Your on /hn/ and ¡¿don't?! have an entirely-local subnet, offline, for your NAS?
...with a hint of sarcasm, but the percentage is definitely a non-zero number.

It seems like the only “safe” option is a PC (+storage) that never attaches to a network, but that extremely limits its usefulness.
Perhaps a vulnerability still exists (for one offline NAS, only): I use dedicated NICs (on each end) to direct-link my online NAS (which is otherwise local network, only, on a separate NIC), for routine backup.
Perhaps this leaves a bridge-LAN vulnerability?
But one is entirely offline, as are all its clients (dumb TVs, mostly).
Stuff like your town's water, transportation, and medical infrastructure and employee and student data are critical. Your car's drivetrain and safety features are critical. Your home's HVAC can be critical in certain times of year. These things should not be connected to the Internet.
