    Lastly, although you probably can’t grab every news article ever written, be sure to save the ones that are especially salient from a few reliable sources. Future historians and digital archaeologists will thank you.
