First of all, my parents have a Raspberry Pi V1.0 (the still holeless one) that has been piholing since day one. That’s like a decade.
I keept it there, caseless and dangling from the lan cable, for sentimental reasons, I’ve grown fond of it.
Second of all, there is a secondary dns on Proxmox should the Pi need a rest.
Edit:
Forgot the third of all - that Raspberry doesn’t even have a heatsink, much less a fan.
Yes, what the other two said … however I have never ever (in any device) had a memory card go deaded.
Idk. I do keep in mind how fragile they are (the internet people have scared me enough) when setting them up, but nothing ultra special.
Updates are good, they automatically install you extra RAM, extra AI assistant features, promotional targeted ads, extra bloatware, more bugs … no, wait, that’s Windows, nvm.
Updates?
It’s running Pi Hole … the lists get updated, as for the base os I don’t even remember what I installed (I think I switched from regular Debian to DietPi at one point, I think the Debian upgrade borked something & I changed it up).

I’m running the same setup down to the dangling LAN cable. How do you deal with sd card deaths? Just a fact of life?
Or make it read-only
Log2RAM seems to help

Does this thing still get updates??
Why would it need updates

Thx, I should check it.
So… you have a not updated device, running some form of Debian, connected to your network, and all your devices rely on that for DNS???
Kernel should still support PI1. Might install linux-next even.
