That’s a very entertaining talk about mining and analyzing radio station playlists: https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-radiomining-playlist-scraping-und-analyse It’s in German, not sure how good the English translation or subtitles are.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That’s from a radio / CD-player thingy that someone in my family gave me so that I can try to repair it. (Indeed, some capacitors have blown up. But if that doesn’t fix it, I don’t know what to do. 😅)

There’s nothing on the other side. This really is just a block of metal that acts as a weight.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s satisfying. :-) Not all my clocks are radio-controlled, though.

I’ve got a digital alarm clock from the Netherlands (no idea where I got this) and it always runs an hour late. No clue. I put it on a shelf in the workshop where it causes the least amount of confusion.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de how do you set your clock to use a specific time signal radio station? I have one wall clock in my office, it works great, but no way to set that.

DCF77, our time signal radio station, is a great public service. I really love that. It’s just a signal that anybody can pick up, no subscription, no tracking, no nothing. Much like GPS/GNSS. 💚

This makes me happy. Radio controlled clocks perfectly in sync. ⌚🥳

Ça y est, je suis officiellement un vieux daron : quand ma fille de 3 ans m’a demandé de la musique à la radio de la voiture, la seule station qui avait quelque chose d’écoutable était Nostalgie. 😫

looks like CVE-2025-27840 can’t be triggered remotely by Bluetooth, radio signals, or over the Internet, meaning they do not pose a risk of remote compromise of ESP32 devices

Einfach, weil es so schön ist.

@arne@uplegger.eu Hahaha, vor Dekaden hab ich auch mal einen „XML“-„Parser“ selbst gebaut. Der wollte dann pro Zeile entweder einen öffnenden oder einen schließenden Tag oder aber einen Wert haben. :-O Ganz übel, aber für den damaligen Anwendungsfall hat’s gelangt. War halt bloß kein XML. :-D

Was konkret war dann das Problem von dem zu sauberen XML in Deinem Fall? Und schön zu hören, dass Du das Gerät vor dem vorzeitigen Elektroschrotttod bewahrt bekommen hast. :-)

Zum Abschluss noch ne ganz doofe Frage, ganz offensichtlich hab ich von Radios keinen blassen Schimmer. Wieso muss denn das Ding überhaupt mit XML rumfuhrwerken? O_o

LECK MICH FETT!
Das Küchenradio (Sagem - My Dual Radio 700) gibt wieder Töne von sich! Der XML-Parser von dem Ding ist sowas von hinüber. Die “Fertiglösungen” YCast und YTuner haben ein zu ordentliches XML erstellt. Per Trial and Error habe ich dann die Formatierung gefunden, die die olle Kiste braucht. 🥳

thinking about l-systems again, maybe a morse beacon #coding #sound #radio #halfbaked

Tolle Wurst: vTuner hat den Support für das Küchenradio (Sagem - My Dual Radio 700) eingestellt. Die Subdomain sagem.vtuner.com ist nicht mehr.
Mal gucken, wie ich mit einer DNS-Umleitung und YCast wieder Klang in die Kiste kriege. Es wäre schade um das Gerät, welches einwandfrei funktioniert.

On dit à la radio que Morançais veut réduire le budget de la culture. Mais bien sûr, cela évitera aux gens d’avoir des idées et de penser en-dehors du cadre imposé par Bolloré et autres partisans d’extrême droite. Empêcher les gens de se cultiver, empêcher les artistes de créer… Dystopie!

I’ve been testing our new APRS digipeater, that allows us to report our geographic position via radio.

i’ve been a ham since i was a kid, but i haven’t been too active lately. i’ve seen some interesting signed packet radio schemes, but nothing I’ve taken a close look at. i’ve been doing a bunch of research into mesh networking protocols over the years and now that i’m approaching something worth writing i may have to get back into the hardware side of things

i’m excited about how the new system is coming together. i’ve chosen bento as the system admin runtime. the centralized model simplifies some things and encourages people to setup their own (if small) binary caches. the whole thing is federated in the end and i think we can find some ways to make an HA bento. co-ordinator nodes i think are important for making a stable network. a spare laptop can easily buffer some power, run a secondary radio, and have an ethernet hookup. even a phone can make a nice one.

Radio advertisements slapping away sustained thought on the coffeeshop stereo. I’d like a real-life ad blocker.
