Depends on your use case. A desktop consumes more electricity, larger, noisier, but is more powerful for desktop applications. Pi's are opposite plus has GPIO header for projects and expansion HATS.



The Aluminum edition case appears to be a remarked FLIRC case, which was the original Pi passive cooled case, but IMHO the newer Argon Neo, iUniker, and Geekworm passive cases are superior. They tend to have contact sinks for chips other than the cpu on the Pi that produce heat, and gaps for GPIO and camera ribbons. Search "pi 4 passive aluminum case" on Amazon for examples.

It's overkill for the pi4, but pihole [pi-hole.net] is amazing. It's a network wide spam filter. No more ads on mobile

I'm pretty sure that's what they were trying to say with the "overkill" part, though to be fair they didn't word it well.

Yeah I had a pi3 sitting around for a while and finally got around to setting up pihole. It's really nice but even the pi3 is more than it needs. I prefer the wired Ethernet for a pihole so i don't think I'd go the Pi Zero but any of the Pi1-4b should be plenty.

How does pihole intercept DNS queries by e.g. your phone if those queries are done over DoH (DNS over https)? That part I don't quite understand as everything seems to move to DoH lately.
You have to install cloudflared into pihole using the instructions on their website.

I believe this is only for upstream DNS requests forwarded by pihole and wouldn't affect your phones making DoH queries...

I'd like to run MotionEye, HomeAssistant, and maybe PiHole. Can I do it all on one device (and do it smoothly), or does each one need its own device?
Depends on how many cameras, their resolution, is motioneye doing motion recognition or just streaming the video to a nas. Pihole isn't demanding and I'm not sure about HomeAssistant. One raspi I have (Pi 3 Model B+) runs a single 720p camera, pihole, Mopidy and a VPN server. CPU utilization peaks between 40 - 60%. During certain times when the camera isn't needed that drops to less than 10% with all of the rest.

The other Raspi (Pi 4 Model B) runs two 1080 cameras 24/7, during moments of no activity CPU utilization is between 20 - 30 % when both cameras are recording it jumps to 60 - 75%

Quote from typicalsurge :
How many USB hard drives can be hooked to this for Chia Farming?
You can buy 25-port powered usb hubs, pi has 4 USB ports, so roughly up to 100 drives. Only caveat is, on top of powered USB hub you need to have a powered SATA->USB adapter for each of your drives, so it gets really really messy real fast. Look up "pi 4 chia farming" there are a bunch of good writeups. You will still want to have a dedicated machine for plotting as pis are painfully slow for that.

Pihole is super lightweight and pi zero is plenty to host it. I started with pihole on pi3b and worked my way down to pi zero w. Right now I am running pihole and dhcpd on pi zero w, using 2.4GHz wifi, powered by usb port on my router with average cpu utilization around 40% with no noticeable difference compared to pi3.

I'd just be using it for NAS recording/reviewing purposes (to an external drive), to record 4 or so eufy wifi indoor cams pointed outside. Motion detection handled through the native eufy app.

This is correct you will have to specify in the chrome settings to use the pihole for dns to take advantage of it and change the private dns setting on the phone itself for everything else.

Then you should be able to take advantage of the fast network streaming option that is present in motioneye the setting for sure is present in motioneyeos.

Are any of the options a good deal to run a media/backup center? Have a 12TB external disk I could use for storage.
I've actually just replaced my old RAID5 torrent/plex server with a Pi4.
Running Ubuntu with the following apps
-Medusa (automatic TV episode downloader and renamer)
-qBittorrent (great option because it allows different save locations i.e. different folders for Movies and TV Shows.
-Plex server (easiest way imo to share with any device such as Roku/Fire stick)

Could I use this as an "offline Amazon Fire Stick?" I have bad internet so can't make use of the normal smart devices. Could it play HD videos, if I loaded them onto the Micro USB and hooked it up the the TV?

For anyone using a pi-hole, I've found the following blocklist to be amazing. I've used it for about 18 months now and my whitelist is only a dozen entries (of which 8 or so are only two websites). It's basically a set-it-and-forget-it list that I don't have to worry about but seems to block almost all the ads. I've set it up for my parents and my brother's house, and it seems to do the trick well enough.

Why this list?
Where other blocklists seem to go for the "block all ads/trackers and when something breaks it's up to the user to figure out what to whitelist"-approach ...

This list prioritizes functionality over blocking.

Thís is the list to use at work, at home or at your (grand-)parents place.
Users report it "passes the girlfriend-test" Wink

Does not interfere with:
Torrent, Warez, Porn, Crypto Exchanges, News Satire, Gambling, Slickdeals (or shopping sites in general), Google (shopping), Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Link Shortners, Affiliate/Tracking Links, Gambling, Surveys, etc.

Quote from xufer :
You're missing the mark here. There are so many other purposes for these things these days. I just made a sick openwrt router out of one that blows any router you can buy commercially out of the water. If you buy these things for purposes based applications they are right on the money. I have 3 older ones clustered together as a neat compiler. These are all way more capable for streaming than your average roku or fire stick. Now I agree that some of these allocations are overkill but the company has been very good at adding options rather than limiting the consumer to just 1 version you have the option of a stripped down version all the way up to the newest 4 with 8gb of ram. Buy with a plan and purpose and you won't go wrong!! I have the newest version as a desktop replacement in my workshop running Linux like a champ and it's great as a desktop replacement for my simple work shop needs like web browsing, watching streams and running my CNC machine.
I would like to run vpn and watch youtube videos. What's the best OS for that?
