Nomad Network v1.2.0
=> https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet

Off-grid, resilient mesh communication with strong encryption, forward secrecy and extreme privacy.

Nomad Network allows you to build private and resilient communications platforms that are in complete control and ownership of the people that use them. No signups, no agreements, no handover of any data, no permissions and gatekeepers.

Nomad Network is build on LXMF and Reticulum, which together provides the cryptographic mesh functionality and peer-to-peer message routing that Nomad Network relies on. This foundation also makes it possible to use the program over a very wide variety of communication mediums, from packet radio to fiber optics.

Slack Who? This Self-Hosted Chat App Just Went Open Source – https://itsfoss.com/news/chatto-goes-open-source/

Built by one developer over the past year, Chatto is a team chat solution.

It's built as a self-hosted option for teams who would otherwise reach for Slack, Teams, or Discord. Hendrik wanted something light on resources, simple enough that an administrator can just run the executable and get started.

It covers the essentials you would expect from a chat app. That includes channels, rooms, file sharing, video embeds, and a roles and permissions system for fine control over which user gets what kind of access.

You also get screen sharing, along with end-to-end encryption on every voice and video call, and the number of people that can join comes down to what kind of capacity your server has.

A guy named Shin just made a Palantir alike OpenSource tool for free.
It is called OpenPlanter.

Palantir helps governments and giant companies connect scattered data about people, businesses, contracts, and money.
OpenPlanter could give that same power to ordinary people.
Feed it corporate records, political donations, lobbying disclosures, government contracts, or other public documents.
Its #AI agents search through everything, identify the same people and companies across different datasets, and turn the connections into a live knowledge graph.
You can click an entity, follow its relationships, and inspect the original sources behind each finding.
The desktop app already works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It supports OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, and local models through Ollama.
But OpenPlanter is still an early-stage project.
It is nowhere close to having the data, resources, or maturity of #Palantir.
Still, the idea is huge.
Powerful institutions have spent years using data to investigate the public.
Now the public may finally get a tool for investigating them.

Dashbeam : Send files and folders anywhere in the world without storing in cloud - any size, any format, no accounts, no restrictions ( previously Altsendme ) · GitHub – https://github.com/tonyantony300/dashbeam

A free and open-source file transfer tool that harnesses the power of cutting-edge peer-to-peer networking, letting you transfer files directly without storing them on cloud servers.

Why rely on WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Google Drive when you can reliably and easily transfer files directly, end-to-end encrypted and without revealing any personal information?

Send anywhere, from anything - Desktop, Android, terminal, or browser - start on one platform, receive on any other.

Transfer anything, any size - Files or entire directories, verified end-to-end with BLAKE3 integrity checks.

Fast enough to matter - Saturates multi-gigabit connections for lightning-fast transfers.
Private by default - No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking, no ads.

Direct device-to-device transfer - Files move directly between your devices, avoiding corporate cloud storage where data is the price.

End-to-end encryption, always on - Every transfer uses QUIC with #TLS 1.3; relays only see encrypted traffic even if they are involved.

Cryptographic authentication - Every ticket verifies you're connected to the intended sender before any files transfer...
