About what this is for
A directory tells you what exists. This tells you what is
left.
- The checker
- Every entry is fetched on a timer. Still there means the address
answered. Gone means it did not, several times running, and the date
shown is the first failure of that run rather than the day somebody
noticed. An entry that dies keeps its row.
- What gets kept
- Net radio stations, small web pages, places art still gets posted,
and lain or wired artifacts. Things run by people rather than
companies.
- The players
- Station rows carry a play button and a .pls file for a real player.
The audio comes from the station's own server and nothing loads until
you press play. This site hosts no audio, partly on principle and
partly because a free host is not allowed to.
- What is stored about you
- Nothing that identifies you. A submission keeps a salted hash of your
address to slow floods down, and that cannot be turned back into an
address. No cookies, no analytics, nothing from a third party.
- A note on dates
- Some sites ask the Wayback Machine not to keep them, so their history
is blank even when they existed for years. Where that happens the
date here is when this archive first found them gone, which is the
only date anybody can honestly give.
