Let's say that you wake up one day and find out that the government will shut down all internet access in 72 hours. You're in a poorfag country like Venezuela where most people earn around $30/month and spend most of that in food, which means that there's not much money to buy new things, and most technology equipment that people have is old.
What would you do in that time?

Let's say that you wake up one day and find out that the ISP fucks up down all internet access in 72 hours because they saved money in infrastructure which now bites in their ass. You're in a fag country like Sweden where most people earn around $3000/month and spend some of that in food, which means that there's much money to buy new things, and most technology equipment that people have is new but they know only how to use facebook.
What would you do in that time?
Draw TONS of furfag shit!
Venezuela has the hottest sluts. They win those miss beauty contests all the time. You'll find things to do
As does Sweden. Statistically it has more percentage of blondes and big boobed chicks than other countries (I dunno now with the rapefugees tho)
I would download music and videos so I could sell them when internet goes down.
...
what?
It fucks in both directions
no, only up and down.
Buy banks of modems and call my local telco to get multiple lines installed, download some dank BBS software and start spamming the phone numbers everywhere
I download age of empire 2 and make LAN battle with other poorfag. I also will download video tutorial of shuffle and jumpstyle and make a subculture of of cool kid dancer. Eventually we will reach in a decade the internet. From this point we will all wear tracksuits and poorfag cloth. The world world will find interest in us. Then there will be beautiful economic growth and somalian europe will tell: "look, venezuela the last bastillon of white civilisation"
...enough of shitpost I go sleep
Download wikipedia.
Do I have the same shit that I own currently? If so then I just do the same shit I've always done when I can't go on the internet: play video games on my computer or a couple old consoles I have lying around, go to the local rifle range and shoot shit, work on some project around the house I could do, change the belts in my vehicle that I've been putting off changing, sit around outside and chat on my 2 meter radio or my CB radio (I have a feeling there'd be a bit more radio traffic than normal), do chores I've been putting off, drive around and window shop. Do you seriously just live online?
it could since there are shortages of both food and TP>>608668
torrent survival docs and find a place that I can get spiral binding done for when I print all of it out
oh and what said is a pretty good idea too
torrent winXP and some old as games like battlefront 2 and half life 1 and counterstrike
spics love First Person Shooters so I could probably get a gang together providing a service with that
Inflation there started hitting hard around the end of 2012, so a lot of people are stuck with what they had before then.
Yeah, you should look for games that work in something like a 775 3GHz pentium 4 with integrated graphics (X3100).
Now i'm wondering: How would a local meshnet work in a densely populated city like Caracas or Maracaibo? What kind of DIY McGuyver shit would they have to do? Meshnet networks like the one in NYC normally say "buy this $30 router and this $50+ outdoor antenna" but I doubt that venezuelans can afford that. It will be a replacement for the internet, so it's likely that it will have more users than any other meshnet. How slow would it be?
...
Download as much PSP ISOs, GBA and SNES ROMs as I can. Already have all the disgaeas (waiting for rpcs3 to become viable).
Fix my rc.conf
Kek. Provided they have electricity to run those antennas
In cuba they just use sneakernet. A guy comes round with a USB stick full of piracy.
It's pretty high bandwidth but the ping times are awful.
You probably don't even need to worry about malware since you're all air gapped.
user I have bad news
Why do people keep saying that you can't use offline mode? All of that shit was fixed years ago.
install runit
My hermana lives in Cuba and she used internet (yahoo mail) in a hospital.
Let's say that you wake up one day and find out that the government gave a comprehensive education to Millennials of how things were like before they were 5 years old. Suddenly, young Amerifats know about 'telephones', and 'amateur radio', and stop posting mouth-breathing retarded questions about technology just for an excuse to get people to interact with them.
definitely not safe for poor people.
a government like that would probably monitor anything on phones, so it's not very safe.
also, are telephones supposed to be a forgotten technology in the us? landline phones are still common where i live.
Normies would literally go into overreeeee mode when they are told they won't be able to access facebook anymore.
...
a lot of people are switching to internet phones
pretty cheap
Sorry to hear about your hernia
The Cuban gov allow piracy to exist because passive consumers don't join political revolutions. Maybe this is one of the things they picked up from USA diplomacy
This is actually pretty clever user. Fuck I need to start hoarding an encrypted harddrive of porn. That day ever comes I'll be a ware$ man.
Depends on the country. In Egypt, the internet got shut down because the government basically made some phone calls and forced the international connections to close. This is why every country needs A LOT of ISPs. Internally the internet ran but lots of websites (e.g. facebook) were blocked. Once again this is why things like TOX are important. Need to decentralize communications.
1989, Soviet Russia.
Military Coup. All long-distance phone exchange lines were cut.
RELCOM had a 300/1200 baud UUCP network that spanned the country, store-forwarding across local lines--- basically a mesh network.
I already have thousands of books and a local copy of Wikipedia. I'd do a more focused search for useful books.
Books are by far the best thing to hoard in a scenario like this because they're so extremely small.
Pre shutdown :
As said :Books hoarding , mostly IT & Businesses, so i can start replacing the internet.
Also important : Hoard a good lot of Open WRT compatible rooters ...
Post shutdown :
Make an country / city if shit doesn't work as planned internet.
Keep minimum communication channels (IRC ... ) active in priority.
Serve Websites for open-source software.
Try to hijak existing lines that are shutdown in order to gain range.
If they do not magically disappear
Maybe start doing what said, sneaker-net with priority of open sauce stuff.
Start hosting serious businesses if shit works.
Note that this is only possible if electricity stays.
