nomadNews - Newsportal for oppressive environments

Full Features here : https://github.com/Nezugi/nomadNews

Part of the Off-Grid-Community-Suite

Public testserver 8fd772fdde481bb2b577b2485a63aba7:/page/index.mu

The core idea behind this : What does it need to provide News when there are people who wants to shut you down, or worse ?

Some of the features with this in mind:

- registration only with identity , safer than passwords
- usage over optional lxmf bot without registration ( read and publish articles)
- set as mirror site to an other nomadNews portal
- emergency wipe and backups over lxmf commands from everywhere
- everyone can provide articels with an account on site or over lxmf
- designed to load quick also over lora
- setable rate limits againts bruteforce or ddos attacks

Some other features:

- Breaking News
- subscribe to categories
- comments
- set user rights to review and publish articles per category
- share articles
- manage own reading lists
- Profil pages

if you got further ideas to harden this against attacks pleas leave them here

2 Defective Batteries

Hi everyone, I've now had the same problem on 2 consecutive flights.

Error message: Smart Battery Failed, then emergency landing, and the battery no longer charges and the drone won't start anymore.

Is this a planned obsolescence feature??

I only use the original software, controller and app. Everything up to date.

Is this a known issue? Otherwise I get no error messages.

What to do next ?

Hi all,

i had the Idea to bring back one of the games i played in the 56k modem era.

So i did.

NoamdGame is like Ogame in NomadNet , i tried to do it without a background service.
But i have no idea how well this will work with a few more players.

So may i ask you to try it ? :-)

I got a few things all ready working, like Exploration and Colonization , fleets and fights and even different plant types with pro and cons , start looking for the rare ones :-)
And all the Basics , next to do are proper graphics and quality of life features.

Thanks for your Feedback and wishes, and have fun .

Hey everyone,

thanks to some help from AI I was able to build a small project I’ve been thinking about for a while.

GitHub: https://github.com/Nezugi/Off-Grid-Community-Suite


GOAL

Create a set of lightweight tools that help organize the needs of a small community without internet, without external services, and without complex dependencies.

Basically: What do you need to keep a village running when the grid is down for weeks?

A NomadNet node on a Raspberry Pi needs only a small solar panel. If everything else is down, a few RNodes + Android devices can still keep a community coordinated.

Communication, coordination, storage, logistics — all offline.

Everything is built in the spirit of NomadNet, designed to work over LoRa, and uses only:

  • basic Python
  • basic SQL
  • Micron templates

No daemons. No extra packages. No bloat. Each tool works independently.

If a feature doesn’t require accounts, it simply doesn’t use them.


TOOLS OVERVIEW (TABLE)

Tool Description
nomadComBoard Forum with profile pages. Admins can create subforums and manage access.
nomadChat Ultra-light one-file chat. Minimal, portable, works anywhere.
nomadMarket Marketplace board for selling, trading, gifting, or requesting items. No registration — edit via token.
nomadYellow “Yellow Pages” directory for goods, skills, labor. Admin approval + optional verified badge. Token-based editing.
nomadWarehouse Tracks shared resources (food, water, tools). Rights for storing, withdrawing, reserving, lending. Minimum stock alerts.
nomadMission Task board for community jobs. Post tasks + compensation, people apply, you choose. Includes rating system.
nomadBlog Simple news + information board for everyone.
nomadCalendar Submit events without registration. Recurring events auto-generate after admin approval. Token-based editing.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

  • Is something important missing?
  • Where do you see potential issues or improvements?
  • Would this be useful for small communities, off-grid groups, or emergency preparedness?

I had a lot of fun building these — maybe they’ll be useful to others too.
