So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.

These little things let you store files, photos, host websites, run containers, backup your computers, run office suites, all with simple GUIs, and can be cheaper than cloud storage.
Let's take a look at why you probably need a NAS at home:
