I run ECC RAM on my hard nodes
A Bitcoin node will detect bugs in the matrix
since I'm not seeing any serious memory or disk issues, and assuming there are no bugs in bitcoin-core, I wonder if my bitcoin node is getting hit by cosmic rays and bits are getting flipped every now and then, leading to leveldb checksum errors.
I looked into ECC ram but I may need to build a home server, since it's not common in desktops motherboards.
Is this is why you’ve been going on about ecc memory nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj ? I found a post about it from greg maxwell 10 years ago as well, saying all his non-laptop machines use ecc memory:

gonna have to setup a server rack in my house nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p
i haven't had a rack in my house in a decade... i could be persuaded though...
another water heater… :)
ryzen supports ecc
Need motherboard support though which is rare for consumer motherboards
I read up you need a ryzen pro apu
I have bought 2 random ASUS boards, one meant for “professional use” and one meant to be lower end (B)
Both work
/r/homelab sends their regards
Doesn't need to be a power hungry monster homelab though, IIRC some of the newer Lenovo thinkcentre tiny nodes support ECC and have two NVME slots
