Thanks for the feedback.
I have run Lightning-nodes on Raspberry Pi in the past. I would not recommend it at all. Listen to NVK.
Raspberry Pi was once upon a time relatively cheap. Now it’s expensive compared:
- to hardware that is a lot better hardware and chips from other vendors than Broadcom
- which is open source, instead of close source - with better redundancy (with Proxmox)
- for a cheaper price
Raspberry Pi has its use cases. Lightning nodes, with real hard money, with absolute scarcity, on a hot wallet, is not one of them.
From the other side, Seedsigner does use Raspberry Pi. But it’s not a Lightning node.
“A custom linux based operating system built to manage software running on airgapped Bitcoin signing device. SeedSigner is both the project name and application running on airgapped hardware. This custom operating system, like all operating systems, manages the hardware resources and provides them to the application code. It's currently designed to run on common Raspberry Pi hardware with accessories. The goal of SeedSigner OS is to provide an easy, fast, and secure way to build microSD card image to securely run SeedSigner code.”

Here's a great guide, straight from bitcoin dot org https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#setup-a-full-node
Me and nostr:npub1rznlzpg529u8j39a8qe7tapsygd54qp5qyr5jyue7whwpw79rsjqmzr4ly would highly recommend running a Bitcore Core node on StartOS from Start9. Then you can use Electrs with Sparrow Wallet from nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2
You can buy so called “node in a box” from Start9.
Both the nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll Server One and Server Pro are literally awesome. Their customer service from the co-founders Matt Hill and Aiden McClelland is even better. I would characterize it as world class. I have personal experience. Thanks Aiden.
Both the Server One and Server Pro (former Server Pure) comes with 2 or 4 TB SSD.
The Start9 HP EliteDesk 800 G3 (Refurbished) also comes with 2 or 4 TB SSD.
If you’re into DIY I highly recommend this guide on “known good hardware”

Although it's a meditation and mindfulness app, and not only a sleep app, I would highly recommend Headspace.
I've been using Headspace since 2017.
Even though the rats showed up the other day, I really enjoy feeding the birds and squirrels. It gives me joy and peace of mind.
Some days, the deer show up to eat sunflower seeds or things that grow in the garden.
