Then don't use these nodes. Use mobile nodes.

I recently purchased one of these Nodeboxes from @k3tan and here's my experience.
- Quick delivery (about 4 days including a weekend, from Aus to NZ)
- Follow up email from Ketan to ask me how I was getting on
- Super fast setup. Having experienced setting up a Raspiblitz before I was mentally preparing myself for days and days of setup, but this was all done and running in about 10 mins. Literally follow the video to the letter and it's working. -Blockchain required a sync, as it had been out of use for a while but this took under a day. -Connected Mempool.space and Sparrow wallet in minutes for each.
- User interface is simple and clean, including a command line interface if you want to get down and dirty in Command Line.
- I would recommend this as a first node for people, as long as you understand the tradeoffs of receiving a server with Bitcoin Core and other software pre-installed that you haven't verified for yourself. -It even passed the wife test. I set the Nodebox up next to our router in the kitchen and she didn't even notice, it's small and slim and can fit anywhere. Extra points there!
So if you're not running a node yourself yet and want to, I'd recommend one of these for sure.
That's all.
