There's a free internet café at Monbijoustrasse 16. Follow the tram lines of #9 south out of the center and find the Internet Cafe Power Point on your right hand side. The place is just for the unemployed and poverty-stricken, but if you're a penniless traveller, they'll likely let you use one of their machines for half an hour.[EDIT. Summer 2017. NEVER mention you are a traveller, hitchhiker or whatsoever. The moment we told the guy of the Power Point that we were hitchhikers he considered us to be tourists and mentioned that we were just pretending to be poor. AVOID these words by all means and ALWAYS say you live in Bern for long-term]
Alternatively, there also is a free, publicly useable computer with internet at the [http://www.denk-mal.info Autonomous School] at Lagerweg 12. From the train station, go downhill towards and past the well-known alternative culture center Reitschule, cross the bridge, turn left and turn right.
Nr.1 is to go the the "Flickerei" Store, they fix all kind of Stuff for a verry low Price. The Opening Times vary and can be checked on https://www.flickerei.ch. The Store is located in the Cellar, a bit hidden but if you take the alley at Laupenstrasse 5A just look out for Signs with "Flickerei".
Nr.2 is tzo search a Squat (german: "Besetzung", swiss-german: " 'bsetzig") and ask them for help. There are usually a few Squats in the City and if you dont find one by yourself, just go to "Reithalle" (the biggest alternative culture center in CH) and ask at a Restaurant or Bar if they can tell you where one is and may you can fix i there.
'''Hangout in Bern'''
If its hot just ask People for a "Freibad" (free swimming bath, common in bern) or look out for People which are swimming in the River and join them (its a local sport to swim in the rive, just watch out where its ok).
BEWARE people from the StadtNomaden. StadtNomaden is a 'Wagenplatz'(which is kind of a wagon-village, people living in caravans) that rotates evey six months from one place to the other. We knew most of them but some of them proved to be very dangerous bastards. Beware something else: in whole Switzerland drugs consumption is quite wide spread. You need to watch out, because many of them lose their heads. We had a horrible experience, so watch out with these guys.
