Woah I forgot all about this, I used to listen in like 2006-2009 when I was into podcasts. That's awesome they're still doing it!

What do you consume in your post-podcast era?

Says Not Before: Thu, 09 Jul 2026 01:02:21 GMT ; Not After: Wed, 07 Oct 2026 01:02:20 GMT for me. Works fine, too.

Oh, so what could be a problem?

I have automatic time update set up on mobile so this shouldn’t be an issue…

Did you by chance set up a MitM proxy to debug something on your phone and forgot to disable it? Here is the fingerprint I see:

    Testing via IPv4:

Thanks. I am not aware of anything.

Instead of default Safari, I have tried Firefox and the page displays the same message about validity of ssl_certificate.

But site was down btw, nginx bad gateway - HN kiss of death, I assume…

I really hoped for a radio station with nice music.

At least after hackers hack the radio station to play some nice music. Wouldn’t that be a cool idea? The hackable radio station where you get your songs played if you manage to hack it.

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.
entropie•Jul 30, 2026
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?
tempodox•Jul 30, 2026
I’m syncing on that but my time slice is closing for this clock cycle.

It's about 30 years out of date, but there used to be the Jargon File - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon_File

Anyone remember the predecessor, Today With A Techie (Twatech Radio): https://twatech.org

I used to listen the hacker public radio maybe 10 years ago, what a great rediscovery for me! So many unlistened episodes.

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.
