Meaning ready made list that can include into Pi-Hole.

P.S. My Pi-Hole project still pending. I still deciding if I will use Pi 5 or a mini-PC.

If you got mini-pc lying around, then use that.

Otherwise, just use Orangepi zero 3. I bought this specifically for this. If Pi 5, will be like overkill

IMHO.
The deliberation is that I feel my mini-PC is too powerful with 32GB of RAM. :ROFLMAO:
If I use the Pi 5, I can run more things on it.
Anyway, will look at lower cost Pi or equivalent again.

I got 2x mini PC same specs. One suppose to be the backup of the other.
That's why I looking at another mini-PC vs SBC because mini PC can run more things other than Pi-Hole.
But mini PC is rather expensive now.
Or I can just use a 10 year old ( i think ) slim desktop loading linux - but the size....

I willing to be your step son
LOL

No need so powerful machine, like other say, a rpi or orangepi or other similar SBC will work.
Even a 1gb ram ancient pi also works

The efficiency isn't good and you will be using alot of electricity for no reason.
but it will still work

Using a mini pc with 32GB RAM is like using a Ferrari to go market do grocery run.

IMHO.
At the end of the day, I want to run/test a lot of stuffs e.g.
Docker, Pi-hole, Unbound, Speedtest Tracker, Uptime Kuma, Nginx Proxy Manager, Tailscale, Homepage, Immich, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, Paperless-ngx

I can use Pi 5 but Mini PC have h/w encoding and also better storage vs microSD.
Mini PC without warranty should be cheaper than pi 5.

Noted on the electricity - I have an old 32GB gaming laptop with a 80% screen, I could use that, but is bulky and consume power.

🤔

P.S. Looking at mini PC with 16GB less than $400 and 2 sets, for backup.

The 32GB machines processor is not fast but can be use for virtualisation and simple local AI.

I see it like this.

For DNS resolution, i deem it critical, since without resolution, you are essentially cut off from internet.
Hence with this, i have 2 machines solely for resolution with the required blocklist. Both active and ready to accept queries with the same exact config. Set and forget as primary and secondary dns on router.

If i want to play other stuff, i use my existing desktop to UAT / TEST / DEVT first before i commit to a standalone device. I would rather start a "project" and let it die after a few months, than to waste money on hardware THEN let it die.

That's another way to look at it.
I just want to keep it simple by not buying too many stuffs.
Let me revisit them again. :ROFLMAO:

i have a Chuwi N100 mini-pc, i think mine only 8 or 16GB RAM only. but never really use it for now.

I tried and attempt installing pi-hole as backup, but kept failing. So now only rely on my orange pi zero 3
