I am sorry, but if you want a somewhat reliable node that runs 24/7, ECC is a requirement to save you from constant headaches and doubles guessing your own sanity. My 2 sats worth of option and experience 🐶🐾🫡🫂 nostr:note1s4reswg0eaja96nppuvlz8ck277uyf72cugteqgcsg05s0nccp6q2ujmwx

I've been running my lightning node on a NUC with relative reliability, but I'm definitely looking for ways to upgrade to prevent issues in the future.

As a starting point for my research, what does your Lightning Node setup look like as far as hardware is concerned?

I use a Supermicro Server with A3000 series AMD 8 core 16 threads. 128 GB of Micron Tech ECC RAM. One 2TB NVME drive for OS and replicated PGSql storage (replicated to a second server over 10GB fiber connection with similar but lesser specs), two 2TB SSD drives mirrored with ZFS for bitcoin-core and file based configs and software itself. Using ACINQ Eclair 🐶🐾🫡

Sweet! I've got some more learning to do, lol. Bitcoin has really caused me to up my tech knowledge game. I had never assembeled a computer or touched CLI before I decided to run a node.
