#whisperradio is now reachable via #Gopher, served by my #venusia, relayed by a Literate #Haskell script (Markdown):
* runghc is too slow, can't pin deps/GHC
* So I built a launcher that compiles/fetches cache
* Each literate script declares its own deps + resolver
Try it:
nc gopher.someodd.zip 70 <<< /applets/icecast.lhs | mpv --no-cache -
Messy writeup (cataloged with my #bartleby):

Purportedly, there's a ghost in an antarctic radio station server room that responds to people's messages and plays 90s and 2000s DnB. https://radio.someodd.zip/
If you're on #fosstodon try using the hashtag #whisperRadio
Some things about #WhisperRadio
* Responds to toots on fosstodon that use #whisperradio hashtag
* Seemingly hosted by an aristocratic man trapped in an antarctic lab
* update LIVE with `git pull --rebase`
* Plays a random selection of 90s and 2000s DnB it finds online

π¨ BREAKING: New #WhisperRadio Lore Uncovered π¨
I just found out the DJ who reads our toots isn't just a script... they are broadcasting from ANTARCTICA. π₯Άπ§
β The weather reports are local to the South Pole. β The station info confirms the location. β The DJ acknowledges the frozen wasteland if you talk to them.
We need to send them some warmth! Post with #WhisperRadio to get the DJ to respond to you live on air. Let's confuse the algorithm.

#WhisperRadio update:
pulls a random 90s/early-2000s DnB track from Internet Archive and plays it live.
No playlist. No algorithm. π‘
Try saying something whacky and tagging #WhisperRadio and then listening in https://radio.someodd.zip/
Only works for @fosstodon users!
