i do not think umbrel has auto updates enabled?

start9 definitely does not and also makes it easy to run knots instead

this change is not that significant, it is more how it is being handled that is disappointing, weird hill for core maintainers to die on

anyway I do not think there are many node runners out there that are not paying attention to this, especially those that run nodes of significant economic value

lets be honest, more people watch mstr podcasts than run nodes

They don’t auto update but there’s literally a button to update all and it’s nice and blue and convenient. Guarantee no one reads “more” details

I mean, it’s well designed software with good intentions. But, when things are convenient people will just click update. This is why I don’t think “do what you will but I won’t update” is necessary the best approach. Yes, we can choose not to update, but for every one of us there will be 50 clicking “update all”

Remember those people you are talking about already care enough to run a node. Give them a bit more credit.

This is where Umbrel and Start9 can add UX to updates of significance to users.

That said, node runners aren’t exactly mindless update sheep.

ALSO: A bunch of set and forget node runners are on older releases.

I read it and choose whether or not to update. Umbrel also has knots. Umbrel is fine.
