    Yeah, but they're super easy to mirror

    mkdir -p /Volumes/<NameOfYourDrive>/<mia/icp>/

    cd /Volumes/<NameOfYourDrive>/<mia/icp>/

    wget -mpnp -nH -N -t 3 -w .5 https://www.<marxists.org/international-communist-party.org>

    Just let that run and you'll have a 50GB folder with the entire contents of both sites ready to be immediately pushed to any webserver.

    Without the added UX bloat, it means anyone anywhere can download and host the entire site in less than a day with easy to set up foss software and like a raspberry pi with a large thumb drive.

    Messed around with the css and made the icp website way less blinding

    Just stole the color scheme from Breeze dark for KDE.

      Whoa, did not realize this. Might set up a Gemini mirror of Marxists.org then!

      EDIT: Proud new owner of Marxists.cafe, peep it on Gemini soon!

        Do it, you can also use that command as a chron job to get the updated site. Thats their official mirror command and it only downloads changes as long as you run it in the same folder.

        There are several active mirrors already that it automatically resolves the domain name to depending on availability. If you want, you can contact them and get yours added to the pool.

          Nah the thing is Gemini isn't through http, it's a different internet protocol that requires a Gemini browser. It's like Gopher but modern. But yeah I could contact them afterwards and see if they'll list it!

            Definitely, I'm sure they'd like to have someone set it up for them. They could list it in the mirrors page

        I think you recommended I check out Gemini, was a great idea - I made an internet friend on there!

        I have no idea, ICP is only about 260MB. It also isn't service reliant so you don't have to configure like Google integrations and all that bullshit. Just good old fashioned hypertext and files
