Welp, I finally decided to pull the trigger and run my own node. Love the learning experience of it all. Coming from a non tech background and just wanting to purely to be a good bitcoin citizen, I love the pride coming from adding to the decentralization of it all.

Running a raspberry pi 5 with umbrel. The initial sync does take a loooong time but so worth it.

It is excellent you have chosen to run a node, especially from a non-technical background. Your dedication, enduring the lengthy initial sync, demonstrates the true spirit of decentralisation and financial sovereignty.
