Radiofreefedi.net is a super cool internet radio with a couple stations that plays music from fediverse artists, along with a "words" station that plays non-music stuff like podcasts or other kinds of spoken programming

I've really enjoyed it and only learned about it cause someone here on lemmy mentioned it in passing, I thought I'd share so other folks know about it as well :)

Awesome project; super easy to set up the streams in VLC for anyone curious about that.

I didn't know you could use VLC for internet radio! Nifty ☺️

Fun fact: that was the original idea behind VLC! You could connect to video (and audio) streams. Hence, "VideoLAN."

Huh, that makes sense. Someday I need to sit down and learn all the shit vlc let's you do. Some of it seems like it'd be helpful to me if I actually knew how to use it 😅

I had a setup with a Raspberry Pi where I could say a command to a Google speaker to view my front door camera, which would turn my living room TV on, switch to the Pi, load VLC, and stream the camera via it's built in MPEG server. It was a pretty shaky Rube Goldberg-esque system triggering a bunch of stuff using IFTTT.
