Oh boy, this is embarrassing.
I went on vacation for four weeks. During that time, I had a power outage at home, and it disconnected. When I came back, I.. well, I hadn't written down the password to access the raspberry and I've been too lazy to reformat and re-setup and re-sync since. I should get on that.

Why the password I use for a lot of things is "abcdefgh"
Passwords have probably lead to more funds lost than thefts recovered.

I agree. First thing I always do when I configure SSH for a new server is to disable root login and disallow password authentication. SSH keys only - and hope everyone protected their SSH keys with passwords :)
Obviously, make sure you don't lock yourself out, lol

You're not afraid of anyone stealing your funds when HTLCs expire?

well, I only did it to run the bitcoin node, the lightning one came on top of it (raspi) and I only "loaded" it with a symbolic amount to open channels more or less experimentally
