We need help with our 200 for TROM Campaign - tromsite.com/donate/ - we have a bit over 40% of the needed support. We only accept 5€ a month donations to not have to rely on a few individuals donating more money. We need to make this sustainable.
Unfortunately the support over the past months has dropped a little bit. So if you can, please support us.
On the same page you can see what you are supporting. We hope this year to bring new projects to TROM, although it is terribly difficult to do so when you can't even get the minimum support needed to run the current projects.
We have been resilient since 2011 so we will not give up, but the ones who see value in such projects need to support them at least a little bit in order for these projects to survive.
Many thanks to those who keep on supporting us!

We extended the shutting down of our TROM.tf Matrix chat from 4th of May to 14th of May so that people have time to migrate their accounts. For more info see - trom.tf/chat/
Please migrate!

IMPORTANT!
We will remove our Matrix server in a week time (4th of May). Here's why?
In short: the service has become hard to manage and bots (likely) have taken advantage of our kindness spamming other rooms/users. Because of that our hosting provider wanted to shut down our entire TROM.tf server. Hard to deal with all that and with a huge 300GB database. On top of this anyone can make an account with matrix.org or other instances.
Full explanation and solutions here - trom.tf/chat/

Why 99% of Glass Eels are Gone and How We Can Save Them? - videos.trom.tf/w/rXaJVsRtHBJGE…
Yet another example of people doing a lot of hard work, for free, and for a good cause. Imagine if more could be involved to do such acts. We need to take care of people, in order for people to not destroy the environment, each other, and to have time to restore what was destroyed.
Help people, to help the world.

Praying For Armageddon - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
A must watch documentary especially now when the biggest cult in the world (Christianity) is celebrating their fantasy story about the creator of the universe. See how this cult is infiltrating politics and influencing decisions that affect all of us.
Terrible.
Us, as humans, have a lot to celebrate if we look at the reality around us. Evolution, DNA, stars, the universe. We are all part of the same real and amazing story. Time to let go of these silly fantasies.

Our chat.trom.tf (Matrix/Synapse) has become very difficult to manage - growing database, not an easy way to prevent bots from registering, or others from abusing our service.
For now we have closed the registrations and only accept them via requests. We have 460 users but we are thinking to perhaps shut down the entire service this year.
Too much work considering anyone can make trade-free accounts with matrix.org or other providers....
We will keep everyone informed about our future plans.

I understand. I hope they can add encryption to the chats...but on the other hand if anyone gains access to our server and is able to read that "text file" in the backend, we are screwed anyway since we host a lot of services on or trom.tf. Including Friendica which is not encrypted....
So yes, I do prefer an encrypted chat, but things must be put into perspective. Our Nextcloud instance at trom.tf already provides encrypted files/folders for all users, so at least we have that.

search.trom.tf/ was moved to our secondary server to avoid future problems with the hosting that warned us against recently about a kind of "abuse" - We think might have been the search engine that probes the searx instance list when doing a search. Will see.
But for now the TROM Search works as usual only that it has been moved to a different server.

UPDATE: Officially the problem has been "fixed". But lets see....we will look for another provider and in case we will be forced to move, we should be able to do so in a day or two.
Our TROM.tf server was flagged by the hosting company as "Abuse: NetscanOutLevel: scansnarf-ng detected Netscan from: We have indications that there was an attack from your server." - and we have a few hours to fix the issue else they are going to shut down the server....
Please be aware of that since the websites may go down and we may have to move to another hosting provider...
This is very bad news but unaware what it can be. Please keep an eye on status.tromsite.com
We will try to update there in case anything happens.

Thank you Michael for becoming our new Patreon! Although we primarily rely on the 200 for TROM campaign and the donations that go through it - see tromsite.com/donate - we also have a Patreon patreon.com/c/TROM and Liberapay account liberapay.com/TROM/ .
These accounts were up and running before the 200 for TROM campaign so we decided to not close them. After all we calculate all of the Patreon and Liberapay donations towards the 200 for TROM campaign.
Thank you to everyone who supports our project!

Thank you Nicholas for the 15 Euros donation! And this message:
Thank you especially to Alexio and Rokosun for listening to me and letting me vent on Matrix/Element. Fuck this trade-based system, the game we have to play, and the fact that we have to sell ourselves for who knows how long!
