Thanks @stevencellist, but you really did a extremely useful contribution to the community with your RadioLib. I’m sure it will find its way to professionals and enthousiastic individuals! ---

Probably the most surprising find for me this year was InfluxDB. They came up with a new version 3 last year, and I was really looking forward to the Open Source version of it. Unfortunately however, it is restricted to a maximum of 72 hours data retention/retrieval. So I came to their booth with a slightly disappointed mindset, but got very much surprised by them: their Enterprise version now has a “For home” license type which restricts you two 2 CPU cores but unlimited memory and data retention. You can’t use it for commercial deployment (would be insane anyway with 2 cores), but for home deployments or for me at school with a few tens of devices, it is perfect! Deploy on your own hardware / server and you can use all the greatness that InfluxDB 3 has to offer (including now finally native SQL - yay for the classroom!).
