No, thats great advise. And I have enough little machines to doso... I have a
Pi Zeron I can run the Pi-Hole on.. and, I understand what you stated about
VMs too... I got what you're saying. :P TBH, if I pushed anything to a VM it
would be my Home Assistant instance.. as you add more smart home devices, and
different scenes/automations I need more and more power to run all the nodes
and automation scenes... 

But cool, that is smart and point taken... Pi Zero for Pi-Hole coming up. :P
It'll take a little bit of cpu responsibility off my Home Assistant box.
Thanks.
