   That's what I thought. Why are Phones (especially Android) so unreliable regarding audio... just frustrating.

   Sansa Clip is great - but WAY behind iPods in Terms of usability regarding audio books. Even with rockbox. I still like the idea of owning one.

   Tangara is already linked in [5]. To bulky for me. I also modded an iPod Classic 2009 with iFlash Quad, 512GB storage (it could handle more but the original software can't) and 2000mah battery, which results in >60h playback time. A

   Yeah, you may be right... but I always see nostalgia discussions about how it would be to have a distraction free audio player with iPod features and size... So there would be definetely a market in my opinion :-) And since there are modern

   Usually, I start with the official docs. Most of the time they are starting with the basics, but non-video content can be skipped very easily. Then it is always a good idea to read open source code. Look for not too big projects leading in

    I usually use mermaid.js... From time to time I use svgbob[1]. Sometimes paired with textik[2] or asciiflow[3]. Together with markdown and termsvg[4] these also can be handy for documentation purposes. 1: https://ivanceras.github

    Absolutely. There is a german book called "Erziehen ohne Schimpfen" (Parenting without scolding), which provided me deep insights into the behaviour of my children and my own behaviour in response to it. It is also a stated fact i

    This is kind of true... It is extremely hard to stay calm in many situations having kids. In my opinion this has nothing to do with the ability to stay calm in general. It's more like long time of being stressed out that gets you there

    Maybe take a look at Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care (latest edition). Great book with good advice. My personal experience: 1. Prepare to be exhausted for a long time (about 2 years) - you can't do much about it, this is just the

    Thank you for that, this is a great overview and good hints for getting started. I was thinking about getting a MangoPi Pro with Allwinner D1 and 1GB RAM from aliexpress, which would cost 33 bucks in my country.

    Absolutely. The iPod Mini is a usable device that can be modded. The only thing I'm missing on these "older" models (not that iPod Classic 2009 or iPod Nano 7g 2012 are young) is the earphone remote control (e.g. of the cable

    You could take a look at the Rockbox supported device list[1]. Depending on the size requirements and the budget you could go for a Sansa Clip+. I personally prefer the iPod Nano 7th gen, which is great in terms of usability, has bluetooth

    This is great news, thank you for pointing this out. I'll transfer that knowledge to the rockbox community, if they don't know. Maybe someone is willing / has time to do the work. I unfortunately can't (2 kids, 2 jobs...

    Great work, thank you. Till today, I use the "unhackable" iPod Nano 7g. I collected a ton of information what would be needed to hack it, but unfortunately, I did not have the time. In case you are interested in getting functional

    You could install macOS on a Proxmox Server[1]. It's a hell of a procedure and probably more work than just getting an old MacBook Pro 2015 using OpenCore Legacy Patcher[2] to install current macOS. Once you got it working (signing key

    I'm not convinced that I would choose Merlin, because it only supports a very limited amount of devices. However, I had Asus routers in the past and they were not half bad. If you don't need USB and could switch to OpenWRT, you co
