How would you work effectively with an extremely slow 56Kbps connection?
Use a tool like Internet-in-a-box and keep a "local" version of tons of very useful stuff like Wikipedia and Maps.

Discussion: Do you think 'internet-in-a-box' would be a useful / helpful thing to bring?
Internet-in-a-box is a Free, Open source offline internet tool. Its a step up from having an offline wikipedia copy, it has a lot of Ebooks, and a offline version of Khan academedy youtube videos, and more etc

Build a pocket sized touch computer for cheap!
IMO the best use case is https://internet-in-a-box.org/. You download a bunch of stuff like Wikipedia, videos, books, etc, and any device with WiFi can access them. Much better than relying on something like a laptop or old phone with all of these resources on them. Get a couple of Raspberry Pi's and some SD cards and you can clone them all and have lots of backups. They are small and use little power so you can hide them in places that can't easily be found.

I just bought the only physical encyclopedia still in print, and I regret nothing
this is awesome, but for those of us that don't feel like spending ~$1200... may I suggest internet in a box

An argument for why we need to start hoarding books and textbooks immediately.
Not a hard copy, but unless you’re worried about something destroying all electronics, you can make an offline library with Internet in a box.

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Slightly offtopic
I have OsmAnd ( https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd ) on my phone, download the basemaps, download my (small) country data (both sourced from open street maps), and with an app + ~1GB of data, I get the maps and full navigation within my country, POIs, etc., and can add other countries when needed.
Is there something similar for a PC? I can download data from open street maps, but then I need postgres, postgis, a tile server and styles and apache running just to generate the tiles. Is there anything portable (short of running osmand in an android virtualbox) for offline navigation on a linux pc? QGIS can display vectors, but I wasn't able to easily style the data... navigation is a no-go there too. anything else?

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it"
OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the same every now and then. Also Google uses the location data of it's users to change routes depending on congestion afaik. Don't expect that from OsmAnd.

Improving your online privacy: An update
Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.

Organic Maps
OSMAnd tracks users using a secret supercookie by default because the developer wants metrics. This is done without consent. The defensiveness of the developer with regards to such unethical tracking means that I will never use any software they ever release.
