For the next few days there will be one documentary posted on VideoNeat to better understand the situation in Israel - West Bank - Gaza.

Let's start with "The Bibi Files" - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…

Likely the reason Israel started to become more and more draconian for the past years with the Palestinians. Couple with the fact that Israel pumped money into Hamas for their own interests. Very telling documentary.

YEAR: 2024 | LENGTH: 1 part (115 minutes) | SOURCE: WIKI

description:

Benjamin Netanyahu, facing allegations of bribery and corruption, is being interrogated by Israeli police. Netanyahu is defensive, calling the interrogators’ questions “delusional” and the investigation “preposterous and insane”.

Insiders, including investigative journalist Raviv Drucker, believe that the 2018–2022 Israeli political crisis was a direct result of Netanyahu’s efforts to avoid prosecution. They also claim that Netanyahu is using the Israel–Hamas war as an instrument to further delay his trial. Drucker is familiar with Netanyahu, having published several investigative reports on Netanyahu in the years before the documentary. Despite decades of corruption allegations, Drucker notes that Netanyahu has never faced prosecution.

I was finally able to upgrade Yunohost to the latest Debian 12. Remember my struggle social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc4… ?

• So we managed to fix the Borg package for YNH. Thus I was able to have proper backups. I made backups for all of the apps and YNH.
• Bought a dedicated server from Hetzner that was still providing Debian 11 images.
• Installed YNH there
• Restored all backups there except for the TROMjaro Forum (Discord) that's broken.
• Managed to do the YNH upgrade there
• Bought a Webdock Server (where our websites were originally hosted)
• Installed the new YNH there
• Restored the backups
• Made a mistake and bought an expensive server, could not downgrade, bought yet another one from Webdock and migrated the websites there (easier this time, snapshot based)

It was a LOT of work. Not click here and do that. Debug, fix, wait...I worked almost 24h since yesterday. But now all seems to be fine. New server. Everything updated.

I have left the TROMjaro Forum on the old server and downgraded its hardware to its lowest possible to keep it cheap. In total we pay a bit less than before despite all of these since I am able to get the money back from all of these servers because I used them for less than 24h. Thus the rush. We are super low on money so we have to be careful about these things.

This was the hardest thing I had to do these past months. Took over a month to fix it overall but now I can relax a bit.

There is a lot of work behind these websites, you know.... But I am happy with the end result.

I love our TROMsite.com, TROMjaro.com, TROMhome.com, VideoNeat.com, Trade-Free.org, TROMnews.com :)

Very much stuck with updating our TROMsite server. That is all of the websites we have except the TROM.tf ones.

Here's the conundrum:

• We use @YunoHost and a VPS.
• YNH pushed a big update recently from Debian 11 to 12.
• Our VPS is containerized and fails to do this big update through YNH. Thus a fatal failure and unable to reach the server if we update. Nuked. Took many failed attempts, and many days to figure the reason.
• The hosting company cannot help in any way.

Solution (not really):

• Buy a new VPS with Debian 11 (not too easy to find)
• Install an older YNH there.
• Restore our YNH setup from the older one using Borg and do the update to Debian 12 from that server.

BUMMER!
- The Borg YNH app is broken and thus all of our backups are broken. An issue with the folder structure inside the backup archives. Seems easy to fix and they are fixing it, but we need to wait for the update.

AFTER BORG IS FIXED:
- Say we buy a new server with Debian 11. Restore YNH there and do the update there.

TROMjaro FORUM WILL BE DEAD:
- There is a huge issue it seems with Discourse (the TROMjaro forum software we use). It did not receive any updates in months and months. And it fails to restore any backup on any system. Thus if we move to a new server in order to update to YNH Debian 12, we cannot restore the forum.

Very very difficult, if not impossible situation.

Hey @PeerTube this year I will try to push our Peertube instance to get more eyeballs and people interested to join. But we need to also help each other. We have a few original Peertube channels that prioritize Peertube and are not simply "second hand youtube channels".

Maybe you can recommend them and more on your joinpeertube.org/en_US#find-pe… page.

For one you may be aware but we published a 5 hours documentary exclusively on Peertube - videos.trom.tf/w/p/fVpfZ9VfWrW… Subtitled in several languages. We even talk about The Fediverse and Peertube in the documentary.

We have our entire TROM channel there - videos.trom.tf/c/trom/videos - Hundreds of videos. And this year I will start a new video series. Some videos will also be about the fediverse, peertube, and FOSS.

We recently started our motorhome adventures (very family friendly channel) - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome and we are posting there twice a week or so.

Be Brave To Act made by @Dima has really great and original content about volunteering. We will try to help him keep the channel updated - he mainly posts on youtube.

Or VideoNeat - videos.trom.tf/c/videoneat - documentary trailers.

We need more original Peertube creators and not simply those who "mirror" their Youtube channels there. If people know that the channel X posts only on Peertube and not on Youtube, it may make these people follow on Peertube. But if people know that channel X posts on Youtube and Peertube is just like a mirror....is different.

You and others need to help us and people like us, if possible, to get the Peertube content out. So that people get to use Peertube more often.

I choose to post on Peertube first, or only, despite not reaching as many people as I would on Youtube, but I do it because I think it is worth the effort to promote this sane alternative to the giant ad-platform that Youtube is.

And thank you for what you've created. By "helping" us, I mean perhaps promote good and original Peertube content on your homepage and also share it if possible. So the newcomers get to see that Peertube is not just the awesome software you've built, but people use it to create original/good content.

Thanks!
