Daily Goerli: I've been testing this PR for besu for the past several days, and the stability of nimbus-besu has improved substantially. Looking forward to it getting merged into main.

Yes, it's gotten better. I don't recommend pairing with nimbus until this issue gets fixed or prysm until something is done to reduce the amount of time it takes to recover from being offline for a day or more.

Daily Goerli: On Friday, I reported a RocksDB issue that was causing besu to error and exit immediately. The bad commit has been identified and a fix has been issued. lodestar-nethermind somehow ended up on an invalid fork which isn't resolved by restarting either client. Waiting to see how each client team responds and if they need more info, but might need to do a resync.

Daily Goerli: A whole lot more detail on the lighthouse db corruption issue I posted about previously. There's a warning that's been quite frequent on my erigon nodes for a while that doesn't seem to have any impact on its performance. I asked if it should be downgraded to INFO here.

Did I really waited 259 days and missed a 2,29 ethereum block proposal?
