would it make sense to host something on my main machine? - eviltoast

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.
