Gotta be my Synology NAS. Although the hardware isn't free. The software is open source.
I moved always from every cloud storage provider to my own private cloud instead! Could not be happier!
My wife loves it too!
Edit: Sorry! Looks like some parts of the Nas is open. Not DSM itself.
I sold my Synology NAS as soon as I found out, that I can't change the underlying software (DiskStationManager). It wasn't open source and the hardware was dependent on that propriatary software. As soon as they decide, that your device is too old, they drop support and you are left with an unsecure brick.
And you are saying the software is open source. Did I miss something? Did something change?
My bad I think. Looks like some parts of the Synology Nas is open source but not DSM directly.
