Running a full node at home is starting to become too expensive. We need to be honest about this.
Umbrel Home is $500. Start9 is $620.
Yes, you can do it cheaper (with a Rasberry Pi or old computer). But you will have daily or weekly issues.
I run an Pi 4 with Umbrel and I need to restart it weekly. I know many others do the same.
We need hardware to come down in price massively.
Its becoming more expensive, but a $200 used thinkpad is more than enough to run a bitcoin + ln node without issues

Sure. But then add a 2tb hard drive on top of that. Closing in on $400
2tb is like $80 nowadays and 1tb is still enough for the coming years
