Can't get addresses to load in mempool
romanz/electrs. This is a common choice for its low resource requirements, and most full-node distros use it. But while this implementation works great for basic queries, it will struggle with heavier ones (e.g. looking up addresses with many transactions)—especially when running on low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

Wasabi vs Electrum
To gain some privacy by using Electrum you should set up Tor on Network preferences or by installing your own Electrum server via Electrum Personal Server, ElectrumX or Electrs.

Full node still impossible ? Umbrel ? Mynode ?

⚡ Raspibolt Monthly Rundown 🌕 May 16th, 2022 - Guide & software updates, new Github pull requests & issues and other news
LND v0.14.3 - Release page - Upgrade guide This release contains only a series of bug fixes, and doesn't introduce any backwards compatible changes (database migrations, etc) from the prior version. Notable fixes in this release include: a fix to an invoice registry related deadlock, a fix for an edge case when running the remote signer operating mode, and a fix to ensure that 3rd parties sweeping an anchor UTXO doesn't lead to the wallet having a fragmented internal UTXO state, and a fix for a payment state inconsistency (a payment looks like it was stuck though no HTLCs exist).Full release notes.

Does anyone know how to setup electrum server on a Windows machine?
I'd install ElectRS (Electrum-server rust implementation) https://github.com/romanz/electrs/ in a virtual machine running Linux (for example Ubuntu in VirtualBox).

Looking for an indexer
Just for completeness, after struggling with the setup, it seems that more than "tweeks" are required.

Advice/suggestions on running a BTC node (w/ lnd) on a Mac Mini 2018
Both Bitcoin Core and LND have binaries available for macOS, for example. I have not seen an actual guide to set everything up on macOS tho. It's quite similar to Linux honestly.

LND Lightning Network implementation
Perhaps I should have used 'is'. You can see commits and the various improvements on the repo for the last month. This has been on going since it's inception in 2009 and here for the lightning implementation lnd. There are also two other lightning implementations. Keep in mind, a significant amount of these contributions come from volunteers like myself.
