Woah I forgot all about this, I used to listen in like 2006-2009 when I was into podcasts. That's awesome they're still doing it!

What do you consume in your post-podcast era?

Oh, so what could be a problem?

I have automatic time update set up on mobile so this shouldn’t be an issue…

Did you by chance set up a MitM proxy to debug something on your phone and forgot to disable it? Here is the fingerprint I see:

Thanks. I am not aware of anything.

Instead of default Safari, I have tried Firefox and the page displays the same message about validity of ssl_certificate.

But site was down btw, nginx bad gateway - HN kiss of death, I assume…

I really hoped for a radio station with nice music.

Yeah soma.fm is very good. I hear it for like 20 years now on off.

SomaFM is an utter institution. It predates SF being overrun with techbro culture--the hackers were mostly in the valley, the city was an even slice of misfits and outcasts (and hackers among the mix, not dominating it), and the bros were mostly still going into finance.

Thanks!

Got it to play uninterrupted with mobile locked, such a great feeling after years of wrestling with YouTube working tirelessly to prevent the same mobile experience (Android, Firefox).

At least after hackers hack the radio station to play some nice music. Wouldn’t that be a cool idea? The hackable radio station where you get your songs played if you manage to hack it.

Wouldn't it be cool if hackers talked to each other like truckers in their own language?

It's about 30 years out of date, but there used to be the Jargon File - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon_File

I’m syncing on that but my time slice is closing for this clock cycle.

Tech people kind of do, we just dont notice it until trying to describe things to others.

I had some YouTube video on aanf they were benchmarking something, my wife was like "what does any of that mean?"

I realised that, yeah that last sentence was basically just nothing but abbreviations and acronyms. I understood it perfectly but from the outside it is total nonsense.

This isn't just a tech thing, this goes for almost all specialtys.

I used to listen the hacker public radio maybe 10 years ago, what a great rediscovery for me! So many unlistened episodes.

Re:Hacker Public Radio by ynac on Thursday July 30, 2026 @03:51PM (#49114877)

There's also https://anonradio.net which is less about hacking and more just hackers with music to share. It's classic SDF-based fun.

Re:Hacker Public Radio by user3939382 on Thursday July 30, 2026 @09:07PM (#49117900)

I fucking love SDF. It’s like a shining beacon of the old school computing scene that’s still standing.

If you need an excuse, it’s great for a box to SSH into to ping or traceroute lynx etc to test networking from a third party.

Love HPR!

And adding another...(constantly playing in my casa)... Radio Paradise [0]

Mostly the Main Mix and Rock mix, and has been a great source of new music discovery for me.
