Given it's an RCE exploit, i wouldnt be surprised if someone works out to turn them into Chia farm plots.

ended up getting a Synology DS418 sometime ago. not a superfan of DSM, but it gets the job done.
~~Could probabaly do something later by using the second network interface to run a NFS share between my Pi 4 and the NAS and give it it's own SHR-1 (Synology Hybrid Raid, BtrFS with mixed drive support) volume with the leftover bays, instead of having a drive just sitting about, taking up my external docking station.~~
Terrible idea for what i need, at least as far as it goes with synology's crap.

Or the time. Raspberry pi nas.
You can just buy a simple 2-bay raid 1 enclosure from Asus for 150 USD, not including drives. And 210 for a couple 4TB NAS grade Ironwolf drives.
So 360 usd isn't that bad a deal after paying google for 3 years for half the space, and without any benefits of owning your shit.

You and I both know the average consumer still thinks their data is actually gone even with just partition table resets...

Sort of. for food delivery, you still will probably need people to load the drones for most local shops at the moment. Plus there's still the issue of payload capacity, depending on the drone used.
To be fair though, being a gig worker sucks balls if you account for all the wear and tear on your vehicle.
