GM! Zaps now sent thru @ZEUS via my own node. Buy a @Start9 or @umbrel and open a decent sized channel to the Nodestrich node and you can too. I promise this entire process end to end takes maybe an hour. Just watch a @BTCsessions video and you’ve got this. If I can do it then you can too.
Congratulations You are kinda centralized. You are relying on a lot of third-party software there. If you want freedom, install Linux and lightning by yourself
Build with other builders. I understand what you’re saying here but as long as you’re not putting more liquidity on your LN node than you’re willing to lose, then my personal take would be to build alongside your neighbor. Trust precedes verification.
What external harddrive are you using for your @umbrel node?
Just my personal preference, I prefer to buy products from those companies to support the project
