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.

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

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.

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.

Good reminder to send Rusty Hodge my annual $20

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.

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.

Another excuse is it's a free webhost :)

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).
