I fucked up.

Few weeks ago I bought a used Intel NUC (originally released in 2015) on Ebay. Figured I'd save some money by DIYing a server for StartOS.

Ran an update, clicked restart, and it never turned back on.

I've been in the process of troubleshooting. Ordered a new power adapter, but it's likely dead.

Thank god I never followed through with creating some lightning channels. Would make this way more complicated.

Going forward I'm just going to get new hardware. It's worth the extra money and peace of mind.

I'll be trusting other nodes in the meantime. Fingers crossed.
