Raspberry Pi 4B (lemmy.zip)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by rook@lemmy.zip to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
 

As a complete beginner, what can I do with a raspberry pi 4b?

I'm basically completely new to networking and currently setting up a NAS. I have this raspberry pi 4b that I got but now can't think of a use case for it...

Any ideas of something that is very useful to host or have running on the pi4b?

Edit: I'm a complete beginner, and will use trunas on another server with jellyfin so my raspberry pi gets blown raspberries atm ๐Ÿ‘Ž

I'm using Pi-hole for half a year now and am super happy. What is unbound?

[โ€“] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A DNS service that gets all its DNS data directly from "root servers", without the middlemen (like your ISP, Google, Cloudflare, etc).

Unbound is just an alternative to bind. Pihole does not handle full-fledged DNS functions like zone transfers and start of authority records.
