    Someone mentioned #BandcampFriday yesterday. My #navidrome server just got another album.

    It&#39;s #WaterfallWednesday and this one came to my mind. You might see a nice waterfall. I spent 3h there. Really! In hindsight I didn&#39;t know where all the time went but I enjoyed seeing the #waterfall from all kinds of angles and shutter speeds. 3h very well invested livetime. #photography #landscapephotography #bayern

    I wanted to post mountain photos more regularly again! So here&#39;s one trail from last year where I started really early to avoid the heat. It was a hike that I did alone and met just like ... 2 or 3 people. Oh and I was glad to have a water filter with me! I spotted a spring on my way up and - knowing that I&#39;d come pack to it later - I didn&#39;t have to use my water sparingly. Enjoy! #hiking #mountainMonday #alps #alpen #nature #wandern

    #FotoVorschlag &#39;Gegenlicht&#39; I drove to this spot a couple of times during the year. That day, I didn&#39;t know what to expect either but I was just right in time to have the sun rising over the #mountains and the #fog on the lake. Just 15 min later, the fog had vanished - and I was just glad for the experience I made. #photography

    RE: https://sunny.garden/@Hester/116877729432679570 When starting on #Mastodon / #Fediverse, the absence of an algorithm is a pain. As soon as one gets the beauty of browsing through one&#39;s network and hashtags and likes and boosts, this pain is gone.. Like suddenly I browse to Hester who is crosstitching and living together with a cat.. I&#39;m pretty sure, no algorithm would have brought me there, but browsing through that timeline brought some joy in the morning. If you want to answer,...

    For #FootpathFriday I wanted to remind me about a really cool hike we did a while ago. Enjoy #photography #mountains #wandern #hiking

    Something that I wrote a year ago: &quot;But – wasn’t the word-wide-web designed to be a … web? Where links connect sites &amp; information? I’m sad to say: The big players have succeeded to destroy a part of this ideology by creating walled platforms. And we happlily followed. 😭&quot; https://www.locked.de/mastodon-is-how-the-web-should-be-open/ I&#39;m happy that I got here for the freedom.

    #mountainMonday ! Unfortunately not a recent photo but one that&#39;s quite a while ago. Before my wife had 2 knee issues. But maybe we can go there again soon. As you can see, the landscape there is A BLAST! I totally love the area #mountains #hiking #photography #karwendel #nature #naturparkkarwendel

    &#39;Alte oder besondere Bäume&#39; #FotoVorschlag &#39;old or special Trees&#39; This #tree was really special to me. I saw it on a winter / snowshoe hike. I was just at the right place at the right time so that the it was backlit and just so impressive. One of the best #winter moments I experienced. Enjoy #photography #wandern #treesofmastodon

    Neulich hat mir jemand gesagt, wir hätten kein #Grundwasser - / Trinkwasserproblem in #Bayern. Daher mal beim @lfu.bayern.de nachgeschaut, um eine Meinung auch mit Fakten zu prüfen: - kein Niedrigwasser: 55 (28%) - niedrig: 39 (20%) - sehr niedrig: 98 (49%) - neuer Niedrigstwert: 6 (3%) Bei 28% der Messstellen stimmt das ja immerhin - noch. Ob man das jetzt als &quot;Problem&quot; klassifiziert, bleibt natürlich jedem/r selber überlassen. https://www.nid.bayern.de/grundwasser/tiefere...

    our washing mashine has no wifi, no bluetooh, no app, no internet - I find that pretty smart to be honest

    Ahh #cycling workout completed. Ways better than jogging to the train 😉

    The water level at the reservoir to which I&amp;#39;m usually cycling (also in the evening) is now so low that fish have to be rescued from isolated &amp;quot;pockets&amp;quot; of water. The water level is now 5m below summer-average ... the last time I&amp;#39;ve seen that was when the level was lowered by intent for some improvements &amp;amp; repair. Now it&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;simply&amp;quot; a lack of rain ... We need some rain very soon ... https://www.merkur.de/lokales/bad-toelz/lenggri...

    Just another place we visited in the Fränkische Schweiz. We just walked along a little stream and suddenly passed through this rock-gate with all the lush green on either side. Just beautiful. https://www.franzgraf.de/blog/2026/caves-and-meadows-day-1-in-the-frankische-schweiz/ #wandern #hiking #fränkischeSchweitz #franken #bayern #photography #nature

    During our vacation recently, I tried to practice more foreground and composition for .. not for documenting our vacation, but to capture more a feeling that I had at this moment. This is one of the photos. Here it felt &amp;quot;better&amp;quot; to me to set the focus to the red poppies because at this moment, they just drew more attention as we were walking towards the gate. More of this day: https://www.franzgraf.de/blog/2026/castles-rocks-and-forests-and-more-palaces-day-2-in-the-frankisch...

    If you see em-dashes in my texts, you can be sure that I wrote that part of the text on my computer where I know that ALT+0151 makes an emdash. Whilst on mobile I just don&amp;#39;t find a way to do it ... 🤔 I now have disclosed my em-dash secret

    Yesterday I scrolled through the accounts I&#39;m following and was a bit surprised about the amount of accounts that haven&#39;t been active since 2024 :-(

    Hate “The Algorithm?” RSS Is One of the Tools You’ve Been Looking For RSS is one of the best examples we have of the open web, where we can design and customize how we experience the internet, not the other way around. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/hate-algorithm-rss-one-tools-youve-been-looking

    We bought an SUV today. SUV stands for shopping utility vehicle, right? At least for errands, the gas price isn&amp;#39;t a matter any more. And we have some physical exercise as well 💪

    RE: https://climatejustice.social/@ketan/116543143569596108 OH WOW &amp;quot;Last year China installed more than half of all wind and solar added globally. In May alone, it added enough renewable energy to power Poland, installing solar panels at a rate of roughly 100 every second.&amp;quot;

    &amp;#39;Touri-Hotspot&amp;#39; #FotoVorschlag Here you can see two hot spots: The mountain from where the photo is taken is a very well known destination for quick hikes as it&amp;#39;s well reachable from munich. And also the lake down there: the far left-shore is also a very well known destination for recreation, bathing etc. In Summer, sometimes the road along the shore is closed as there are too many cars parking there. And well, I try to avoid peak times... #mountains #hiking #bayern

    Our #silentsunday was spent on a mountain trail half an hour from our home. About 400-500m elevation along such a trail. And we didn&amp;#39;t meet anybody. Maybe because the location is too unspectacular: no great summit views, no summit at all, nothing to buy drinks or food - just a trail through patches of sun and shade with quite a few flowers along the trail. Later, we cycled to a restaurant to meet friends... #hiking #wandern #mountains #bayern #outdoors #karwendel

    Just listened to the #bergzeit #podcast about #mountainbiking. And I can identify myself as &amp;quot;uphill oriented cross country biker&amp;quot;. https://pca.st/episode/140532e1-5dc4-4d81-91b2-b4af157bfea1

    #Alpenverein: Saubere #Berge Bereits seit 1970 gibt es die Aktion „Saubere Berge“ im Alpenverein. Die Schilder sind allgemein von Ausgangspunkten und Alpenvereinshütten bekannt. Und viel hat sich seit Beginn der Initiative verändert – und verbessert: die sachgerechte Entsorgung von Abfällen ist für die meisten – am Berg und auch im Tal – eine Selbstverständlichkeit. https://www.alpenverein.at/portal/natur-umwelt/saubere-berge/index.php #naturschutz

    #meshcore sounds pretty cool. I just see no repeaters in the mountains here 😕 Should I buy a device just for fun and testing? 🤔 There seem to be no repeaters between #badtölz and #inntal / #innsbruck. I doubt it will this is helpful in the #karwendel

    &amp;#39;Einsamkeit&amp;#39; #FotoVorschlag &amp;#39;loneliness&amp;#39; I took this photo end of dezember last year on a foggy day at a nearby hill when this person came along. I hardly ever include people in my shots but I somehow feel a loneliness when I see this photo. So I thought it might be a good fit.

    A friend recently wrote me on Instagram that she can understand me, leaving the platform. Her wishes / pain points: * reduce my screentime * get out of doomscrolling * Not having to check every post whether it&#39;s AI generated (= Authenticity) * funny cat videos * book recommendations Quite Fediverse ... what she doesn&#39;t mention: privacy, big tech, federation And then I thought about the websites promoting the fediverse. Well - it&#39;s just adressing different target groups.

    Moving from one social media platform to another shows how unimportant you are. This just came to my mind today when I posted one photo in my Instagram story where usually about 50-80 ppl watch it. And after repeatedly telling that I&amp;#39;m moving away, almost noone followed. It was the same when I left Twitter. Having followers doesn&amp;#39;t mean having their loyalty. Even though it would just be one app install.. #socialMedia
