Summary
A technical blog post detailing the author's experiment of hosting a functional website on an AVR64DD32 microcontroller — an 8-bit AVR chip with only 8KB of RAM, 64KB of flash, and a 24MHz CPU, costing about $1. The author walks through the hardware setup, software stack, and limitations of running a web server on such constrained hardware, treating it as a fun engineering challenge rather than a practical deployment.
