I actually bought a ausustor NAS with the intention of flashing it with trueNAS or run headless. But tbh the OS does what I need rn with reasonable effort and I actually stuck the the stock OS.

It’s from a time where we didn’t have digital contact lists and no internet. So what if you want to call the bakery down the street? You look up a public record like YellowPages. And the same was true for people too. I know it’s hard to imagine now with plenty of Indian call centers social engineering grandma, but the only real “wow”here is why they didn’t change this yet.
Some play a cute melody when the rice is done too!!!
