I don't anymore. I don't have the brains to operate a successful node, so i opt to avoid lightning as much as possible. Too many burns at too high a cost.

Give phoenix lightning wallet a try, when onchain fees are low open up a lightning channel and move sats around on the cheep. No need to operate your own node. Trust minimal, if channel gets forces closed the sats go back to your onchain wallet.
Yes! Of all my lightning wallet experiences, phoenix was by far the best. I only just recently stopped using it because of unknown failed transactions. Honestly, Phoenix is the only reason I don't poop on lightning more on here.
