Your optimism does not disappoint.
It seems I have some work to do.
(Today I learned from @ek that I can use NWC with my own LN node to use my own wallet with SN. Then I fell down a rabbit hole full of docker thorns trying to use NWC with Phoenixd cause wouldn't that be a cool way to get to self-custodial LN on stacker news? I didn't manage to get it working, but if I keep banging my head at it, it will stay in my mind and then I'll notice when someone who actually knows what they are doing makes it work.)
I am optimist about LN because I tested so many apps, nodes, solutions and create various scenarios with them, based on what people near me, IRL asked me how to use BTC in x scenario.
All my guides are real life scenarios, that I tested myself before I wrote those guides.
I do not like to talk about things I do not know or control. For example you will never see me into a discussion about writing code. That is my weak point, I know shit about coding.
But I know very well, economics, business, accounting, IT, networks, servers because all my life I was into these, I was the connection between end users and those building hardware and software.
Usually developers don't bother too much listening what end users want or do not understand all the processes into a business. But my experience of many years in this field helped me see very clearly where each application can fit.

Phoenixd is very good. The only thing I do not like at it is that works only with ACINQ node, all channels are with the same LSP.

Im interested in it for the easiest possible way to run self-custody LN. If it gets to the point where you run a command or two and click connect in a few apps and you have a self-custody LN wallet, that's something I can convince friends and merchants to use.

Yes, for that is phoenixd.

What is "Phoenix drive"? Do you mean Phoenix Server?
