4GB is an absolute fuck ton of text. Like, solid chunk of Wikipedia would fit in there.
the other day I learned you can download Wikipedia and it’s something like 50 GB of text plus 50 GB of pictures
Nah, it’s 22 GB for just the current English version, text-only Wikipedia. Adding the media English current version only would be 140 GB (plus the 22 GB for the text). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MediaStatistics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia
So you could do text-only Wikipedia and probably compress it. Maybe drop a few thousand of the articles that don’t matter or are stubs. Drop all the entertainment articles, etc.
I don’t think you appreciate how much text you can fit into 4GB. The first entire gigabyte could be dedicated to various means of translation and explaining our language system, and you’d still have a 500 million words left after that.
You can also get 2-3 movies worth with 4gb depending on its length and quality. Maybe even more.
Blu-ray rip of Independence Day
Unless you compress it heavily, a Blu-ray rip is in the 20 to 40GB range.
I would first find some big names from the demo scene and say “I am not worthy, let these folks do it” and anyone who disagreed would have their frontal lobes severed or something.
This, in its original form, was 4kb.
So, none of us are worthy. Unless one of you is on Lemmy.
Edit: this one is 1kb lmao. None of us are worthy.
Can you tell me a little more about these? What is the “demo scene,” how were they made, and why were they made?

It’s as rad as it could possibly be.
Wouldn’t be surprised at all if anyone from that scene lurks on lemmy.
A link with a cracked Minecraft client and an ip to join to a small server to chill with that alien.
Technically you can probably send a bunch of links, like Wikipedia etc. He “just” needs to access to it, which may or may not breach the 4GB rule.
Damn, what a cheapskate. A chance to play Minecraft with a friendly space alien and you can’t even pay for a legit copy. Probably going to give that alien a computer virus and doom us all. Don’t put this guy in charge.
Can agree with that, but I wanted to save the alien from having a Microsoft account.
You’ve got a point. On second thought, maybe a different game would be better.
It won’t breach the 4GB rule, but even the closest star to Sol would have at minimum latency of 4 years.
Rickroll, comeon
