Comment on Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move - ServeTheHome

Consumer NAS is a lost ploit point already. Buy a 2nd hand thinkpad or a gaming PC for basically the same price as synology tray and you’ll have not only a NAS but a full home server that’ll last you a decade.

That’s fine for us techy people, but my parents would not be able to do that.

Not sure if proprietary NAS tools are any easier tbh
I think the IT consumer culture is just lazy. If you don’t know how to fix your sink you’d call in a plumber but if your home server breaks ppl just sit and whine how tech is too hard rather than you know paying someone to do the job for them.

They are significantly easier to use.

According to whom? Distros like omv are incredibly easy and once setup basically 100% hands off and will last you for years without any proprietary shit that might break at any point after 1 year warranty expires.

if you don’t know how to fix a sink: learn how and put a bucket under it in the meantime.
paying people to fix your problems develops helplessness and an over-reliance on societal function.

So we should just throw away the entire concept of specialization and do every single thing ourselves? Pretty dumb take my dude.
