Anybody here runnning a Base node for fun? Not as a developer

I make lights blink and play with crypto (cryptography and cryptocurrency) at /neynar. they/them or he/him

Fair point. In a highly geeky sort of way, I think it can. I got deep into the r/homelab rabbit hole and had a 19” 12U rack, UPS, patch panel, pfSense, a Lenovo rack server, etc and was experimenting with running as many services as I could.

It taught me a considerable amount about networking, the Linux CLI, Docker

I wouldn’t know, the only thing I run is my mouth

No, but I'm certain it's better than running an SHA-256, lol

Only a developer would run a node for fun. 🤭
