Hope I'm not being gruesome, but how did the little guy die?
Did not die. In fact it survived two transformer explosions. The issue is that the RP4 are already falling short in their capacity to be a good LN node this 2024.
I haven't run a Pi LN node in a while. What is the major limitation they present?
I'm not very technical but I think that the 1TB drive is already falling short and so are the 8GB of RAM. Compared to building a node in an old notebook or case they are a bit far away.
For something basic it is enough but not for complex things.
I've been working on setting up a colocated proxmox cluster because running a ton of things on various pi's is a royal pain over time (also I sleep a lot better at night with this setup!).
My node (almost 5 years old) is the last thing to migrate from a Pi, but I've held off because it still works fine...better, faster, and more reliable than LSP wallets for sure. 1GB is very likely going to run out this year though if I had to bet on it.
Get an old laptop. Corporate ones are cheap amd it doesn't need to be a recent model by a longshot. My company used to let me keep their hardware whenever they upgraded them for me every couple years, I would just ask, and they'd yank the drive for data security and let me take the rest, so I had a few laying around collecting dust 😎
Great comment friend 😸
