Last Notes npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] My complaint emails are in a roll today. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/113/013/575/399/145/387/original/2c9e5d16d0c61611.png npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Thanks for all the feedback on this. I'm not really a fan of either BB or Amazon. Last year when we did the big hardware upgrade and put 50+ new SSDs in, I ended up buying half of them from BB (picked up locally) and half from Amazon. BB is an easy place to buy Samsung SSDs npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Honest question: what is worse, Best Buy or Amazon? ( For the equivalent products) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Policy Status screen says No issues found with your developer account So I don't know what is going on. I don't even remember why we created this. Something to do with casting I think. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/963/409/658/811/936/original/037817e1f5ed6523.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I give up. "Contact Support" doesn't give me relevant info and certainly no way to contact them. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/963/379/025/765/883/original/80f89f38a541613e.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] It's always fun getting an email from someone who listeners to our syndicated public radio version of Groove Salad. KPBS 89.5 in San Diego carries us on their HD3 channel, so lots of people in cars discover us down there. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Jut now I momentarily broke our Sonos app because I tested something in production 🤣 I fixed it 2 minutes later but... oops. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Listener email saying why they may not be donating again: "please mix up the music a bit. I notice the same songs play over and over again" (on DEFCON Radio and Groove Salad). DEFCON has played over 5000 tracks in July, Groove Salad has played 3717 different tracks in July.) Sure, Tiki Time, Bossa Beyond and The In Sound have more limited playlists but they're really only designed to be listened to 1-2 hours a day at most) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1rhh…x7ej I guess I need a device that takes a SIM and turns it into a VOIP trunk :) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] It's strange, my old legacy (personal) account lets me get SMS on a voip/virtual hosted line still. It's just I can't setup something that way from scratch. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Dear US Gov: SomaFM doesn't have a dedicated company cell phone, nor a "Landline". (This is for DMCA agent registration which is being transferred to use the stupid login gov site for authentication) https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/808/889/749/347/213/original/b46697e30b0f5668.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1u3f…nne2 We get postcards from companies trying to sell us HR and recruiting services addressed to all of our DJs who list SomaFM on their Linked In. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I don't know why we are on these mailing lists. "Imagine transforming your radio station with a brand new revenue stream by hosting an exciting "Best of" contest in your market. Our cutting-edge software platform empowers you to drive revenue, generate valuable leads, and captivate your community like never before. With over a hundred successful contests already running on our platform, we've revolutionized the traditional newspaper promotion, leveraging the powerful reach of radio to engage a much larger audience." npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] By "streamline the music submission process" I think they mean spam us more? "I hope you're having a great day. I'm Allan, and I wanted to tell you about RhetoricSound, a tool that could really streamline the music submission process at SomaFM Covers. With RhetoricSound, you can centralize all your submissions, sort them easily, and listen to tracks directly on the platform. Approving or rejecting submissions is just a click away." npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] continued issues with the Underground 80s playout system (the computer we use to control and mix the music, process the audio and encode the streams) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1r0m…jq7e That silly company changes their URLs every couple of years, to make things look "fresh". I'll just remove the link and people can google it. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] And I guess they never looked at https://somafm.com/about/faq.html npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] They missed the most important questions about the playout system and audio & encoding chain. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Play better tracks dude https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/698/863/056/392/296/original/7a019ac3d951146b.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] If your merch is late it’s because for the 2nd time this week USPS claimed they picked up our mail and didn’t. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/697/570/280/726/738/original/47e94e8f7f511e17.jpeg https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/697/570/603/781/163/original/8ce1af287e301554.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1nx0…32p7 Just strange you can't access the chat until you're logged in. Yet the info isn't passed on. Assume the integration was too hard to implement :) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Anyway, done with the tax issues and back to the music! Here's a label that always does a lot of good releases that fit Groove Salad, Beat Blender and Defcon Radio: https://www.sine-music.com I was getting caught up on some of their releases while "stuck in chat" with the tax people. They're one of those musician-driven labels and the production quality is always top notch. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Even though I'm logged into our CA tax account on their website, using the chat, they always ask you to give them all the details you're already logged in with. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] "Your chat is important to us. Please continue to hold and your chat will be answered in the order it was received." npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Hey #datacenter peeps, have you ever had a network interface go into a error/disabled mode because of a problem cable? Got an e1rexpress / Intel NIC that crashes its driver every couple hours. Read on the web some fixes by replacing the net cable. Trying to decide if a trip to the datacenter should involve replacing the MB on that machine, or just the network cable. (The machine isn't crashed, you can see the screen changing via the IPMI, it's just unreachable on the network. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Rick Beato gets emails like I do 🤣 “Rick, I wrote a song that I think can be a hit. I used Al to hear it because I know nothing about making music. If you are interested in hearing what Al did, I can send it to you. Best, Jeff” https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/681/538/218/719/792/original/00ef612b05b16f1a.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I screwed up the other day and ordered a ton of boxes that we used to put the hats in, then I realized we only have about 30 hats left in stock here because hats or something to print on demand people do a pretty good job of. So now I have about 300 boxes for hats 150 those which I doubt I will ever use. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Delete Avid Link. Install ProTools latest version from slightly hidden text link on the website. Avid Link is no installed again, so you have to uninstall it again. Thanks Avid! npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Here’s my typical #ProTools experience: Need to do something that should take 5 minutes (e.g. update voice track on older podcast). Run ProTools. "You need to update!" ok update. [some kind of error happens] (Then spend 30 minutes trying to figure out what the error was, finally saying forget it, running old version that didn’t need an update anyway) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1nx0…32p7 This is not a website. This is a Mac application. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] #AvidLink crashed installing the first time, now it won't let me re-download the installer. I don't know why I even bother upgrading Protools. If I spent the time I spend dealing with ProTools frustrations, I could become a Logic expert, no doubt. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/673/194/483/703/178/original/99bcc5680c927242.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Dear Avid, your Mac software should not ask me to download an update for Windows. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/673/075/350/475/669/original/dbb4812949447d79.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Except Alison Pill. I don’t know exactly what it is, but she really bugs me, she really bugs me in all the shows I’ve seen her in. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] The show “Devs” is quite good on a second watching. It’s weird that so many of the TV shows I really like, I end up watching multiple times. A lot of the modern TV shows that are popular with the public are not that interesting to me. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Not really a fan of ambient music with bird sounds and crickets. Also not a fan of abstract jazz with traffic and water sounds in it. I'm sure they all have their place. It's just funny how much of that there is in pile of music I'm auditioning right now. PS- This new insectarium release is perfect for Dark Zone. https://slitheringblackrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hypatia npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] That playlist is just kind of a starting point to try and get the vibe down. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I we had a program called "Fused Funktion" what kind of music would you expect on it? Trying to come up with a name for a mix of jazz fusion and the jazzier side of funk. Mostly 70s but not exclusively. The other name was "Diffusion" but that kind of ignores the funk aspect. Here's an excerpt of it: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6yJ0vcVYuGHA7kO81Aoxtv?si=a8b4a6827d5e46bb&pt=eb31a13bc1ea26de9be61c8c57729521 npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] 25 years ago when I was at some big club in Ibiza, I used one of the early "internet photo booths" in the club, and used the dj at soma email. I've been getting tons of Spanish spam since that day. Lucky the spam filter catches 99% of it. Innocent times. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Is it annoying when I post silly emails here or can they be slightly interesting/funny/ironic? npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] No, I don't want "Stuart Hagenson as well" https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/656/516/830/739/875/original/a495bef9f0287f6f.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Who puts a "Verify you're human" on a unsubscribe/optout page? Why hotel marketing firm revinate.com does! Add them to your block list I guess. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1c6n…vvrf Yeh. But it's a single IP "consumer" service. They charge more for business class service. I'm waiting to hear back on a quote for them for their 10G biz service. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Fascinating how pricing has changed on high speed (commercial/symmetric) internet in the last 23 years. In 2001, I was paying $1800 a month for 2 1.5mb SDSL connections. Now... And if I wanted consumer service, many people (alas not my street) can get 1G symmetric from Sonic for under $100 a month. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/653/254/749/320/226/original/5ba7a058c0aae02c.png npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] And #7 is really more about honesty than sex. Don’t cheat on the person you’ve agreed to have a monogamous relationship with. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] The first commandment is the one I have issues with. 5-10 are good wisdom to live by, as is 2 (have no idols). I guess you could interpret number four, remembering the Sabbath day, as a warning to not work too hard and take some time off! npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1u3f…nne2 Yeh, OpenTable I recall is guilty of this. I *have* a password for your site, let me use it. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1dfj…u294 Oh, that means it's not available outside the USA, we need to fix that to give a better error message and redirect you to the products that are available internationally. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] SomaFM's bank got taken over by Chase a few weeks ago. Spent many hours today working with our bookkeeper trying to get Quickbooks all straightened out. (Chase helpfully carried over all the past transactions which QB wanted to re-import again). Also I hate QB but the alternatives are just as bad. (In the early days, it was all just transactions dumped into Excel but at a certain point that became unmanageable and made our accountant hate me) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1e5s…rnn6 To be clear, it's two different producers, Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton. I always loved the Global Communications name npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] To clarify, Pritchard & Middleton often produce dance music, but Global Communications was their more ambient project. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Global Communications (Pritchard/Middleton) are known more for their ambient than their house tracks, but I've always liked this one a lot: https://open.spotify.com/track/6SFoNrhSnYXrZYKwnxvEvK?si=7f5e4d4eb8924c27 And I also like the old R&B/Jazz Fusion track it heavily samples from, "The Sweetest Pain" by Dexter Wansel https://open.spotify.com/track/0Qlbpljv5ZRlxRaYYnsvih?si=387325b76e014061 npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Today's Bandcamp impulse purchases https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/622/626/426/124/322/original/bce3956a24e6abcd.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Finally got caught up on all the merch from the big fund drive 2 weeks ago. Now waiting for the postal carrier to pick up. (This is just the items that come from our offices, there was even more via the Print on Demand service. Thanks all for your support! https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/617/840/972/066/752/original/ff42e54298710d0b.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] If Apple ever comes out with a Mac Studio with 32TB SSD, I'd probably buy it.

I'll keep you posted what their response is. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] So 'fLaC' doesn't work on Chrome! https://somafm.com/hls/gsplayer.html?FLAC (Try that in Safari vs Chrome, currently now set to fLaC) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1km9…rh4n The MIME spec is what confused me. Thanks for that ietf link! "Magic number(s)" is the phrase I was missing. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1km9…rh4n Can you point me to where the spec defines the magic number as fLaC? (Or hints on searching for it) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Apparently newer versions of Safari Media Source Extensions expect the mimetype for FLAC files to be 'fLaC" not 'flac' or 'FLAC'. Shouldn't they be case-insensitive? npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] The TuneIn crap reminds me of these words of wisdom https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tHEOGrkhDp0 npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I hear that TuneIn is randomly inserting ads in the middle of broadcaster streams, without the cooperation or permission of the broadcaster. Maybe there’s room for a class action lawsuit here? npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Hahahahaha https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/412/302/945/952/885/original/98c497f06af6bbd1.png npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Looks like today’s Sonos app update broke images.

Well most of the TVs have Netflix built-in now, they also have a mode that you can use the TV as a Bluetooth speaker for your phone. But what I want is to be able to use my Bluetooth speaker as a speaker for the TV. Or headphones. Most TVs have such bad quality audio. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Anyone beta testing a new Sonos update? npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Lots of merch going out today.

Who are we actually trying to "protect" from the words? npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I'm so funny #420day https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/306/179/618/719/580/original/56cff83cae73a46e.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] There were a couple tech issues getting the Nerd Show live today. It's on now! npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Shout out to SomaFM listener Jessie, who recognized me at the strangest place: the oral surgeon office. He’s a big DEF CON radio fan. I’m just here for a check up, but I hope his procedure goes very well! npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Lush's original description was "Sensuous and mellow mostly female vocals, with an electronic influence." Also, over time, about 50% more people have clicked the "Love" button than the WTF button for Sigur Rós, so I've continued to play a few of their tracks that just seemed to fit the vibe. Maybe I'm wrong. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/266/126/622/370/210/original/04da0e9e281aea73.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] K&D vs S&G https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/261/194/891/217/343/original/485a6c3c8561181f.png https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/261/195/150/158/010/original/6b39624ca2ff6dd7.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] The #eclipse is almost over in #sanfrancisco now https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/237/171/718/788/852/original/95ac9fe79177492b.png npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Don't look at the sun!!!! #eclipse #sanfrancisco https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/237/007/869/354/138/original/f56444a80cd43efb.png npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Nice blurb about Steve Roach's upcoming show at Grace Cathedral in #sf https://48hills.org/2024/03/ambient-hero-steve-roach-builds-structures-from-silence-inside-grace-cathedral/ https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/209/732/026/597/924/original/e90b0a12ecff045b.png npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I don't think they know what a disaster actually is. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/202/779/497/833/443/original/4edd9a10a4cc4ff7.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] This should be great. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/194/247/275/871/116/original/683a60c58a5f60cf.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Here's it's track from https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-76.523/centery:39.228/zoom:14 https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/161/156/123/101/619/original/9022e73eacfef940.jpeg https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/161/159/647/930/174/original/6a0820777d6c3159.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1rdh…wzv5 Just use our Android App if you want full BT support. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dgmltn.radiomg.somafm npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Right now the SomaFM website is pretty much desktop(or laptop)/tablet. We serve up a limited front page to mobile, but would like to convert the whole thing to being responsive, while keeping the same look and feel on tablet/desktop but then shrink down to something usable on phones, like collapse the main menu to a hamburger menu, make the right column move to under the "main" (center) column, etc. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I try to make sure no once a day cron jobs run between 1am and 3am just in case. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] In today’s mail from Frank and Tony at Monkeys Brew Media: https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/068/338/830/781/711/original/16ce00dfdbff81d9.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Do t make fun.

Groove Salad was playing silence for about 40 minutes from around 4pm-4:40pm. I was updating the music library, and apparently hit Ctl-A -- which does't mean select all on that system --, it means disable Auto-play (which means you will manually advance each song). And I wasn't listening or paying attention to it as I was loading music on Drone Zone and Deep Space at the same time and got distracted, etc. So embarrassing!!! Worse is that I missed the alert that warns me when a song hasn't changed in 15 minutes until now.... oops. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] And at least our power is back on. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Power went off at SomaFM's office about 20 minutes ago. Seems to have affected a strange collection of blocks. Sad for the people missing that big TV show right now, mostly sad for the bodega across from us who had to close their doors when the power went out.... there is a block part a block over and they'd probably be doing a lot of business today. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/111/915/930/344/984/797/original/7284a8ab53ae0606.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Says something when no one - including the station operators- noticed their AM was off the air.

Proc. 2000-50 defines computer software for this purpose as “any program or routine (that is, sequence of machine-readable code) that is designed to cause a computer to perform a desired function or set of functions, and the documentation required to describe and maintain that program or routine.” Also under the revenue procedure, software development includes all forms and media in which software is contained (e.g., operating systems, executive systems, monitors, compilers and translators, assembly routines and utility programs, and application programs). Software development does not include a data or information base described in Regs. Sec. 1.197-2(b)(4) — e.g., data files, customer lists, or client files — unless the item is in the public domain and is incidental to a computer program (Regs. Sec. 1.197-2(c)(4)(iv)), nor does it include costs or procedures that are external to a computer’s operation. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] F*** YOUR PASSWR=ORD REQUIREMENTS.
