I am a big fan of this not. The worst thing about tech is all the bloody acronyms.

If you are using Scale, it has been depreciated. Rather inconvenient for me as I have to come up with a new solution.

Nas, Media server, device auto backups to nas, game server, chatgpt instance, Lemmy instance, a website, wiki, nextcloud, pihole, or home assistant.

If you intend to collect/store data or make more servers, a nas would probably be a good idea to have.
