 Can one open private channels to other individual noderunners from nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub (cloud node)? 

Or can you only open channels to the recommended LSPs?

I see *where* to open a channel to a “custom peer” so it seems doable, but not entirely sure how to start. 

Do you contact the other person and both set it up simultaneously? Does one person just enable it and the other is somehow notified of an inbound channel-open-request? What’s the actual process of two individuals opening a Lightning channel between their nodes?

Any recommended documentation will be appreciated (and zapped) 🫡
