Mind you, ICE fascists tried to criminally prosecute someone for throwing a sandwich at them. Now, they have ZERO problem repeatedly and heavily pepper spraying peaceful civilians conducting their civic duty of peaceful protest. We call them fascists because they act like fascists.

The Topton N22 motherboard is the star of the #DIY #NAS: 2026 Edition. It's quite fantastic how many features are present at its price.
It has drawbacks--they're almost all related to the number of PCIe lanes (9), but they're mitigated for a NAS

Illnesses like high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer & heart disease linger untreated for years.

Called my NY state senators and left an earful on their voicemails.
