Slashdot Live @ LinuxWorld

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the aint-that-cool dept.

We're now streaming audio live from the LinuxWorld show floor. You can get it at mp3-2.thesync.com:8000 (and thanks to TheSync for making this happen). Hopefully we'll have video coming out soon. You can now see our fancy dandy live webcam.

  1. Re:Uhm. I AM the latex FreeBSD girlie. ;) by IanCarlson · · Score: 3

    You see guys, *this* is why the penguin logo was a bad idea. You can't dress up a girlie like an over-stuffed, flightless bird and expect her to look sexy.

    I guess the *BSD camp really is superior.

    So... if you ever want someone to get you up to date with the streamer and the server - you have my account. ;-)

    How would proper /. radio interest you?

  3. UGH, slashdot effect: slow. by adraken · · Score: 3

    Must... put... more... servers... that's kinda what's nice about icecast/shoutcast, you can have one streaming location that streams to several servers that can handle a lot of bandwidth.

  4. Ugh. server full by Zaffle · · Score: 3
    HTTP/1.0 504 Server Full Server: icecast/1.3.0

    Right, now, all those with cable modems who are currently hearing it, start streaming it from your computer too. Post your ip here. *grin*. All others, bugger off so I can get on.

    Seriously though, mp3-2.thesync.com resolves to only one IP address. Surely slashdot of all people would have figured we are gonna need more than one server. Never-the-less, TheSync set it up, so slashdot probably didn't have much control over it. Its a great idea, I just wish I could listen to it too! :)

    I use to have a funny sig, but slash cut it off, and I forgot what the punchline was.
  5. Upside on Slashdot's streaming media kludge by wp14 · · Score: 3

    Here's an article about /. and Andover.Net that you won't see passing the the submitter's desk. Upside takes an inside look at Slashdot and Andover net. The article is called Andover.Net's Media Kludge.

  6. sorry for the delay... by jeff.covey · · Score: 3

    we got it all going, then icecast flaked for a what seemed to be a very long and very nerve-racking time. sorry about that; it's all better now. of course, if you're listening now, you're not hearing anything because we're not saying anything. :) just keep it running in the background, and crank it up when the next show starts. in the meantime, you can bring up the webcam and watch me typing this to you. :-)
