I'm particularly interested in applying to those exact conditions...wildfire response and industrial timber stand data collection/analysis. I'm stoked!
I made a critical mistake last night while hardening my home network and inadvertently blocked necessary routing through my node with a dumb firewall rule. I didn't catch it and htlc's were stuck while I slept. My node broadcasted a force close commitment. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
What I learned/surmised yesterday happened in a whirlwind, so the details aren't quite clear to me yet.
> Node fine, no issues
> apply newly learned firewall rules, go to sleep
> wake up, see force close
> panic
> firewall logs show blocked IP's to node while sleep
> nuke firewall rules
The particular network firewall rule was 'Drop invalid state', which I don't fully understand and blindly applied as part of an overall hardening guide.
So, to attempt answering your question given my limited knowledge:
An offline node doesn't seem to cause anything to get stuck, but an online node with broken LAN routing appears to be a real issue.
Perhaps my node appeared as viable in the graph, accepted an htlc, but threw it in the fuckin trash? 🤷♂️
What I just said doesn't quite add up to me, because I'm wondering why my own node would broadcast a force close if it was in fact the 'bad actor'. I was under the impression that other nodes in the route would force close as a result of my node not 'playing fairly'.
All I know is the only variable out of place here is that LAN firewall rule.
Sorry to hear that! Sleep has always been a challenge for me.
The most important thing you can do is make sure you get 10-30 minutes of low-angle UV light in your eyes as soon as possible after waking up, and most importantly before 9AM or so (depending on where on the earth you live). It activates a biological clock by signaling cells located in the bottom half of your eyes (convex eyes invert image so the cells at the bottom of the eye need the sunlight from above). The clock tells your body to release cortisone for the day, and then taper off and release serotonin/melatonin about 12-14 hours later. Limit blue light at least one hour before sleep.
Dr. Andrew Huberman changed my life. He's a professor of opthalmology at Stanford and has a podcast where he shares science based tools to optimize all aspects of life.
I credit him with staying sober, implementing all kinds of protocols for health, and most importantly improving sleep.

Anyone have battery backup model suggestions?
I need it for node (NUC), modem, and router (Ubiquity UDR), so a relatively low power requirement.
