Project N.O.M.A.D, is a self-contained, offline survival computer packed with critical tools, knowledge, and AI to keep you informed and empowered—anytime, anywhere. - Crosstalk-Solutions/project-n...
But yea, having the Wikipedia and offline maps stored away (e.g. for offline use on an android phone) is a great thing.
I use a thumb drive instead of a interconnected thingy with “command centre”. Feeling old now.
Actually, having a local agent on the system with a bunch of data on it that helps you find things would be great for most people. People really need to get over the whole knee jerk reaction to all things AI related. It’s getting really tiresome.
People putting me in drawers is also getting tiresome.
I’m using coding agents as a tool for software development and like to summarize complex matters. That doesn’t mean, that I like having AI “features” cramped into everything.
And also there are the valid ethical questions AI-apologists and enthusiasts tend to dream away.
Edit: especially if the stack is advertised for survival, mind this. The more moving parts, the higher the chances for a critical failure.
You really don’t understand how having an AI agent look through your wiki and pull up relevant links quickly is useful? Also, what higher chance of failure are you talking about. It’s not like it’s an integral part of the system. The whole Ollama component is entirely opt in. At least try to make some sense here.
My setup is searchable ZIM files on a pen drive. I open the file with a viewer. No servers involved, no handoff of data involved. More like a book as last resort.
Maps are openstreet maps downloads in osmand.
From my perspective there is no need to over engineer a basic tool.
For example, take a look at those TEOTWAWKI preppers. They’re hoarding books, ebooks, literature and knowledge in the most robust and reliable way. No need to to add a tech stack that might or might not yield the proper answer and might or might not hide important facts in the summary.
They lost me at AI…

In that particular case no.
