🚨 BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a full offline survival computer with AI, Wikipedia, and maps built in.

Project N.O.M.A.D. is an open-source offline survival computer.

Self-contained.
Zero internet required after install.
Zero telemetry. Everything runs locally on your hardware.

What it includes:
→ Full Wikipedia archives via Kiwix
→ Offline maps via OpenStreetMap
→ Local AI models via Ollama + Open WebUI
→ Calculators, reference tools, resource libraries
→ A management UI to control
everything from a browser

One curl command installs the entire system on any Debian-based machine.

Runs headless as a server so any device on your local network can access it.
Minimum specs to run the base system: dual-core processor, 4GB RAM, 5GB storage.

To run local LLMs offline, you want 32GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 or better.

No accounts.
No authentication by default.
No cloud dependency.
No phone-home behavior.

Built to function when nothing else does.

The grid, the cloud, the API you depend on. None of it is guaranteed.

The people building local-first systems right now are the ones who won’t be asking for help when access disappears.

@sama love the ambition and thesis, but given the current tech, i'd say it's your worst product concept so far.

@the_culturist_ This: “A good world is brought into being by small acts of courage and kindness, even when they seem superfluous in the wider context of your quest. Each and every little thing contributes to the grand story, for they keep the fire burning when all other lights have gone out.”

@CostcoPM @emil_priver @tailwindcss Yea, totally agree.

"can we afford that?" every couple has this conversation. usually ends fighting.

built duetto so my partner and i can actually answer it together without one of us being the budget cop plus it tracks home upkeep before $50 tasks become $3k emergencies

Deploying Expo to web: remember every route is an entry point

Can't assume data's already loaded when someone hits /settings directly. Either have the data ready or redirect them.

Fixed 6 security vulnerabilities in https://t.co/3shHlzVqxE by swapping calendar libraries.

Worked on desktop Chrome. Crashed on iOS.

iOS WebKit needed explicit locale initialization. Desktop didn't care.

3 hours for 3 lines of code

It looks good! Try it out
