One of our storage units for the trom.tf server is failing. We will have to replace it or move to a new server. Mind you in case trom.tf goes offline these days. Before we migrate we will let you know, but if the drive fails suddenly...

We have backups for everything so don't worry.

We spent 3 nights in the Freezing Alps to Save Wolves


We volunteered to spent 3 nights and 4 days in Swiss mountains to protected flock of sheep from the wolf. Or actually to protect wolves. Because if wolves will attack sheep they will be hunted and killed. So we don't want that to happen, that's why we went to Switzerland to join OPPAL mission.

@trom Keep up the good fight friend! I agree the fediverse is the most enjoyable place to do activisim!
in reply to TROM

I really like the point he makes at the end, we need to have a change in mindset to appreciate every person watching - quality views like you say are more important than a bunch of people mindlessly watching some stuff just 'cause they're bored.


Just the normal Manjaro Stable updates. All good. All fine. Grab from here.

The usual updates PLUS a fix. Here is the problem: As you may know we struggle a lot to make all apps (GTK or QT, flatpaks or not) look the same on TROMjaro. To basically use the same theme.


The usual stable updates from Manjaro plus changing our repo URL! The current TROMjaro users NEED to do this in order for their system to update: SEE HERE! There might be a problem with the default TROMjaro wallpaper when using this ISO, in that yo…

I posted this comment on the video itself but will paste it here in case you @Dima see it:

Very well made video Dima!

I did not understand the "solution" part. There was a guy who was planting a crop with all of the other plants, so no herbicides. But how can you harvest that on a big scale? Also how about invasive species when you dont control for that?

Also wouldnt it be better instead of 3D printing that thing for bees, with plastic, to use wood?

Great job overall!

The usual Manjaro Stable updates. Just a reminder that we keep TROMjaro up to date and relevant. Grab the ISO from here.

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!

This was kinda unexpected, but I totally understand why you had to let it go.
in reply to Rokosun

Yes I didnt even want to mention to anyone since I didnt want for anyone to convince me otherwise :D - I needed to let it go for my own sanity. Too much to deal with...and there are more sustainable ways to read saner news like I explained in the article.


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.

You could have saved a lot of typing by simply writing "We hate Jews".

JR Wilson doesn't like this.

in reply to Serge from Babka

I do not hates "jews". I am simply saying that religion is a cult. Regardless of the flavor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult


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.

@tio Nextcloud Talk is a great Software, but there aren't good security options on it, the conversations are saved in clear text on backend.

If you have some tips for this point, I would pleased to see it ;)

@Tio
in reply to P_L.yml

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.
