The DA14683 is fantastic. I played a bit with an eval. board and it's really good for it's price vs. features (~$3 for 250 pcs. at Mouser). But soon the idea of releasing code for it as Open Source faded away, since you need to si

You can't, at least safely . If you can write arbitrarily to any position in RAM then it's not a memory-safe language. You can hide accesses behind some kind of abstraction ( unsafe blocks, libraries or whatever). But that'

I'd do. I appreciate having my data on my local server(s). But since you pointed out a necessity, and for every necessity there is a customer, one can start a SaaS for (Mozilla) gateways, charging for traffic/storage. There are ot
