I feel your pain. Currently running a node on 2GB of RAM. Is your 8GB noticeably faster?
Discussion
I've just moved from an 8GB RPi + 2TB SSD to a Lenovo ThinkCentre i7 with 32GB RAM + 2TB SSD
I'm also trying Start9's EmbassyOS and I'm thinking of moving to Core Lightning (CLN), researching the difference to LND.
So you ran the umbrel os on the ThinkCentre?
Right now the big difference I notice with CLN compared to LND is that rebalancing channels on CLN is either a pain, or not possible (if you’re a dummy like me). But I also understand that the CLN devs are working on implementing splicing, which should make rebalancing a relative cinch. I’m hoping it’ll be implemented in an easy to use way with Embassy.
I’m using CLBOSS on my Embassy CLN node, which is automatically managing channels for me. It’s pretty cool.
I decided to stick with LND for now, but will keep an eye on CLN development.
Yes, there’s a huge difference with the 8GB
Another note, during the ordinal / inscription debacle I learned the RAM gets used up queuing up transactions from my understanding.
I imagine it will only get worse as bad stewards continue to monetize their shill.
Love how right after you call out a shill… a shill comments on your note 😂
Good to know. Idk how to get around it. I’m running core 24.1 on Umbrel.
Oh thank goodness! Going from 2GB to 8GB is probably gonna feel like getting out of a Fiat and jumping into a Ferrari lol
