- Mistletoe 3y agoOh I love this, thank you.
- ddtaylor 3y agoMilkdrop is awesome. Sadly, I stopped using it back when Winamp went the way of the Dodo =( Thanks for the trip down memory lane with a shiny new paint job.
- quickthrower2 3y agoIt is ahead of modern AI though: Winamp whips a llamas ass.
- NightrideFM 3y agoMilkdrop is still one of the best 2D visualisers in my opinion. The version running on the site is a port to JS called butterchurn, but has much better resolution and FPS than the original
- x-complexity 3y agoThe overall feel is halfway between good & great: Push the output to a CRT & it feels like something that would've been on a well-crafted BBS back in the 90s. Font size needs to be made adjustable though, IMO. Each character's taking up too much space for my own liking.
- NightrideFM 3y agoNice idea, will jot it down on the todo for the next rewrite
- jusssi 3y agoHijacks the back button.
- razemio 3y agoI still do not understand why this is even allowed. It is so annoying. It is not even hard to do. Can happen accidentally.
- atoav 3y agoI mean you have to be able to do history manipulation if you want to have history to any meaningful changes you do via JS on a page (and you should make sure to adjust the URL as well so people can go back to that information). But I agree, it should not be possible to prevent users from leaving back from the site.
- fuzzy2 3y agoYou can easily spam the browser history using a redirect slide, effectively preventing users from leaving the page. No need for any JS, works even with active ad blockers. It’s relatively common on malicious sites.
- 0l 3y agoModern browsers will rarely store redirecting sites in the history stack AFAIK
- dcow 3y agoWhich browser does this? Would love to see the feature in action…
- mschuster91 3y agoEven on actually respectable newspapers. Spiegel Online for example has this in place...
- solarkraft 3y agoSpegel Online also does "pay or okay" (pay or accept tracking), so maybe at some point it's time to re-evaluate their respectability.
- franky47 3y agoMy favourite station on lofi.cafe was the synth space ambiance one, glad to see a web radio dedicated to synthwave and other electronic music genres. Hopefully it doesn't hoard CPU as lofi.cafe did.
- ukuina 3y agoIsn't this basically Soma.fm?
- politelemon 3y agoYour comment reminded me of it, I spent years of my life there. Glad to see it's still alive!
- nih0 3y agoAnyone have a link for the radio station with atc(or was it police radio) in the background ?
- irreducible 3y agohttps://www.lofiatc.com/?icao=klax https://www.lofiatc.com/?icao=klax
- nih0 3y agothank you :3
- nyx 3y agoAre you thinking of SomaFM's SF 10-33? https://somafm.com/sf1033/ https://somafm.com/sf1033/
- bayindirh 3y agoAlso, http://youarelistening.to http://youarelistening.to. New York station mixes live police radio.
- nurettin 3y agoNice, I'm getting slayradio vibes from this.
- codetrotter 3y agohttps://www.slayradio.org/home.php#news https://www.slayradio.org/home.php#news https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAY_Radio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAY_Radio For anyone else wondering what slay radio is.
- sat0ri 3y agoThis, and Nectarine
- chickenchicken 3y agoIs this Related to https://nightride.fm/ https://nightride.fm/ ?
- djvu97 3y agothis one too doesnt let you go back if music starts playing
- NightrideFM 3y agoshhhh
- Udo 3y agoWell, if you're in the habit of making these anyway, I would like to propose one for podsafe/stream-safe music.
- NightrideFM 3y agoIts so hard to manage, over time songs can transition from being safe to not... Quite a pain. I did already have a stab at it
- dcow 3y agoWhat is podsafe/stream-safe music?
- klooney 3y agoMusic with appropriate licensing- presumably something like CC0 that allows sharing, remixing, commercial use, and doesn't require attribution...
- jessmartin 3y agoagree this is a huge need. I stream a few hours a week and it's so much more _fun_ with good music. If anyone has a source for good, safe instrumental background music to use on-stream, I'm all ears.
- jchook 3y agoWould be sick if the music wasn't horrible lol.
- sdbrown 3y agoTo me it sounds dialed-in even on immediate landing. Different strokes!
- BuzzDegen 3y agoThis is cool
- warkanlock 3y agoDoes anyone know if an internet radio station like this exists but is not only restricted to a few genres?
- weedfroglozenge 3y agoI really enjoy Soma.FM which has a wider range of genres. The cult classic is "Groove Salad" Edit: There's also the free-with-ads, or paid subscription option, of digitally imported (Di.FM)
- ciroduran 3y ago+1 to Soma.FM, many many years streaming really good music
- teki_one 3y agoYoutube has radio stations too: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=live+radio+stations+online https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=live+radio+stat...
- abnercoimbre 3y agoBest one is Radio Garden [0] [0] https://radio.garden https://radio.garden
- toofy 3y agoi’ll echo what others have said: soma.fm
- RadiozRadioz 3y ago+1 for SomaFM. I also like Radio Paradise: https://radioparadise.com/ https://radioparadise.com/
- joemazerino 3y agoSomaFM takes the cake here. Tags Trip, Groove Salad and Space Station are my personal favourites. I regularly donate. Fun fact: I found SomaFM through Kali Linux. Of all things!
- echelon 3y agoI'd never heard Orson Welles' radio play "War of the Worlds" [1] before. Just spent the last 40 minutes or so listening to the whole thing on this website. Only at the intermission does it become obvious that this is a radio drama. That was really good, and I can only imagine it was incredible back in 1938. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(1938_radio_drama) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(1938_ra... edit: I just went back to the site and it appears to be gone! edit 2: It's on YouTube, but Rekt's radio dropped me right into the action (~16:30). It felt much more real without the backstory or scene setting. A good way to experience it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs0K4ApWl4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs0K4ApWl4g
- wraptile 3y agoGiven the name I found it poetic that I could not reach the website because of overly-aggressive cloudflare protection. Wrecked network indeed.
- NightrideFM 3y agoAhh, I could always turn it off, maybe I will
- callahad 3y agoIf you want to stick with Cloudflare, you can ease the pain by going into your zone -> Security -> Settings. Disabling Browser Integrity Check and adjusting "Security Level" down to "Essentially Off" should help.
- goodpoint 3y agoPlease don't use cloudflare.
- mdp2021 3y agoAt least a shard of a justification for the oracular? Maybe a link to some rant-list, maybe a coincise stub? (Reply: "goodpoint".)
- _-____-_ 3y agoWhy not? Most of the complaints people have with Cloudflare regarding CAPTCHAs and user-hostile behavior are opt-in features that are not enabled by default. A website behind Cloudflare needs to enable extra protection to opt into the CAPTCHAs. If your issue is more generally with a single provider becoming a global MITM for 10% of the internet, then that's a more understandable argument, albeit a meaninglessly existential one.
- goodpoint 3y agoA global MITM is a huge problem for privacy and access to information. Not to mention is anti-competitive. But, importantly, Cloudflare is also very hostile to Tor. A number of people in the world rely on it for their security and safety.
- nikolay 3y agoFreezes my browser.
- NightrideFM 3y agoWe take retro seriously, now your computer performs like a Pentium II
- nikolay 3y agoKinda slower even...
- vrglvrglvrgl 3y ago[dead]
- niteshade 3y agoAny chance of seeing Rekt on Apple Music? Would love to be able to use it as a radio station when I'm driving
- NightrideFM 3y agoOh man, would be a no-go for rekt I think. Perhaps with Nightride.FM Bluetooth comms should work with any smartphone though, but definitely works easier on androids
- niteshade 3y agoAh that's a shame, thanks for replying nonetheless :)
- solarkraft 3y agoWhy wouldn't you be able to? Plays fine in the background on Firefox for iOS for me.
- rychco 3y agoI wasn’t aware of rekt.network but NightrideFM has been my daily music choice for a few months now. Love the site
- NightrideFM 3y agothats awesome! glad you're enjoying it
- Brometheus 3y agoI love it, too. I had nightride open for month and then the flickering crashed my Dell Monitor :joy: I rebooted it via hard reset and opened nightride again, but I made sure to stop the flickering. :joy:
- NightrideFM 3y ago!! Gotta make that new hardware perform on par with 90s gear
- HeckFeck 3y agoFinally, something to listen to whilst I read https://rekt.news/ https://rekt.news/
- TheSkyHasEyes 3y agoNew site to daily read, thanks!
- HeckFeck 3y agoYw. It's the most effective inculcation against cryptoscams known to the internet.
- spyder 3y agoThey have very cool videos: https://www.youtube.com/@rektnews https://www.youtube.com/@rektnews and music too: https://open.spotify.com/track/5Iv22H82gHx5Uyfb9tnlCp?si=3dfde6db52704665 https://open.spotify.com/track/5Iv22H82gHx5Uyfb9tnlCp?si=3df...
- omani 3y agosomeone mentioned nightride.fm the other day (yesterday?) on another thread as a comment and now this pops up. sometimes I wonder if bots read HN and submit related stories/topics.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- dilap 3y agoprobably just humans -- very natural to see a story or comment and then think of something to submit.
- NightrideFM 3y agoOh really? Interesting theory
- solarkraft 3y agoYup, I'm one of them :)
- tomaszsobota 3y agobeen listening for the past few hours, good stuff
- sgt 3y agoAlso check out https://scenestream.net/ https://scenestream.net/ mostly cool demoscene music

- daneel_w 3y agohttps://kohina.com/ https://kohina.com/ is one of my regular waterholes.
- dom96 3y agoReally cool. Love the shout out to Hacker News just now.
- NightrideFM 3y agoBig ups
- moffkalast 3y agoRekt network? I swear I didn't touch the router config! Ah ffs, why is DNS ping 20 seconds...
- geekifier 3y agoReally cool design, the Milkdrop tab is a nice touch! I found some of the stations to be perfect as background tunes while working.
- Sujeto 3y agoGreat stuff. Already gave it a fixed spot in my monitor.
- snowy909 3y agoFantastic coding music and the winamp retro vibe is awesome. Love the overall design
- hardwaresofton 3y agoThis is amazing. Excellent site, quality music and great for programming. One thing that would be awesome would be a bandcamp link for the artists that show up -- I know that's something I look for (manually) when I hear a really great track that really fits with what I like to listen to.
- NightrideFM 3y agoYep, this is actually on the cards. I've got nowplaying info returning spotify links to artist's tracks. The problem with bandcamp is they closed their API a long time ago, so i gotta manage my records semi-manually
- hardwaresofton 3y agosalute Godspeed. I wonder if it's something you could crowdsource -- if you have a list of your collection, you could just put the titles in a doc or something and let people have at it. [EDIT] BTW I just started playing with the EQ. WOW that is a fantastic feature. Such a simple thing and I love being able to turn up the low range/high range as I like. Another level, because almost always I want more bass. [EDIT2] Granted I don't go to music sites that much on the internet, this is happiest I've been with a site like this since Madeon's Adventure Machine[0]. [0]: https://adventuremachine.4thfloorcreative.co.uk/ https://adventuremachine.4thfloorcreative.co.uk/
- NightrideFM 3y agoYeah have thought about it, we have a fairly large community on discord that could help out too. I didn't want people clipping their signal too hard with the EQ, hence the current limit. I'd probably need to think about adding a limiter for the sake of people's speakers. You can instead turn ethe other frequencies down and then your volume up, same effect ;)
- hardwaresofton 3y agoOh yeah that's exactly what I did... Put everything down, then turned somethings up (and also found the bass limits of my Sony WH-1000XM2s :)
- entropie 3y agoAny direct links to the stations? I would like to save it in my mp3 playlist directory
- NightrideFM 3y agohttps://stream.rekt.network/<station_name>.mp3 https://stream.rekt.network/<station_name>.mp3 station_name = rekt | rektory | nightride | chillsynth | datawave | spacesynth | darksynth | horrorsynth | ebsm
- jcmontx 3y agoWow, that's something you don't see everyday! (an use case for SPAs I mean)
- NightrideFM 3y agoNavigation without music interruption!
- worldmerge 3y agoThis is awesome! Wow, that's a Ghost CMS site? It looks really good!
- NightrideFM 3y agoYeah... I've been meaning to write something a little more integrated and SEO friendly, rather than just iframing that blog, but I've not gotten around to it
- oidar 3y agoIf you wish to listen without the website popping up, just format the stream url like so: https://stream.rekt.network/datawave.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/datawave.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/nightride.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/nightride.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/chillsynth.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/chillsynth.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/rekt.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/rekt.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/rektory.ogg https://stream.rekt.network/rektory.ogg
- NightrideFM 3y agoYou can also tune into the non-rekt ones via YouTube
- oidar 3y agoAny chance of support Amazon's Alexa? I frequently listen to SomaFM on alexa and would love to add your streams to my rotation.
- NightrideFM 3y agooh we looked into that a while back, should do so again
- snvzz 3y agoMy chrome got served mp3, when these streams (which are opus) exist, and chrome is definitely capable of playing them, as they play as I click them. Why send me mp3?
- Waterluvian 3y agoMobile Safari gives me .ogg when I click those links. Weird indeed.
- oidar 3y agoI don't know what to tell ya - firefox serves me .ogg.
- mattanimation 3y agoI freaking love this
- deegles 3y agoFor those wondering, the entire top banner is the volume bar. Just drag the volume icon to the left.

- mexicanArmada 3y agoThis is amazing. I'm sure there's a lot of lore behind the project.
- jaimeporras 3y agoIncredible. Thank you for this. Thank you.
- g4mbt 3y agoOnce upon a time I visited the MIT campus in the summer, I could hear someone blasting music through a window dorm room that I really liked. At the time I couldn't figure out what kind of music it was, I couldn't even describe it. It was a mix between techno, sci-fi, hip hop, punk, and just sounded very chill. I went through a lot of online radio stations at the time trying to find something similar but never could. This reminded me of that summer, thanks for sharing!
- NightrideFM 3y agoOh that sounds like an interesting blend! Wonder if you can find any example artists/songs that fit what you recall
