Home internet has been out for a few hours tonight due to a storm, and no ETA yet on when it will be back up. If you run a lightning node at home, have you considered the need for redundant internet service, or do you have some other backup plan in case of a prolonged internet outage? Curious how others approach it. This type of situation was yet one more reason why I shut my channels down last year, and why I just run non-custodial mobile apps like Breez now.

I have 2 nodes main nodes that are in different locations. Each has roughly the same liquidity at all times, and have the same channels opened other than 2 different on each, for routing reasons.

Not a true redundancy, but there is plenty of inbound on both, and if both go down in different cities, we are all screwed anyways.

Good approach for those who can do it, and good point there at the end 🤣

Yeah, I have 2 offices and a house. My house has an umbrel pi, one office another mynode pi, and other office a bare metal server node running ubuntu.
