.NET 8 Standalone 50% Smaller On Linux
41% of EVM nodes on Ethereum run .NET on Linux via Nethermind(https://github.com/NethermindEth/nethermind).
Ethereum has a Market Cap of $249Bn and $34bn of other assets in smart contracts.
So you could say .NET on Linux has under management $116Bn and handles $800m of asset transfers per day, napkin math

Nethermind v1.20.0-RC released today I'll probably wait for the final release before upgrading on mainnet, but I've already been enjoying the massively improved logging on Goerli.

Happy with Nethermind, reinstalled and was offline for only 10 epochs
I've been concerned that my Nethermind docker container has been taking too much disk (1.13 TB), so I decided to delete it and start again, specially because the new versions (https://github.com/NethermindEth/nethermind/releases) say they are storage saving options.
- Nethermind v1.19.0 released! Significant storage reduction.

Help needed to navigate in lodestar code
I think I found it. This pull request helped me: https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/pull/3782

Somer's guides are awesome and extremely thorough, but they help you learn to build a validator from scratch. In practice, I always download client binaries rather than building from scratch. You can find the lodestar releases page here.

My mainnet lodestar node crashed today. Thankfully, the validator process switched over to my backup lighthouse node without missing a single attestation.

Daily Goerli: I've been periodically running into some issues when updating nethermind which require force killing the Nethermind.Runner process. Recently had an issue where geth in lodestar-geth thought it was waiting for updates from lodestar, but lodestar was reporting connection refused. A restart of geth fixed it. I'm currently running into No state found for id 'head' in all lodestar instances, which was supposed to be fixed by this PR. I also recently encountered a long stack error from erigon in prysm-erigon when closing to update, but restarting both clients allowed sync to resume.

How to merge an Ethereum network right from the genesis block
The following sections outline how to configure an execution-layer client and a consensus-layer client so that they have everything in place to execute the entire merge already in the genesis block. Here, we'll use Geth and Lodestar.
