In breaking news, Sangoma have announced that Multi Factor Authentication for FreePBX, a commercial module with a hotly contentious ongoing yearly fee, will from April 1 2025, be completely free, for FreePBX users, and no, this I'm assured isn't an April Fools teaser.
The quality of aussiebroadband "support" /cough/ continues to amaze me, apparently, now they can not even read.

In 2020 when RedHat took over CentOS, many predicted it was with the intent of destroying it, being derived from RHEL it was a direct competitor, some say those people have been vindicated, as that's exactly what RedHat did, and its short life-span replacement, CentOS Stream, is just another Fedora, this left FreePBX devs in a bind.
Asterisk and FreePBX allow for a myriad of customisations, some of these however need hand editing asterisk files as well as some FreePBX configuring (due to how FreePBX uses its database and overwrites some asterisk files), so some things you just can't entirely do from within FreePBX, or in asterisk (when using FreePBX that is), like set up Lenny, or provide a Weather service.
Let me start by saying Synology NAS's may have a place if you are a complete Windows only network. Disk Station makes it easy to configure shares, and when homes is enabled it's easy to backup file history and Windows system images, even storing multimedia, and if the Synology DS is the only media server/streamer on your LAN, you can even use Synology Media Server at a pinch - but it's not suitable for much else.
