I knew there was a reason I got a set of actual encyclopedias. Not new, nor as extensive, but it's in my hands so filthy rich assholes are gonna have to come to my door to stop me from having access to information
You can also download Wikipedia for offline use via Kiwix, so that you always have the snapshot that won't ever change and enshittify.
The whole English Wikipedia takes up about 110 gigs, and it's 110 gigs well spent.
Oh I've done that too, I've got it backed up in a few places, from years ago to a few months ago. But when all else fails, a hard copy is king
