Yeah. I did it for educational purposes. I wanted to understand it and know I could run one. So anything I “lost” I count as a learning fee. As little as I need I’m just using Phoenix now and Alby for zapping. Then move to cold storage.

don't disagree, and my nodes offline too atm, but I do wonder what can make it easier.

I worry running a lightning node is only going to get more complex over time 😓
