I used a raspery for core node + LN node but I had a power outage and the hard drive got rendered unusable, I have been able to retrieve all the funds but for my next one im gonna need an uninterruptible power supply item, or maybe there is a software solution ?
This is what you should do with RPi nodes
I always said: the weakest link for a RPi node is the fucking USB connection to the drive. is fucking idiotic to use that for a node!

RPi's may not be as reliable as other advanced machines, and they may not be the ideal choice for Lightning Nodes. However, I specifically inquired about their suitability for Bitcoin Nodes (not Lightning). Personally, I am using an RPi with a case that supports M.2 SATA SSD, eliminating the need for a USB cable. I can't see the reason to not recommend a cheap lower-power RPi for a non Lightning node, that's why i asked.
