I am tired of people running shity nodes on RPi. They are stubborn in not want to understand that their shity node crashing could affect the whole network.
When these people will learn that they can still run a PRIVATE node (with unannounced channels), that are enough to pay the beer/coffee over LN.

FFS throw that RPi node to the fucking garbage!
When people will understand that the weak point for RPi nodes is the DC card and the USB cable that is literally fucking the data drive?
BTC and LN require a huge traffic I/O for both SD card and the data drive (no matter you use SSD or HDD). The simple fact that the drive is NOT internal is fucking this I/O traffic. And your node always get fucked.
If you want to run a PUBLIC ROUTING node, then get a fucking SERIOUS machine, with INTERNAL drives and in RAID. Also have 100% good maintenance and a lot of liquidity.
FFS stop running public nodes with less than 1BTC liquidity!
You'd be lucky to successfully run a personal node. Umbrel sucked and locked up my entire network and Start9 would always fault out trying to login. Unplugged the RPi, formatted and repurposed the SSD.
Next adventure might be a Futurebit hobby miner.
Yep, I’ve killed my two Pis. One positive was the “learn by mistake” factor. Going to repurpose a ThinkPad instead.
