Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi…
What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?
What’s your solution? PiHole? The thing I don’t like about the PiHole is the lack of wildcard domain rewrites. I’ve been playing with AdGuard Home and Unbound, not sure what my final solution will be, though.
I have Unbound and a pihole. Started with just unbound but found I needed device specific rules that I couldn’t do. So I setup pihole and some devices use that as published through the DHCP. Things like the Mrs didn’t want certain ad blocking on her devices, but I did everything else. Also means in future I can block more just on the kids devices.
