First of all, my parents have a Raspberry Pi V1.0 (the still holeless one) that has been piholing since day one. That's like a decade.
I keept it there, caseless and dangling from the lan cable, for sentimental reasons, I've grown fond of it.
Second of all, there is a secondary dns on Proxmox should the Pi need a rest.
Edit:
Forgot the third of all - that Raspberry doesn't even have a heatsink, much less a fan.
I’m running the same setup down to the dangling LAN cable. How do you deal with sd card deaths? Just a fact of life?
Log2RAM seems to help
Yes, what the other two said ... however I have never ever (in any device) had a memory card go deaded.
Idk. I do keep in mind how fragile they are (the internet people have scared me enough) when setting them up, but nothing ultra special.
Or make it read-only
Does this thing still get updates??
Why would it need updates
Updates are good, they automatically install you extra RAM, extra AI assistant features, promotional targeted ads, extra bloatware, more bugs ... no, wait, that's Windows, nvm.
Updates?
It's running Pi Hole ... the lists get updated, as for the base os I don't even remember what I installed (I think I switched from regular Debian to DietPi at one point, I think the Debian upgrade borked something & I changed it up).
Thx, I should check it.
So... you have a not updated device, running some form of Debian, connected to your network, and all your devices rely on that for DNS???
It should be getting updates and it's in LAN, the exploits would have to be fairly specific.
But I have indeed not checked on it for years. Proxmox has made me lazy af.
I could VPN there now via phone & check it (if I even enabled SSH), or just shut it down (threy have AdGuard as backup sinkhole), but that sounds like work.
Where does it get the DNS list if it is only in LAN?
No, no, not isolated
Kernel should still support PI1. Might install linux-next even.
