Just run Pi-Hole in a Docker container on your machine. Point your nameserver to localhost and reap the benefits.

In Proxmox they have VirGL-GPU and Virtio-GPU. They allow VMs to pass work to the GPU without being dedicated to one VM. I don’t think gaming was the intended use case and don’t know what kind of performance you would get. My uninformed guess is that it would not be great.
I’ve been a chaotic neutral more times than I would like to admit.
Just use Debian. Why use the inferior downstream distros when you can go right to the OG? You are already halfway there.
Debian doesn’t have a corporate sponsor so there is no risk of getting spammed or giving someone your personal information.
Build something that you want. Find that niche that isn’t well served by existing projects and fill the void. Either by making something entirely new or adding a feature to something already out there.
Maybe something I should look into again.
Yes! I’ve used that before.
I spun up a trial version of Windows Server and tried to get it working. It seemed to want a Domain environment and I didn’t want to go down that road. There probably is a way to do it without setting up a Domain but I didn’t feel like messing with it at the time.
I have a Windows VM on my server. If I need MS Office or any Windows-only program I just use Remmina to RDP in and get stuff done.
Windows has pretty good touch support over RDP so I can even do this from my phone or tablet if I need a full desktop on the go (using a VPN).
Thanks for the insight. I think I understand what he is trying to do but is a little too low-level for me to really grasp the technicalities.
Is there something wrong with doas? I thought doas was smaller with less of an attack surface.

They have a pretty good catalog of pre-built Docker containers. You don’t have to use their version of things but there is a lot of software that I was previously unaware of that I learned of through them.
For some reason my DNS tends to break the most. I have to reinstall my Pi-hole semi-regularly.
NixOS plus Docker is my preferred setup for hosting applications. Sometime it is a pain to get running but once it does it tends to run. If a container doesn’t work, restart it. If the OS doesn’t work, roll it back.
Does it increase your attack surface? Yes. With proper precautions is this level of risk negligible? Also yes.
You will be opening a port to the outside world. Anyone can try to use it. But if you are using key authentication it will be fine.
I’ve been an actual janitor and a sysadmin… they’re not dissimilar. You clean up other people’s shit for a living.
Those aren’t real classified documents. They aren’t marked correctly.
Yeah I think the distro is less important. Really it’s choosing a lightweight DE + web browser will determine if a machine that old will work.
Check out Looking Glass.
Why not just run TrueNAS Scale? It’s a NAS built on top of Debian?
Yeah, I looked at the plain text of a .dotx file. That’s unparsable. The other poster probably has the right idea on how to get information out of the file.
Truly the horseshoe crab of websites. Why change when you’re already perfect?
