Hacker Beach

@hackerbeach Will make sure i'll stop by. A decade after Phu Quoc.

A new year, a new beach. See you on Koh Lanta in January: hackerbeach.org/episode-14-sco…

Take a break from winter this coming January, and join us on the magical island of Madagascar, for a few weeks of hacking, exchanging knowledge, and socializing: hackerbeach.org/hacker-beach-1… #hackerbeach

Preannouncement: Hacker Beach 2024 is a go! As always, we're gathering on a tropical beach during the month of January. This time, we'll meet on Madagascar! Follow this account (or on fedi) and/or request an invitation to our XMPP room, if you're interested in dropping by.

@playingwithsid Because we just did Malaysia did year.

@hackerbeach Why not Cambodia?

Time-appropriate greetings, everyone! The sun just set on the beach again, but there are still many sunsets to enjoy this January! The gathering is slowly growing, there are private rooms for less than $20, and there's food f… @hackerbeach/109664769316449342" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kosmos.social/@hackerbeach/1…

@_ffaabb @malaysia Definitely none of us who did that, or would do that! We sometimes actually help with cleaning a beach instead of leaving trash behind. Sad picture either way. There are always morons in any given place.

@hackerbeach The vibe on Langkawi Tengah beach this morning 😭 why people so stupid ? @malaysia I believed many people come here to see turtles and marine life? How long do you want it to last? Find people who did that and ban plastic #plasticpollution

@xMartin @bkero Cheers!

@bkero Done. Have fun!

@xMartin Heya, I noticed backend.grouptabs.net cert expired on jan2. Hackerbeach would like to use it. :)

Wondering what kinds of projects and knowledge people will bring to Hacker Beach this coming January? Here are a few choice examples that we know of already: #xmpp #infosec #devops #foss #linux #cooperatives #fediverse #ligh… @hackerbeach/109550727065604926" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kosmos.social/@hackerbeach/1…

Casual reminder that you can hang out with your laptop on Langkawi anytime this coming January, and there will be other opensource hackers around, who you can meet, and exchange ideas, knowledge, and experience with. Looking forward to seeing you there! en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Langkawi
