Hello, it's a bit of a weird ask, but I'm worried about the recent enforcement of age verification laws in the UK, and it's coming soon to the EU and maybe even the US as well. From my perspective, it looks like the internet is getting locked down globally, and there will soon be very few safe heavens available. But, I'm not here to argue about that, feel free to just call me crazy and that can be that if you'd like :)

I've got my own homelab setup and a good 20TB of free space. What I'm looking for is a collection of media/articles/data, something like a microscopic snapshot of the internet with the most important things included. The purpose for this is obvious, since I'm afraid of censorship of the internet, I'd like to extract as much valuable data right now before it all gets shut down, and use it from my local setup in the future. I can imagine in the future this "snapshot" can be updated by passing around physical media, like people have done in countries like Cuba in the past.

So does anyone know of the existence of such a repository of data, or is this something I'll have to put in the effort to assemble myself? Thanks in advance :)

P.S. I did try searching reddit and online, but I don't know what search terms to even use for this. The things I tried didn't produce any worthwhile results
