    My home staking Besu decided to die on me, got its database corrupted, and is now costing me $$$ while it resyncs from scratch. It’s almost completely my fault, so I’m not complaining. I probably hadn’t so much as SSH’d into the node for 1-2 months, so clients were all out of date. On top of that, my phone started giving me notifications that Besu was having some periodic downtime; I think if I don’t restart the node for a long time I get accumulated memory leaks of some sort that start giving Besu OOM errors. And while it does auto-restart, at some point those crashes are going to corrupt my DB. But I took a few days to get around to it, and by then it was too late.

    Don’t be lazy, maintain your nodes.

        Eh, probably just need to be better about staying on top of client updates. If every time there’s a Besu or Lighthouse release, I check in, do a full system update, and restart clients as needed, it’ll probably be frequent enough to keep everything running smoothly.
