68k.news: Basic HTML Google News for Vintage Computers
I share the frustration with the major online news portals, and have in fact built my own portal powered by Wikipedia[1].
But eventually I realized that my biggest gripe with news today isn't the presentation but the content. And I'm not talking about biases or sensationalism – I'm talking about the news items themselves.
Much of what passes as news today is stuff like "15 people die when a copper mine collapses in Chile". I'm trying to get a big picture view of the world, and I don't believe that such stories are at all conducive to that endeavor. News as we know it is just an endless stream of random events, apparently selected according to a handful of crude criteria, the most important one being dead people. I've been a keen follower of global news for many years, and I don't feel that I'm understanding anything.
Where are the truly novel approaches to painting a picture of what the world is today? Where are the quantitative news portals, the event pattern search engines, the automatically derived trends? I'm still looking.

Ask HN: Have you stopped reading most news?
I love Wikipedia's "Current Events" portal so much that I have built a search engine for it: https://pastevents.org/
PastEvents is my entry point to the news nowadays. It updates daily and I can look at source material and relevant articles linked directly from the event, as well as search the past for related events to understand chronology.

[Censorship] Fandom Wiki (formerly Wikia) is deleting wikis on sexual topics November 24, such as the Monster Girl Encyclopedia wiki
Httrack is a good choice for having a local copy of the wiki you can browse personally, but note that if you ever have to back up a wiki in a formal suitable for migrating to another wiki site, something like ArchiveTeam's WikiTeam tool would be suitable. It also has a built-in tool to upload the resulting backup to archive.org, like how someone has done so with the MGQ wiki here.

Fandom Wiki (formerly Wikia) is deleting wikis on sexual topics in 2 weeks
I found ArchiveTeam's WikiTeam tool relatively easy to use. I just had to download the repository from github (from the Code: Download Zip in the top right), have Python installed, open a command prompt in the folder, copy-paste the commands from their front page, have it fail complaining about missing modules, look up the command to install Python modules, and install the modules it needs. Their tutorial has additional instructions for uploading the resulting archives to archive.org and for downloading lists of wikis.
