I've been lazy and have run Umbrel for the last 18 months. Gonna set up Bitcoin Core and Core LN this weekend!

Don't get me wrong I love Umbrel and the neat UX they have designed but it's time to take more responsibility in terms of choosing what software and version I run, and to get a better understanding of the technical details

In addition, the Umbrel security concept when I last checked the project was flawed. They were trusting the local network fully.

Yeah I believe that's still the case

I have to check this again myself.

This on a pi or something?

U bet. Raspberry Pi 4 8GB Ram, Samsung T7 external SSD

Might check out the Intel NUCs or something similar soon though

Yes I have been also looking into alternative HW for LN. Pi is cranking up hard these days.

I asked about node hardware on StackerNews, https://stacker.news/items/30655

> an old pc running linux

This is the way
