Assuming you speak German: https://www.freie-radios.de/

Or here a audio platform where a lot of their content is posted afterwards, where you can discover stations and shows: https://www.freie-radios.net/ (albeit those are confusingly similar URLs)

This is my fantasy: renting a field nearby and do Argivolaics (TIL) 😊

In Germany we quite a few really cool alternative radio stations. They all have their local frequencies, shows and so on, but also share a German-wide morning show. It’s mostly recoded by the bigger projects, like in Berlin, but otherwise it would just take too much resources from small volunteer run stations.

Available in Germany for several months now and I never thought about actually trying it. There are many very good and more sustainable(!) alternatives available. But people are saying it really tastes quite the same. So congrats to the food designers at Ferrero.

Where did you end up? I'm looking for a new home, too.

This is cool, thanks

Sounds super cool, but still don’t know what bonfire does in practical terms. Can anyone elaborate?

Offline-first can be a lot, from my perspective. Just as yours and David's example, an application that work without active internet connection is valid. But this is rather common and the classic way how applications just operated for a long time (despite the modern mobile apps, which have to pull some strings nowadays to allow offline access).

What I find more interesting is when a system or application overcomes the otherwise required network connection. So maybe offpunk (from above) is an example, A web browser which puts everything in a cache, so you can continue to read, if offline. But that's a rather simple approach as well. The whole "opportunistic syncing" approach by Syncthing is also matching. It also covers some ground regarding resiliency. So another aspect could be resilience, meaning a connected system will not just survive a temporary outage of a node, but also continues to work as expected. Many distributed tools would probably count, even classics like git. ActivityPub based tools and the fediverse, on the other hand, are somewhat resilient, but not offline-first. Scuttlebutt would be though: https://scuttlebutt.nz/

Back to your examples: I think if a "simple local application" would do something we usually use network for, but technically don't have to, this would also be interesting for me. An actual example might be: https://devtoys.app/

I got recently inspired by this, which also has its own definition of offline-first: https://gemini.tildeverse.org/?gemini://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/~solderpunk/gemlog/announcing-offlfirsoch-2025.gmi (proxied from the Gemspace)

A key advantage of tools like obsidian is the local markdown data. So you can basically use this client until you don’t anymore. Then just move on, if you don’t use very specific plugins or something. So rather little risk here, in my opinion.

But other popular alternatives you might want to check out are logseq and Joplin.

Also same, in combination with syncthing to get it synced over multiple devices.
