A big shout out to Paul Hegarty, one of the best teachers I've ever had, even though I've only attended his online classes.

After a few failed attempts to migrate from Google as my default search engine due to poor results, a couple of months ago, I decided to give DDG another try. Been using daily since, I don't even remember what Google is. Not sure if the service did improve that much or what, but I'm glad I could move on. Youtube, you are next.

As @theandrewbailey mentioned, DNS is light protocol, I guess even older PIs would handle it pretty well. But, as a permanent solution, I would opt to set up on a VM/Docker so that I could have snapshots to quickly recover the service in the event of a problem.

Go for it, it's really worth the effort, even if it is a small one, with the bonus of being fun (at least for me it is). I can't imagine setting up my home network without pihole, and I'm considering setting it up at work, I manage a small network with 100 devices connected to the internet.

No OP so I can't comment on his source, but I heard the exact same statement from a maintenance engineer who works on Boeing aircrafts for over 30 years (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joselitosousa). He also owns a youtube channel on which he discuss mainly aviation (pt/br) (https://www.youtube.com/avioesemusicas)

I have 3 use cases for my RPi:
-PiHole as an ad/tracking blocker (adding PiVPN tonight to VPN into my home network)
-Plugging sensors to measure temp/humidity and controlling AC state (on/off) via IR Led (https://imgur.com/a/pYugqXz)
-Unifi Controller

A bit off topic, but, is logging off from a facebook account in the browser enough to stay away from FB's radar or they can still track users through scripts running on others websites?

Seems like there is a kill switch: https://twitter.com/PTsecurity_UK/status/879779707075665922

I know, my intention is not to impose but to show him what exists and what can be done. I believe that if I do not do that, no one will.
[Edit] I say that because I live in the coutryside in Brazil. People here, specificaly in my city, are focused in agricultural activities and are still not used to deal with computers.

The child is my nephew. The reason I want to show him computer science is from my own experience. When I was a kid, I got my first computer before all my friends. Today, I realize that made a big difference. Also, I see that his parents do not do not care about that, they gave him a tablet just to play and watch videos on youtube. I just want to show him that there's so much more than that!
