My #umbrel bitcoin node doesn't connect to Tor anymore.

Noticed a new update (umbrelOS 1.7.4) that said something about non-working tor-connections, so I installed that, but still, the node doesn't get any tor-connections. Clearnet is fine, i2p is fine, it's just tor not working for some reason.

Anyone know what's up with that? Is there a quick fix?

Right now I needed to setup RPC to at least get a local connection to work for my Sparrow wallet, but I'd rather have it working over tor again, just like it did ~2weeks ago.

I was installing a couple of bitcoin-/lightning nodes on old laptops lately to play around and test stuff. One of the first things todo is always to disable the slepp/suspend/hibernate modes, which is basically just one command like

$ sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

But what I missed twice now was to also ignore the LidSwitch, which is something you don't really notice until you look at your cpu-load. So, if you're like me and run nodes like umbrel or start9 (otherwise you probably know what you'r doing) on laptops, check ur logind.conf and uncomment/edit the HandleLidSwitch entries

$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf [Login] HandleLidSwitch=ignore HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

My cpu-load went down from ~80+% to ~30% just doing that, which not only consumes less energy, but also gives me room to install more shit I don't actually need.

Just thought I'd tell ya.

Will take a while to sync it seems, but we're in no hurry. #bitcoin #umbrel #noderunner
