 So I was reading @npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll user manual again and I couldn't find  guide on how to use @npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Lightning Address to receive payments directly to my StartOS server. Not sure if this is 100% safe or correct but this is what I did.
Step 1. Get a new macacoon from StartOS Thunderhub.
Go to Thunderhub > Tools > Bakery. Bake a new macaroon with ONLY "Create Invoices" and "Get Invoices" checked Yes. Copy the HEX macaroon for Step 3 use later.

Step 2. Get your StartOS LND REST API Host Address.
Go to LND > Inferfaces > Control Interface (gRPC and REST connection). Get the Tor Address but use https instead of http and add port number 8080 at the end of the address e.g. https://somelongtext.onion:8080. (Warning: Do NOT use/copy the full LND Connect REST URL that you find under Properties as it includes the full access admin macaroon.)

Step 3. Get Alby to connect to your StartOS server.
Login to getalby.com > Dashboard. Go to Settings, enter the macaroon and LND REST from Step 1 and Step 2, the click "Connect your node" to save.

That's it!

 Looks complicated for new ones asf but reading a resume guide for only the necessary without other stuff should work for most cases.

don't mind me just checking your struggles and what awaits for me in the future. 
 I'm just a weeb so if I can do it everybody can, well not "evvvverybody" 😂 
 Question for @Start9 users. I am using Alby as a federated Lightning Address for my StartOS node, is there any other options out there? Just want another Lightning address to get zapped directly to my node.

 If you are talking about associating a LN address directly to your Start9, then you can try what I did.
