    Pi-Hole always tops my list as a cool project that has definite benefits and will still be in service after the new wears off. It’s been quite a while ago, but I built an Alexa with an RPI. That was kind of cool. Home Assistant on an RPI is pretty cool. In fact, there is a whole list of cool stuff to do with an RPI: https://pimylifeup.com/category/projects/ . There’s also an Awesome list for the RPI: https://github.com/thibmaek/awesome-raspberry-pi.

      PiHole is becoming a bit heavy for my Zero W (uses the same chip as the original Pi series), and it’s the only thing the Pi runs. It’s a bit worrying.

        Do you worry about that Zero being deauthed since it uses 2.4 only still?

        I ask as I’m having somewhat of a bit of lag / delay or something I need to look further into later with a Zero/DVBHAT + between my RPi5 / router which is using as its DNS provider (AdguardHome) and because I still use a 2.4GhZ camera (which has also been playing up recently…), got me thinking about having all the cams / Pi’s / SFF PC’s not only hard wired, but turning off the 2.4GhZ weefee altogether on the router due to Flippers and shit.

        tldr: should I care?
