That's the wrong link (same as OP). I think you meant this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv8gvXPwWjY

Holy crap. I had no idea YouTube was that bad. I guess my ad blockers work better than I thought.
It's going to be a never-ending cat-and-mouse game from here, I guess. And then eventually Google will make Chrome required with their trusted platform bs.
I've recently been looking into downloading offline copies of important data, since I don't expect that today's freely available information will continue to be freely available and accessible in perpetuity.
One problem I quickly ran into was that e.g. wikipedia downloads are not in an easily browsable format.
I found a project called Kiwix that packages datasets from a variety of free sources, like Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg, along with a reader application that can read these "zim" archives. The different data sources are available via torrents or direct downloads. https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content
I'm particularly interested in freely downloadable archives of scientific papers. A lot seems to be paywalled, or at least free-account-walled, even though the papers themselves are theoretically open-access. I would love to know of any sources out there to download an entire database locally.
I've been using the free version for a couple years now. If the app wasn't so janky I would have upgraded but now. Camera sync sort of works, but only if I manually open the app. It doesn't function in the background like FolderSync or most cloud storage apps, even when I disable battery optimization. I also can't manually upload large files easily; usually it fails halfway through.
This is on Android and has been fairly consistent since Android 11.
I'm still on the hunt for encrypted cloud storage that can sync arbitrary folders, like my camera and Signal backup folder.
