Subj : FInally hit a wall...

My little homelab (Lenovo Thinkpad + Synology NAS) is starting to hit
the wall. My primary workloads are the BBS, running in a 32-bit Windows
VM, and a docker host running PiHole.

PiHole is starting to complain that the load average is starting to
exceed the number of available threads. My CPU has 2 cores, 4 threads.

I'm tempted to find a bare-boned Dell Micro desktop - I could take the
SATA drive and 32GB of RAM out of the thinkpad, and get 8 cores, 8
threads.

I like the fact that most of my homelab was cast-off crap saved from
dumpsters or bought used - being able to keep crap out of landfill while
still serving a valid purpose is nice.
