And half the world.You and me both…
For now I’m using an OrangePi for a specific project. It does the job for the moment but ideally I’d want to use a proper Raspberry Pi because the GPIO arrangement on the OrangePi isn’t the same.And half the world.

Consider AdguaurdHome. I think it's betterI just want something to run pihole, that's all.
Yeah quite possibly. But I mean, the issue isn't finding the software, it's finding a small form factor device that is actually in stock anywhere and that can keep running through LS on the tiny UPS units I have running my ONT and all that little junk. Even the Intel Stick PCs I think suck too much power for them. So RaspPi is ideal. Wish I could find mine.Consider AdguaurdHome. I think it's better
Controld.comI just want something to run pihole, that's all.
Have you considered a low powered NUC? IIRC my 5th gen celeron NUC comes in at under 10W.Yeah quite possibly.

Worth it's weight in gold, even the 1GB versions these daysI might have it. Found a spare 1gb Pi4B lying around yesterday that I didn't know I had lol.
I second this.Have you considered a low powered NUC? IIRC my 5th gen celeron NUC comes in at under 10W.
Run it in a docker container on a small server.I just want something to run pihole, that's all.
PM sentI have a Pi 3B that is not doing anything. I decent bottle of single malt Scotch and its yours! (4ways area)

no way!I might have it. Found a spare 1gb Pi4B lying around yesterday that I didn't know I had lol.
Lol, I need one for a Home Asisstant server to integrate to my bluetti via mqqt over bt as the inverter doesn't have any network hardware. Sigh. Apparently, the smaller factor has some limitation that prevents me from being able to this in the way I want.It's going to be my Solar Assist box
