umbrel VS firmware

I really thought this article was going to offer a solution, not just enumerate the problems. I'm already all too familiar with the problems.

I like what Umbrel[0] is doing. They're essentially expecting that just like computing was able to move from centralized mainframes to homes, servers are poised to make the same migration.

I think they really need to solve redundancy, though. If I'm to self-host anything important on a home server, I need to know I'll have some way to use it even if my home server fails, especially if I'm not at home when it happens.

I'd love to see some kind of system where I could partner up with other Umbrel users for backups/the ability to restore connectivity. If I knew that in an emergency, I could call my friend in town or my brother out of state and there was some procedure that would allow me to connect to an encrypted backup of what I'm needing, I would feel a lot better about taking responsibility for my own system.

I did my node via umbrel super easy to setup ;) https://umbrel.com

It's also not secure according to the repo here: https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/blob/master/SECURITY.md

For those interested in setting up a their own lightning node, check out Raspibolt, Umbrel, Plebnet .

There are a few raspberry pi solutions, including: - https://umbrel.com

I did it with the instructions/tutorial from https://umbrel.com/

TIP: Use the BoM as well as the schematic.

As you can see, the default firmware of Coldcard is hardcoded with values d13e and cc10. We are going to change it to make it look like a benign USB device, more on it later. First, clone the original firmware from Github: https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware We now need to edit the file called ./stm32/COLDCARD/shared/usb.py: COINKITE_VID = 0xd13e CKCC_PID = 0xcc10

Software altered? You were supposed to download from source and flash it yourself. So why did you alter it? No one other than you could have altered it! https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware

Coldcard

Consider holding long term with a solution like this. Have you ever use a hardware wallet like a coldcard

Coldcard has many other security features as well. You can find more about them online. Probably the safest hard & cold wallet on the market right now. But most people don't buy it because of their $400 price tag. But definitely worth it for anyone holding more than a pretty penny.

You can check it

it’s a cold wallet that only holds BTC
