You may want to keep an eye on uptime to be sure something isn’t hard power cycling the host, and dmesg to be sure the bitcoind process isn’t getting OOM killed.
I’ve had issues with the later on an RPI4. JSON-RPC calls from Fulcrum or Electrs syncs also seem to be able to use an unbounded amount of memory…
I think ungraceful stops of the bitcoind process at the right time can cause the chainstate DB to come unsynced from the blockchain DB in ways that require reindexing. The really bad throughput of the RPi4’s USB3 ports for block storage may exasperate this
I’m not disagreeing with this, and I’m not sure that there’s a way to unwind this reality without great pain, but…

Thay grew up with a government staffed by a marginally more competent generation of bureaucrats who didn’t have to worry about cameras wired to the internet in everyone’s pocket
Is there a content language tag in the NIPs yet? e.g. having the option for relays to index on an `l` tag that clients automagically inject into human-readable notes from environment data
Detecting content language by making API calls to some translation services seems expensive
Wage inflation is the real currency/bank killer here, and, I think, a major driver of the current immigration policy: let in lots of low skill workers to fill jobs at low wages to squash the runaway wage inflation post-stimulus in 2021.
This has probably driven up unemployment, and consumer credit delinquency as result, but helped to stabilize corporate credit and slow price inflation.
