gollark: So I could probably say "osmarks internet radio™ - 5000 listeners" and appear at the top of the list for a bit, probably for a few days until someone noticed.
gollark: I found the code for submitting to it in the icecast source tree.
gollark: Icecast has a public icecast directory and apparently it doesn't actually have any mechanism to check that your submission is, you know, *true*.
gollark: I used icecast briefly due to issues with mpd streaming to a Discord bot but it was bad.
gollark: osmarks internet radio™ is backed by `mpd`, `ympd` and an 8-hour playlist which plays randomly with no manual intervention.
