What I learned from Hacktoberfest
This year was my first Hacktoberfest, and I really enjoyed the event. This was my first time trying to really get into open source. I appreciate ds912 for creating Good First Issues, which helped me find good open source projects that I felt like I was capable of contributing to, like the lovely Instascrape by @chrisgreening . I learned how Hacktoberfest is more than just submitting pull requests that serve some value, but also making connections with other people in the open source community. While Hacktoberfest wasn't executed perfectly this year, the celebration of open source certainly has had some positive impacts and has taught me a lot.

Zim vs WARC ?
There are clearly similarities between the two, given that Kiwix put resources into making WARC content available in ZIM archives (i.e. Zimit-style ZIMs, created with the Zimit scraper and warc2zim backend). But as u/IMayBeABitShy said, the ZIM specification focuses on providing a highly compressed container that is readable on-the-fly (i.e. by decompressing only the needed content to show an article), whereas WARC, or rather the compressed version WACZ, is merely a zipped version of the WARC data (request headers and responses). It is also readable on-the-fly, but compression will not be as optimal as the zstandard compression used by modern ZIM archives.

Openzim/zimit using docker on Windows 10; mounting the volume with the complete .zim file works how exactly?
The zimit readme says it uses /output as the default directory, so we can use that as the name for our docker's volume.

Prepping for the end of the internet.
Zimit. This tool allows you to convert an existing website into an offline ZIM archive. https://hub.docker.com/r/openzim/zimit

Reading from the web offline and distraction-free
which worked quite well for most sites, but still very far from a general-purpose solution.
There is also more powerful/general-purpose scraper that generates a ZIM file here: https://github.com/openzim/zimit
It would be really nice to a "common" scraper code base that takes care of scraping (possibly with a real headless browser) and outputs all assets as files + info as JSON. This common code base could then be used by all kinds of programs to package the content as standalone HTML zip files, ePub, ZIM, or even PDF for crazy people like me who like to print things ;)

You can now create your own zim files!
There is a limit at 1,000 items for each zim because we don’t want to DDoS unsuspecting websites with requests; and also would not be able to afford the bill If it becomes as popular as we think it will be. But since this is free software, you can obviously cut the middleman by copying, studying, modifying and redistributing the code that can be found here: https://github.com/openzim/zimit or contact us directly and get the full thing for a small fee (tbd, but this should not be a blocker for legitimate uses).
