Rekt.network

If you wish to listen without the website popping up, just format the stream url like so:

https://stream.rekt.network/datawave.ogg

https://stream.rekt.network/nightride.ogg

https://stream.rekt.network/chillsynth.ogg

https://stream.rekt.network/rekt.ogg

https://stream.rekt.network/rektory.ogg

My chrome got served mp3, when these streams (which are opus) exist, and chrome is definitely capable of playing them, as they play as I click them.

Why send me mp3?

You can also tune into the non-rekt ones via YouTube

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.

I'm locked out of so many sites, I loathe it. Cost of rolling in an everything blocker Firefox. At least it helps me find good old-fashioned text based websites.

[NightrideFM]

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

[hammyhavoc]

That's probably a PEBKAC in terms of your software choices or behaviour. Works fine for most users, you're a fringe case for whatever reason.

[hardwaresofton]

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.

[NightrideFM]

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

[chickenchicken]

Is this Related to https://nightride.fm/ ?

[npteljes]

Must be. It even references Nightride FM in the HTML - although it's commented out.

I wonder what the relationship is. Rekt has all identifying, and social relations removed. Although it exists for longer than the other.

Edit: further investigation reveals that they use the same resources in the background, same radio, same songs at the same time. I really wonder why.

[NightrideFM]

shhhh

[djvu97]

this one too doesnt let you go back if music starts playing

[jusssi]

Hijacks the back button.

[NightrideFM]

Oh damn, I should probably fix that

[razemio]

I still do not understand why this is even allowed. It is so annoying. It is not even hard to do. Can happen accidentally.

[hpeter]

I came here to say the same. I don't like it.

[CaptainNegative]

rekt.browser

[djvu97]

Ban such sites with loud music and hijacking back button

[echelon]

I'd never heard Orson Welles' radio play "War of the Worlds" [1] before.

Just spent the last 40 minutes or so listening to the whole thing on this website. Only at the intermission does it become obvious that this is a radio drama.

That was really good, and I can only imagine it was incredible back in 1938.

edit: I just went back to the site and it appears to be gone!

edit 2: It's on YouTube, but Rekt's radio dropped me right into the action (~16:30). It felt much more real without the backstory or scene setting. A good way to experience it.

Milkdrop is awesome. Sadly, I stopped using it back when Winamp went the way of the Dodo =(

Thanks for the trip down memory lane with a shiny new paint job.

[NightrideFM]

Milkdrop is still one of the best 2D visualisers in my opinion. The version running on the site is a port to JS called butterchurn, but has much better resolution and FPS than the original

[quickthrower2]

It is ahead of modern AI though: Winamp whips a llamas ass.

[HeckFeck]

Finally, something to listen to whilst I read https://rekt.news/

[x-complexity]

The overall feel is halfway between good & great: Push the output to a CRT & it feels like something that would've been on a well-crafted BBS back in the 90s.

Font size needs to be made adjustable though, IMO. Each character's taking up too much space for my own liking.

[NightrideFM]

Nice idea, will jot it down on the todo for the next rewrite

[sgt]

Also check out https://scenestream.net/ mostly cool demoscene music

[g4mbt]

Once upon a time I visited the MIT campus in the summer, I could hear someone blasting music through a window dorm room that I really liked. At the time I couldn't figure out what kind of music it was, I couldn't even describe it. It was a mix between techno, sci-fi, hip hop, punk, and just sounded very chill. I went through a lot of online radio stations at the time trying to find something similar but never could. This reminded me of that summer, thanks for sharing!

[entropie]

Any direct links to the stations? I would like to save it in my mp3 playlist directory

[NightrideFM]

https://stream.rekt.network/<station_name>.mp3

station_name = rekt | rektory | nightride | chillsynth | datawave | spacesynth | darksynth | horrorsynth | ebsm

[rychco]

I wasn’t aware of rekt.network but NightrideFM has been my daily music choice for a few months now. Love the site

[NightrideFM]

thats awesome! glad you're enjoying it

[Mistletoe]

Oh I love this, thank you.

[jcmontx]

Wow, that's something you don't see everyday!

(an use case for SPAs I mean)

[NightrideFM]

Navigation without music interruption!

[geekifier]

Really cool design, the Milkdrop tab is a nice touch! I found some of the stations to be perfect as background tunes while working.

[warkanlock]

Does anyone know if an internet radio station like this exists but is not only restricted to a few genres?

[weedfroglozenge]

I really enjoy Soma.FM which has a wider range of genres. The cult classic is "Groove Salad"

Edit: There's also the free-with-ads, or paid subscription option, of digitally imported (Di.FM)

[joemazerino]

SomaFM takes the cake here. Tags Trip, Groove Salad and Space Station are my personal favourites. I regularly donate.

Fun fact: I found SomaFM through Kali Linux. Of all things!

[RadiozRadioz]

+1 for SomaFM. I also like Radio Paradise: https://radioparadise.com/

[abnercoimbre]

Best one is Radio Garden [0]

[0] https://radio.garden

[teki_one]

Youtube has radio stations too: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=live+radio+stat...

[toofy]

i’ll echo what others have said: soma.fm

[deegles]

For those wondering, the entire top banner is the volume bar. Just drag the volume icon to the left.
