Re: RPi 3B+ with PoE+ Hat not powering without HDMI
Strange- I run all my Pi boards headless (major drawback of using an IMac - no video in without fuss)... I would have thought the lack of a display would be the same with or without a cable... What OS are you running and do you have anything odd installed? You can get HDMI Edid emulators (eBay / Ama...

Re: Most appropriate way to copy data from one Rpi to another over static LAN
Have you thought about running an rsync server on the master Pi?
You could run the command on the remotes over ssh if needed and you can throttle the bandwidth if you flood the network or master node.
Just make sure the destinations are different!

Re: Can't SSH into raspbberypi with external IP.
Know it sounds strange but is the router thinking you are trying to ssh into it from outside the lan and not forwarding the packets to the pi?
Try changing the port you are forwarding on the router and set the pi up to use that and see if that helps...

Re: Connecting Pi Pico and Google home app
Not yet seen any development tools and the Pico is still not on the vendor support list.
Best place to start is https://developers.home.google.com/matter/get-started
Maybe use one of the home automation tools and MQTT?

Re: Can I use Terminal to check my SD cards?
Possibly using mkfs and the -c option? The manual states this checks for bad blocks before building the file system.
I have never tried this though - I actually use my Mac and it's 'secure erase' for this on old drives

Why not hold your code on GitHub and have each Pi pull updates from there automatically?

Yup - USB 3 generates a significant amount of interference.
Either use the USB 2 sockets or a short extension cable that is shielded.
May poor old 2012 Mac Mini has suffered this since Apple shipped them

Re: Pi5 - strange Wifi issues
Does your AP issue IP addresses or does it pass the request back to the router?
I've seen issues with a Netgear WAX615 when it gave out DHCP to different MAC addresses with the same host name - never tracked it down as the logging has so much debug junk left in it I just got swamped with messages!
