Just run a web server and expose the specific files you want to share through that?

I just ssh in and use the remote computer’s shell (typical bash on the remote side via gnome-terminal on my local Mint system) or mount a remote directory (via sftp) if I want to use a GUI editor. Not sure what hoops you have to jump through on Mac since I don’t use it these days. I’d assume you can ssh into a remote system from Mac’s default terminal app still? (I learned a bunch of Unix basics on OS X in a class ~20 years ago; it worked back then, at least…)

Ecclesiastes surprised me though - that one was interesting.

Same. That’s one of a few parts I’m planning to go back and re-read eventually. I don’t know if I have a favorite part, but that definitely grabbed my attention.

In general, I’d say the parts worth my time, in addition to Ecclesiastes, were the first 5 books of the Old Testament (Torah equivalent), some of the histories, and the Gospels. I didn’t really care for the seemingly endless letters of Paul et al, the Psalms, Proverbs, or the prophets generally. It’s possibly I didn’t have the right perspective/context to appreciate them. I did find the fact that there are words – like “selah” – which we don’t actually know the meaning of to be interesting though, and, of course, seeing names and the sources for references I’ve encountered in other media was also interesting. (e.g. the title “Malachi” of the last book of the Old Testament jumped out at me because of Futurama even though the book itself didn’t leave a strong impression when I read it.)

Indeed – it is out of copyright. KJV is available for free here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10 (among other places)

I’ve read it cover-to-cover (excepting some parts like the census results in Numbers that I skimmed) despite not being a Christian. It is a rather challenging read.

Really?

No. The link is to a ~6 year old advertisement. The author interviewed was using weird American culture war bullshit from 2019 to try to get you to buy their book.

Nuts to that. History belongs to all of us, and anyone can poke fun at the Romans if they want to.

It doesn’t actually include all the media, and – I think – edit history. It does give you a decent offline copy of the articles with at least the thumbnails of images though.

Edit: If you want all the media from Wikimedia Commons (which may also include files that are not in Wikipedia articles directly) the stats for that are:

Total file size for all 126,598,734 files: 745,450,666,761,889 bytes (677.98 TB).

according to their media statistics page.
