Unless you’re fairly technically inclined, I don’t recommend starting with mining.
Try earning sats by engaging in discussions here. You’ll learn a lot in the process and that might help you figure out the right path for you.

You can start small with a Bitaxe. Just getting everything setup to where you're receiving sats will be a good learning experience.

No node is needed?

Not to get started. You can just plug it in and point it to a pool like Ocean. You will need a bitcoin address, though.
Once you have that set up, you can move on to figuring out how to receive lightning payments from Ocean and setting up a node.

If I did it secretly it might work 😂 but I'd have to get a miner first
