I am just very curious what peoples stories are. And if you are not using Linux what is holding you back?

No judgement of any kind, just pure curiosity.

    What do you guys do with your PIs? I almost got one to use as a pihole server but thought it’d be a waste of money if that’s all I’m gonna do with it (running standalone piholes on my desktop and laptop now). Still interested if there’s anything I can use them for. 😅

      I used them for pihole & unbound, qbittorrent, local http server and kiwix. I would still use one because they use like 5W max, but I had issues and running all these things on bare-metal is a pain. Now I run all my stuff (now adguard instead of pihole) on a small computer < 20W in proxmox. It sadly is totally worth using more power for this.

      I just used it for a project for college. I wanna put a pihole on it as well (mainly for phone), just never got around to it years later. I gave my spare to my boyfriend tho and he is using it as a media server.

        he is using it as a media server.

        For some reason this did not occur to me. 🤦‍♂️

        I need to get my brain checked.

      I use one as a Pi-hole server. It is amazing realizing how many ads are on the internet now. Especially good for blocking for Android.

      Husband uses a Pi for his model rockets - getting telemetry data. We have previously used it as a microcontroller for a homebrew homebrewing cooler.

        Yeah. Ads are terrible now. I’m glad for stuff like ublock and pihole. The net would be painful to browse without them.

        Model rockets sounds awesome, ngl. I don’t think I have the brainpower for that hobby, though. Lmao.
