UPDATE

Never mind, I found a way to throttle wget and bend it to my needs :-)

Hi

I'd like to locally mirror this site for personal use. Need at least access to my thought processes of the last 2 decades.

Problem is that I don't want to put even more strain on the servers.

I looked at the wayback machine as alternative source and unsurprisingly it had problems accessing threads since "the AI" started its distributed denial of service attack.

I suppose a compressed tar ball would be in the range of 0.1 to 1.0 GB and could be offered as a torrent. (Unfortunately AI wouldn't be "I" enough to use that instead)

Hmm ... Alternatively to plain html maybe only the XML versions of the posts plus a mojolicious app running the search engine and rendering the posts.

Parts of this post rather belong to meditation, feel free to move it if appropriate.

Cheers Rolf
