I agree with you. I don’t get why you are getting downvoted.

Yes sorry I didn’t read your whole question very well. It may be possible to use the integrated remote app in the iPhone to control that. What device plays this video feed?
I mean you can basically make everything you can image work through stateless switches. You would use homebridge to attach some script to the switch and start from there. That’s how I control some of my stuff too. AFAIK homebridge and HA can co-exist.
You may wanna look at Kubernetes. It’s basically docker with failover.
Yes you could but then every time you need to service your Pi your whole house will be left without internet.
For me personally it was a great decision to move my containers from the Pi with pihole to a dedicated media server. I did not ever get a warning that resources were low again and I have no unrelated downtime.
As a bonus, I also have the Pi VPN in there, so I can basically restart my media server remotely and not lose connection :D
You don’t technically need a NAS, the Pi can be it, but you’d need a usb 3 enclosure (way cheaper than a NAS). But honestly just let your pihole be your pihole and don’t mess with it. You may wanna get a pi zero and use that as your DNS and your old pi as a Plex server.
One more reason to stop breathing then.
Since you are asking in c/piracy, just download it. Either Blu-ray RIP or Web-DL (ripped from streaming services) will have far better quality than a DVD RIP. Unless is something unique, there is no real benefit in doing the leg work yourself.
If you want max bit-rate or lossless sound get a Blue-Ray remux. Otherwise WEB-DL looks as good for most people and weights a fraction.
Isn’t like virtually every car gets OTA updates nowadays? You can have them offline, but then that you can do to a Tesla too.
While I agree with you these practices do bring prices down for consumers. I just have the TV off internet and use an AppleTV.
Just sail the high seas my friend. I download almost everything as blueray rip or better know as “remux”.
