Of yeah, there was a comment in one the 402 Payment Required guides on YouTube to this effect. Is lnd still on the shit list? I'm thinking of closing my lnd node. It's one of the last things that I have in Umbrel (and served by a pruned node and administered by Thunderhub.) If I shut that down, I can get rid of Umbrel. Umbrel has been okay but other stuff on the server is hindered by it because it monopolises nginx. I prefer to manage containers myself with Portainer and I've pushed bitcoin-core (unpruned) onto another server.

Not sure, I don't really keep up. There's definitely a connection to the WEF, I just didn't realise they were behind LND. I've been unimpressed by the forced channel closures & they're reluctance to incorporate Bolt 12 is a concern. My umbrel is needing to be decommissioned & I'll firing up a CLN Node on Start9 I think. I need to order a 2TB SSD because 1TB doesn't really cut it anymore.
