I’ve been running my homelab on an 8-year-old laptop as a bare-metal Debian server. I rarely interacted with it directly, though. At my desk, I used my PC, and everywhere else, I relied on my MacBook. My MacBook had become my main control hub for the homelab server and my NAS.

📰 Pi-hole showed me 65,000 DNS queries in hours, and I didn't like where they were going

Like most self-hosting enthusiasts, I also installed Pi-hole, implemented it network-wide, and moved on thinking it finally gave me control over my network along with a cleaner browsing experience.
