Amazing! I just saw some incredible open-source stuff from a foreigner!!
Have you ever wondered what your computer would do if the internet suddenly disappeared from the entire world?
Someone just open-sourced a survival kit for offline internet access.
Project N.O.M.A.D.
Even if all network cables are unplugged, it will still run.
It contains fundamental data on human civilization—the complete Wikipedia, global offline maps, and comprehensive medical reference guides.
It even includes 5000 years of human civilization and the entire Khan Academy curriculum.
It even has a built-in, fully locally running AI assistant.
No internet, no cloud, no subscription fees.
How big of a server room would this system need?
One solar panel, one battery, one mini PC, one wireless router.
That's all.
Power consumption is 15 to 65 watts.
Put it in a campervan, on a sailboat, or in an underground bunker, and it becomes your sanctuary of knowledge.
This thing essentially gives you an offline knowledge base that's intelligent and can converse.
It's installed with a single command.
As long as there's electricity, human knowledge will never go offline.
So, is the ultimate goal of AI still: electricity?
