Twelve images across seven articles were hotlinked from servers that no longer exist, so they were broken on the live sites. Checked every one against the Wayback Machine, patiently enough to trust the answer: an earlier pass appeared to find seven, but that was a test treating an empty response as a hit. One survives. visualberlin.org's p1010789, a 2011 capture of the projector set up against Mannheim city hall during the Flimmerkiste wildscreening, is now a local asset in flux.vision/content/library/ and the reference points at it. The other eleven were never captured. Both dead domains are archived, so this is not a gap in coverage: of 8,438 visualberlin.org URLs and 204 for mutanten.org, only that one image is there. mutanten.org's archive does not reach back to its fp-content era at all, which is where the Logan's Run stills lived. So lostimages.py learns about dead hosts, which it matches rather than fetching, because a build must not depend on the network and a dead host is a fact about the world rather than about the document. The references stay in the Markdown, as the existing ones do: the reference records what was there. It matters more on the capsule than on the web. A browser shows a broken image as a silent gap, but gemtext has no inline images, so every one becomes a visible => link line and the page would advertise a dead host as somewhere worth going. smolnet.py therefore strips them too, reading the same host list, since it works on the Markdown source and never sees Pelican's output. lostimages.py moves to the repo-level plugins/ directory beside smolnet. It was shared already, with flux.vision reaching into tobias.raayoni-last.com for it, and randogoth.com now needs it too; a shared plugin living inside one site was the wrong shape for three consumers. Left alone deliberately: the two mutanten.org links in mutantenkino-website.md. That entry is about having built the site, so the link is its subject rather than decoration, and a dead link does not make the record wrong. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Title: Flimmerkiste #2 Wildscreening Date: 2009-05-29 13:36 Category: blog Author: Kiritan Flux Slug: flimmerkiste-2-wildscreening
Yesterday I had the honor to participate at the second edition of 'Flimmerkiste', the regional VJ gathering in Mannheim. The meeting place was the lounge area of Zeitraumexit close to the industrial harbor of Mannheim, the same location where last year's B-Seite VJ festival took place. The round of attendees was small but select: Pixelschubser, VJ Tenner, TimVis and myself among a small group of curious young people from the national theater.
The formal part of the meeting was rather short - i felt a bit flattered, receiving a free beer to celebrate the '5 years of flux' anniversary - so I hoped we would quickly continue to the next point: AVIT Networking. We talked a bit about the planned issues and read through some text but eventually Pixelschubser decided to write down some info text about B-Seite at some point later.
Finally we proceeded to the most fun part of the evening: guerilla wildscreening in downtown Mannheim. Armed with a gasoline electricity generator, a nice 5000 ANSI projector, manfrotto tripod, V4 and laptops we walked through the Kreuzberg'ish 'Jungbusch' area towards the center marketplace where the huge city hall is located.
Equipment was set up quickly and we had a lot of fun, doing spontaneous mapping masks, jamming along, spreading Flimmerkiste flyers to curious bystanders. The cops came twice, but rather because of curiosity than maintenance of public order. Timing was perfect, because when the VJs really started to get groovy, the illumination of the city hall got switched off and we had the whole building just for ourselves.

The evening in Mannheim was a lot of inspiration and fun and I was glad to be part of it. Frankly, the VJs around here seem a lot more spontaneous and kicking than most of us guys in Berlin - since we planned such a guerilla projection night forever without ever doing it. ;)
