Be Digitally Sovereign! The computer movement where we make it easy to run your own Bitcoin/Lightning Node, private Bitcoin point of sale, private cloud, private messaging with voice and video calling, private website hosting, and private Bitcoin buying and selling to name a few all on one device called the Sovran Pro.

All New Sovran Pros now have 32GB of RAM!!

DDR5 16GB + 16GB Swap.

Now you can verify the blockchain even smoother than before.

This is how you do it!

I am tired of people running shity nodes on RPi. They are stubborn in not want to understand that their shity node crashing could affect the whole network.

When these people will learn that they can still run a PRIVATE node (with unannounced channels), that are enough to pay the beer/coffee over LN.

FFS throw that RPi node to the fucking garbage!

When people will understand that the weak point for RPi nodes is the DC card and the USB cable that is literally fucking the data drive?

BTC and LN require a huge traffic I/O for both SD card and the data drive (no matter you use SSD or HDD). The simple fact that the drive is NOT internal is fucking this I/O traffic. And your node always get fucked.

If you want to run a PUBLIC ROUTING node, then get a fucking SERIOUS machine, with INTERNAL drives and in RAID. Also have 100% good maintenance and a lot of liquidity.

FFS stop running public nodes with less than 1BTC liquidity!

Correct, you need good hardware and a good setup. Running on an SD card that is external is no good.

I do hope that more people will awaken and Bitcoin can be a way for them to stop participating in their evil.

Thinking of hosting a website?

You got 4 main options:

1) Shared hosting plans

2) Rent a VPS

3) Rent a dedicated server

4) Host it in your home

Shared hosting plans:

This option is the cheapest, but you got a few problems. First, the host usually will use Cloudflare to save money. That's how they give such low rates, because they don't even really host it. They just have a tiny 1 core CPU that's not even fully allocated to you, telling Cloudflare what the files are. Cloudflare will be happy to censor you at government request.

Second, its not using open source software. You usually get cPanel, which is a company collecting your use-data. Maybe you say you don't care, but your customers should. This lack of open source also means shared hosting plans usually are not setup for email privacy.

Rent a VPS:

This is the best option in my opinion. Although it's not perfect, don't let perfection scare you. The main issue is you're sharing hardware with other random customers, which has security issues for tinfoil hat level privacy. Ultimately the cost of a dedicated server isn't worth it for most.

The other issue you MAY run into is if your host really doesn't allocate any resources to you, and they share all of them even if you paid for allocated. I nickname these "slut VPS"

Dedicated:

High cost, with the most security & privacy. You can get cheaper plans though with less resources. By the way, SimplifiedPrivacy.com is on a dedicated in Malaysia, with an Iceland DNS host.

Hosting in your home:

Due to the corrupt centralization of the internet, residential ISPs will bandwidth cap. Depending on your country and provider, they likely won't even let you buy unlimited because they want to force the use of data centers. They are looking to control the internet, and also to prevent their IP addresses from being commercially restricted due to controversial use. But you can host Tor Onions without much issue beyond speed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I recommend a VPS for most people. Tinfoil hat privacy people go for dedicated, like me.

And normies go for shared and are bitch slaves to cPanel & Cloudflare's empire. But..
