I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Plex with the ARR apps have changed my life and save me and my family about 1k per year.

Does a pihole setup not slow down your connectivity? Been looking into it but I'm very much a novice with my raspberry pi. I do want to use it for something cool other than just sitting around.

And my question is only deepened by the fact that I have a synology box as well. I could use pihole on that instead of my raspberry pi, right?

Easily, I went from through several gen of pi and now run it on docker on my Synology.

As mentioned, it's just a DNS server (at its core) and can actually make things faster as you will no longer download ads.

There are some getting used to things. Some url shorteners (constant contact) don't work and sponsored Google search results won't work. But the QOL is worth it.
