My laptop is called xontros-gatos, which in my native language means fat-cat. Similarly, my server is called server-cat, a small laptop that I have for testing stuff is called small-cat and a new laptop that I just got is called fatter-cat.

After having upgraded my Pi-Hole to v6, for some reason yesterday it started to not recognize any of the blocklists. So, I resetted it and now it works.

Yes, this is it. I bought it because it was cheap (100€) and had a built-in CPU. The only problems are that it hasn’t got many SATA or PCIe ports. This is fine however, because I have no need for them right now.

This is a custom built mini PC, with a mini-ITX motherboard and an Intel N100 CPU. It gets powered by a power supply that I got from an old computer. Also, it needs no active cooling, just a heatsink. It almost never gets above 60°C.

(and yes, it has no case).

In it I run:

• Jellyfin
• All of the *arr stack
• Pairdrop
• My website
• My personal Lemmy instance
• Immich
• Pi-Hole
• Home Assistant
• Grafana/Prometheus/Node-Exporter stack for monitoring

I have a heatsink above CPU, RAM, and Wi-Fi card. I think I should get a fan.

I saw that it uses about 1,3 GB of memory. This means another 700MB remain. Because of this, I don’t think the cause is the memory. Also, I forgot to mention that I am also running qbittorrent for downloading, gluetun for VPN, and jellyfin and jellyseerr.

OK, I am trying to setup a swap partition right now to see if that will improve performance.
