Thank you Guillaume for the 250 Euros donation! This is fantastic! It may add up a bit to speeding up the TROM II documentary work comeback. If we had enough money we would resume the work on the documentary. And we wok on achieving that. Thank you to everyone who still donates via Patreon or Liberapay. You can do so here tromsite.com/donate/ #tromlive

We have increased the file size limit for send.trom.tf/ from 3GB to 5GB. Compare with the very popular WeTransfer and we offer 3 times more storage. Plus we can store all files up to a week. On top of this all files are encrypted, and you can send an email with the files from our server directly, to anyone. You can combine multiple files into one archive and even password protect them.

Oh, and of course, our TROM Send is trade-free. We do not want anything in return: not your currency, not your data, not your attention. WeTransfer wants all of those in return for a lesser service.

Make sure you bookmark send.trom.tf/ #tromlive

We have expanded the storage space for our trom.tf server by 400 more GB of SSD. This means that we now have some 800+ free GB of the server. That's great. Should be fine for this year at least. Thank you to everyone who still donates to TROM. #tromlive

People are saying that Time is Money in this world. The better and more realistic and important saying is that: Money is Time, and time is non-renewable. No sane society would look at time in this shallow manner as humans do on this planet.

Our monthly budged updated. We now have around 2.100 Euros in total. This is meant to keep all of the TROM projects alive and relevant. Some 30 websites or so. See tromsite.com/tools/ . It is of course not enough. TROM II documentary has stalled now, because of lack of funding. We, the ones behind TROM, are trying to work (trade) to make some money to support this project and continue the TROM II documentary. Unfortunately it is extremely difficult.

We still get some monthly donations or one time donations from time to time, which is fantastic! So if you think TROM creates something important, please consider a donation tromsite.com/donate/

We have many free books, videos, and so many tools: from social networks to operating systems and so on. #tromlive

A gun, a nuclear bomb, a spear, are not dangerous unless humans decide to use them against each other. Never forget that.

Look at why humans use them as weapons, not at the weapons themselves. #tromlive

Thank you so much Florin for the 100 Euros donation! Such a great help. Any money that flows to our TROM project, is used for our project one way or another. You support over 30 websites. tromsite.com/donate/ Much appreciated for your support Florin! #tromlive

Our TROM.tf server's diskspace is getting kinda full. We have a ton of services so this is to be expected. We are trying to be more restrictive with our Peertube instance so that we may be able to remove more content that does not fit the thematic. When we reach 80% diskspace full we will need to do something about it.

#tromlive

We can migrate our Peertube storage to an object storage. Maybe we will do a campaign to raise the funds for that. May be as low as 250 Euros for a year of 2TB storage. That is twice as much as we have for Peertube right now. And we can free up some space on the server for Nextcloud and other services. Right now Peertube takes up about 70% of the storage on the server.

Usual Manjaro updates plus:

  • Added a font manager. This one.
  • Added the Gnome Clocks: Alarms, World Clocks, Stopwatch. Do not forget to fix the libadwaita-non-respecting-the-theme thing for it. See this.
  • Speaking of that we have removed the Gnome Calculator because we could not force it to use the system’s theme, because of the same “libadwaita-non-respecting-the-theme thing”. And we added the pantheon-calculator. Nice, little and useful.

That’s all! Grab the ISO from here.

That would be really cool, I'd vote for that, haha


Never forget this: you can be the most skilled human in the world, the smartest, the kindest. But if you do not trade your skills and qualities, from this trade-based society's perspective, you are as good as dead. The best surgeon, the best painter, the best electrician, doctor, programmer, scientist...will die in this society if he/she does not trade their skills for needs/wants.

Never ever forget that.

We need no statistics to realize how fucked up our trade-based society is.

Our official website is tromsite.com/ and these are our other projects tromsite.com/tools/.

Our official Social Network Page is only this social.trom.tf/profile/trom/ and our official Video Platform Account is here videos.trom.tf/video-channels/…

And on Matrix you can find us at matrix.to/#/!IfXnJlgQOzoJTYJxQ…

All of these are on tromsite.com. We have no other websites/projects or social accounts. Not for our Trade-Free project, not for our videos, not for anything else. So do not confuse other projects or social accounts with TROM's ones. They are not.

Others are making accounts pretending to be ours, and they do not even mention that they are not official accounts. So don't be fooled. #tromlive

There is also the official cloud folder with all the TROM files (videos, photos, books, and so forth): drive.tromsite.com/s/FLJece78W…


Our Friendica social.trom.tf got updated to the (almost) latest version. We are just 1 month behind the stable releases. Hopefully all works well if not let us know. #tromlive


Guillaume has donated another 450 Euros. This is incredible! It helps our situation a lot. Can't thank you enough my friend! tromsite.com/donate/ #tromlive


Thank you Guillaume for the 50 Euros donation and for being such a great human being! #tromlive


Work!



You're born with wings,
You learn to talk,
You have no time to fly or walk,
This world is empty,
You're just a stock.
Shut'up and listen.
Now go to work!

Your time is running,
You're getting old,
Your wings are gone,
You barely walk.
There was no loss,
You're just a stock,
A trading value, in someone's flock.

The TROM II documentary was paused because of lack of funds. It is a sad decision but we have no choice. Thank you to all of those who are still helping us via Patreon or Liberapay! Without you we could not have kept the work going - tromsite.com/donate/

We will work again on the documentary once we have enough financial stability to do so. This trade-based society kicks everyone in the balls on a constant basis. TROM was able to withstand it since 2011. Active, updated, relevant, engaged. These are difficult time but we are not giving up! We need to tell the world that trade is the origin of most problems and to motivate them to do trade-free goods/services. We are starting a movement that has no leader, and is attached to no project. But it needs time and we are the pioneers of it, so for us it will be the harshest.

The people who have helped, help and will help TROM, the ones donating, even those spreading the word, are all part of this new movement whether they understand it or not. #tromlive
