EthStaker

Woke up to a flurry of failed attestations from my solo validator.

The NUC’s SSD finally gave up the ghost after three years of intense I/O. Not the most pleasant start of a Sunday, but I was expecting it at some point, and had a spare SSD on hand.

Swapped the disks, flashed Ubuntu Server, clean-installed eth-docker, and less than one hour of tinkering later, I am now syncing from checkpoint, which should complete by tomorrow.

Running a solo validator does take some effort, and the rewards of ~2.7% APY aren’t much, but putting the de- in decentralization is priceless
