Raise Your Flag (pt. 1)

After figuring out playlists and 800×450 the next obvious step is "good" old table layout with six cells for 384×216 iframes  representing the favourite music top 6 (as of today) in my Blogger profile at the bottom of all pages:

That was easy, replace any allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" by allow="" referrerpolicy="origin" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin", get rid of any moz… or webkit… cruft, possibly maybe add a title="…", and while at it put an ordinary link between <iframe …> and </iframe>. Thanks to MDN for their iframe-spell book. The next exercise in a planned Raise Your Flag (pt. 2) for favourite books will be harder, it could require hot linking of stolen cover art, maybe from enwiki, claiming "fair use" for "educational purposes".

About the title link for Raise Your Flag (pt. 1) inspired by Björk's Declare Independence, it's about an old roll your own scenario project for Freeciv 2.3, later replaced by roll your own nation (stealing the nice Aleut flag), arriving at roll your own ruleset for Freeciv 2.4…2.6. As shipped Freeciv has no nation group sisters, just flip core (about 60 nations with translations) to all (about 600 nations), then pick the classic group to find the amazones, or the imaginary group to find the hackers.

Industrial music

It's not that I don't get industrial at all, in fact I loved Steh auf Berlin (1981), and it's still brilliant. Ignore the copyvio for a moment, download (incl. share a.k.a. embed) isn't illegal, only upload is verboten (cf. #SaveYourInternet), and unavailable on YouTube is as clear as it gets for music:

Berlin am Nullpunkt from Wolfgang Lange on Vimeo.

Skipping Grünes Winkelkanu as possibly mavbe only me, time travel, 27y fast forward, the next master-piece was a recent blitz-promotion from unknown to top ten ever:

OTOH I'm still lost with some of the Fifty Shades of Clickbait:

Meanwhile I almost like it, but two other remixes still beat me. Of course this won't stop me to juggle NPOV, OR, IAR, and other balls (excl. one too dangerous CRYSTALBALL) until the result is exactly as eclectic as it should be.

Reviving this dead blog was possibly maybe a bad idea, but I'm still terrified to get a Twitter account to replace G+ in April, maybe Blogger is goodbad enough. At least it still works, and apart from Gmail I'm not aware of any other still working Google product. #GirlsGotGroove could be an argument for Twitter, "registering" hashtags is about as much fun as playing with WikiData.

The old websites are now all gone, R.I.P.: 2004, 2010, 2012. For the required legalese I trusted that "click on banner + click on imprint" covered your privacy also for this blog, i.e., there is no such thing as privacy on Google products, and if you allow third party cookies SoundCloud.com (example) will track you on any page with an SC iframe (=technical term for an embedded object, ignoring images + applets.)

SC politely asked to put that info into any affected privacy policy, so consider it done here for this blog until I get a static blogger page for some remotely legal legalese. I still don't do analytics or monetisation or cookies, not here, not on YouTube, nowhere, period. BTW, get an AdBlock, and disallow JavaScript on all sites complaining about it, c.f. chrome://settings/content/javascript.

DynDNS killed xyzzy.webhop.info some years ago, IIRC it was a redirect to my Google Apps account. Meanwhile Google also killed the target, good riddance.

DynDNS also killed xn--80akhbyknj4f.boldlygoingnowhere.org and xn--xyzzy.boldlygoingnowhere.org belonging to my i18n-fun pages here. That's sad, but the fun factor was possibly maybe limited to some folks I (virtually) met in IETF WGs. All is well if it ends well, SPF is a proper RFC now, the technically dubious (or ethically too ambitious) Sender-ID is dead, and I even produced a silly RFC to balance the IAB appeal.

I know it when I see it

Playlist I know it when I see it, how dare you, YouTube, censoring Björk is, broadly construed, blasphemous:

---

Playlist Viral Videos, some kind of I love it not limited to music or heroines:

---

Experimental playlist Extreme Uplifting, omitting Perfect as not enough noise:

---

AOB: My subscriptions are public at the moment, with Semper Video as oldest, oddly I never subscribed to Semper Censeo. Update: The hardwired 425×344 looks like shit on my VAIO, width="96%" failed miserably, how about 800×450, mobile untested?

Catch you later… 💩

Whatever this playlist is, it is no buzz or music for G+, and has a label here.  YouTube's "share on blogger" feature is nice.

Updated one month later, the 99 Luftballons are now only at 101, YouTube rejoices in no further Blackery playlists on my channel, and why did I post the same playlist twice here? The point should be Get your song out of my head (quoting Let Me Be), before I try a Burn the Witch. Five days with Third Eye👁👁👁 in a loop were a seriously bad idea: Kids, don't try this at home.

The banners are also available in a shared photo album with the hilarious Google search result (left side) in a readable size. The utter dubious licence is for the right side, I'd still say that this is PD-ineligible (no sweat), but IANAL.
