I guess you should simply talk to the landlord about your needs, and try to find an agreeable solution together.

Where is this happening? Which country, which laws?
NAS on WiFi works, but it is less fun than NAS on a cable.
Powerline works only with solid copper wire installed in the walls, connecting these rooms with as few interruptions as possible. Never with flexible lines.
P.S. corrected PoE to powerline
Not safe at all. I look for robustness. I prefer thinking about things that do not break easily (like ZFS and RAIDZ) instead of “what could possibly go wrong”
And I have never quite figured out how to do restores, so I neglect backups as well.
Usually I want to see the BIOS settings at least once. So that’s enough reason to carry a keyboard + monitor there.
Otherwise that network boot option with a TFTP server comes to my mind. But I have never tried it on a new, empty machine.
It’s soo healthy for your old creaking bones
Do you know of any other way to make ZFS more verbose on the issue
ZFS is the wrong place to look at.
Analogy:
Imagine there is an evil teacher in grammar school. Your kids are telling you, but they are unable to explain further what exactly is wrong with the teacher.
Then you don’t wait until your kids grow up and understand it all and can explain it all to you, but you go directly to the school to find out what it is what that teacher is doing.
This, so much.
ZFS itself sticks to the error stubbornly but does bot have any more info. SMART reports good drives.
This means: look elsewhere.
My real server (Nextcloud/NAS/several more vm’s) uses 28 Watts on average. In addition, there is one Pi 4B running, and I don’t even know it’s wattage.
I’m planning on replacing the real server with a new one, with lots of cores and approx. 50 Watts then.
Don’t forget to ‘export’ the zpool before moving the disks. Afterwards, you ‘import’ it on the new system. That’s all it needs.
If you use proxmox, then Truenas is kinda redundant, since proxmox can manage your zpool as well.
Interesting idea. It needs one big stepper motor, I guess. Do you know a specific type that’s strong enough?
Tl;dr what is it doing?
Bears can recognize man and woman in humans.
Curious: What’s the deal with all the transcoding on servers?
Don’t you just need some good rendering on the client? And if you need it on the server, why need it on the fly? You can do it before, and store the result, can’t you?
I see :-)
OK what is whimper’s job?
I do it the other way round: proxmox leaves it’s hands away from the zpool. The 5 disks are passed through to a vm, everything ZFS starts there, and it offers the samba shares.
My directive is that the bare metal proxmox shall not offer any services to the world outside, only VM’s may do that.
No phantasy involved here.
Just my initials & “server” & a number.
Or, if the device isn’t exactly a server, it can also be my initials & “router” & a number, or “bridge” etc.
While there are technologies that work like this (zigbee, kinda?),
Yes, there are many. You probably know them as “remote control”. Your TV, your garage door…
Home Assistant can also control them via gateway devices, turn them into “smart” devices and include them in larger automation scenarios.
The idea of Home Assistant is not to be a replacement for anything. It rather connects all things. It is a smart home control center, or hub.
Compare it to a Homematic, or maybe Aquara hub, etc. but still more feature rich and expandable with many more protocols and device categories.
Proprietary single switches etc. use only their own protocol.
Google Home is limited to a few protocols.
Just a few ideas for very easy math:
Start with the sunrise and sunset times. You can have them automatically for your location.
Calculate the middle between these: this is your best “noon” time (free of DST etc).
Calculate the duration between these: the longer it is, the warmer.
