My home staking Besu decided to die on me, got its database corrupted, and is now costing me $$$ while it resyncs from scratch. It's almost completely my fault, so I'm not complaining. I probably hadn't so much as SSH'd into the node for 1-2 months, so clients were all out of date. On top of that, my phone started giving me notifications that Besu was having some periodic downtime; I think if I don't restart the node for a long time I get accumulated memory leaks of some sort that start giving Besu OOM errors. And while it does auto-restart, at some point those crashes are going to corrupt my DB. But I took a few days to get around to it, and by then it was too late.

Don't be lazy, maintain your nodes.
