A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's less than 90 gig to do a full backup. I can have the sum total of human knowledge on a 1TB external SDD, and still have room for Skyrim and my modlist.

Even less so if you exclude images

Those images are important, I would keep them. Wikipedia just scrapes the surface of information, a picture can give a bigger insight.

True, if you have the space by all means

Is there an easy way of doing a full backup?

That's only the text without any media. If you wanted to save all media on Wikimedia Commons, that would be about 420tb.

You get the images, just not audio or video files.
