Michael Klements:
What if the internet went down, but you still had maps, Wikipedia and AI? I built a mini homelab running Project Nomad a completely self contained offline internet. Everything is stored and hosted locally inside the case, so even without an outside connection I can search maps, browse Wikipedia and use a local AI assistant.
This setup creates its own Wi-Fi network, so phones, tablets and laptops can connect and use these services too.

The complete build is on my YouTube channel, and I’ve released the 3D-print files if you want to build your own.

I built a complete portable offline internet with Project Nomad, giving me access to offline maps, Wikipedia, local AI and other self-hosted services without an internet connection. The system is built around a Beelink SER9 MAX, GL.iNet Slate 7 router and QNAP switch, all housed in a custom 3D-printed portable enclosure with a 3K OLED touchscreen. Connect over Wi-Fi or Ethernet and Project Nomad becomes an offline internet for your phone, tablet or laptop, perfect for remote locations, camping, travelling or just as a capable portable homelab.
