I stopped procrastinating about it and finished building my new lightning node last night. It is running Eclair (thanks to nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w). I transferred some funds to it, opened a small channel to my old node for testing, and confirmed I can make payments. I need to do a little more testing before opening more/bigger channels but all seems to be working so far.
