I got myself a synology about 8 years ago for the same reasons you listed up. NAS storage local and out, while being able to run a few small services like Plex for streaming media (looking to try Jellyfin at some point).
There is a premium cost for the NAS but att I didn’t want to fiddle around building my own and then setting up something like Unraid, which atm is running on and old laptop and might be my pick for my NAS solution in a few years.
DNC cares about the votes not much else. They have been beating that drum for decades to get votes yet never wanted to secure the abortion right when they had the chances. But I guess when you only have the dinner choice between a dog and cat shit, you might as well polish it before eating. You have the freedom to eat red or blue shit.
This has nothing to do with feminism in the 21 century.
