For people who have the disciplinary background in neural networks and machine learning I imagine that replicating that paper into some type of framework would be straight forward right? Or am I mistaken?
I've done this (not thoroughly by any means) with OpenSnitch on the Ubuntu machine I have ollama installed on running the 32b R1 weights. No network traffic.
I'm not entirely sure if it is possible to do some type of code execution like that in just the weights themselves, though someone else who knows a bit more about this can weigh in here.
I'm not sure what the point of this really is. Many of those printers and POS systems have OpenCUPS support already, which is more or less "one command". If it requires a Raspberry Pi I have no idea what you are selling. Can you please elaborate on this?
There are privacy and data integrity issues with GitHub for both enterprise and personal use. Gitlab and other self-hosted alternatives are nearly exactly the same. I don't know if "by harder for me as a user" they mean the web-facing frontend, or something else. And even then something like Gitlab offers the exact same feature set as Github does on the web frontend.
On a sidenote this is the same "but x is so much more convenient" mentality that is driving open source projects to lock all their documentation behind something like a Discord chatroom instead of having a proper docs page or wiki.
> once it supports sneakernet as a transport, it will be perfect.
Sneakernet transport has a wide array of definitions, but my favorite part about NomadNet and Sideband is the fact you can print paper QR code messages and have a recipient or LXMF propagation node scan them and have your message delivered. I have a $13 thermal printer I was able to get messages printed with.
Briar is a standalone messaging application while NomadNet is designed to work with the Reticulum Network Stack (https://reticulum.network), which is a complete alternative to TCP/IP
I'm not sure there is a formal threat model yet (I'm not a maintainer), but there has been discussion regarding this topic. You can checkout the Github forum page (https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/discussions) and there is also an Element channel at #reticulum:matrix.org
The threat model would be highly dependent on the carrier used. For example, if you're using LoRa an adversary would be using far different methods of disruption when compared to a traditional overlay network.
The network stack used in this article is called Reticulum. Reticulum can operate over really any medium that has a MDU of 500 bytes, and a throughput greater than 5 bits.
I've performed this exact test using two HF radio nodes equipped with NVIS antennas operating on the 40 meter band, with each radio 144 km (90 miles) separate in distance. Node 1 was out in the field while Node 2 was back at my house. Node 2 was able to act as a bridge to the outside TCP Testnet.

The author of this blog post is the developer of Reticulum, which is a complete network stack and full-fledged alternative to TCP/IP. (https://reticulum.network/). Reticulum is capable of operating over not just LoRa, but bluetooth low energy, standard WiFi, Packet Radio, and overlay networks like Tor and I2P.
It's meant to just be a quick explanation of some of the very basic concepts. But if you want to understand the network stack in-depth the manual is the best resource: https://reticulum.network/manual/index.html
Reticulum is incredibly versatile and has an entire ecosystem of tools under development. NomadNet is just one of the messengers. There is Sideband, a mobile app client (https://github.com/markqvist/Sideband), and Reticulum MeshChat, developed by Liam Cottle which is a browser based client https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat.
Reticulum can work over anything that has a throughput greater than 5 bits a second (yes, bits) and a MDU of 500 bytes. Not only can it work over hundreds of different carriers (LoRa, BLE, Packet Radio, overlay networks like Tor and I2P) but each of these carriers can be apart of the same network.
I threw together a quick proof of concept of it working over HF radio. I setup two nodes about 144 km (90 miles) separate. Both were ICOM-7300's with a Raspberry Pi 5 driving the software modem that would take packets from Reticulum and send them over the air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blwNVumLujc
Node 1 was out in the field while Node 2 was back at my house. Node 2 had two interfaces setup, one for the HF modem and another connected to the TCP testnet. This means that Node 1 could access any peer that was over on the TCP testnet.
