So i have a pi5 8gb sorta collecting dust, ive mess with it a little but i have a laptop and im not sure what use to give the pi 5? i wanted to explore ai stuff but ai requires a powerhouse of a device? Im also thought about nas but i feel i dont need nas right now?

What would you advise i do with my pi?

    I don’t really want to do anything with my setup because it works fine. If DHCP is switched on on the pi and not configured to assign addresses to a separate IP range from the router it’s far from innocuous. Some routers also don’t allow DNS settings to be modified so using the pi as DHCP lets you hand out the the pi as the DNS as well.

      Pihole comes with DHCP disabled by default for this reason. But you still have to get the router to hand off the Pihole IP as DNS server to all dynamic IP devices.
