  1. Did you know that in Thun 🇨🇭 you can ride your bike to a surf session in the Alps? 🚴‍♂️🏄‍♂️⛰️

    Just hop on your bike, follow cycling paths, and arrive at a standing river wave in the heart of the city and surrounded by mountains.

  2. I enjoyed watching these Olympic #surfing recordings from Paris 2024 for the first time, which feature the wild waves of Teahupo'o in Tahiti, French Polynesia.

    Everything is crazy: the waves, those jet skis rescuing the surfers in white water, the surfers themselves...

  3. There's one thing beginners always get wrong: #Incognito mode doesn't protect you from your #ISP or the web server. It simply ensures that no data, such as your #browser #history, is left on your device.

    If you really want to browse the web anonymously, you have to use #TOR.

  6. There will be a high-pitched, continuous hum on NSW ocean beaches from shark surveillance drones

    * "Shark-spotting drones will provide year-round coverage at about 70 beaches along the NSW coast as part of an expanded surveillance program announced after a Sydney mother was attacked by a suspected white shark."

    "The state government on Sunday announced it would allocate an additional $34 million for shark-spotting drones, providing coverage at every ocean beach from Palm Beach to Cronulla 365 days of the year."

    "About 70 beaches across the state will have year-round drone surveillance, with all Sydney beaches covered from July 1.It will also trial artificial intelligence to improve shark detection." >>

  20. #Mozilla, why are you playing along with Google's devious game and #betraying the #principles of #free #software?

    source: omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/06/mozill…

    Nonetheless, the appearance of ‘device attestation’ in Firefox’s mobile codebase has raised eyebrows in the #FOSS #community, including from #mobile projects based on the #Android Open Source Project (AOSP) codebase, like #LineageOS and #GrapheneOS, which omit Play services.

    Given that Firefox’s entire USP on Android is that it’s an open-source, privacy-respecting alternative for those avoiding #Google (and open-source, privacy-conscious users often run non-stock Android) it’s a move that, short of further explanation, rubs some the wrong way.

  21. For the record, here are the other impulsive, spontaneous, unhinged research questions I came up with in 10 minutes of rapid brainstorming, last Wednesday.

    • How can decentralised, peer-to-peer, and encrypted communication protocols favour the development of autonomous and localised yet federated communities?
    • What concrete communication technologies can already be adopted to prepare for a post-climate collapse world?
    • How can practices of networking and collaboration benefit the re-population of rural areas?
    • What role did the neoliberal progression of tech oligopolies play in the de-politicisation of technology?
    • How can community-maintained infrastructure serve the needs of all the World’s population?

  23. Research question prophecy

    I am far from actually beginning my research for the thesis I will be writing at @xpub next year. Still, together with my class we are already exploring interests, ideas, and PMOMMs. A pattern should be emerging out of them, outlining our research focus.

    Yesterday, as I was chatting with @barbs, I somehow came up with a research question that feels particularly close to me. I am publishing it here for posterity, because I am super curious about how this will evolve over time.

    What is the relationship between in-person networking and Web surfing in accruing social capital?

    I want to investigate how life crossovers relate with clicking links and surfing the Web. Then, how do the two contribute to growing a person’s (or a community’s) social capital, in the interpretation of the word specific to Bourdieu’s philosophy?

  26. El Salvador for First-Time Surfers: A Guide to Surf City and the Wild East

    For decades, surfers chasing Central America’s best waves flew straight past El Salvador on their way to Costa Rica. That’s over. With year-round swells and long right-hand waves, El Salvador may be the smallest country in Central America, but it packs a punch, and the secret is well and truly out. If you’re booking your […]
