These past days the focus was on TROM.tf and TROMjaro. Updates, bug fixes, maintenance. We are currently experiencing some issues with our Friendica if anyone can give us a helping hand please see this github.com/friendica/friendica…
We will release a new TROMjaro soon with our new and awesome theme switcher, a new virtual keyboard, and more.
I am using the filesystem for storing the media. I have been for a while now. But after the update to 2024.08 I see a ton of these: ERROR worker Uncaught exception in worker execution Data class Fr...
Well, of course that if you are poor you'll cut down trees to trade for some food! Everyone should be helped. A basic income without any strings attached is the most basic thing humans can provide now, for everyone!
We need to decouple people from this trade-based society!
Thank you so much Fiona for becoming our new supporter! tromsite.com/donate/ We need 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month to support our TROM projects forever. :)
But think about it: if we enable that plus 720p plus full hd, that would take a lot more diskspace. I would not release these clips only in 360 or 480, those resolutions are very low quality. HD and FullHD I think are totally reasonable resolutions for 2024.
I think focusing on these little things, for these little platforms like ours, makes no difference and sense. I can clearly see a huge difference between 480p and fullHD. Changing the world should also keep us reasonable. Should we also measure the energy it takes for you to start this conversation? :)
For now HD and FullHD are very much reasonable resolutions. If the internet speed is an issue for some, I am sorry but enabling one more lower res will put too much toll on our server's diskspace. We cannot afford it.

For the past few days we managed to trigger the auto-transcription for thousands of our peertube videos videos.trom.tf - All of our TROMcasts, our TROM documentary snippets, all of our videos indeed and all of the VideoNeat trailers now have an English caption. While it is not perfect, it is impressively accurate considering that it is automated. @PeerTube is a real alternative to Youtube, in all regards.
Every new video that is going to be uploaded to our Peertube will have a caption from now on.
How do you make money with content posted on peertube? Not that that functionality is any good on YouTube, but it's functionality it has. It is ad-based on YouTube, so not trustworthy as far as I'm concerned. Does Peertube support that? If so, how?
There are plugins for Peertube as far as I know that enable such features. They are made by 3rd party devs. I would hate to see ads on Peertube and we will never enable that. In that sense peertube is not an alternative to youtube and I hope it stays this way.
The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus fixing our TROM Search redirections. If you are not aware we have integrated a very nifty search into TROMjaro, read all about it here.
Our TROM Social first page (login) is not anymore just an empty page with a simple login, it provides you a peek into the fediverse:
Now you can see what's going on on the network, maybe to convince you to join :). It took a lot of CSS and HMTL gymnastics to achieve this. From my tests on desktop with mobile emulators all looks good on mobile, but for some reason when I check it on my phone it does not look as it should....I shall investigate.
Implemented some dark toggles for some of our services, where it was doable, such as Call
Search
Speed
And made our TROM Call, Jitsi Meet, more reliable.
Lastly we spent many days trying to figure out how to make our Peertube Live work better. Hours of tests, lots of logs. Hopefully we can make it more reliable.
