This part confused me a bit. Wouldn't running the NAS at home be more safe and secure? Or are they talking about backup safety?
- NoboruWataya 2y agoI can't say what the OP meant, but I have a similar setup and I use a VPS rather than a home NAS for better uptime and accessibility and to avoid opening my home network up to the world.

- chneu 2y agoI'm not quite sure what their point is there. Everything they mention can also be accomplished on a home NAS or something with plenty of security. I don't think anything is really justified here besides simplicity? Which..this isn't that much simpler. Which..$100/month is pretty expensive for what's basically an N100 with support.
- codethief 2y agoYeah, I came here to comment on those $100/month. Is that server gold-plated? It shouldn't cost more than $5.
- cratermoon 2y agoIt depends on where "home" is and what ISP is available.
- samantha-wiki 2y agoThe author of the article researches far right extremism and has been targeted by certain groups in the past IIRC, I read this part as a concern about physical safety, but this is just my speculation.
