Aside from finance, a big motivation to buy a home in the UK is to have more self-determination in your home life. Renting places you under someone else's control to a large extent. You often can't decorate much. Can't fit

Some Erigon nodes run with pruning enabled. You can't tell which ones those are, or how much pruning. Technically you can tell which Geth nodes are archive nodes with a GetNodeData query over devp2p, although that call is deprecated
