Earlier quoted context omitted.

I 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.

You 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.

Modern browsers will rarely store redirecting sites in the history stack AFAIK

shhhh

Well, if you're in the habit of making these anyway, I would like to propose one for podsafe/stream-safe music.

Its 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

Given the name I found it poetic that I could not reach the website because of overly-aggressive cloudflare protection. Wrecked network indeed.

I'm locked out of so many sites, I loathe it. Cost of rolling in an everything blocker Firefox. At least it helps me find good old-fashioned text based websites.

Does anyone know if an internet radio station like this exists but is not only restricted to a few genres?

I 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)

+1 to Soma.FM, many many years streaming really good music

Is this Related to https://nightride.fm/ ?

Must be. It even references Nightride FM in the HTML - although it's commented out. I wonder what the relationship is. Rekt has all identifying, and social relations removed. Although it exists for longer than the other. Edit: further investigation reveals that they use the same resources in the background, same radio, same songs at the same time. I really wonder why.

Rekt came first, maybe 8 years ago now, Nightride a later iteration catering to a larger community with all the music submitted by artists

Milkdrop 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.

Milkdrop 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
