Basically, all of those https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/faq/article/nas-recovery-guide-for-x86-based-nas There are some older models that can only boot from the DOM, however most newer ones (especially the AMD Ryzen ones, which i personally would highly recommend) have no issue. The early TS-X77 models do not boot from NVME, but that can be overcome with some creativity :)
You could do all that, yes - but that’s not really “replacing” a Synology IMHO. The point is that you don’t really have to think about putting it all together correctly - put the drives in, install your OS of choice and that’s it.
I’ve had a look and sadly, they are not available in Europe (at least for any reasonable price).
Does this have a backplane?
Get an x86 Qnap and put Truenas Scale on it - there is no case in that form factor in existence.

Do it anyway and put an x86 OS on one of the “standard UEFI” versions. There’s no other Hardware better on the market for this - even self build isn’t going to come close, there’s simply no case with 8 hotswap slots (for example).
QNAP x86, standard uefi! Can run anything. Been running mine with Proxmox, ZFS, Runtipi and others. Easy GUI setup for everything, Runtipi is just clicking add for various things.
I have a yubikey for the Bitwarden vault as second factor
In my “testing” at work and private, PVE is miles ahead of xcp-ng n terms of performance. Sure, xcp-ng does it’s thing very stable, but everything else…proxmox is faster
If you want things to just work: Chromecast with Android TV, plus PiHole or Adguard to pull out of all the telemetry and advertising (except maybe Amazon Prime’s new stuff).
Also, Google at least gives you the possibility to pull out of the personalized stuff and doesn’t work much with 3rd party advertiser’s. And those they work with are being taken care of with PiHole and Adguard.
It depends
yes

There’s a difference between rampant capitalism running amok and the free market…free always needs rules, or it would be anarchy…
Nope, they are not, at least in terms of household appliances. BUT they still produce quality stuff in Germany and Europe. And they actually never have been separate. And HomeConnect is commited to HAOS, iirc they actually provide some code to the plugin.
For the Europeans, look up AEG, Bauknecht, Electrolux, Liebherr…sad story as well. And one hell of a case for rampant capitalism running amok…
Never considered buying Haier anyway, but i am looking specifically for appliances that have HAOS support. So them pulling this shit will put them on my black list for ever. I get why Mazda did it, but the car doesn’t need the app to be useful, i can just ignore that part. But this is an home appliance that looses a big part of it’s usefulness…
Focusing on reducing carbon emissions and pulling it out of the atmosphere would create so much new potential in economic growth…it’s mind boggling to me, that we still debate over useless and minute changes, when the easiest and the most low hanging fruits are just being ignored.
Absolutely! And I think that’s actually what happened :)
Sure - i should have mentioned, that the system itself runs not on the ZFS but from it’s own SSD. So a “ZFS Cache in Memory Bit-Flip” should (theoretically…) not cause a hard-lock/freeze. It would probably trigger a complete garbage collection though.
And yes - that’s what was so confusing to me, no kernel panic, no log entry…nothing, just a sudden, random freeze.
Yes, I did. But I couldn’t get my Homeassistant to work routing through it, so I switched back to Proxy Manager…
