gollark: In any case, ZIM files aren't *entirely* archivey, as it has to be efficient to FTS them and look up a specific page.

gollark: This is vaguely worrying, Google found the potatOS privacy policy on osmarks.tk even though it's *not linked anywhere*.

gollark: But for most of it that wouldn't be necessary.
