I enjoy messing around with it, but I don't want to develop and addictive +habit of checking on it all day long. + +So, I have decided to: + +- Set up an automatic monitor with uptime kuma that will trigger warnings if + the service stops working. +- Keep all the node-chores for sunday afternoon and just breeze through them. + +To support the second point, here is my checklist of chores: + +- Check transactions and forwards. Put any that happened into the accounting + book. +- Buy any grocery vouchers that are needed. +- Send any BTC from other wallets into here that is needed. +- Check the uptime statistics of all my channel peers in thunderhub. Judge if + any of them should be removed because they are behaving like shit. +- Open channels/swaps in lnplus if necessary. +- Check up on 1ml to see how well is the node ranking. +- Check up on lightning terminal to see how is the node being judged. +- Check up on lightning pool to see if it's finally T1. +- Check that uptime kuma is running properly. +- Check if there are any relevant umbrel updates. +- Check the content of the lightningnetwork and umbrel subreddits. +- Put anything relevant in the accounting book again. +- Backup the channel states.
