Data breaches are just the tip of the iceberg. Companies are now leveraging your personal images and data to train AI, often without your explicit consent. The option to exclude your data is buried deep within a labyrinth of menu options. Even if some services claim not to use your images for AI training, their policies can change at any time. This is where TrueNAS comes in.

TrueNAS is an open-source NAS (Network Attached Storage) software that you can run on old hardware. This means you can buy or use an existing old computer, load it up with as many disks as it can handle, and then use TrueNAS to access it from anywhere. The best part is that it is free for home users.
