Do you have to be always connected to your node? (mander.xyz)

Power on your node in the morning. It is not connected to any smartphone or PC via BT/USB/HTTP;
In the evening, connect to it via BT/USB/HTTP;
Access all messages received in Primary channel and/or DMs.

Is it possible? How many messages does a node store in it's internal memory? How to access them via terminal? If node is restarted, are they erased?

I have a Heltec V3. In Meshtatsic CLI there's --listen option, but it's about receiving new packages in real time.

The radio will store a small amount of packets (around 30) in its memory for when it's not connected to a client app. If it's full, it will replace the oldest packets with newly incoming text messages only.

And yes, they persist if you restart the node. Not sure what you mean by “terminal”, there are a couple of CLI tools for meshtastic, including a practically complete chat app.
