"passive" in that I open up my wallet 1-2 times per week and initiate the staking process with my available funds. Takes like 15 minutes / week and I'm usually making coffee while it's happening, but really I should just setup the auto ticket buyer and leave my machine on 24/7. That would bring it down to 0 min/week given my rasp pi doesn't randomly fail
Funds that are locked randomly get called to "vote" (where I earn my reward) and re-enter my wallet so re-entering the lottery immediately would be more advantageous too
Also it feels passive because even though staking nodes need to be online at all times and require legit setups, I use delegated staking so I can select an operator which I pay a fee (0.5% in my case) in exchange for their redundant always-online setup so it's a painless ux
