Hi HN,

OP here. If you wanna know more about the code involved in this project, I'm happy to answer your questions!

WASM-STREAM is really just a quick hack for rc3, the remote chaos communication congress happening right now.

But so far, I found it quite entertaining to listen to the audio stream.

Edit: Provisioned an ogg-vorbis stream now too. So now the blog should play the stream in Chrome-based browsers too.

Hi! I like what you're doing here. I'm the author of a tool that utilises an opus encoder and decoder in the browser to emulate something like modern live streaming. I followed similar ideas to yours but ultimately found that the icecast route was a little bit limited. If you're interested, the code is here: https://github.com/gaxge and is in the process of being refactored/ updated. You can play around with the original prototype here: https://low.show/noisecrypt/app. I use the streaming tools mainly for doing stuff with jamming in combination with randomness but they can be repurposed for normal linear real-time streaming.

I'm also based in Germany, and you're welcome to reach out if you want to talk about this kind of stuff further.

Oh cool! I'll definitely take a look. Thanks!

Damn it, now you guys are all on my website and the ogg-vorbis encoding (a requirement for the stream working in Chrome) crashed and I'm not at home!

Edit: I finally got home and restarted the ogg stream. Will have to find a solution for it to remain up...
