  • I don’t have a specific recommendation, but I believe the key words to search for these days are “Digital Audio Player”.

    I’ve been following the open hardware Tangara for a while, but they’re between production runs right now so you can’t buy from them (you might be able to build your own though, the design is all there)

    As a heads up, like so many other technologies the middle has fallen out of the market thanks to the proliferation of smart phones. You’ll be paying a lot for anything decent from what I’ve seen








  • I had to make that technology decision recently and decided on Zigbee. I don’t see any real advantage to Matter other than future support, and current support is much much lower than Zigbee.

    The “seamless internet/cloud connection” is a massive turnoff. Products proudly advertising Matter and then hiding Thread vs WiFi is a pain. And frankly only IKEA really seems to be offering anything Matter with AU plugs and they’re super coy about it so I’m never confident about what I’m getting.


  • Check what version of Syncthing-fork you’re running. IIRC there was a major breaking change between 1.x and 2.x, so they published a new app to make sure people only upgraded deliberately.

    AFAICT F-droid hasn’t built the new app (yet?). The redirect is on GitHub’s end. You can also install older versions through F-Droid if you prefer (but not 1.x, I don’t believe those are published anymore)
