Unrelated to Bose's open hardware: The project Gadgetbridge has headsets and earplugs from various brands, but almost no Bose. https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/headphones/bose/ The community show interest, but still nothing. https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/issues?stat...

Please also consider the GL-iNEt Puli (XE300): - 5V 2A USB C connector and a 5000mAh battery - SIM and [not tested by myself] eSIM support. - Tailscale and Nebula available as a plug-in. - Main network and guest network can be set. - OpenWRT if you want the GL-iNET firmware.

Projects like Valetudo, CoMaps, and Pixel Experience OS (to name a few) also rely on a Telegram group. Not everyone uses Matrix to build a community.

I'm sure this is what commenter meant. GadgetBridge even works without the need of accessing the internet, and open source app that gets regular updates and has a nightly build available. I get my wearables and others from their list of supported devices https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/

France Inter Paris (FIP) it's awesome!

And remember you can always get the audio steam through HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), on its M3U format, or others with better quality. There are many Android apps like Transistor to enjoy the stream, and even VLC can open these, in order to avoid using a web browser.

Likewise, I prefer online radios than big tech algorithms that craft my music experience.

Another route is to go serverless and use DecSync. Thunderbird (or Evolution) will sync with the Android app (F-Droid available) and your Cal, your Cards, and tasks, and even RSS will be replicated on the other peers.

Librera FD (F-Droid) has OPDS stripped out. https://github.com/foobnix/LibreraReader/issues/1335 But you can get the Play Store version through Obtainium. It's the PRO version (also available with Obtainium) the one with OPDS support.

Kore reader also can open OPDS collections.

On your desktop please try Freetube. You can also import your NewPipe backup (history and subscriptions) Freetube will also allow you to have different profiles, that you could use one per device and regularly import their backups.

Still waiting for them to catch up and join the revolution of sat streaming, boostagrams , and other Podcasting 2.0 features. Still my app of choice (due to F-Droid availability and many years of playback history).

I came to the comment section expecting to read about Kavita. Thank you.

Luckily also other projects like Librera and KOReader (for other uses) were mentioned here too.

Don't forget about that marvelous standard called OPDS.

Make sure you have a good AC adapter and cable. Mine it's the GL-MT300N (v2) and I keep on missing the signal (although it's not rebooting). Not the proper voltage or amps might be the reason.
