Of those approaches mentioned, RTIC is the one I find most interesting. It's worth investigating whether you're dealing with RTOS problems or not. It's not actually an RTOS the conventional sense, but a concurrency framewor

So if some rando were to just find one of these huge SIM farms, who could they call, and would anything be done? With the number of radios seen in the photos from the original story, there must have been a great deal of SMS from that struct
