would it make sense to host something on my main machine? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Not something that would have to be on all the time, but more something that can be off overnight. This question feels like it has an obvious yes/no answer that I'm missing.

Edit: pihole was a bad example

I’ve got 2 pihole instances in my home, one on my Unraid server in a Debian VM as a backup in case the main one goes down.

The main one is running from a cheap Igel M340c thin client I bought off eBay for around £20 ($25) running Ubuntu Server.

Cheaper than a Raspberry Pi at the moment and perfect for running a Pihole on.

If you want something cheap, consider a used thin client machine.
