RNS: Reticulum Network Stack; the reference implementation of Reticulum.

Shared instance: By default, RNS only starts once per machine, and all other programs connect to it. However, if the first one goes down, they all lose their connection. To prevent this, the RNS daemon (rnsd) can be run as a service or prior to any other application.
