@dmandl Dave check your Signal, thanks.

2/ VOA, even tho it's a state-run mouthpiece and of seemingly limited relevance in today's world, what's happening to it now is a travesty, just like all the other travesties going on now.

Thanks for the feedback & I think you'll enjoy the rest of what's there.

@Thinking4All
1/ Listened to part I twice? Thanks for taking the time to do that, I'll admit it's a somewhat obscure subject few folks actually care much about. ("less refined" - hmmm. In the sense of . . .? ).

II'll put a correction in the show notes about the speed of sound ha ha ha didn't remember I said that.

Part III? Are you kidding? God no. Two hours worth wasn't enough? The rest of the shows are mainly music programs & easier to listen to.

During the three-year period from 1989 to '91, solar conditions and sunspot cycles were at an optimal point for HF (shortwave) radio propagation.

I was well-situated to take advantage of this, and I discuss shortwave radio and international broadcasting and present sounds from shortwave in my first appearance on @WFMU as a guest of TKF's show in August of '89. You can now hear that show online (it's part 1 of a 2-part series): https://wfmu.org/playlists/HL #radio #WFMU #shortwave #psychedelic

Incredibly, I found a box of cassettes with my @WFMU shows from the '90s that I long ago had given up for lost.

The first few shows are now available, with more to come as I'm able to clean up, convert and post them: https://wfmu.org/playlists/HL

@lauren And AT&T had a patent on toll-free numbers: https://talkroute.com/800-number-history-and-why-we-want-them/. They even once sued MCI, then a competitor for long distance service, for infringing that patent (https://www.baltimoresun.com/1993/03/10/mci-asserts-at-is-using-rate-threats-to-try-to-retain-800-number-customers/).

Your need to slaughter a sacred cow, to be a contrarian, diminishes you. The band's genius has no need to prove itself to you. It's proven itself to millions.

#Signal for iOS v7.63 release notes:

* In ancient times, quotes were printed on scrolls and nothing would happen if you tapped on the parchment. In modern times, you can tap on a quoted reply and now the original message is highlighted after it scrolls.
* We also updated the “Note to Self” chat so that it’s always included in the list of available recipients without having to search for your own name. Self-discovery can be hard, but finding yourself in Signal has never been easier.

@dmandl
Interesting - it's unlike most of your other shots.

These are the first three of some forty more shows to be posted.

A mysterious box of cassettes is found buried in a basement. No one knows what they contain. After careful listening it is determined that they're a series of now-forgotten but once wildly popular late-night radio shows from the pre-internet '90s, long thought to have been lost to the ages.

Yes, "The True Hallucinations Tapes with Rusty Hoover" are here, available only at https://wfmu.org/playlists/HL

When you see the term "military-grade encryption," walk away. It's meaningless. (To put it another way, "military-grade encryption" is not particularly strong or robust encryption.) It means whoever is touting it doesn't know they're talking about.

🚨 *Attention!* We were made aware of a fake “KeePassXC Password Manager Pro” repository on GitHub that links to unverified external binary downloads.
- There is NO Pro version of KeePassXC!
- You get all the “Pro” features with the regular version.
Please download KeePassXC only from trusted distribution channels linked on https://keepassxc.org/ !

@david_chisnall
It may not be necessary anyway. Telemessege has been exposed & lost credibility and may go out of business. Also the archiving it does can and inevitably will be done securely, the right way, by someone else.

Here's a question: Can #Signal build into itself a way to prohibit ANY communication or interaction with the completely nonsecure clone of itself known as "TM SGNL," given that the latter is built from the same code and uses the same protocols? Because it sure seems to me that an impenetrable wall needs to be erected between the 2. #encryption #e2ee

The most recent installment of @dmandl's #WFMU show "It's Complicated" (featuring "prog and prog-adjacent" music) is worth listening to for the Follakzoid track alone (but the whole show is also great - just 5 tracks). https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/152012
