2020 Seasons Greetings to one and all!
Since we won’t be planning any X-Mas specials inside or out of noisebridge this year, I give you Flaschen Taschen LIVE “Beta” MMXX
YouTube Stream of ‘ft’ on noisebridge channel (Take 2)
*NOTE(s): Intentionally mostly some noise in the background right now. This URL will change over time, so the stream may be off-line or elsewhere as this evolves. The main channel and updates can be found here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6oE60rGWqFynD34ielQzxA
You can read up on more of what makes the bottles blink here https://www.noisebridge.net/Flaschen_Taschen and thanks to Carl for the demos, and Henner for the OG code.
Here is the behind the scenes of “devil.noise” our recently upgraded Arch Linux box of fun on wheels with a plasma screen in the hackitorium that has been enlisted to run the show while I’m sleeping in:
Look forward to more hacking and coming up with some more holiday themed animations and soundtrack. Currently experimenting with mostly noise (80%) and holiday cheer. Open request for original soundtracks and music to use. Updated, now streaming Creative Commons music.
This is also an extended test of publicly streaming from the space. While there are ongoing privacy and other considerations, this also seems like a reasonable opportunity to test out ways we can do it excellently. The setup is in the “workshop” which is directly behind the big roll up door at the front of the space. There is a chance of unintentionally being on camera if someone was to walk thru the space unawares. NO ONE should be walking thru the space right now all willy nilly, and there is a curtain that can be used to obscure any necessary minimum activities.
I’ll share more details with folks interested in helping maintain this and be monitoring to insure reasonable functionality. If I find it unmaintainable or am unable to reasonably manage unattended I will take the system off-line. Currently hoping to extend this for a continuous 24 hour test, maybe longer.
P.S. Chaos Communication Congress (CCC) is now Remote CHAOS eXperience (rc3) this is our BIG annual pilgrimage to Germany held between Christmas and New Years. I hope to help co-ordinate an assembly and SF regional remote event with possibly an even bigger Flaschen Taschen!
