it’s 2025 fuck users that run nodes locally for personal use and royally fuck those amongst us that are holding the whole fucking ecosystem back in order to cater to the autistic fucktards that run nodes locally

wut It’s sorta like, the whole decentralisation ethos If it’s outrageously expensive or prohibitive to run a node, your network becomes centralised. Don’t care so much if L2s are centralised, but mainnet should always strive to optimise for local node runners. Also makes for FAR cheaper points of entry for businesses when they’re not reliant on paying infura through the nose for a grand total of 3 RPC calls a month.

Nope, even had to experience the pain of running a polygon edge node. Don’t run one nowadays as it’s far cheaper and less painful to just pay a provider with high-speed rpcs and archive node access, but the idea that individual node hosting should be obsoleted is a fed mindset

I do run a local node, did before the merge and have been running one post-merge. Is it the easiest thing to setup? No. Can we make that easier? Yes. For example, most of the time the docker compose files aren't provided in docs, just commands... that's like a 5 minute fix. I'm very confused and curious about the whole "f everyone who runs a local node" comment. Genuinely curious. Why?
