Kiwix updated the English version of Wikipedia .ZIM files
With facts, science, and truth under increasing assault in the USA, the folks at Kiwix have finally updated their .ZIMs for Wikpedia - or, at least the English language ones. I didn't check the others.
Until recently the latest file was from 2024. The new one is current as of August 2025.
English with photos (111 gigs) - https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedi … 025-08.zim
English sans photos (43 gigs) - https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedi … 025-08.zim
I'd recommend downloading these before Wikipedia gets memory hole'd.
PS : does anyone know if the updated Trixie (and eventually Carbon) includes a newer version of software like Kiwix and Calibre?

Re: Kiwix updated the English version of Wikipedia .ZIM files
You can use the Debian package search to see what versions are available in Trixie, Sid or wherever:

...elevator in the Brain Hotel, broken down but just as well...
( a boring Japan blog (currently paused), now on Bluesky, there's also some GitStuff )

Re: Kiwix updated the English version of Wikipedia .ZIM files
Kiwix made the official announcement today about the updated ZIM files.
Possibly of interest here - Arch Linux Wiki is now a ZIM and it's only a 30MB download! Grab it.
The Kiwix folks have been busy. Lots of new sites were crawled and many previously-crawled sites were updated.
