Pihole good - you don't need umbrel to run it. I've had PiHole running on a raspi zero since they were actually $5 chips.

Yes, but...

I'm not going to buy a bunch of PIs to run specific things. I kinda absolutely hate that, plus, I don't know enough networking stuff to manage the 5+ I would need to do various things. Nor do I want to learn.

One of my favorite things back in the day was using Adblock and ip blockers to turn free pandora radio into ad free and no limits lol

Ah fair enough, and generally agree. I read your note as if that was all you wanted umbrel for.
