Thank you to those who are helping TROM monthly! Our first goal is to reach 100 monthly donors to kickstart a new video series for TROM, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for our Nextcloud install (TROM Files) for everyone.

We have a lot of projects and hundreds, if not thousands of people are using our services.

Everything we do is trade-free. No bullshit.

We need 17 more donors to reach our first goal. If you can help please see tromsite.com/donate/

Again thank you to everyone who has supported this project for so many years now!

I thought the festive lights reflected from a cobbled street in the centre of my old town looked magical in the rain this evening. The video I took on my phone really doesn't do it full justice though 😔 #Festive #Faversham #Kent #England

The extent of global sea ice cover is more than 3 million square kilometers below the 1981-2010 average. This is the 2nd lowest on record for this date over the satellite-era.

Here we go again... another season with unusual warmth around the Hudson Bay and a corresponding record late start to the #Arctic sea ice freeze-up...

@Victoria In my view, much indicators across the Arctic have already transitioned into a new state compared to even just a few decades ago: nature.com/articles/s41558-020…

This year's #Arctic sea ice freeze-up is clearly the latest on record for the Baffin Bay region (located between Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago). The extent of ice cover is a record low for the date there.

End of Tio's solo adventures - videos.trom.tf/w/krAqhhhwWYeRE…

This is it, my solo adventures have come to an end. It was a very interesting and useful experience to see how it is to live by myself in the motorhome. I saw many cool places but I was also very work-efficient and did a lot of work on our TROM projects. Overall, a great experience!

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

(late to your news here so you're probably tired of talking about it but I still wanted to say) well done for making the decision it sounds like you were needing to make and also have you given yourself time recently to be like "look at this crazy thing I did" because wow, who knew this kind of thing was even possible for a real human with empathy etc
