I'm buying a libre computer (le potato) and using it to set up my first pi-hole. I'm very new to this kind of tinkering, so bare with me. I'm hoping to use just one le potato as both my pi-hole and a media center to run Kodi. Is this even possible for one, and two is Kodi what I should be using for pirating hard to access content? Without a VPN? Or is there a better solution available?

The chokepoint here would be the networking and RAM. Pi-hole isnt all that resource intensive but does use a bit of the network resources. Kodi, should run along with it but the performace as stated from other posters will leave a lot to be desired. The 2GB of RAM is not going to be powerful enough to do a lot. On the fly encoding for video is going to suffer by RAM, CPU and network output. Its possible to do it but youll definitely have to be patient with it.
