Lightning noob tips from one noob to another

So my node was leaving tons of loop outs pending lately and I didnt know what to do about it. I had two stuck one from yesterday one from today and after searching I read that restarting the node should clear these. (Restarting worked to clear the pending loop outs!) Its worth mentioning this is the first time i have ever restarted my node since i started it (one week ago) so if youre in this position I highly recommend a restart to prevent any of these pending errors. Also if your GUI restart is failing or hanging(taking forever) then restart with ssh ( ssh umbrel@umbrel.local, then sudo reboot). I wanted to post this because this info is kindof burried on reddit and I think it should be common knowledge. Cheers people have a nice day!

​

edit: also be very patient with a reboot, do NOT unplug your pi. force rebooting may take a little time but its much better than forcing your pi to turn off through a unexpected power cut.

​

edit2: it turns out the restart only solved one pending loop out from today not the one from yesterday, but the fact that i can use my liquidity from the successful loop out means the pending one is not blocking me anymore so thats good!
