GrapheneOS, Signal (or, I suppose, Telegram, just something E2E encrypted) and a raspberry pi running PiHole are 3 of the best investments I ever made in my day to day experience.
Telegram is NOT e2e encrypted by default. Even Signal has issues due to its insistence on not federating with other servers and being the sole CA in the system.
I could never get my pihole to remain stable over long periods of time. Multiple reinstalls, two different pis, always issues with the network dropping or requiring both the pi and connected devices to be rebooted. A pain in the neck for a reason I’m not immediately able to figure out.
Interesting, I basically set it and forget it and the only time I’ve ever had to interact with it again was to tweak the blacklist to block something new or allow something through
It might be an issue with your particular cocktail of router/modem/isp/what have you - which is way harder to diagnose
That’s really strange to hear, I’ve run it in on a pi zero, until it died, a 4b, and now on a pair of orange pi zero 2 I think they are, without any issues I didn’t directly cause by computing drunk.
I’d give it another shot if you’re up for it, it’s worth it in my opinion. I’m also running wireguard on it, with clients on all our phones so we take that protection with us everywhere.

Not had issues with Signal, but yeah, wouldn’t touch Telegram with a barge pole. Probably a CIA honeypot.

I wonder if it’s an SD card failure.
Mine was up for 200 days or so, basically untouched, before I upgraded the hardware.
