Phones controlling LN nodes, Mastering the Lighting Network, and Eternal Channels [2021]

Chapters
0:00 I’m a bit fearful of running a LN wallet on my phone since the app or my phone are not always on. But running a node on my always on desktop at home is not handy and mobile. Can I run a combination where my phone controls the node?
3:04 How can we contribute to Mastering the Lightning Network by providing translations to other languages? I have briefly looked in GitHub but I couldn’t find any reference, maybe I haven’t been looking carefully.
5:35 Is there an upper bound to the lifetime of a Lightning channel? Could I keep it open forever?
