Shout out to nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll for StartOS. Lost power yesterday for a few hours. My node (BTC and Lightning) went down in a very ungraceful manner. When I booted up again this morning everything caught up and synced just fine. 🙏

I know this was mostly down to bitcoin-core and lnd but I've had the same situation nuke an Umbrel setup twice so it was a huge relief to also have a clear UI to watch all the logs update and verify things were back to normal.

I have ungracefully shutdown raspiblits for years due to power outages and such. So far so good.

Umbrel is very very fragile, indeed StartOS seems more solid

Lot of people have been saying good things about Start9. This might be the note that finally convinces me switch to it.

Been using Umbrel for a while now and want to shift to an open source alternative.

Does anyone think it might be possible/worthwhile to have an auto shutdown built into the system when on a ups?

Also, a little battery backup unit can go a long way. 🤙🏽
