If you’re building a NAS at home, you’ll eventually hit the same fork in the road I did: TrueNAS, OpenMediaVault, or just buy a QNAP (or even a DAS). On paper they all solve the same problem. In reality, they’re very different tools with very different tradeoffs.

When people talk about upgrading their home network, they usually assume downtime is unavoidable. Devices disconnect, credentials change, and someone in the house inevitably gets frustrated.

This wasn’t driven by hype or a single supply disruption, but by deliberate manufacturing decisions, explosive AI demand, and a shrinking pool of consumer-focused memory production.

I’ve been running Google WiFi pods since 2019, but replacing Google WiFi recently became unavoidable after years of reliability started to slip. For a long time, the system was exactly what I wanted: simple, stable, and invisible. I set it up once and didn’t think about it again.
That changed over the past few months.
