yea, OP is going off of pricing that was in the before-times. Also I wouldn't recommend buying anything less than Raspberry Pi 3. Would recommend Raspberry Pi 4 in almost all cases simply due to its better compatibility+power. The lowest end models (2GB) right now are all extremely marked up from the original $40 to current $80.
- lewispollard 5y agoPihole is not very resource intensive at all, you can run it on a pi 0 without any issues.
- theandrewbailey 5y agoYou don't even need a Pi, either. I run it on my home server running Ubuntu.
- BizarroLand 5y agoI run it in a container on my NAS PC. It uses almost no resources and takes up only a few gigs of space that I wasn't already using for something else.
- lewispollard 5y agoYup that's true, you can even technically run it on a cloud VM like EC2, though obviously you get higher latency.
- usui 5y agoI find that the reason I love Raspberry Pis is due to its flexibility and my ability to tinker with it. I might want to use it for a Pihole today, something else tomorrow.
