  I use HASS.agent to help manage my Windows desktop and expose various sensors to HA. It can suspend or hibernate the system. It does use MQTT as its connectivity plane.

  You get easy access to their addons with a VM (aka HAOS). You can do the same thing yourself but you have to do it all (creating the containers, configuring them, figuring out how to connect them to HA/your network/etc., updating them as needed) - whereas with HAOS it generally just works. If you want that control great but go in with that understanding.

  The phone or browser may be using DNS over HTTP (aka DoH), check if you can disable it for the wifi network. You may have to disable it on the phone or browser to get your desired behaviour - look up directions for your browser.

  If it’s logs, there’s a package called log2ram - it’s designed for small form factor systems to reduce writes to SD cards but does apply anywhere you want to log but not hit disk immediately. It syncs logs to disk on a regular basis so you don’t lose much if the system crashes.

  I’m not sure how consistent it is but the static binaries I have for btrfs-progs are about 2x larger than their dynamic counterparts. If you statically compile it only the functions actually used are included in the binary, so it really depends on how much of the library is used.
