I recently invested in some Eufy (Anker) cameras for my house, and they store data locally to a hard drive in a small standalone machine.
I don’t know how much I trust them, but I trust them a lot more than the Amazon ring cameras I replaced.
Just text ANGRY to 463737 and donate $5, $10, or $25 so we can do anything

That works too well.
Pihole is great, little hardware projects are fun (touchscreen calendar in the kitchen). They also make great emulators for old systems if you want to install a gaming oriented OS like retropie or lakka and get a gamepad or two.
I personally wouldn’t use it for a server, but it’s a good learning environment to figure out how to run services.
The beauty of the pi is it is an SD card swap away from doing a different job. You can buy a few fast cheap 16-32gb SD cards and play around with different options and operating systems.
Or you can do what I do: get it all set up, shut it down, and forget it exists until you have some wild idea.
You could say “I actually want to know… {{question}}?” Or “Sincerely, …”
If someone starts making up new abbreviations I’m probably not going to take their question seriously /!s
I imagine this is more for productivity apps, where gamers are going to use proton or wine.
Thanks, PoopMonster, that’s a good tip!
If you have a server running, I wouldn’t buy more hardware. They have good example documentation for just such a configuration:
https://docs.pi-hole.net/docker/
If your server already has those ports bound (specifically the DNS port 53) you are going to have to get creative; otherwise it’ll work well!
Worst case, a cheapo pi 3 will do the job. At one point I had it running on a pi zero, so hardware requirements are pretty low.
Yikes. I don’t use the website or share links, but that is a bit concerning.
Oh well… they are screwed to my house now.
