I've got a spare Raspberry Pi 3, and a 120GB SSD. What's the simplest way to start a Lightning node?

I know that 120GB isn't close to enough to store the full chain, but I understand that this isn't always completely necessary?

I have enough experience to get a Pi up and running as a personal Samba server and seedbox with help from tutorials. I have basic knowledge of navigating a unix terminal. That's about it.

Is there a relatively simple and quick, and - most importantly - secure, way to get a Lightning node up and running? I want to do my part to help, plus I hear I can stack a few sats on fess if I get lucky.

Thanks

(I'm expecting a lot of replies that begin with: "First, get a Pi 4 and a 500GB-1TB SSD")

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

15 years of BTC Power Law

5 years ago I made a post in this subreddit showing that BTC is a power law: Price=A*days^n, (days from Genesis Block), n=5.8. Many didn't believe me and said the past doesn't predict the future. Well, after 5 years it turns out that BTC continues its power law behavior with similar exponent. A power law is not another formula or model but the same mathematical behavior behind river formation, mountains growth, cities development, GDP vs population, and metabolic rate. Everything important is ruled by power laws, so BTC. BTC is a force of Nature.
