Just curious, but I have an Internet Radio stream streaming pre-programmed
music via a French server.

There is a permanent listener from the USA, which turns out to be Amazon
Inc. 50.16.54.95


Why would they be doing this?




Cheers,


Gareth.

Odd you mention Amazon. I was listening to CD song snippets, and they generally last 29 seconds. However, maybe just for that day, the entire (CD) songs played!!

I think that is an amazon web services "cloud" machine, so it's not
actually someone at Amazon, but someone who is a customer of Amazon.

Maybe they're recording it all. Maybe they are scanning it for something
in particular. For all you know it could be the NSA.

What kind of music streaming app or service gives

listeners, in the first place???





This one.

I've had this stream running for over a couple of years now, and have just
recently moved to a new provider.

The previous provider was in the UK, and I had no permanently attached
listeners such as this.
The new provider actually asked whether I wanted to use the server in
France, or one in Canada, and I chose France as this was closer to home.
And now I have the Amazon leech permanently attached.


And yes, (the man rocks) as Admin for this streaming service, I get to see
the IP addresses of all those logged in and listening.
Which doesn't sit well with me, I must say.

But then this is how it is. You log on to something, and whoever controls
that is going to know your IP.
Use a Proxy Server if that bothers you.




Cheers,


Gareth.

You don't like free speech, do you? Even though, without the freedom
of Usenet, you would not be able to post anywhere on the net. But
nobody ever accused you of having a brain.

I thought you already had me. YOu had the NSA, the CIA, Interpol, even
U.N.C.L.E., and you were bringing me to an international tribunal. For
calling you a dumb**** (truth is the defense). You know who I am,
where I live, what sports teams I favor, and my political leanings. Or
so you pretended.

The funny thing is, I can tell you exactly where you know me from, and
you can acknowledge it, and you still can't figure it out. It just
goes in one ear, through four feet of basalt, and out the other ear.

Ah, OK, a little bit of digging on the IP address makes sense now.
The provider is developing their own streaming platform, which apparently is
going to put all the data in "containers" which can be moved very quickly
around the web (cloud) to maximise efficiency etc. rather than the old
fashioned way of streaming everything from a physical server in France for
example.
It looks like this listener is indeed their own "cloud machine".

Since I have an unlimited bandwidth package, I am not paying for this extra
listener, so don't care. Other packages are pay as you go or limited data,
and this might be an issue there, but they probably don't attach such
packages to the cloud at present.

I would guess this this them beta testing their system as they build it.



Cheers,


Gareth.

Well YOU'RE doing a fine job standing
up to this asshole! It has its tracking
software set up to to alert it whenever
and in whatever newsgroup I post in
or reply to, which of course leads
legitimate and knowledgeable
contributors like you to put me on
ignore or killfile lists.


If something like that took a usenet
dump on you I'd have your back in
a heartbeat, and tell that jerk to bug off!


As far as taking it somewhere else, I
offered to meet N- at a nearby donut
shop but it declined my offer.

You're delusional on that point. Tracking software. Funny stuff, li'l
buddy. You probably actually believe that; after all, you're not too
bright. But what you post on usenet is readily readable by anybody,
and there's nothing you can do about that. The one and only way to
keep me (or anyone else) from seeing your posts, is not to post. If
you're going to stand on a soapbox in public, don't whine if people
stop to laugh at you.

which of course leads legitimate and knowledgeable contributors like
you to put me on ignore or killfile lists.


People killfile you because you're an idiot and an asshole. They used
to just ban you, until you discovered usenet. Grow up and take
responsibility for your own posts, and the fact that people don't like
you because of your posts. Your long history of being banned, blocked,
and booted is nobody's fault but your own.

We? Who, you and your dead hobby horse? I thought you already found
me. The CIA, Interpol, and the NSA were at your beck and call, along
with U.N.C.L.E. and the Justice League of America and Pee Wee Herman.
You had them positively identify me as up to four other random posters
in this newsgroup. The only problem is, that was all a pile of
bull**** that you were feeding yourself.

I have not turned anything off. I did not run any special software or
apply any settings to find your post. You posted it in public, and you
are clearly whining about me. I use no special software or settings to
respond to your crybaby whining by mocking you for being a drooling
cretin with a big suitcase-shaped dent in your skull. I use a crappy
program that is a crappy newsreader, which makes it worlds better than
your gurgle-tard interface. I don't use any sooper-seekrit-squirrel
settings,

You have some very bizarre delusions. And you're such a dumfcuck, you
make the rest of the kids on the shortbus seem like geniuses. How did
you get that suitcase-shaped dent across your frontal lobes?
