One of the reasons I don't trust Umbrel and a shitty little Raspberry Pi with a bunch of lightning channels.

I also avoid using RPI. Im running Unbrel inside a Ubuntu VM.
Definitely not the hardware then. Must be Umbrel. I'm planning on using Start9 when I finally get around to getting a node back online.
Interesting. Ive not heard of Start9 before. Ill look into it. If i can boot it as a VM and avoid Ubuntu i may take that route. I looked at MyBTCNode but they don't give any iso's so I cant run it...
I don't understand using a pi either. Lots of good old desktop workstations are available for cheaper, and they are more powerful, have more ports and ability to upgrade. Just an overall better choice. I pulled an old machine from storage i5 4th gen. Works great.
I think it's just lack of knowledge/experience. There's lots of guides and the Pi looks like the simplest and coolest solution. Once you get the node running then you start going down the personal server rabbit hole though, and the Pi just isn't built for it.
