You don't need DHCP, you can just use DNS and then set up different blocking groups based on the device.

The problem with this solution is that is it opt in. You would need to change all the wifi settings on each device separately to point to Pi-Hole as the DNS. This is something that could easily be disabled as a 12 year old would probably be able to figure out how to change the settings on their mobile devices or computer with a Google search.

I don't host my media outside my local network but, if I did, I would use my go to method of SWAG with Authentik. This is what I have done for my other self-hosted items.

From Lifestraw website:

The majority of LifeStraw products for individual use are microfilters with an absolute pore size of 0.2 microns which remove bacteria, parasites, microplastics, and dirt/silt.

LifeStraw also manufactures ultrafilters/purifiers that, in addition to the above contaminants, also remove viruses. The absolute pore size on these purifiers is 0.02 micron.

TIL. Looks like I will be installing Nushell. This is neat. Especially how everything returns the final value.

I don't know of any comprehensive source but there are a few basic things you that I do.

1. Ensure sudo is on the system so that root account is not used.
2. Get a secure browser that with add ons to protect against malicious sites (https everywhere, JavaScript blockers, etc...)
3. Download software from trusted repositories and verify with GPG keys or hashes. Be wary on installing anything using a shell script with super user access.
4. Use keys instead of passwords for ssh if you are going to use ssh.
5. Password tools like Vaultwarden and KeePass can help secure passwords.
6. You can encrypt your hard drive with LUKS before you install Linux with many distros.
7. Flatpak (Docker as well) can allow you to run applications with limited access to your system much like phone apps on Android. This can be more secure but comes with larger app sizes and limits what you can do with the app sometimes (e.g. browsers not being able to upload files because they don't have full filesystem access)
8. If you want a firewall on your workstation (not needed much anymore with hardware firewalls from routers), UFW makes it easy
9. If you want to check for viruses use ClamAV (ClamTK for a GUI app).

A raspberry pi 4 or 5 and some fast USB 3 hard drives.

PyLoad isn't a container I run 24/7 because the use cases are a bit limited. Basically, if I have a large list of files that I want to pass to my NAS (perhaps a list from something like DownThemAll) that won't complete in a short sitting, I will pass that list to PyLoad so it can just run the background.

I once downloaded about 2,000 or so office files and tools like this have let me do that automatically.

Exactly, since KasmVNC can run GUI programs in the browser and the Linux server.io base image is just Debian, it was trivial to just run it with Emacs instead. I much prefer Emacs over VS Code because of Org Mode. While VS Code works well in a browser. It isn't what I wanted.

Here is where I have posted my Emacs Dockerfile. It might be a little out of date. Emacs Docker

EDIT: The Dockerfile also installs the fonts I like for Emacs along with git and hunspell.

EDIT: You could also probably achieve something similar with a Docker container run ning Apache Guacamole.

You can use the Linuxserver.io VSCodium Image and replace VSCodium with Emacs in the Dockerfile.
