Is there a way to mirror all of #Wikipedia (without all historical changes, just the current english articles) and if so, how big would that be?

Given the upcoming US Regime openly disclosed they'll de-anonymize and attack Wikipedia contributors I'd like to have the current version backed up.

@Natanox
All of Wikipedia (including images) can be downloaded for use offline, only requiring about 150 GB of disk space.

There's no technical reason why you couldn't host your own version.

@RealGene Pictures are only 150gb if articles alone already boast 23gb, compressed?
