🚨 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.

Good morning. Here’s 90 seconds of Parlor Greens rippin’ the title track from their upcoming record, “Emeralds”. You should pre-order it at once.🔥

It’s genuinely astonishing: Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 began along the lines of late-Soviet large-scale land warfare: with armored thrusts and insane massive artillery barrages. Then the war became the stage for a drone revolution that reshaped combat everywhere -- from the air to the sea, from the battlefield to the operational and strategic rear -- radically changing the role of armored vehicles and navy. Now we are talking about the mass use of interceptor drones, ground robotic platforms, and systems with elements of military AI. And all of this has unfolded within just 4 years. I mean -- Ukraine has spent years moving mountains in real time and standing against a far superior enemy, and yet idiots keep parroting nonsense about a “failed state” that no one is willing to fight for.

It is 100% true that great men and women of the past were not sitting around moaning about their feelings. I regret nothing.

The Iran war is a total collapse of any sort of narrative. It’s basically impossible to figure out what’s going on, and the vacuum has been filled by bad faith actors, AI slop, and disinformation. Feels like we crossed a rubicon here.

GRAHAM: “I feel good about the Republican Party. We’re killing all the right people and cutting your taxes. Trump is my favorite president. We’ve run out of bombs. We didn’t even run out of bombs in WWII.” This guy is a psychopath.
