Airbnb was started to offer up your free space to someone for a night for a bit of cash, and that was it. Then the morons found out and bought whole ass houses specifically to rent out on Airbnb.
People ruin everything.
OpenMediaVault is really good for that. The only times I'm ever really in its command line is when I'm checking for certain files.
Yeah, so I've heard 😕
I use SMS Backup/Restore, it saved my ass during my divorce.
I'd love a FOSS version that can handle RCS...
Y is a 3 wagon
X is an S wagon
Nobody cares though, because fuck Tesla and fuck Elon and I hope they both burn
Remember, there's absolutely nothing wrong with buying a used 7th gen Intel PC and filling that with [insert drive of choice]. An i7-7700T is still more powerful than even the newer Synology units.
So you built your own NAS, then. NAS is just an acronym, "Network Attached Storage". Not a singular line of products.
That said - I also feel the same way about Synology and the other "all-in-one NAS" brands. Expensive for what they are, which is essentially an incredibly cheap PC with a built in toaster. I built my NAS out of a 2014 Mac Mini (running OMV) and a Sabrent USB-C 4-bay drive dock, and even full of WD Reds, that entire rig is literally half the price of a DS920+. And more powerful.

That's true, but the root method is open source:

That said, if it does cause issues, there's nothing saying I can't just block it at my router.
I rooted my 65" LG TV, and put a pi-hole in front of it.
That's all a NAS has ever been, just a PC that specializes in storage. "NAS" isn't a specific product, either - it's whatever hardware you set up to function as such. My own NAS is a 2014 Mac mini running OMV (Debian 12 based) with a 4-bay locking drive dock attached to it. Works great.
I took images of my gaming PC drives (500GB, 2TB) onto a 4TB spinner, then shoved that spinner into my NAS's dock. With 2 minutes of point and click configuration, I can access those images from my gaming PC's new Linux install over the network to copy whatever data I might need. Easy peasy. No Synology needed for that.
