 Gotta love troubleshooting my bitcoin node. Just pressing the restart button like 20 times over again normally  fixes it 😆. I can kinda see people's arargument that the Lightning network is held together with ductape and dreams.  
 What are you running? I almost NEVER have issues with my Start9. Small exception was Tor connectivity, but found out that was a rogue service that was resetting my Tor connection every couple minutes. 
 I'm using umbrel. I don't normally have issues unless I get like power outage (even tho I have a UPS). I've heard nothing but good things about start9. I thinking of updating my set up in the new year.  
 On a R-Pi or Umbrel Home? 
 Pi. Im a space bum not a space whale 😆 
 Yeah, last year I upgraded from my old R-Pi Umbrel to a Start9. The R-Pis just aren't great for running full nodes anymore. My Umbrel was really struggling and I had to reboot the damn thing every few days or it would fall out of sync with the Bitcoin chain. 
 I upgraded from R-Pi by buying a mini pc and installed Start9 on it. I will never go back! The documents are accurate and the software runs well. 
I never had problems with my umbrel, but I only run a few apps on it.
