Salesforce is finished I built my own CRM from scratch all it took was: • a team of 47 engineers • custom AWS infrastructure • 6 months of development costs $85,000/month to maintain but I'm saving $150/month per seat for my 3 sales reps

🚨Someone just open sourced a computer that works when the entire internet goes down. It's called Project N.O.M.A.D. A self-contained offline survival server with AI, Wikipedia, maps, medical references, and full education courses. No internet. No cloud. No subscription. It just works. Here's what's packed inside: → A local AI assistant powered by Ollama (works fully offline) → All of Wikipedia, downloadable and searchable → Offline maps of any region you choose → Medical references and survival guides → Full Khan Academy courses with progress tracking → Encryption and data analysis tools via CyberChef → Document upload with semantic search (local RAG) Here's the wildest part: A solar panel, a battery, a mini PC, and a WiFi access point. That's it. That's your entire off-grid knowledge station. 15 to 65 watts of power. Works from a cabin, an RV, a sailboat, or a bunker. Companies sell "prepper drives" with static PDFs for $185. This gives you a full AI brain, an entire encyclopedia, and real courses for free. One command to install. 100% Open Source. Apache 2.0 License.

You should never ever expose a VPS to the entire internet Always firewall it to subnets If you host a website you should only allow port 443 (HTTPS) inbound from Cloudflare's IP range / subnets Port 22 (SSH) only from your Tailscale subnet range That means you create a "tunnel" from Cloudflare and Tailscale (your laptop) to your server's door You still need your SSH key to open the door btw If you don't, ANYONE in the entire world can connect to your VPS and if there's just one security vulnerability and you didn't upgrade your VPS you can get hacked If you do have it firewalled with Tailscale subnet only, it means only if they hack your laptop they could get in via your Tailscale there Another thing is ask OpenClaw or Claude Code to enable unattended upgrades with auto reboot
