I have not run a node for a decade. (My computer hasn't been online since 2015 because I moved off grid and just left it in storage as it took us a couple years to acquire enough batteries for the electricity demand and my entire lifestyle changed during that time)
But the recent arguments and debate around core and spammers and noticing the push towards centralisation by the corporate elites has convinced me that it's my duty to run a node if I truely believe in the principles of decentralisation.
I bought a raspberry pi and everything I need for it recently.
Just gotta set it up now.
I will be running knots.
