Last Notes 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] 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] 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] 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] 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.

It's not always you get these three together in the same venue: Steve Roach, Michael Stearns with Robert Rich at the Ambient Lounge in Tucson, AZ, May 29-31. Unfortunately sold out already. If you are there, please say hi. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/112/459/359/806/682/459/original/c39f0ad251122dcc.jpg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] I would love to hear reports if this URL plays on any browser besides Mac Safari, Mac Chrome, Mac Firefox (the ones I've tested on, and Mac Chrome doesn't work) https://somafm.com/hls/gsplayer.html?fLaC You probably have to hit the play button and allow a second or two for buffering. npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] @npub1km9…rh4n This isn't code I wrote but vendor-supplied, and I'm helping them debug. My guess is they're not using audio/flac because it's a fMP4 container HLS stream. 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.

(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.

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.

I think social media doesn't scale. I can't think of a social platform that improved as it scaled. (Same goes for comment sections on news sites, and it's part of why I have always been leery about adding social sections to SomaFM) npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Remember when people ran bulletin boards just because they wanted to make a nice gathering place for their community and friends? #ripreddit npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Kelefa Sanneh and Joe Coscarelli discussing Sanneh’s new book, Major Labels, a History of Popular Music in Seven Genres. “A cultural part of the reason we like music is because we want to feel connected to all sorts of other people (who) like (the same)music, but also because we want to set ourselves apart” - Sanneh https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/110/493/930/364/131/988/original/7e24c0ac54388566.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] If you’re in Tucson tomorrow: https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/110/493/863/506/886/813/original/50e0252c94a6ef11.png npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Seen at the entrance to Apple Park this morning.

I keep trying to get Spotify to remove the graphics and change the names of this one for example: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ngcH4JpWSAc8GOHiZVpb9 It's one thing if they create a playlist with "songs played on Groove Salad" but don't make it look official. https://files.defcon.social/dcsocial-s3/media_attachments/files/110/431/639/879/397/077/original/8e811ae560c84fac.jpeg npub15qemvext9fs99sl6fd84r76vp0fhu6pcp3yqjfn58v6w02ez4nusecsnft Rusty Hodge [SomaFM] Louigi Verona is a popular Drone Zone and Deep Space One artist.

One thing I've noticed the past few days is the volume continues to drift and increase/decrease for odd periods of time. Specifically 4/26/2023 at 5:30AM EST, the volume will get pretty loud and then come back down. It does this at random times on different songs and it's quite frequent. Makes it hard to listen when the volume is all over the place." They later indicated they use Google Chrome and the web player.
