A Bitcoin node will detect bugs in the matrix
since I'm not seeing any serious memory or disk issues, and assuming there are no bugs in bitcoin-core, I wonder if my bitcoin node is getting hit by cosmic rays and bits are getting flipped every now and then, leading to leveldb checksum errors.
I looked into ECC ram but I may need to build a home server, since it's not common in desktops motherboards.
Is this is why you’ve been going on about ecc memory Semisol 👨💻 (npub1226…grkj) ? I found a post about it from greg maxwell 10 years ago as well, saying all his non-laptop machines use ecc memory:

quoting note1ktn…z0sfapparently my bitcoind leveldb corrupted *yet again* so I have to redownload the entire blockchain from scratch. ffs. leveldb is terrible.
