a lightning node is a hot wallet and you don't want bad actors accessing your those funds. sometimes software has vulnerabilities that can give bad actors remote access to your system so be careful about what other software you install beyond node stuff

Woah. Thinking about this.
So some Lightning wallets are centralized and custodial (like Wallet Of Satoshi).
Some are web based and custodial like Alby.
Some are non custodial like Phoneix but use their Acinq node, which is a hot Wallet ultimately? I don't understand Lightning at this level lol.
Lightning nodes are all hot. I want to know moar!
