A Year of Self-Hosting with TrueNAS SCALE

I started self-hosting with TrueNAS SCALE about a year ago.

It’s my media server, private cloud, and dev playground — all under my control.

What it gave me:
Lock: Data sovereignty
Wrench: Real sysadmin skills
Seedling: Freedom from Big Tech clouds

Your data should be yours.
