I am, not sure why yet. I have never had great luck at keeping something like that running in the long term, so I'm afraid of setting up a lightning node and getting burned. I understand backups are a thing, but I need a solid weekend or two to test it out and maybe a second price of hardware; the first thing I installed on my current setup is a password manager that I am quickly becoming dependent on, I want to test a lightning node in isolation. I'll say someone on nostr had a transaction sitting in their own mempool for like 3-4 months while fees were high before it got confirmed, that's pretty cool.
