+1 to that -- when I was a kid, I saw a cop drop his bike while trying to park it on the kickstand. He couldn't lift it back up (at least, within the 30 seconds I was gawking), and he looked fairly strong...

I put links to pages I want to read in a local HTML file and run PyPlucker on it, which scrapes up to a specified depth (usually 1). Then I send the resulting PDB file to my old Palm T3 over Bluetooth and read it all offline. There's a desktop viewer but I haven't tested that yet.

Before that I used to use a Chromium extension "EpubPress" that dumps all open tabs into an EPUB, but that relied on a 3rd party service and no longer works. There's a project called EpubPressX which tries to do it fully local but it didn't work for me. There's also offpunk which is a text-only local CLI offline reader.

I watched the whole thing when it aired too, and the last episode was the biggest table flip moment... it was like the writers had no clue where to go, and someone said "ok sorry but we need a script that ties off all loose ends. You have 10 minutes to come up with something."

Tiddlywiki with the Stroll extension for backlinks. Stored as one big encrypted file you can lob onto a network drive etc. Mine is in Dropbox.

Can't really use it across devices safely though, or at least I haven't tried.

There has been some international criticism of the IDF actions that caused a lot of civilian deaths, but probably less so in the US and Germany where it is very difficult to make any criticism of the Israeli government without being labelled antisemitic. This means it's socially and politically safer to say generic things like "we stand with Israel no matter what". Ironically there is far more critical debate within Israel itself.
