Perhaps you would like to run your own SPK node (or a DLUX or DUAT node, but the networks of both nodes aren't working right now) which might help support the #Honeycomb SPK network! 😎😅

Since I can only really run one laptop 24/7 with our present electrical resources, that's not feasible, as I've mentioned before. I am not going to try to run two nodes on the same system. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When was the last time you tried to run a virtual machine (VM) on one of your laptops? 🤔 I would safely assume that you would use only Linux (and Android) OSes there. 😅

I used to run Windows, and explore other distros of Linux in VMs, though I haven't had the need to use them in a good while, years at this point. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think that you would use VMs if ever you decide to host other nodes (the #Honeycomb SPK node in this case), so that any problem with the node would unlikely affect your laptop itself (as you can simply shut down the VM in case it uses up more CPU and RAM than you expect). 🤓

My system's pretty hefty, 64GB of RAM, and a 13th-generation i9 processor, so I'm sure that the system itself could handle it, but it would also mean that I'd use a whole lot more bandwidth and data, which wouldn't be good, since I already use more than anyone else in the community. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Running a #Honeycomb node would !INDEED use up significantly more bandwidth, as the last time @savvytester checked about 3 years ago when all of the SPK, DLUX, and DUAT networks were up, it takes roughly 1 GB per day to keep a node up, and that's after the initial sync which is somewhere between 5 to 20 GB. 💸🤯🤯😅

Yep, exactly, that's precisely part of why I don't run more than one node, Qortal, which between it and updating my Arch Linux installations, uses a huge amount of bandwidth each month as it is now. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Perhaps when much more network bandwidth is available for your local jungle community (and you in particular), you would finally try hosting some of those nodes (likely in a VM first). 😏
