SeaTools is a long-standing, trusted tool for HDD testing. I always have a bootable drive with the SeaTools bootable image on me for diagnosing hard drives.

Keep in mind that testing a failing drive will likely make a failing drive worse. For your use-case this is fine, but for anyone else looking to test drives, please create a backup image of the drive prior to testing.
Maybe I’m just old school and distro package means something different to me, but here is a link to the Home Assistant .deb distro package:
This would be correct. We have at least 7 amazon alexa/fireTV devices and a bunch of other IoT devices with Alexa capability and each of them get used regularly.
The IoT devices are on their own subnet which doesn’t have access to the other subnets. I live with my mom and Alexa devices just make her life way easier. I put in the work to make sure the alexa and IoT devices are as restricted as possible without losing functionality so she can live a bit easier.
Something is seriously wrong with your Windows 11 install. I have two Windows 11 devices on my network and a Surface Duo 2.
Netdata would be my recommendation, but that may be a little much for the situation. I have about 5 Debian VMs for different things and one of them is a netdata server I run which collects data from itself, the other VMs, a separate minipc I have for containers, and the host OS.
Otherwise, slap btop on there and watch the pretty terminal graph
