someone 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.

Yup, I'm one of them :)

Ahh, I could always turn it off, maybe I will

Please don't use cloudflare.

Why 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.

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

Note that this behavior is not enabled by default. Websites behind Cloudflare need to opt into it, and they can choose which security level they use (with higher levels necessitating more CAPTCHAs).

Also, as someone who browses 100% of the time with a VPN, I hardly ever encounter Cloudflare CAPTCHAs. I've also been encountering less of them when using Tor; it seems Cloudflare has made progress in their efforts to reduce friction for Tor users. On the other hand, Google search frequently doesn't work at all - it refuses to serve me search results and doesn't even offer me the chance to solve a CATPCHA.

This 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.

shhhh

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

agree 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.

Yep, 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

salute 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].

you're a fringe case for whatever reason Everyone is a fringe case eventually. Even you.

Never encountered it once in thirteen years of using CloudFlare. If it did happen to me eventually as a one-off freak occurrence, that's a temporary fringe event. If it is happening to the commenter continually throughout CF's network then I'd say that's probably their problem. Frequent or consistent? Well, it's probably the user.

Happens to me too. And surely a bunch of others as well, who just don’t voice it.

Defending Firefox and adblock as a fringe case worthy of dismissal is a sad reflection of the current state of the internet.

Yeah 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 ;)
