you can make a bypass button; use as bookmark on phone and computer.
Mine is like this:
http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?disable=60&auth=

Disables pihole for 60 secs.
Your auth would need to be generated.

If you are buying this to run services or desktop replacement, just go with an Intel n95 or n100 mini pc. They are still 2x faster than the pi 5 and 4-5x faster than pi 4. By the time you buy a case and storage and power supply for the pi 5, you could just have a better mini pc that runs windows or any Linux version and you don't have to buy more for it.

It was actually $55 for the Pi 4 4GB model, so it's an increase of $5 if you're doing an apples to apples comparison.

Okay, but what about power consumption, form factor, and the fact that none of the streamlined mini PCs on the market have GPIO?

You also fail to mention that most of the N95 systems on the market are barebones, so you still have to buy RAM and storage for them.

The ones that do come ready to go are nowhere near $80.

Side note: If you are in the market for an N95/100 system, skip those and hunt down a Pentium Gold 8505 based system. It has performance that better aligns with the i5 and i7 for around the same price.

Pi's are good for HTPC, specially Kodi and such.+ Pihole, Unbound, Nginx Proxy Manager makes it super efficient!

yes but in front of even a modest intel N100, all SBCs are dog slow.
Gonna have to look into these BeeLink N100 mini PCs. Haven't messed around with one yet, but for the prices and specs I'm seeing on Amazon they look like they'd be perfect little Linux Docker boxes for friends and family that I cant convince to get a Synology NAS but could benefit from a few Docker containers that offer some nice to have features/tools.

wow Pi 5 peaks at 12W?

kinda high for SBC, can one underclock it or make it so its 5W max?

lower W is why its in a different league than mini PCs or any other PC really

They are trying to tell people this is a "computer", but most people will not buy it for a computer replacement. Maybe very few people would do that.

yes the intel box consumes more power, but you're talking about 6W TDP for the N100 here, and that's very very low.

one will have to know their use-case. need GPIO? go SBC. just want a HTPC/emulation-beast/etc? the intel stuff is very much worth a look.

actually most of the N95/N100 systems have at least 8GB RAM. with SBCs you still need to buy a SD card, and a cheap SSD that you'd use with a mini PC is not that more expensive and runs miles faster.

and with SBCs, adding a case + power supply etc, the cost goes up.

the 8GB N100 boxes are routinely goes on sale for about $120-ish.

This thing can be shipped for around $4-6. $14+ is abusive.

With all the recommendations for pi alternatives, what's a good rack mountable alternative?

Save your dough and get an N95 one or two and put rancher or harvester on there in an HA mode (I have 3 of them). There is practically no difference in them except for some moderate graphics boost on the N100. You will probably get around $120 for one w/ 256 or 512 gb and 8gb of RAM, a power supply, case, and HDMI cables which if you start adding all those up for an Rpi costs the same or more and it will run laps around an Rpi. If you must run Windows it comes w/ Windows Pro on it.

The only real reason benny for an Rpi these days is for space constraints or GPIO the minipc. Even idle of some of the N95 I have is 7W. So I am adding $1-$2 bucks a year in energy but I can run serious workloads and VM on them.

Not complaining I sold my old Rpi off during the gold rush for $150-$180 and financed the new N95 ones and had spare cash left over. They also make great media PC because they do hardware offload for all modern codecs including AV1.

I mean this is $125 all in: https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-Mi...deae8f9840

I can assume a few bucks off come BF.

Micro center is starting to receive inventory, I'd rather take a ride their, sometimes entertaining to see geeks, nerds, anime people (fat guys with skinny women) lol. Plus I get to avoid getting ripped off on $15 shipping.

Pi hole blocks all the links from slickdeals. Is there a fix?
Bookmark the Pi-hole URL. If you are blocked -- as I am frequently -- open the Pi-hole Dashboard and select "Disable Blocking" in the left side menu. You can choose the duration before it turns on again.

Every time a pi5 thread is posted someone says this and everytime I go to look for these mythical $80 n100 micro pcs and come up short. All the ones I see are $150+ so where are the n100s for $80 that actually compete with the pi5 on price ($80 is the 4gb with PSU and case BTW.)

Quote from SplendidHome1945 :
what are these even good for nowadays
Personally I've been contemplating switching my 4 node k8s over to a 7+ node pi setup. With a PoE hat these can be powered off a PoE switch, coupled with a case you can have a tiny, self-contained cluster. What's held me back is the Pi shortage and not being able to find a cheap-but-good alternative that supports PoE. I found some SBCs that claim compatibility with "most Pi hats" but none that out right say they will work with the PoE hat specifically.
