What about a refurbished notebook, 4-8 GB RAM, SSD with 1 TB, install Start 9 on it? Not much more than a Raspi but more reliable and faster. Personally I also like mini PCs like the Intel NUC. Good luck!
One of the few pubs I am still reading. When most others went lockstep and pushed the C19 vaccine propaganda Epoch Times published articles on vaccine side effects and injuries. I have saved hundreds of ET articles in my library.
You are so fortunate to be a twen in the age of Bitcoin. I considered the money to be broken in the 80ies, was searching for a store of value and ended up collecting stamps.

Nicolas was disappointed about payment service BtcPay and started to work on his own software, the meanwhile famous BTCPay Server.

Running #StartOS by https://start9.com
This has been my fastest and easiest server installation ever. The initial blockchain download took half a day over Tor. I start with the services for #BitcoinCore, #electrs and #Mempool. Many additional services are available. Looking forward to putting the setup to use.
I have been running Umbrel for over two years on an Ubuntu VM on Proxmox. It's stable, sometimes it runs for months until I reboot after an OS update. However, recently there has been talk of Umbrel frequently sending the server IP address to Umbrel HQ. I am switching to Start9, IBD is running.
These days I am catching up with #Seedsigner #[0]
Fascinating project. The #SeedQR approach is appealing. Have a look at "Talking In Bits" interviewing Seedsigner dev Keith Mukai #[1]
There's also Anita Posch.

Hodling comrade here.
I once tried Bitcoin Core on a Raspberry 3. The initial blockchain download took four weeks. I then switched to an Intel NUC. Very happy now. It has an i7 and 2 TB SSD. I use Proxmox as virtualization layer and operate several VM, one of them with Umbrel. It runs for months without issues, less than 10 W power consumption.
I have pity-zapped. You‘ll be in Zap land soon, too.
Re. what was going on - have you come across #[1]? He regularly posts an overview of a Nostr day, like this one for yesterday. (First time quoting a note in Astral so it may go wrong 😁.)
#[4]
It’s not available in the regular Damus version yet, only in the Testflight version. Testflight is fully booked currently AFAIK.

TAKE BOTH PILLS.. 🟣🟠
Here are many beautiful and soothing visualisations also for your journey into the #Bitcoin rabbit hole:
Transactions fall tetris-like calmly in their spot. You see the mempool fill up and once the block is mined something magical happens and all the transaction transform into this colourful block. My favourite!
Cant go wrong with Mempool.space. The blocks are nicely lined-up and move when the new one is mined. Pretty colours and some nice stats! Made with a lot of love and it shows!
* https://timechaincalendar.com/
Cool one-pager with all the timechain info you need. You can even go back in time to see what block was mined at a specific date and time!
New transactions fall like raindrops, simple and elegant!
Bubbles, whats not to love? Each dot is a transaction and they get added smooth and playful!
All the lightning channels to see! Zoom in, zoom out, have it static, it's nice.
* https://bitnodes.io/nodes/network-map/
Galaxy like view of Bitcoin nodes, this one is beautiful!
A spinning globe centring a transaction! A bit to fast, bit noisy. Fun to watch anyway! Good distraction for a few minutes!
The mempool, but then as a crowded bus station. Cartoonish and fun to watch!
Thanks if you read all to here.. hope I did not spam your feed and You will find something you needed. Cheers! #Plebchain

you have to guess what will happen in Eu on the economic sida, use Italy as your canary in the coal mine. Look here at the negative real interest rate on the 10year yields. It is almost 24 months now.
Italy soon will have to embrace some big changes in its internal politics directly influenced by the EU or it will not be helped more as it was since now. Also Italians should prepare themselves to see big changes in their 10years contracts.. it was al already written about possible changes if something external would heavily impact on general economic conditions, it is just written in small font, and many didn't read it..
