i am running nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll and recommend it. ive tried nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct but didnt like it as much. Start9 seems more secure vs Umbrel which offers more software. Advice: be mindful of what you run on your Bitcoin node

Can you clarify what you mean by "be careful what you rub on your bitcoin node"?

Haha. I meant *run

a lightning node is a hot wallet and you don't want bad actors accessing your those funds. sometimes software has vulnerabilities that can give bad actors remote access to your system so be careful about what other software you install beyond node stuff

Woah. Thinking about this.

So some Lightning wallets are centralized and custodial (like Wallet Of Satoshi).

Some are web based and custodial like Alby.

Some are non custodial like Phoneix but use their Acinq node, which is a hot Wallet ultimately? I don't understand Lightning at this level lol.

Lightning nodes are all hot. I want to know moar!

hmm not sure what's the best resource but there's a lot of info on nostr:npub1hkuk45c6c6h3y0rks0z4wa0wyyud5ru0qy0rn9x4dgnjwrnfy46s5a432p bitcoinops.org and https://docs.lightning.engineering (thats lightning labs, the OGs)
