Our TROM Social (friendica) was down for the past 10+ hours because we had to remove millions of entries from our database that were "injected" by troll instances. We went from around 40 million entries in the database table to around 200 thousand. From 10GB in size to 50MB.
We aim to make our services very reliable. If they are down very often then people cannot use them. So far so great, but lately because we are forced to move to a different (and better) server we need to optimize some databases before moving our websites. So there will be downtimes. We are sorry.
From now on our TROM Social should work reliably. Always check - status.tromsite.com
We have successfully transferred all of our websites, except the TROM.tf ones, to a new location in Finland. Everything seems to be working really well. In less than a week we will start the transfer of TROM.tf, and this can take more time, be aware of that. But we will expand our storage capacity and allow even more videos on Peertube and even more storage for TROM Files.

We are working hard to move our websites to different servers. So some of our websites/services may not work for the next days. Be aware of that. Always check this status.tromsite.com

Hello people,
I (Tio) had a great time in Prague at the ZDay event, and I made a blog post all about it, here - tiotrom.com/2023/09/the-zday-e… - it is a big blog post, because it was a big and wonderful experience.

Wow thank you so much for the 260 Euros donation dear anonymous donor!
We really need support now because we work hard to move our servers to a different location for multiple reasons. But basically we are forced to. So we have to pay a lot more money to move them. But we plan to provide more storage space for TROM Files and maybe more services via TROM.tf too. We are expanding!
If you can support us please do so here - tromsite.com/donate/

Thank you so much SomeOrdinaryDude for the 50 Euros donation! Much much appreciated! While in the long run we need the 200 for TROM campaign to succeed, anyone can still send one time donations from the same page - scroll to the bottom.
We are in the process of trying to find a long term solution for our TROM.tf. Mostly in terms of diskspace since we are running low on that. So any financial help is much much appreciated!
Thank you!

TROM Files now has a wonderful calendar app files.trom.tf - you can even integrate it with your local apps. Import from your trade-based services into this trade free calendar!
Our Friendica is now super fast, same is for our Matrix! So TROM Social and TROM Chat seem to work great now!
See all of our trade-free services at trom.tf/

The plans for the next weeks:
- Update our Friendica and test to make sure everything works fine
- Move our Peertube storage to an object storage so we free up space on our server. Currently we are at the limit when it comes to storage. Using an object storage allows us to scale up.
- Add Pixelfed to our TROM.tf services
- Release a new TROMjaro
All of these require a lot of time and resources. So it make take more than just weeks.
If you can support this work and can donate 5 Euros a month, maybe you can join the 200 for TROM tromsite.com/donate/ - currently there are some 30 people supporting us and we only need 170 more to make TROM forever sustainable :)

Our ZDay presentation is now translated into 4 languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Czech and Catalan videos.trom.tf/w/d5wwwrwGD7D3E…
Kudos to the people who are translating these TROM videos without anyone asking them to do so or how to do it. At TROM we work in this decentralized and more emerging style: people can get involved with whatever they can, and do it on their own.
We only provide some tools and platforms, like our Translation Matrix chat matrix.to/#/#translation:matri…
Amazing people. One of them actually, Lenka, we meet at ZDay. She came because of TROM and she quickly became our friend.
Now she made the Czech subtitle for the presentation and she wants to work on the entire TROM II documentary to subtitle it into Czech. Awesome people!

If Jesus or Superman were to exist in today's society, they would not be able to survive just by doing good things, by helping others and so forth. They would have to become social media influencers:
Sell their own shampoo line, advertise for companies...
